What does indigestion feel like? Where does it hurt? Trying to figure out if that is my problem?

Thanks Melanie

Well, I think you'll get better responses if you describe how you feel rather than picking an ailment and asking what the symptoms are.

That said, indigestion is when food is not being digested, so this can mean heartburn, upset stomach, slowed progression of food through your system, etc.

I had heartburn often, acid refulx now and then, and occasional gastritis. It was confusing because I couldn't always tell what would set it off, but I did know that I couldn't eat very much raw vegetables or my stomach would hurt.

After about two months gluten-free (and corn-free) all my stomach problems disappeared.

I used to get really bad acid stomach and sharp pains in my stomach and intestines. That stopped when I went gluten free. The symptoms come back when I accidentally get some gluten.

      Should I ask for more testing? Celiac vs. Gluten Sensitivity

      You really saved me as I was on day 4 of 3 g per day for 6 weeks. Thank you very much!

      Two weeks is the minimum according to the guideline. I would go for four weeks if you can endure it, just to make sure.

      Thank you so much! So I can do 10 g worth of gluten in the form of gluten powder per day for two weeks and that should be enough?

      It applies to both blood tests and biopsies. Guidelines for the gluten challenge have been revised for the very issue your question raises. It was felt by medical professionals that the longer term but less intense consumption of gluten approach was not proving to be reliable for testing purposes and was resulting in too many false negatives. But do keep in mind that the gluten consumption doesn't have to be in the form of bread slices. It can come in any form: pasta, cake, wraps, etc. Another approach would be to buy gluten powder at a health food store and mix it in a shake. The idea is to get at least 10g of gluten daily, whatever form it comes in.

      Hey there, You mentioned that current guidelines recommend to eat the equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread for several weeks. Is it ok to do less for a longer period of time, for example 2 slices for 6 weeks? Also, does this recommendation apply to blood tests as well as the biopsy, or do they each have different timelines? Thanks in advance!
