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!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

      The Happy Tart review

      Absolutely my point with Kerrigan, the owner. She stood to secure many years of faithful patronage by simply inviting us in for a pastry or lunch. Or by simply producing another $50 e-card based on trust. We would have been highly satisfied. We are limited to a few restaurants in the area, and that would have been one. It was very disappointing, esp to my...

      You would think any business would see the wisdom of honoring a $50 gift certificate on the basis of customer satisfaction alone, apart from any questions about software glitches.

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
