Can't you explain to your friends, that even though you ate bread before, you shouldn't have, that you just didn't know it? That eating bread makes you sick! And now that you know what makes you feel bad, wouldn't they want you to feel better too, by avoiding what is poison for you?

I really don't understand why some people don't believe us. Your friends are supposed to care about you! Some of my family isn't very understanding, but fortunately my friends care a lot, and believe me. I guess it sucks when they don't.

I hope you'll either convince your friends soon, or make new ones who believe you, and want what's best for you.

Yeah it can be tough. Some people don't believe me either. People are weird :P If someone gets diagnosed with diabetes, and they suddenly can't eat sugar, nobody's going to tell them they should eat sugar now just becasue they did before. Tell your friends it's kinda like that. You should also make them some really yummy gluten-free cupcakes or brownies, so they can see that your food is good and not really that weird or different.

Welcome to the boards!

Well, can't help you with finding folks in Utah, but, let's discuss your friend issue. Personally, if that was me, I would mostly likely reply, "Well, I guess you don't have a headache because you weren't hurting before. Or, guess you don't have asthma because you could breathe just fine before" But, it would probably be good to take it on a nicer note :) Anyway, it's important that people you come in contact understand you can't consume gluten and that it is very harmful to you. Maybe your parents can convince them? Hope whatever best for you works out. =)

If you need anything, give me a PM!

Last summer I worked in Utah for my uncle, who gives tours through the Escelante Canyon area, and I started having gluten problems out there. It took me about half a year to figure out what it was, and I turned into a stick! Utah is great, and I am sorry you're having friend problems. Losers. It isn't that hard to understand. Wish I could eat lunch with you! It is so hard to eat lunch watching everyone eat lasagna and pasta and ketchup..... :(

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results. Thank you

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to...

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes...

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.

I started more wheat products as my Dr. requested for the Tissue Transglutaminase Iga Antibody. mye result Value <1.0 Value interpretation: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or =15.0 Antibody detected I do not understand any of it. After eating all that wheat product my body exploded with all sorts of symptoms. I stop gluten ASAP. I am still in the healing process. I started having issues after my surgery.
