More Sensitive Now?

I thought I was gluten free for most of the past 3 months and saw massive amounts of improvement with every complaint I've ever had. The first thing I noticed was that after a month on the diet, I started eating cliff bars. After a few weeks, I realized this was the cause of my brain fog and haven't had any since. Recently, I've started not feeling my best (constipation, extreme fatigue, muscle aches, etc). For the two days, I've been having salsa on my eggs and I've been feeling bad again particularly with constipation. The thing is, I did feel better from the beginning of the diet and I've been eating this salsa the entire time with a two week or so break before this reaction. I'm going to call tomorrow and find out the gluten content (tomato paste and natural flavoring) but is it possible that I'm getting more and more sensitive? I mean literally this morning, I ate the salsa (on eggs) got a tummy ache after suffering all day yesterday with painful constipation.

As far as I know, I'm only gluten intolerant (self-dx) rather than Celiac.

I too notice more sensitivity to gluten after being gluten free for a while. But, you may look at doing an elimination diet for a few weeks to see if you have any other sensitivities or any allergies. Many people that are gluten sensitive are also sensitive to other foods. The improvement in how you feel deffinately can be worth the time.

I know you said you had issues with Cliff bars...have you tried Lara Bars? Gluten free and YUM!

Sometimes people with gluten sensitivities also get food sensitivities to other things--like the nightshade family (tomatoes and peppers and potatoes) for instance. Mainly I think its due to leaky gut but who knows for sure.

My 12 year old son and I were diagnosed at the same time. We both seem to be getting more and more sensitive and unable to eat things that we used to eat just fine. It has been 2 years now and I'm not sure whether we have seen the limit to our low gluten threshold. I sure hope that we have. The other food sensitivity that we have is to oats. I haven't found a commercial salsa that I can eat.

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

      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.

      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!
