Reactions To Gluten

I am still waiting for the results of my blood test and I cannot get it off my mind...I tried eating gluten days before but I didn't eat as much as normally...I was sick and pretty lethargic because of it while getting my test done!

Since then I have been trying to eat gluten-free, and trying to test my reaction to the diet. I was going to continue eating gluten incase I would have to get an endoscopy, but can't bring myselft to do it, at least everyday. I have been feeling good, then I try (or by mistake) eating something with gluten but it seems I don't get the same reaction to different gluten-containing products...

for example, the last time I had a beer I was extremely sick a short while after (pains, sore throat, tired, nauseous...), but recently I had some duff with a meal (duff is like a pastry made of white four, baking soda, and water) and didn' t get the same reaction, only mild gas...is this normal to get different reactions to different products?

thanks...

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Since I've been a member of this forum,  I've seen some people write that they have not been able to tolerate corn, and others nightshades - tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers (including bell peppers, chili peppers, and paprika).    However, intolerances can be short term, just while you are healing.    So bear this in mind if you start dropping certain foods from your diet - you may well be able to eat them again once you are healed.

      Welcome to the forum, @Izelle! Normally, the diagnosis of celiac disease involves two stages.  The first stage involves a simple blood test that looks for antibodies that are pretty specific to celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that attacks the lining of the small bowel which produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood with tests specifically designed for this purpose. There are a number of these tests that can be run. Some are more specific for celiac disease and thus more reliable than others. The two most common antibody tests ordered by physicians when diagnosing celiac disease are the "total IGA" and the "tTG-IGA" test. At least these two should always be...

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      Thank you for saying that. That doctor diagnosed me with IBS with no follow-up so the relationship is already concluded. If I pursue diagnosis further I'll request someone else.
