I'm Back And Getting Officially Tested! Help!

Hey guys! I haven't been on for a while but I'm back! See I was on gluten free because of the blood test but I've decided to get the biopsy done. So I was on full forced gluten diet (I don't have any symptons so its hard to tell). The official biopsy is on Tuesday and I need help! Maybe you could share your story, give me tips, or calming tricks? Even a joke would be appreciated. Anything you have to say, I'll gratefully accept. Please respond to this thread!

As for "calming tricks" you really won't need any. THey will sedate you so much you won't even realize you're having a biopsy--- :)

How long have you been "full force" gluten eating? I hope for at least 2 - 3 months and some say 4. Otherwise there is a very HIGH probability that you will get a FALSE NEGATIVE. Which is bad. Because if it is FALSE and they say you do not have Celiac (when you really do) and you continue to eat gluten (with no symptoms) you will still be damaging your body. This damage can show up later with the development of another autoimmune disease or lymphoma.

Not telling you this to scare you. But dont want you to waste your time with a biopsy that may not be accurate.

I know I would want to know.

As for the procedure....you will be out and not feel a thing. :)

The biopsy was a breeze for me....I didnt feel a thing. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again because I felt sooooo good afterwards....totally relaxed....came home and had the BEST nap ever! :D

Only thing is that I was totally rambling when I woke after the procedure. My mom said I was talking to the doctor but not making any sense at all. :ph34r:

If I go through it again I'll try to remember not to speak until I'm in my right mind. :P

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.
