That is one issue but the bigger issue may be the human tendency to rationalize it all away without an official diagnosis such that you keep falling off the gluten free bandwagon. But there is the option of going for the gluten challenge in a more robust way and getting retested. -

Welcome to the forum! Do you mean that you eat food from fryers that also cook gluten items, and you don't have serious issues? If so, the problem with this approach is that, depending on how often you do this, you could be causing villi damage if you have celiac disease (you haven't mentioned whether or not you have celiac disease), which can lead... -

Oh yes, I figured 50g of bread would contain way less than that in gluten. I just meant to say that I tried to make my 2 daily slices count instead of 2 tiny Wonder bread slices haha. Thanks for the insight trents, I appreciate someone validating that what I'm going through isn't all in my head or something! This process has been so frustrating and... -

Gluten free wheat flour????
Thanks for sharing that. For what it's worth, a majority of celiacs can eat such products without villi damage--which has been documented in many studies that you can read here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/miscellaneous-information-on-celiac-disease/gluten-free-diet-celiac-disease-amp-codex-alimentarius-wheat-starch/ But super sensitive... -

@Alibu, It's the thiamine (in the forms TTFD or Benfotiamine) that can get into the brain easily and improve migraines. The magnesium Threonate won't help by itself. Taking the thiamine regularly will keep them away. Sounds to me like your doctor is looking for the Marsh 3C or 4 Stage (total villus damage) to make his diagnosis. Those studies...

Welcome to the forum! Do you mean that you eat food from fryers that also cook gluten items, and you don't have serious issues? If so, the problem with this approach is that, depending on how often you do this, you could be causing villi damage if you have celiac disease (you haven't mentioned whether or not you have celiac disease), which can lead to more serious issues later. -

Thanks for the insight trents, I appreciate someone validating that what I'm going through isn't all in my head or something! This process has been so frustrating and confusing. I guess the only thing about not getting the "official" diagnosis is not knowing how strict to be with CC (in my early 20s trying to think about the long term effects) but I hope starting the diet will bring some relief either way. Thanks again.

Taking the thiamine regularly will keep them away. Sounds to me like your doctor is looking for the Marsh 3C or 4 Stage (total villus damage) to make his diagnosis. Those studies I sent show that damage at Marsh 3C or 4 will develop over a longer period of time. Newer diagnosis criteria would diagnose you with Celiac with your HLA DQ 2.5 genes and high antibody levels alone. You would benefit by following a gluten free diet. I have type two diabetes. I used to wake up with migraines if I ate high...
