If you won't eat gluten free, you won't heal your Celiac damage.  It will get worse.  If you really feel this bad, perhaps that will be enough to convince you to eat gluten free?

Unless you go 100% gluten free it will only get worse, lead to complications, and eventually kill you. -_- I did not know about mine for years and ended up with other auto immune disease, multiple allergies, and  food intolerance issues. I thought I was dying when I figured it out and went gluten free. You can not cheat on this diet as the antibodies will spike for weeks to a month. Symptoms from a gluten exposure can take days, weeks, and months to go away. In the case of nerve damage (mine started effecting my brain and nervous system) years before you start seeing improvement.

It is quite hard at first, but once you get it down it becomes second nature. there are many gluten free alternatives now days to make it easier. Now with your severe amount of issues and pain ignoring it. You probably already developed other food intolerance issues, and will probably have a very limited diet for awhile til you heal somewhat.

If you are celiac you HAVE to be gluten free no matter how inconvienent it may seem to you.  Your body is clearly telling you to stop cheating on the gluten free lifestyle. If you need help with identifying where you can improve we are here to help in any way we can. You need to go and read the Newbie 101 thread at the top of the Coping section. It has a lot of valuable info for you. I hope your pain resolves soon but be aware that for some repeat glutenings can lead to the development of other autoimmune problems and for some the pain of each repeat glutening can increase as well.

      Elimination diet think I may be Gluten tolerant next steps to get tested? Questions

      By trents · Posted

      No. That is, unless the dietician themself has a gluten disorder or is managing a close family member who does and therefore is immersed in it daily so as to be up on the nuances of eating gluten free. Otherwise, they just give you very general information which you can get online.

      Yes, a very cryptic and uninformative lab result report indeed! But it does seem like this is typical for the UK. It's almost like the "professionals" in that healthcare system don't want you to try and figure anything out for yourself.

      Thanks for the explanation. Do you think a dietician is required? I see people ask about getting one but what now will they help with besides charge you to say start away from gluten.

      Wow! I think the answers to your questions seem obvious to me but I'll oblige you. It's invasive because they are running a scope into an orifice and down through much of your body. Any procedure that invades the body is invasive. It's expensive because you are paying a trained professional (a doctor) to do it, plus nurses and an anesthesiologist plus you are using expensive equipment. It may not be expensive to you, depending on your insurance plan, but it is expensive as far as the health insurer is concerned. It involves some risk because you would be put under anesthesia and because there is always the danger of tearing something with the scope on the way down through your esophagus, stomach and into your small bowel.

      Maybe your followup is for the elevated total IgA, and not for celiac. It is strange not to have a numerical result for the tissue transglutaminase. I hope you get answers in the followup with your GP.
