I Can't Believe This!

Hey everyone,

I am so thrilled at how I've felt today. My head felt clear and I've had energy all day. Only felt a little funny after eating a mini Almond Joy. I am so hoping that this will last. Only been gluten free since Wednesday, but did so right after my colonoscopy/endoscopy. Also started taking a multivitamin and calcium/magnesium supplement and juicing with fresh veggies and fruit every day.

Is this normal? Anyone else have this reaction after going gluten-free?

I was similar when I went gluten-free(May). The only times I feel yucky are when I get CC'd. But for teh most part feel TONS better than before!

Yes, I have also eliminated casein (dairy) and, oh yeah, alcohol. I notice that it takes a couple of days to get the casein and gluten out of my system, alcohol takes a week and a half. I have been juicing to: 1/2 a dozen ice cubes, banana, assorted fruits and whammo ready to go!

I had a similar experience with feeling much better after going gluten-free. I have been so for about 3 weeks and have some continuing symptoms of bloating/indigestion/reaction to fats - something that makes the gut feel very full and painful. Big appetite and pleasuer from eating again vs. always feling bad about eating...I am waiting for my blood tests to see about anti-body confirmation. I understand that the degree of damage to the gut can affect the recovery rate and that some people experience continuing symptoms....? I have insomnia issues and do not feel 100%, although the difference in how I feel is very rncouraging. How does one find out what one needs in terms of diet practices, vitamins, etc. that may aid the recovery? I have fatty liver and need to lose weight. The improvement in mood, irritability, and inflammatory symptoms in joints is very encouraging. I hope that it is not just a "placebo effect" and that it is all in my mind.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
