Ok so in short, I was diagnosed in Feb. with celiac. My blood test results of the Tga? or Tgg?, I cant remember what its called but anyway the results were 100. So I had a endoscopy to see and it was confirmed. 3 months later and had another blood test and it came out 19. So my doctor said he was encouraged and we will check again in 3 months. Right away after I went gluten free my symptoms went away! Especially the loud gas and being gassy all the time. So today I am experiencing the loud gas again. Just since 4:00. And I had already had gone to the bathroom(#2) twice once in the morning and then in the afternoon and the third time when I got home there was an awful lot in the toilet. I cannot understand because I dont eat that much! but anyway, could this be a cross contamination issue? Or could it have been the 5g of fiber I added to my milk this morning(with FiberSure), and I also had broccoli with my lunch. Am I crazy for looking into this too much?!

Nicole,

Did you eat anything different today than normal? Did you eat anything not prepared by yourself?

Is the fiber a new addition?

I hope you feel better soon.

I am the same way. Seems to be a lot more of my ummm situation when had gone to the bathroom. :blink: Your b.m will never be like it was when you did eat wheat. I have learned that. It sure does not sound like a contamination issue at all.

well, my pre-diagnosis issue was constipation... but to me, it sounds like contamination because i just took too many risks and ended up in a similar spot as you describe. just with constipation instead of frequent visits to the bathroom. the good news is that after only 2 days of being very careful, the gas has let up. i was super foggy and sleepy on monday, better yesterday, and most of today i felt pretty normal.

      Curious if I should quit my job

      By ohmichael · Posted

      hey all thank you for your responses. RMJ: Yes I am going to go and buy some N95 masks for work, and I think my employer will reimburse me. I can't re-use them for the maximum 5 reuses unfortunately because I am very sensitive and when I get home I have to wash all my clothes and immediately take a shower. Thank you for your suggestion! Russ H: I have never been formerly diagnosed, and I completely understand the possibility of this being a mild viral infection. I went to get tested for Influenza/COVID and both came back negative, my Primary Care Manager told me it could be a cold. That is always a possibility, however, I have been glutened at restaurants before (5 known...

      Confused about my results

      Sorry but I have to dash for an appointment so little time just now. Your signs and symptoms and response to a gluten-free diet sound like seronegative coeliac disease. Seronegative coeliac disease, Coeliac UK.

      Confused about my results

      By AllyJR · Posted

      Both the doctor and I are baffled by my test results. Wondering if anyone could shed some light on this situation! I've had celiac-like GI symptoms for years. I have a family history of celiac (great-grandma), Addison's (mom), and every other autoimmune disease you can think of with my aunts and cousins. I myself have hashimotos. Because of the strong family history of autoimmune disease my doctor ordered the full celiac panel of blood tests - all of which came back negative! (I was not gluten free fyi.) So the doctor did an endoscopy and took biopsies. Biopsies showed "villous blunting and lymphocytes greater than 30". Because it was indicative of "weak celiac disease" they sent me to get a...

      ohmichael, do you know that you've reacted to gluten? We all get ups and downs in health - a mild viral infection one week and maybe an unset stomach another time. It is easy to ascribe the symptoms to gluten exposure even when that is not the cause of the symptoms. I would wait and see if it happens again before giving up your job, especially if you don't have another one to go to.
