Unexpected Benefit Of Going gluten-free


Nancym

Recommended Posts

Before I went gluten free I was ready to rip out and replace all the toilets in my house with ones that could handle disposing of more... waste without plugging. I've been gluten-free/CF for nearly a year now. I totally forgot about my issue with the toilets until my sister came over and left me with a clogged toilet. Then I realized I wasn't unclogging the toilet every time I used it!

Yes this has been my experience also!

Another surprising benefit for me has been the almost 100% elimination of my fatigue problem and my, as a result, subsequent, non-need to say to everyone I met "I am tired". I no longer say that phrase and it is been such a relief! I only started noticing this recently. It is great

The list is endless.

I was starting to get a little bit impatient with my work colleagues and family (and I have always thought I was an easy going person) before I was diagnosed. And a few things were beginning to get on top of me.

Now I don't seem to get annoyed with colleagues and we have a happeir work enviroment.

Still have to work on the homelife. I think all I need to do now, is teach the teenage sons how to tidy up after themselves. I think this will be a long, hard job.

      I agree with @trents, they should have run a total IgA.  What was the normal range for the DGP IgA test?  Different labs use different units thus have different normal ranges.

      Thanks for your assistance.

      Get your total IGA checked to make sure your celiac antibody test scores are trustworthy.

      I do eat 4 slices of wheat bread with almond butter. Yes it was a reference to my iron consumption. 
    • trents
      To give you a frame of reference for pretesting gluten consumption necessary to ensure valid antibody testing, here is the current recommendation for those who have been on a gluten free diet: The daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks. Not sure why you mentioned eggs and chicken. They are not sources of gluten. Was that in reference to dietary iron consumption?
