Well I had my follow up appt. this morning with my gi. I wanted to see my lab results, so he showed me the antibody results from my bloodwork, and the pics of my intestine, YUCK> In comparison to pics of a normal small intestine, mine looked all cracked, with alot of what they call "scalloping". The sucky news is my liver enzymes are still high, so I had to go get poked again, which I hate, and they are doing an ultrasound of my liver Oct. 12th. Hopefully everything turns out okay, will this madness ever end, I am sick of being tested. I can see why he wants to, my liver isn't acting normal, but that doesn't make my desire for testing any more peachy. Okay, I'm done whining now...have a great weekend everyone!!! :D:D:P

Well, the good thing about you looking at the pics of your intestine is, that it's easier to accept when you've seen it with your own eyes. You now know how bad it looks, and will want to fix it.

I am sorry about your liver not functioning right, I hope something can be done about it, and your doctor can figure out exactly what the problem is.

I hope you feel better soon!

      Thank you and I am aware that I should be eating a "normal" diet until tested it's kind of been trial and error for my diet or more like just ERROR! I about 1-3 bites a meal I'm to a point that 99 percent of the time I'm having trouble swallowing just about everything occasionally I find either something or a very small window of time that allows me to get very little of something! I am basically getting zero nutrition what so ever because I take one bite of the meal that I usually just slaved over just to end up tossing it when it's all said and done...did anyone else ever experience anything like this?  I am more then open to suggestions! It is taking a very extreme toll on me and my body forsure

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.
