Unexpected Benefit Of Going gluten-free

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.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Violent reaction to gluten after going gluten-free?

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
