Hi everyone! I have some questions that have been on my mind for a while and I want to know your opinion

1) I stopped eating gluten for two days and I felt an incredible difference, everything improved, my eyesight, my mood, I had more energy, no more pressure in my head, no abdominal pain and I felt a lot lighter. I decided to cut gluten for ever but then I read about celiac disease and decided to get tested. So I ate gluten 4 times a day for 3 weeks before doing the blood test. Do you think that not eating gluten for two days could affect the results in some way? I know it is not a lot of time, but I am scared of getting a false negative.

2) now i am still eating gluten for the biopsy (in case the results are positive) but just in the evening and before sleeping so that during the day I don't feel that bad. Do you think that could also affect the results? I just think that if I don't feel bad all the time or if I don't eat gluten during 9-10 hours my intestines are going to recover and then the biopsy is going to be negative. Should I eat more gluten during the day? Or can I keep eating like I am doing now?

Thank you all in advance!

You should be fine for the blood work. Eating your daily 'dose' of gluten at night is fine if that makes dealing with your symptoms easier.

That 2 day window gluten free followed by 3 weeks on...you should be fine.
Eating it in the evening before bed is something we often suggest so people can try to sleep off the worst of the discomfort and be semi functional during a gluten challenge.

It can take months for your intestines to heal, sure the inflammation might go away a bit sooner but depending on how long the disease has been active and how strict you are some take up to 24 months to completely heal their villi.  Eat like you are and it will be fine.

Unless of course your the Wolverine and have super fast regeneration.

      Why?

      By mishyj · Posted

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.

      Why?

      By mishyj · Posted

      My daughter has celiac disease and has had for a long time. She fell loses strictly gluten-free diet and recently got rid of all cutting boards in any gluten in her house at all. She just had a stool test and it came back showing of gigantic response to gluten in her diet. What could be going on since she doesn't eat any gluten and is very careful about any kind of hidden glue? Help!

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors.  Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps.  I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage (back strain); I had been sitting down in a car for too long and wearing a tight belt (I have pudendal nerve issues and sacroiliac issues and this exacerbates the pain), and I had bloating and burning pain in my colon caused by eating too much soy, latte and caffeine, I guess putting further pressure in the lower abdomen.  I had this same pain prior to my diagnosis and a couple of years post-diagnosis, I'd quite forgotten how unpleasant it was.

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      By cristiana · Posted

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon.  Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?
