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,

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By amantelchi · Posted

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
