hey everyone its been a while since ive been here, but im back. i gave up the gluten free life for the last year or so and while i must say i enjoyed eating 'normal' again im ready to give it another serious go.my symptoms are still very minor , but i think im starting to notice more little annoying symptoms like joint pain and headaches are getting worse, especially after eating pizza? cant figure that one out, i can eat a whole loaf of bread , but if i eat a few slices of pizza ...look out.

i have no real question or concerns right now , i just wanted to say hello again.

Hi! :)

re: Pizza....are you taking about store bought or homemade?

Is it possible that its the cheese thats bothering you?

If you're talking about store bought (eg from Pizza hut etc)...those pizzas are really high in fat and preservitives....It could be those things that are bothering you also - as apposed to the gluten content.

Anyway, just a thought! :D

Hi and welcome back! I'm considering not following the gluten free diet and have a couple questions. I feel worse now then before I started this thing. I know it takes time to heal, so I'm trying to be patient. What did your doctor say about not following? How were your symptoms, if you had any, when you started eating gluten again?

hey easy.. my symptoms were very mild , very bad gas and diarrhea if you consider those mild...lol but after 25 years of dealing with it i guess it just seemed normal.its just been recently when the headaches and now severe bone and joint pain started. i went to the dr. last week and he talked me into giving it another go and see if the pain goes away. good luck to you whatever direction you go.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.
