Hello everyone. I am a little down tonigh. I had a couple of good days near the end of this past week. I even had an appetite for the first timein months. That all ended yesterday (Sunday) morning. I had diarrhea when I woke up and I have pretty much had it since. It's MOnday nioght now and I keep getting struck with diarrhea. The only good part is that I am not in a lot of pain with it (while going or after going), but the need to go when I get hit has been extremely urgent. I have had some close calls! :(

Walter,

Sorry to hear you have been under the weather. "D" is never fun. I know I have had some close calls too, some too close for comfort. Hope you are feeling better.

That's great that you've had some good days. I'm sorry you've gotten hit with something again. Those close calls are horrible.

Dear Walter,

I can relate to the close calls, too. I had one of those the other day. :( Have you tried taking anything for it? Ammodium AD is mentioned frequently on here. I hope you can start having more good days, soon.

Sincerely,

Hi Walter, sorry you are not feeling good.

I can relate to that also. Can you take any mediction for the D, and you tolerate rice or apples or bananas, this is what the doctor tell us to give to the kids.

I hope you feel better, hang in there. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Best regards to you.

I'm sorry to hear you don't get that many good days. Its taking me about two years now to figure out its just not gluten that bothers me. I remember reading one of your posts where you got sick and thinking its got to be something other then gluten since you seem to be so careful.

Hope you feel better soon. Maybe eat those same foods you ate during those two good food days again to see if you get the same results and add other foods alittle at a time and record the results.

Thanks everyone. I'm doing a little better. There have been a couple days here and there when my appetite is back and I am hungry- that hasn't happened in ages. On those days I eat a little bit more. Not a ton of food, just a little more, and I tend to get very bloated and sick forn that tiny bit of extra food. It's annoyinh, I just have to stick to small bland portions still if I want to function. I'll be taking my class on a field trip on June 11th. I have absolutley NO IDEA what to do about bathroom stuff on that day! I may not eat the night before or the day of! Any suggestions to help with that?

Walter:

Do a food journal, you're a teacher it should not be an issue.

Get one of those ugly composition books and do a daily journal. One page do breakfast, lunch and dinner...snacks included. Every page is a daily entry.

That is the best I know..to help you get to the root of your issues.

See what happens.

Dear Walter,

I would definitely go with the others' suggestions here. Ammodium would be a good insurance policy against the runs. Plus, as bluejeangirl and Momma Goose mentioned, a food journal would be a smart move. You can do a rotation diet to see what you react badly to. Then, you can eliminate what you cannot tolerate. Sometimes, when we eat foods with a lot of ingredients, we have no idea what our system is reacting to. That complicates matters quite a bit.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

      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.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      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?
