uhg today is day seven just in time for easter dinner, im italian and going to eat pasta, but oh is my tummy sore today! we went out for italian last night and drank beer, a glutteny of gluten.

overall my challenge didnt turnout quite like i expected, i found more neurological stuff like headaches and brain fog, i have had a headache for a week now, and some days im sooooo tired and stupid feeling. my bowel movements have been about 4-5 a day, some worse then others, but man that smell is back. sore tummy off and on, some nausea. hives and swelling have been a problem as allmost everything with gluten in it also has soy. we will see what today brings, i just want my tummy to feel better before company gets here, would love any feedback on gluten challenges from everyone here!

have a great easter everyone!!

what is the seven day challenge for? seven days isn't long enough for antibodies to show up on a blood test or for damage to show up on a biopsy. so if it's just to see if you react to gluten, you've already done that, and you can cut the experiment short... (I'm a bit confused by the process here...)

Your challenge has been positive for a problem. Are you going for an endo tommorrow? Is there some reason why you are going for one more day even though the challenge was positive? I was diagnosed by an allergist through an elimination diet. Although he told me to add stuff in at one week increments I was in day four when my reaction started. I called him and he had me stop the challenge immediately.

my doc had me go on the gluten-free diet for 2 months, unfortunately when he ran the blood work i was on the diet for 2 weeks and got a negative result. he wanted me to then put gluten/wheat back in for a week and see how i felt, ive documented everything on a spread sheet, and then go back on the gluten-free to see the difference. i see him at the end of this month and i will have all the info from this week and over the next couple of weeks to see the differences. im truly looking foward to eating hot rice cereal for breakfast tomorow and some rice bread toast w/butter!

just wondering if anyone else ever did this and how they felt, thanks for your replies

im back a few hours later after eating my easter dinner (a glutteny of gluten of course) oh my god! did not stay in long! and my guts are rumbling and my stomach is sooooo sore i can barely eat. im soooo glad to be done this tomorow and im keeping anul records of everything for the doc!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Is it gluten?

      @par18, no, Scott's use of the term "false negative" is intentional and appropriate. The "total IGA" test is not a test used to diagnose celiac disease per se. The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the...

      yes i do take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the spectrum of components making it up will likely be also, including the celiac disease response spectrum. In other words, IGA deficiency may produce a tTG-IGA score that is negative that might have been positive had there not been IGA deficiency. So, the tTG-IGA negative score may be "false", i.e, inaccurate, aka, not to be trusted.
