New here, as well as to Celiac. I've been gluten free for 2 months now and find that when I encounter gluten now that I've been clean my reactions are much worse! I had fries out last night and they were coated with wheat flour (had to call today and have them check). I have been having stomach cramps all day, double over take your breath away cramps and nasea. Has anyone ever tried Bentyl for these types of symptoms? I took it years ago when I was dx ed as IBS....Ouch, what can I do? Need to get back in the game asap!

Thanks

You can try it, but I was given Bentyl last week during my flare up and it made the pain so much worse I almost went to the ER. It says on the package insert that it is not to be taken by people with chronic inflammation. They weren't kidding!

I was on Bentyl for about two days. Made me zombi-like, I was nauseated, threw-up dirrahea, ended up in hospital for 6 days for dehydration. this was before my diagnosis of Celiac after the Dr.s ran more tests.

      Try a multivitamin maybe it will cover what you are deficient in.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By cristiana · Posted

      Agreed, and I can't remember exactly and haven't got time to check, but I think my blood didn't normalise for eight years! For years I read this forum thinking why can't I get my numbers down - everyone else manages to.   But my gastroenterologist didn't seem to worry about it, which makes me think he either thought I wasn't complying to the diet, or he'd seen similar cases.

      Celiac Disease Comprehensive Panel

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, being off gluten for 3 months would likely yield negative results. To get accurate testing redone you would need to restart gluten consumption for several weeks (the "gluten challenge") to the tune of at least 10g of gluten daily (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread).

      That is one of the tests covered in the article I linked you above.

      Antibodies to Deamidated gliadin peptides.  It is another celiac antibody test. The main test is the one you had, TTG,  But a full panel will also include DGP IgA and IgG.  I was positive on all of them!
