Gosh, I Think I"m Reacting To Gluten Myself

I've had more D this past month than I've had in a long long time. It did start when I started cooking gluten free for my dh and kids. At first I'm sure I went totally gluten free...I was eating what my dh was eating but then I was craving things so while he's at work I started eating the things I"ve always been eating. Then the D started here and there. Last thursday I had it really really bad but didn't feel sick...I just went to the bathroom 20 times in a matter of a couple hours. Well, it's happening again this evening. Ugh...

So question is...if you aren't consuming a lot of gluten...just sporatically...but before that you had gluten with every meal...I wonder if a person with an underlying issue with gluten would start to show those signs of having an intolerance of some sort to gluten after going free and then just having gluten sporatically. Hmmm.....

I was joking with my husband that him going gluten free is making me sick. I was joking about it at the beginning of January...because I thought it was just a coincidence. Now ...I'm not really thinking this is a coincidence at all.

If you reduce your gluten intake, it is common for you to become more sensitive. Try cutting it out completely for a while. If you feel better, you may want to consider trying a gluten challenge where you reintroduce it to your diet. If you get sick again then you know the answer.

Absolutely! It happened to my husband. Now when he eats gluten he gets diarrhea, reflux and bad stomach pains.

This is the very reason I joined this forum. I have never shown any signs of gluten intolerance, but have adopted the gluten-free diet with my husband who is intolerant. He feels much better and I feel worse than ever. I can't decide if it's having trace amounts of gluten in my diet or the gluten-free baked goods. I have tried a few baked items and I feel really bad around those times. It may be a coincidence. Has anyone had a similar experience?

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      The DGP-IGA is valuable when celiac is suspected but the person being tested is IGA deficient. Were you tested for IGA deficiency. In other words, was there a test known as "Total IGA" ordered? Here is an overview of the various blood tests that can be run when diagnosing celiac disease:

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By Kmd2024 · Posted

      Has anyone ever negative blood work except for the DPG-IGA? Mine was 42 (reference range negative is >20. The TTG iga was negative. I have always suffered from bad gas issues and lately have been having bouts of diarrhea and constipation. I also have a bumpy rash that comes and goes below both elbows. i have an endoscopy scheduled in May but I was just wondering if anyone else had bloodwork like this and what was the end result?

      Welcome to he forum community, @DjinnDjab! You wrote: "i just found out i may have celiac. so needless to say i no longer have friends or relationships." Are you saying that the need to eat gluten free has resulted in losing all your friends and your entire social life?

      By DjinnDjab · Posted

      i am a 37 yo male and this describes me perfectly. on a scale of 1-10, i am at 8. 9. 10, 11 for 8-12 hours a day, 6-7 days a week. this has been going on for about 5 years and i just found out i may have celiac. so needless to say i no longer have friends or relationships so i spend a lot of time with myself. and uhhh what really sucks is uhh, sorry to say, "enjoying myself" is a trigger for this pain. i can be fine all day until i take 5 mins to "myself" and then its all downhill from there. this has robbed me of every.single.thing in my once colorful life.
