Hi all good morning from sunny south Florida.

I have some questions.

Can one become more sensitive to gluten whe you are not ingesting it?

Can you body reacts strongly to it? once you are off of it.

Many thanks have a great day

That is how my gluten intolerance progressed. Actually, all my intolerances progressed and the longer I was off, either the more sensitive I became or the more I noticed small amounts. I am not sure which it is but it sure seems like I am more sensitive.

I have only been gluten-free for 8 weeks but I am more sensitive to several things now, dairy and some brands of corn products. Looks like your sensitivity goes up a notch after you leave the poison out of your diet.

Hi.

I do not vomit that easily. Now 5-8 minutes after I accidently take any gluten I start to vomit my life out. Then it stops after everything is out of my system.

I guess this is another give from Celiac.

Best regards

Yes! I am so much more sensitive to small amounts of gluten as time goes on. By small amount, I mean cross contamination.

It didn't take long for this to happen after I went gluten-free--I think as soon as I really got all of the gluten out, my immune system took a deep breath and started going after it with a vengence! :D

Actually, before I was diagnosed, I was just plain sick all of the time. It was just some days were better than others. When the offending protein was removed, and I began to slowly have more good days than bad, the symptoms became much easier to define.

As the body heals and becomes healthy a tiny amount of gluten can cause a reaction that in the past may not have been experienced. The longer people are gluten free, the more small amounts of gluten can affect them. That is why cross-contamination is an issue.

I think (and this was just my experience) that I feel sicker now because I'm not sick all the time, my body is not used to feeling this way. Before I went gluten free I was sick nearly every day, and I think I got used to it. Because when I started a gluten free diet, I was shocked at being okay by late afternoon, not in pain or queasy or gassy, etc.

Does that make sense?

The same thing happened to me after about 2 weeks being gluten free. I guess it's your body telling you it doesn't like it.

It makes perfect sense. There are days I feel much better. others that I'm very tired. I am taking the multi vitamins twice a day. :rolleyes:

Maybe this helps explain why I feel more sick now than prior to going gluten-free.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      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.

      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?
