Wow...

Well YAY and HAPPY DANCE to the healing, and

*sniffle* to the getting rid of Yeast and soy. (I'm still mourning the soy myself...)

I'm thrilled for you that your intestines appear to be getting better. Now imagine how much better they'll be soy and yeast free. :)

(All I can say is Enjoy Life chocolate chips. Those suckers are saving my life... ;) )

Matilda,

How exciting for you! Have you noticed a weight gain now that you are absorbing better?

Funny that you posted this today...I was wondering about it and was gonna pm you to see if you'd gotten the resuklts.

Bummer about the yeast and soy though. :(

I was neg. for everything but gluten....when I tested for yeast and egg they didnt have soy or I would've ordered that one too. Did they just recently start testing soy? :unsure:

Anyways, I cant have yeast or eggs anyway but its definately not IgA. The eggs is a sulfur thing....dont know about yeast...I just dont eat it.

I wonder what my malabsorption score would say now....I've gained 15 lbs. back since my first test. I'm also maintaining my weight instead of going back and forth like I used to. My first score was 912...I'm betting if I tested today it would be in the normal range or close to it. :)

I dont think in my case I've healed though. I think I just learned which foods to avoid because my body cant process them for whatever reason....stopping all supplements also helped tremdously....thats actually when I really started to gain some weight.

If I had the money I would experiment. Do a test now that I'm not losing weight and having normal stools...then eat some of the foods I dont do well with (avocado, yams, oils, eggs, etc) for a week or two. If I did this I would lose weight and have loose stools. I wonder if there would be a significant change in the results?? :huh:

If I didnt have a gazzillion other things to pay for right now I'd do it....for the sake of scientifness and to end my own curiosity. :rolleyes:

Congrats and keep up the good work! :D

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies.  Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Thank you so much for your response  Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on.  I'm not eating gluten as far as I know.  However, I'm not sure of cross contamination.  My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ???  if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease.. Neuropathy from head to toes

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
