How Will I Know?

I don't really have a reaction to gluten.....I got checked because I was feeling fatigue and more bloated than normal but nothing really serious. I'm afraid that when I go gluten free after my biopsy that I won't know if I'm getting traces of gluten from something I use...any advice on how to deal with this I think I am going to be constantly paranoid!

Well, when you go gluten-free, you might suddenly notice that you do react to gluten. Small traces might suddenly start to affect you. If not, just be as careful as you can, and other than that..don't worry too much about it! :) You'll be fine.

Welcome. Find something that has been a constant feeling for you. For instance, my grandmother always commented on my dark circles under my eyes. After going gluten free they are gone. Now when I see the circles I know I have been glutened. Also acid reflux is worse. You will start to notice the difference.

I too was diagnosed without any of the classic symptoms and started the gluten-free diet about 6 or 7 weeks ago. I have noticed that the less gluten I eat (cause I'm still making some mistakes) the more of a reaction I have if I get glutened. I'll get gassy, or a stomach ache, or have to make frequent trips to the bathroom (though I'm still not getting the big D)... I never noticed any of this before my biopsy... I would just make sure you read lables and things and find some trusted brands and start making a list... Everyone here has been really really helpful, too.

That is so funny --- my whole family reports the same thing and the doctor says it "shouldn't be."

What does that even mean, it "shouldn't be?" They say it's so, it's so. Maybe it's an odd reaction, but they aren't hallucinating. java script:emoticon(':huh:',%20'smid_8') Doctors.

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
