My Little Experiment

Got fed up of doctors messing me about. Does she or doesn't she have celiacs so I decided to conduct a little experiment. Been gluten free for 3 month . Had a bread role at lunch time and within 2 hours my bowels exploded. Won't go into details but it wasn't nice. So much for blood tests. Will stick to gluten free dispite what doctors say!!!!

Can't get much more definitive that that! Even though I am one of those who has the confirmed bloodwork/biopsy diagnosis, I have come to the realization that the conventional testing for celiac is letting a whole society down - half of the world is gluten intolerant and no test yet shows that..... <_<

Dear Jenny1972,

Yep, I know what you are sayin'! I had negative blood work and biopsies done several years ago. It turn out, I am a Celiac! I have a very violent reaction. I can take up to twelve hours to react, but when it hits, it is bad! I have been gluten free for more than six months now. I have been glutened a lot lately though due to my parents' carelessness. They just think I am being a hypochondriac. They are not taking this illness as seriously as they should.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

Felt really rough all weekend with pains in my legs and ankles and sooo tired today. Any idea how long it takes to get unglutened? Experiment was a good idea at the time but one I won't be repeating in a hurry.

Jenny, I am sorry you are still feeling bad. Unfortunately, it can take up to two weeks to feel better. I hope it will be a lot less for you.

Still, it was a good idea to try gluten, because now you know that you are definitely intolerant to it, forget about ignorant doctors.

Dear Jenny1972,

Some people it takes longer than others to recover. At least now you know how sensitive you are so you will not be eager to cheat. I take anywhere between two days to a week to feel better. It varies. I have a violent reaction, too. So, even a microscopic amount makes me terribly sick. Luckily, I have promethazine on hand in case I need it. I hope you recover quickly!

Sincerely,

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      No I haven't had one since 2021. I rarely have more than 1 per week.

      Sorry, I see that now as I reread your original post. You say you have hemorrhoids "only once a week" now. When I develop hemorrhoids, which is once every few years now, it generally takes 3-4 days for healing to take place. So, it doesn't seem like you could have much relief time between episodes if you have them weekly. Have you had a lower GI scoping done...

      Everyday I eat a medium to large apple in the morning and a large banana at night. I eat a cup of oatmeal in the evening. The ezekiel wheat bread I eat has a good amount of fiber. I haven't dealt with constipation for at least a year. Most of the time my feces are soft.
