Oh, I am so sorry! I'm thinking of showing this to my DH...you are describing how I feel when I have gluten. I'm only 4-5 weeks into starting the gluten-free diet, and I'm still learning (and reacting to a few things). But I felt this way for years without understanding why. I kept buying the line that all moms (of three kids) feel tired...well, now I know that people who said that had no idea how tired I really felt. It was NOT normal. Comments like that kept me from looking for help, really.

How long do you have to do your challenge? Good luck! I'm afraid my GI will ask me to do a challenge. I went gluten-free after a positive blood test. The GI appointment is still a couple of weeks away, and I can't start back on gluten now since I'm nursing a baby who also seems sensitive to gluten (bleeding eczema sensitive, and it's clearing more each week that I'm off the stuff). If he wants a challenge, it's going to have to wait until this summer.

Sorry you're feeling so poorly. I hope you accomplish your objective (presumably a formal diagnosis).

i see my doc at the end of the month, he wanted me to go off gluten/wheat for 2 months and then try again for a couple of weeks and see how i feel. my blood work was negetive (after 2 weeks of being on the diet) he is curios to see if its a wheat allergy or accuall celiacs, ive had some hot flashes and now im feeling more constipated then anything, im about to eat my breakfast, cornflakes so we'll se how that goes. yes i blame being tired and stupid on having 4 kids to hang out with all day! :lol:

Be careful, keep well hydrated and if at any time you feel really sick, call your doctor right away.

I am particularly sensitive and ended up in the ER day 5 of mine.

well im wondering about the lag time for some people, im on day 3 and not feeling as awful as i had thought i would, i was very sick until feb when i cut the gluten out, what is the lag time for some people, im wondering now if its not celiac's just some senstitivities, and the fact that soy is in everything is not helping, im avoiding soy as best i can for the challenge. how long has it taken for some people to get sick again i was only gluten-free for 2 months? thanks.

For me when I did the Dr assisted elimination diet it took 4 days for the D to set in. He told me when we started that I should only add a food every 5 days. He said when the problem is an intolerance it can take up to 5 days for the reaction to hit the gut.

It does sound like you are definately reacting though. Remember that it is not just a 'gut' disease, it also effects the rest of the body. The antibodies are in the bloodstream and effecting the brain and even for some of us the joints muscles and other organs.

Do call your doctor and let him know what is going on.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.
