Elimination Diet Question

Ok so I have had stomach issues basically my whole life and diagnosed with IBS. About 7 months ago, it got much worse and I was hospitalized and lost a ton of weight. ANYWAY-since then, I have had a bunch of blood tests--all negative for celiac...I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy with biopsies and it was negative for celiac.

Just went to an allergist a couple days ago and he tested for food allergies--all negative...He put me on an elimination diet--this is what I am eating:

Chicken, rice, carrots, string beans, broccoli, apple, pear, plum and water

It is day 2 and I am so excited because I have no pain and other symptoms I normally feel! Going from 7 months of pain to none is a complete miracle...but now I am curious...

Since I've tested negative for just about everything, could this still be celiac? Or maybe just a gluten intolerance?

Thanks for taking the time to read that!

Unfortunately, there are LOTS of things that can cause abdominal pain :angry: You wouldn't believe how many tests I've had in the last year trying to figure out what's causing my ongoing symptoms.

Anyway... it's absolutely possible to have gluten intolerance and not have celiac disease. It's also possible that you have intolerance(s) to other foods. I had no idea I was intolerant to corn until I took it out of my diet as an experiment to help my breastfed son (who... as it turns out... has a true allergy to corn that shows up on a skin test). That could be why you're feeling better :) I hope it continues. Best of luck figuring out all your problem foods!

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
