1 More Week Of Gluten-then Test-& Milk Question

I gave up gluten off and on over the last year but it wasn't until I gave it up for 3 months that I slowly started feeling better. Then I went on a retreat and all they had was bread, cheese and fruit. I became so bloated and sick I believe I have my answer.

I learned I must be back on gluten at least three weeks to get an accurate test and I have one week to go. Oh! Now that I know what is making me sick it feels like eating poison.

I have read on the posts here that giving up milk can speed my recovery. Is there anything else that can?

I have tried to give up milk too in the past but am soooooo starving that I just can't do it. My stomach just burns in the morning until I get some dairy. Anyone else get that and have any recommendations?

I have suffered with severe chronic fatigue which became much worse after my first daughter was born. I believe I had adrenal fatigue on top of the celiac.

How long does it take to recover? Do I have to keep eating gluten until the biopsy or just until the blood tests?

I'm so happy to have hope again. I know I will feel better after I can quit gluten for good.

Thank you all for being here! It's like water in the desert!

If you're going to have the biopsy, you need to keep eating gluten until then. The diet sure told you alot, I hope the rest of the tests do, too.

My skin has sores, my body aches my eye is effected, im actively dealing with all these lovely issues, sibo positive, ibs, high blood pressure now dealing with depression because my new doctors after 25 years of many test dancing around my disregarded celiac disease that I was half ass told im 1994 by endoscopy and colonoscopy stating to stay away from wheat and Ill be fine Im not.I had to reprove my disease with another endoscopy and colonoscopy. Had blood work with new gi and of course blood work shows fabulous, nothing wrong. Im not eating the foods im not supposed too.Im stressed and fired of fighting of my disregarded celiac.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By plumbago · Posted

      @Joel K If the OP is ever in the hospital, and her celiac disease tests did come back positive and she does have celiac disease, she can just tell the doctors that she needs a gluten-free diet because she has celiac disease. They will listen to her, in all probability. And honestly, celiac disease is not taken very seriously inside hospitals, to say nothing of emergency departments, where in any case, the pt may not be able to verbalize anything, and the staff have to act right then.

      It is illogical not to disclose a positive celiac disease finding to your doctor, particularly if you're 60 years old. Human beings generally begin failing in one form or another from 60 onward and you might find yourself as an in-patient in a hospital or at an emergency room. Drugs often have minute amounts of gluten and hospital and nursing home food certainly contains gluten.  Here's another scenario: Your doctor sends you for annual labs and your WBC count and others come back out of range.  I frankly think one should leave politics out of the equation when it comes to your health. (Insurance isn't about your health, by the way) Or go ahead and don't let your doctor know.  Only one person will have to deal with the results of that decision.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Thanks @Beverage for checking in!  I haven't changed the dogs' food yet.  I'm still working through some of the other issues that I need to remedy (transitioning to an anti-inflammatory diet, being sure to get only gluten-free certified items, and buying some new cookware for my kitchen).  Somewhere after that, I have on my list to try out the dogs on a new dog food, but I haven't gotten there yet.  In the meantime, though, I can definitely see that some of my worst days seem to follow when there's a possibility of gluten cross-contamination (I'm still working to cut waaay down on these instances) OR when I eat anything with dairy/ milk protein in it.  So I think I need to really get a better handle on my day-to-day eating habits to reduce all gluten cross-contamination into my food and also any dairy intake, and then at that point, I think I'll start moving over to the dog food thing.
