Being Diagnosed

Hi,

I have not yet been diagnosed but I am eating gluten free. I I feel so much better. I need to start eating gluten again before I get tested but I want to wait until I absolutely have to so that I don't have to live that way longer then necessary. How far in advanced should I start eating gluten again. :(

You should be eating a "normal" diet for as long as possible before testing, but 2-3 weeks minimum. It sucks, I know, but if you want a professional diagnosis, it's essential.

None of the tests is 100% accurate even if you're still eating gluten, but there's a video here: Open Original Shared Link where a doctor discusses the best tests to get.

Thank you tiggsy.

That video was really full of information. I actually learned quite a bit from that.

      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.
