Does anybody have this problem???? I have been eating gluten, wheat, soy and chocolate free for 2 weeks now and I have not been tested yet...I go back to my gastro guy Wed. to do a follow up and be referred to a specialist. Anyway, I go along for a couple days feeling fine then all of a sudden I eat a safe food and I feel sick, body ache, etc. Then it takes a day or two to get back to normal......I assume it just takes a while to get out of your system????? HELP!

Are you sure the food is safe and not contaminated in any way? If it was peanut butter, did anyone else use the pb on bread? Same with mayo? Did you eat out -- that's a common source of contamination? Was the food processed? Some aren't from dedicated facilites. Was there any chance of hidden gluten? Soy sauce? Does your makeup have gluten in it?

I would suspect since you've been off it for such a short time that there's some gluten hidden somewhere. It's pretty insidious and difficult to get rid of!

I'll try this again.........lighning storm about.

You are not healed. Even though you have been gluten free, the damage is done and it will take some time to heal. If you continue on the gluten free diet (including, lotions, shampoos, lipstick, cosmetics, any potentioal oral injestion), you will gradually feel better.

The healing process will take some time and you need to be patient and diligent. It will come.

If you have concerns over certain products, please ask here.

Doctors are now just learning about how prevelent Celiac is, but you have come to the experts. Please read, read and read somemore, here. This is the best source there is.

Please post if you have questions, that's why we are here. Experience is Knowledge.

I saw your other post,...lots of Lisa's here.

If you are going to see a specialist, do NOT go gluten free. I am sure that this will cause you alot of discomfort. In order for you to have an accurate testing, you MUST remain on gluten. If not, the result will not be accurate.

On the other route, you could become gluten free and see how you feel and if you feel better after a period of time...well, there is you answer. Others will post by morning.

Take care and I hope you feel better. Lisa

My symptoms have been dianosed as so many other things...acid reflux, gall bladder.....then they did all the test, put me on medication and still nothing.....I get very sick to my stomach and then I ache all over and sometimes pass out......it was causing me to not be able to live my life. I even had to cancel a trip to Africa this year because I did not know what was going on with me...so I decided to try the wheat gluten free thing and then ate something that made me sick and found out it had soy it, so I ate soy again a couple days later and got sick again, so I knocked that item out as well and chocolate. Even if the test don't show allergies to foods, I am still going to continue because it seems strange that I only get really sick when I eat certain things. Within 5 or 10 minutes of eating an item, I get sick. Then it takes a day or two to recover. Thanks!

If this isn't a typo:

Why blame the safe food - I would think that the 'safe food' is pretty irrelevant in this. You have been eating gluten and it has built up, if you were gluten-free before then it takes a certain amount of time for the damage to build up and start some of the peripheral symptoms. (I feel sick, body ache, etc. )

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
