Gluten Challenge

I started a gluten challenge yesterday at lunch. I have yet to have any really bad symptoms. I have been gluten free for about 5 months. I do have a lot of burping and today I felt like I was in a funk, this after being so happy go lucky for months now.

Have any of you done a gluten challenge? When and how did your symptoms return? What were the results of any testing???

Thanks for responding!!!!

I've done one deliberately twice. The first time I was under an allergists care and I reacted with severe D and an increase in my other celiac related symptoms by day three. My reaction was violent and the allergist instructed me to discontinue the challenge and referred me to a GI. The GI of course ordered me to do another challenge and my reaction was even more severe and it was then that I finally got my 'official' diagnosis.

If you are doing a challenge so that you can be officially diagnosed do keep the doctor in the loop as far as your reactions go. If your symptoms become severe let them know. If the challenge is to prepare for a biopsy then you need to stay on gluten for from 6 weeks to 3 months for any chance of it showing up in the biopsy.

      It's possible, as there are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:    Also, approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Perhaps you could bring you own? Not sure, but worth a try.

      I received my ANA test results - negative.  I'm thinking it was infection, was put on antibiotics for suspected sibo at the time blood test was taken. Significant improvements from taking them even while eating gluten.

      Thanks again. I've actually convinced my local butcher shop to start carrying Ghostfish gluten-free beer. It's not bad! But you won't often find it at a ski lodge.

      Villi damage is caused by celiac disease, which does not happen in NCGS, although some people with NCGS do have elevated antibody levels. Some people with NCGS who have the genes for celiac disease may end up developing celiac disease, so in some people NCGS may be a precursor to celiac disease, but more research needs to be done on NCGS. Both low iron and vitamin D are common symptoms of celiac disease. Also, regarding beer:
