Wow, I just started it last week. I just went up to two packs. I know the first few days I felt a little nauseous, but other than that pretty good. I have heard it can cause you to feel fluey, headachy, nauseous, tired etc. It is important to start slow, working up from one packet to start. Drink lots of water and take a fiber supplement to help you with elimination. Are you doing the candida diet with it? I am just cutting sugar. I eat very healthy overall. Let me know how you are doing, and I will keep you posted as well.

I actually felt a little better mentally today, but for some reason my arms and legs feel really tired, and a little tingly. I have had some bloating also. It has only been 3 days, so well see. How are you doing. Dis you have tingly tired limbs like me?

No, just a bit of nausea here and there. I think I have been feeling a little more clear headed as well. I am feeling tired today, but it is hard to tell, because I have days like that anyway. Are you following the diet or just doing Threelac? I already avoid sugar and yeast. (I do have organic ice cream once a week). No yeast and maybe a few pears a week. I actually feel the worst if I eat a starchy grain like white rice, or corn. I have noticed in addition to some fleeting nausea, being very hungry the past few days. Are you taking fiber supplement and drinking lots of water? How many packs are you taking??

I did not take threelac, but did a diet with absolutely no sugar, including fruit. It was tough. The hardest part, though, was by about the end of the first week (was aiming for three weeks, then adding back fruit), I could barely walk up my own driveway. I was physically so tired I couldn't do anything but get out of bed and move to a chair. This doesn't work in my house where my dog demands a bit more attention than that. So I had an almond shake -- so this was two weeks into it maybe. I could feel myself getting better as I swallowed.

I need to do the damned thing again because I've been having a lot of bloating and have accidentally gotten into the sugar again in black tea (used to drink green tea which I don't like sugar in). This time, though, I'll go more slowly - take a month and eat some low glycemic fruits.

Take care and good luck.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
