Antibodies in the normal range, but still sick?

Ok, so I was diagnosed with celiac disease four months ago and have been gluten-free ever since. Some symptoms have improved but I still feel nauseous and just generally sick a lot of the time.  My GI doctor re-tested my antibody levels and they were in the normal range.  My doctor said that since my antibodies are in the normal range my symptoms must be from another issue such as IBS.  Has anyone else experienced lingering symptoms like this even when antibodies are in the normal range?  How long did it take for your nausea, "icky" feeling to go away after starting a strict gluten-free diet?  

Thanks!

You could have another intolerance. Soy and dairy are the most common. You may want to eliminate those and if that gives relief add them back in one at a time and see if the issues come back. Some can find a symptom and food log to be helpful in pinpointing what may be the problem. I hope you feel better soon.

      @TempCloud  How are you doing?  I hope you aren't reacting too badly? I would most likely react like Trents.  That said, I have read accounts of some coeliacs not showing any symptoms after glutening, after a long break from eating gluten.  But should that happen to you, unfortunately it should not be interpreted as the 'green light' to go back to gluten.  I am afraid coeliac disease at the present is a lifelong condition, and so, too, must be the gluten free diet.  Here are some tips to try, to help you feel better.

      If it was me, within 2-3 hours I would be throwing up violently with excruciating abdominal cramps for 2-3 hours. When this phase was done I would go into the diarrhea phase for several hours. But every celiac is different in how they respond to getting "glutened".

      Gluten free wheat flour????

      By CJF · Posted

      I was recently browsing a local grocery store's for gluten free flour and they had a King Arthur bread flour that was made with wheat!!!! Can anyone on this site tell me more about this??  Is it really gluten-free? Safe for Celiac sufferers??? I'd love to make bread again that actually tastes like real bread.
