With a result that high it means you are Celiac. If your biopsy results should come back negative do the diet strictly anyway. Damage can be patchy and get missed and positive blood work trumps negative biopsy. Hope you are feeling better soon. Do be sure to read the Newbie 101 thread at the top of the Coping section as that has a lot of good info on what you need to do to say safe.

Can you have antibodies in your blood with a wheat allergy

ravenwoodglass Mentor

No an allergy would not cause those antibodies to be high. The small intestine is very big and damage can be easily missed. Do get on the diet strictly and then in 6 months or so get your antibodies retested. They will likely have come down and your symptoms improved.

I agree with Ravenwoodglass.  I also understand your frustration.  ?

The actual proof  is how you may feel on the diet.  Give it a solid six months.

What then get another blood test will I have to be on gluten for that or just get tested

ravenwoodglass Mentor

You would not need to be back on gluten for that test as it is to see if the diet is helping bring the antibodies down. That combined with resolution of symptoms is diagnostic and some doctors will give a diagnosis based on the results despite a negative biopsy.

Try and stick with as much whole unprocessed food as you can for now. Veggies, fruits, potatoes, rice, meats and fish etc will help to aid healing. After you are feeling better for a bit than go add in gluten free treats and convience foods. If you haven't been much of a cook before ask and look at the recipe section for ideas. Best to avoid or limit dairy until you have healed and personally I would also avoid soy as those two items are common intolerances for many of us. Add them in when you have been feeing better to make sure you are tolerating. I hope you are feeling better soon but don't get discouraged if you have some ups and downs. Be sure you have checked the Newbie 101 thread as it has a lot of good advice to help keep you safe.

Does anybody have trouble with chicken I did was up all night feeling sick

cyclinglady Grand Master

(edited)

No, but I might suspect the herbs used to season it.  I have a garlic intolerance that has never resolved.  I once became very ill after consuming copious amounts of delicious gluten-free fried chicken that was garlic free and I made it!   I think sheer gluttony got me.  How was the chicken prepared?  Did you purchase wrapped in the store or was it in a meat case near “stuffed” pork chops that the butcher prepared?

I brought it all wrapped up from Sainsbury's it was free range

My guess is that the chicken was okay unless you recently developed an intolerance to poultry (unlikely).    Was it packaged in the store or at the factory?   What do you eat with it?  What did you consume during the day or prior day?  Often it can take a while for antibodies to build up.  Not everyone reacts instantly.  

You said you thought you were glutened last week.  If I were glutened, I can expect to have abdominal pain digesting anything, even safe foods for weeks.  As soon as any food hits my small intestine, the pain starts and ends when it exits the small intestine.  I always feel fine in the morning and dread having to start eating.  I eat soft easy-to-digest foods like soups and stews.  It can take a month for me to digest without pain after a glutening.

 When a celiac gets glutened, the reaction does not resolve within a day or so.  No, the body flares-up and the reaction can last for days or weeks (everyone with celiac disease reacts a bit differently).   Does that make sense?  

You could still be reacting to your exposure from last week which is already adding fuel to the fire (your TTG was a 100 when you were diagnosed a month ago) and is still probably elevated (decreasing but not normal).  

Give it more time.  The diet has a steep learning curve and healing does take months and months, if not a year.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free...

      Years ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came...

      Your Complete Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Plan: Recipes, Tips & Holiday Favorites

      Wow what a helpful article!! I am just seeing this now but I hosted a small group of family for Thanksgiving at my house this year and I did some of these things- got a butterball gluten-free turkey, got gluten-free stuffing, had a few gluten-free sides, and a gluten-free nothing-Bundt-cake. I had other non gluten-free things there too for others, and I also...

      By HAUS · Posted

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By marion wheaton · Posted

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.

      By trents · Posted

      @BlessedinBoston, it is possible that in Canada the product in question is formulated differently than in the USA or at least processed in in a facility that precludes cross contamination. I assume from your user name that you are in the USA. And it is also possible that the product meets the FDA requirement of not more than 20ppm of gluten but you are a super sensitive celiac for whom that standard is insufficient.
