Glutened At The Gi?

olalisa Contributor

Hello everyone. I'm wondering if y'all might know the answer to my question. I had to go in Friday for a urea breath test at the GI doc for H-Pylori. I had to take a little yellow capsule for the test, and (I don't know what came over me--this is HIGHLY uncharacteristic of me) I didn't ask what was in the capsule, and specifically if it contained any gluten. I didn't even THINK about it. Well, within 30 minutes, my stomach was killing me. That subsided after a while, but for the next two days I have felt glutened! I've had the fatigue, headache, rumbly tummy, and this morning a great big ulcer in the back of my throat. Does anyone know if this capsule has gluten? I think I'm gonna call them in the morning but my curiosity is killing me...along with my head. OY!

It sure sounds like you have been glutened. Have you added anything new other than taking the pill? Any new lotions or shampoos or toothpastes? Have you inhaled anything like drywall dust? Anything different other than this pill? Please do let us know what the doctor says but I would also get my hands on the 'sheet' from the company and call them directly. Never trust your doctor to know whether something they give you is gluten-free. Most have no idea and calling the maker and a pharmacist is always a must do unfortunately.

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.
