I have been gluten free for months and feeling better. Last Friday, eating at friends' home I got gluten. I have been ill all week. Really uncomfortable, sad, and angry. Missed work. Basically a very bad week. Today I was feeling better, looking forward to going back to work, plans for the weekend, really happy that I was feeling better. I fixed myself a healthy meal for lunch (this is not something I usually do, so I was very proud of myself for taking such good care of my body), but I realized too late that I grabbed my daughter's regular macaroni instead of my rice macaroni.

So, now what? I don't think I can handle another week of this. I'm so sad and mad and angry at myself. I hate this disease. I hate this body. I can't stop crying. What do I do now? Is there anything that can minimize the problems?

It sucks what we naturally do b/c that was what we've always done in the past!!!! I have done similar things myself! My son doesn't always like to use a napkin and he got twinkie(very rare treat!) on his finger...ofcourse I licked it off and kicked myself later when I was in the potty!

I don't know of anything to make it better...just offering support and a shoulder to lean on!!!! I hope you feel better soon!

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
