Aargh, Again

[miles2go]

After a year of gluten-free and two weeks of eating gluten for a dh biopsy, I'm back to square one with the symptoms. Am I going to have to wait another year to feel better? Am I eating too much fiber?

Ack...

I will cook all veggies. I will do something...better...?

No, your body will heal a little faster this time. You're not all the way back to square one. I don't quite understand why you had to reintroduce gluten - it's poison to our bodies. Anyhow, You might try L-glutamine - it promotes intestinal health - it makes my accidental glutenings a little easier to bear physically.

Still can't find anything that eliminates the dreaded brain fog.

I don't understand why you're having to do a gluten challenge either. Our GI said there is no point in doing that anymore - really quite sadistic IMO. He said doctors used to do that but don't anymore and that if going gluten free helped, there's nothing more to prove or do.

Sorry you're going through this. How long do you have do undergo this hell?

I am gluten free again...I had the biopsy last week. I was originally dx'd with wheat allergy and my bloodwork came back negative, probably because I hadn't been eating much gluten at all for about 8 years. Any doubt that I had previously about staying away from all gluten has been removed and it was my own stupidity that told me to eat gluten for a while. But hey, I'm that much smarter now! :rollseyes:

Thanks, Annette and Mart, good to know that I might be back on track soon, and if not, I'll definitely check out the L-glutamine.
