PRE DIAGNOSIS QUERY

I have been feeling constantly nauseous for the past 7 years or so with stomach cramping, bloating and a feeling of fullness/nausea/pain after i eat a meal (not over eating i can never finish a standard sized meal) - and a few times over the past few years i have had severe cramping to the point where i faint/lose vision etc - i have had different tests for gynae things in relation to this. But this time the gp has ordered tests for bowel diseases and coeliac disease as my bowel movements have changed over the past few months. I have a bowel movement every few days now instead of daily but on the days i do, its 3 or 4 times in the day and there is little warning and bad cramping. I get my bloods tested in 3 weeks and i havent ate gluten im 24 hours and havent felt any nausea. If i stop eating gluten will that affect my testing? If so, how much gluten should i eat for the next 3 weeks or should i return to my full gluten every meal diet until im tested. I don't have diarrheoa too often so it may not be gluten related but i couldnt believe the difference one day made.

This is the worst part. You know you feel better gluten free, but if you are gluten free it will affect the test results.

Ok, i will keep eating gluten for the next while - maybe not to the extent that i was but id finally like some sort of answer to all my ongoing symptoms so it might be worth a bit more discomfort and nausea. Thank you for letting me know!

      Thank you for your prompt reply. Have others experienced LUQ and L sided back pain when on gluten? Could gluten be irritating the pancreas to cause the slight rise in lipase?

      Wow! I'd be interested to know where you get the tinctures. You can DM me if you wish. There's a Spanish company ... hifasdaterra ... who make high quality medicinal mushrooms in capsule form.

      Jason, I have a bone to pick with your terminology. There is "gluten intolerance" which I believe is synonymous with celiac disease and then there is "gluten sensitivity" which comes from Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or NCGS for short. It is true, however, that there is still a lot of inconsistency in the use of these terms.

      I can’t say this will work for everyone but for me the difference is incredible so might be worth trying. I’ve never been diagnosed celiac but via an elimination diet I realised I can’t eat any lectins, gluten soy and oats are particularly problematic. If I eat them I’m in bed for a week, then heavy bleeding and extreme pain for another, followed by a third week of bleeding on and off. My skin was a mess and it snowed when I brushed my hair. Since taking reishi and cordyceps mushroom tincture I can’t believe the difference, I’ve had a lot of help from this site so I want to return the favour. I took the tincture for my guts but the most apparent effect is that I feel like my brain works again, I can’t begin to describe how wonderful it is to be able to achieve basic things, I’ve barely been able to organise getting out of bed for so long, it feels like I haven’t been hit over the head with a mallet for the first time in years. Then I glutened myself, not necessarily gluten as so many things wipe me out but definitely ate something I shouldn’t have, I took a treble dose of the tincture and almost immediately felt much better so continued with the increased dose and three days (not weeks) later was back to feeling great, no bleeding involved. My skin is better than I can remember it ever being, I feel great 😊. I spend £1.50 a day on these but it’s worth every penny, I hope this helps someone else out there reading this. I wish I’d known about them 20 years ago. best wishes everyone 🍄
