I know this is a probably a pretty common topic, but I have been gluten free for just under a week and have seen some pretty weird side effects. Anyone else experience stange bodily stuff (i'll be pretty general)? What is normal when going through this process?

Most of us are pretty okay with the TMI stuff on this board...you can always post a TMI warning on your thread, LOL!

Yes, lots of transitional weird stuff can be seen.

I had an equal amount of mental | emotional side effects too, with the withdrawls. B)

It's a wild ride right after you get off the gluten... hang in there Sweetie!

I have first - serious constipation, followed by the runs. I get a rash and what's weird for me is I get what seems like canker sores on my tongue and the inside of my bottom lip that is gone within one day. Geez.

yeah, my appetite is virtually gone, though my stomach growls ALL the time, even if I had eaten an hour before. I go to the bthroom quite frequently, to the point where I can't predict it. It used to be after eating, now it can creep up on me at anytime. My stomach also is constantly making noises, from hunger growls to gurgling. After I eat, I feel even worse, to the point where I avoid eating (thought that doesn't make me feel better) BM's are quite liquidy too. Don't even get me started on yawning.

It doesn't help that I am a teacher either...

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Violent reaction to gluten after going gluten-free?

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      By Greymo · Posted

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
