I've done 2 blood tests and both were negative. I've been gluten-free since May 01, and I've gone from 196 lbs to 175 in a little over a month with very little change to my lifestyle except the exclusion of gluten. Bloating and diarrhea have both been gone for weeks.

My Enterolab results were just posted.

So should I take this as a guaranteed confirmation?

No, take it as an indicator of what MIGHT be going on with you.

Take your dietary response as the guaranteed confirmation. ;)

Are you going dairy free too? Looks like you've got a pretty strong positive on dairy.

I love dairy. Going gluten free without the alternative of dairy consumption is difficult because there's an entire gluten free food group that is void.

I really don't notice any adverse reaction to most dairy products such as cheese, yogurt, and products with milk byproducts such as salad dressings. I don't drink milk though, or if I eat ice cream I do it in moderation.

Hi Wooly,

I know how you feel... I'm casein free as well as gluten-free starting just this past Tuesday. I feel like I can't eat ANYTHING and it's hard to get used to it.

BUT!!!!

I have had some surprising good health events after going off casein. My skin is clearing up. I have had two strong courses of accutane in my adulthood, neither of which produced permanent results. After several days off casein, my skin oil levels are noticeably lower and my lesion count is down considerably.

Not to say that you have casein related skin problems; that's probably individual to me. But if you're having an IgA reaction to casein, something is probably going on with you, too. Just a thought.

Your mileage may vary. ;)

Zarf,

Thanks for the post regarding Accutane, I had one round of it and it really cleared up my face, but not my back. I refused to go back on it as it dried up my lips, mouth and it caused my grades in college to drop. THis was many years ago and maybe it is from being casiein sensitive.

Yeah, accutane is a witch!! I always looked beautiful on accutane (except for my lips, of course!!) but neither treatment "stuck." My skin is just mega-oily. But casein has made a difference for me. It couldn't hurt to try. :-)

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
