HI ALL,

My Rheumy suggested it because I had such body aches and pains and very tender tissue. She did diagnose Vid D def. and I take 50,000 ius once a week and it's helped a ton. Bowel issuse and ab pain were another issue. SO, doc suggested I try it and with in the first three days to a week, this pain I've had since i was a teen subsided rather substantually.

I've had troublew with an inflamed stomach too this last summer and finally got an endoscopy. All doc said was yup, we don't know why the linning is inflamed. Don't take any more ibprofen and watch the acid foods. Well, ok, but it didn't solve it.

So, here I am.

:)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA :lol::lol::lol:

Sorry, it's just that we must have had the same gastroenterologist. :rolleyes:

If the gluten-free thing is working for you, heck, just do it. It's just avoiding gluten, no harm there, it's not like we've all been prescribed drano or anything like that. :lol:

There are lots of people on here that don't have a dx, and it's working for them. The current tests are tricky and unreliable at best.

I still say that positive dietary response is the best indicator of gluten intolerance/celiac... if you feel better on the gluten-free diet, stay on it. Simple.

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I noticed eating gluten-free or CGF foods have higher sugar and sodium some. No added sugar protein bars I found better with plant fiber. I wanted to know what are you go to besides whole fruits/veggies that you find are healthy for you where you can feel eating normal without hurting yourself or health. I was looking into subscription based like Thrift to see if there is something that is healthier CGF that can make me feel normal. Thanks

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!
