I didn't think I was very sensitive until I was truly gluten free for about 4 months, and then had some rotisserie chicken from sam's club that I 'thought' had never been a problem before.

Sam's Club's rotisserie chicken used to be gluten-free--they changed suppliers (at least, they did here in PA) to one who uses soy sauce in the marinade. So you weren't imagining things!

Last time I checked, Costco's rotisserie chicken was gluten-free, and they had LOTS of other great gluten-free items, including Trident brand salmon burgers that ARE gluten-free! (In the freezer section)

Your pasta recipe sounds yummy!

I'm still here...and I'm fine, after having a Chicken Filet Biscuit from Chick-fil-a this morning at 10:30. I have to say I'm a little ticked off. All I had was a moderate belly ache for a couple hours. No gurgling, bloating, nadda...nothing.

Maybe I'm one of those that it takes a while to hit.

Maybe I'm a Silent Celiac.

How am I EVER gonna know if I'm glutened or not? Does that mean all the stuff I THOUGHT had glutened me in the past few weeks was really a fluke? I mean, if a BISCUIT doesn't do it, some trace amount from CC isn't going to do it! But all the while...this stuff is wearing down my small intestine and makes antibodies against other parts of me and attacks them too...leaves me prone to cancer if left untreated.

I didn't want to have some horrible reaction, but I sure expected more than this. I'm.really.frustrated.

One of the frustrating things about intolerances rather than true allergies is the possiblility of delayed reaction. Different folks react in different lengths of time and some of us can have a predictable 'progression' of symptoms that we learn to recognize. You may see a more of a reaction 3 days from now.

Doing a deliberate challenge can have value when gone about by adding in the offending food for a week at least 3 times a day. You would stop the challenge when you react. If after adding back in gluten for a week you have no reaction and you were diagnosed with biopsy then you would need to be very careful about CC. You do risk, as others have pointed out, a severe reaction that might take weeks to resolve.

I also think it is important to challenge with a pure source like "cream of wheat" and nothing else added.

Good catch Shay, yes that is extremely important and I forgot to mention it. The Cream of Wheat was what I used when I had to challenge.

True, you could theoretically be just reacting to the oil or something, pure source is a good idea.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
