Intolerant To Wheat?

Hello,

I've been having symptoms since 2/08, I've been tested for parasites, I've been told I have a virus (for 6 months, yeah right) I've been tested for Celiac and it's negative, I've had all allergy test done, all negative. I stopped eating wheat and symptoms went away but they started again 4 days ago. How do I find out if I'm intolerant to gluten? If all my allergy test came back negative should I stop eating dairy, eggs, and anything that contains gluten? I was eating oats and rye before and that was fine but I'm not sure what happened.

I don't have symptoms right away, it's the next day that I have to run to the bathroom at least 6 times during the day but it goes away at night, I've never woken up because of it. I don't have stomach pain just gas and diarrhea.

Here is my diet for yesterday.

1 cup of unsweetend soy milk.

2 tablespoons of flax seeds

1/2 cup of blueberry's

1 scoop of whey protein (brand is Designerwhey)

Lunch was Arroz con Pollo (chicken rice, home made I know there is not gluten in this, I'm Puerto Rican)

A hand full of baked veggie crisps from Flat Earth

A hand full of M&M's

Tostitos with organic salsa typical ingredients

1 glass of Sauvignon blanc

home made grilled chicken and potatoes

Mayo and Ketchup (i mix them for my potatoes)

and A beer La Rossa Birra Moretti (went on line and say that it did not contain gluten)

I'm afraid to go to friends houses or to eat outside my house. I'm getting depressed and I don't know what to do.

I love to eat, bake and I love to cook.

If anyone has any answers please let me know.

Sad in Hawaii

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By trents · Posted

      How long have you been strictly gluten free? Certainly, it would be good to look into vitamin and mineral deficiencies and supplementation. The B vitamins, magnesium and D3 are all very important to neurological health. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to reverse gluten-induced neurological damage damage if it has gone on for a long time.

      Thanks Trents I'm strict with my gluten-free diet now. I just don't feel any better. I'm going to get tested for vitamins and minerals to see if I need some supplements. For sure I got some damage that doctors call Menier's and the only way they treat it is with medicine that does damage my body more than it helps.

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really insightful observation about antibody testing and the gluten challenge! You’re absolutely right that antibody levels can remain elevated for months or even years after going gluten-free, especially if there’s ongoing cross-contamination or occasional slip-ups. The immune system doesn’t reset overnight—it can take time for antibodies like tTG-IgA to normalize, which is why many doctors recommend waiting at least 6–12 months of strict gluten-free eating before retesting. For someone who’s been gluten-free for less than two years or hasn’t been meticulous about avoiding cross-contact, there’s absolutely a chance they’d still test positive, since even small...

      Chest pain from celiac

      Thank you for your response! I have considered starting a food diary in the past, I suppose this is as good a time as any to start.
