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

[Mia H]

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.
