My N D  doc gave me a hormone test which also tested for antibodies for celiac (2 wheat proteins).

I came up 14 out of 15!!!! My doc said i could NOT eat gluten anymore and she gave me a list what i could eat and not eat.  But i did NOT believe her since i was not having hard core symptoms at that time.  I kept on eating gluten till Nov/ 2019 till my symptoms got so bad. THEN i knew  'OMG she was right'.  She didn't tell me i had celiacs or Gluten   Intolerance,  and for awhile i thought  G  I.  NOW i know i have celiacs disease as i GET hardcore symptoms immediately and i can feel my body attacking the gluten and my intestines. And i know now if you have ANTIBODIES that does equal celiacs.    But my qst  is  does the throat scope hurt?   how do i know if i have any other BIG alergies? will gastro doc  refer me to the  allergy doc and how does that work? does it hurt? I don't want to do any thing that is invasive or hurts. How do they test you for allergies?  Also i have hardcore pituitary issue with a lot of  hypoglycemia and dizzness and when i got glutened the other day it made it worse. But i am getting better.  Does anyone have PIT issues along with  Celiacs?  I have had 50 symptoms with me eating gluten probably more. I have been glutened free since nov  21st, 2019  but i got glutened  on friday  Feb 28th, so if i hurry and go to mainstream doc to take tests will it show up?  it should . I dont want to eat gluten crackers. I think  i am just gonna narrow it down to eating only  5-9 whole  foods and that is it and   NOTHING ever processed that says gluten free. I heard other ppl are getting glutened on stuff that says gluten free.  SO far  only the wal mart chips  I  reacted!!!!   But i did not previously.  The bag does not say certified gluten free. Maybe that is the problem. Amys meals are fine.  thanks    Also  my body gave me warning signals that i ignored .If  i would have stopped eating the chips faster I think i would have  NOT got glutened .SO now i know what to look for if i ever eat processed foods again.  I get that small PAIN right in my stomach above the pelvic area.  And for me small amount of gluten  =small  stomach pain symptoms and a lot BIG.  Like when i ate  3 pieces of pumking bread on Nov 21st. lol= HUGE pains!!   

It also had extra vital wheat gluten added.

The EGD didn't hurt and I had it done twice. They sedate you so you're not really fully awake. You may have a slightly sore throat but it's not really anything notable.

thanks so much. I want to know if I have any damage.  I heard you can still have damage even for ppl who are NOT having symptoms,  and who have celiacs.

Yes, people that have celiac disease can be asymptomatic and have damage that shows up on the EGD.

But they are a time BOMB, And they eventually one day HAVE HARDCORE symptoms like with me two years later after a test showed i can't handle gluten and i  and all those ppl ARE having symptoms but they are ignoring them and they are subtle at that time before the time bomb explodes.

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state...

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent. People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7. People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9. There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease. Are you still having symptoms? What do...

      Glutened

      By Oliverg · Posted

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?
