Diagnosis

Hi, I am new on here. I was wondering what the testing involves to know if you have Celiac disease? I have been dealing with the following symptoms on and off for over a few years now, seems to be getting worse. The symptoms include, gas with horrible bloating, and pretty bad stomach pains, almost feels like a contraction that won't go away. I experience this mainly in the late afternoon to nighttime. I have followed a bread free diet before and from what I recall did not have this kind of pain, but it seems that it does happen a lot more now, and I do drink beer occasionally. I would like to get some ideas from you all about the diagnosis before I go to the doctor over this.

Thanks!

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By Winnie-Ther-Pooh · Posted

      (I'm new to this forum!) I have always had problems with Bob's Red Mill's certified gluten-free oats and oat flour, but have been able to eat other certified gluten-free oats, from Only Oats for example. I'd be interested to know the results of other products you test as well, particularly beans, as I have a hard time finding gluten-free beans in Canada.

      Bread choice for a newbie

      By humerme · Posted

      With all symptoms of gluten intolerance, I have begun searching for appropriate food replacements. In particular I need advice on the choice of wheat-free bread. The choice is vast so choosing the grain alone is confusing.Naturally taste is a personal choice but any thoughts you have will be greatly appreciated.

      Will do! Here are some other test results from the last few days using the Elisa Technologies tests. All of these products tested Gluten Free, ( or more accurately, under 10ppm)  - Teddies crunchy Peanut Butter  - Philosopher Foods Sprouted Almond Butter - Jacobsen Salt Co Black Garlic Ginger Salt

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes, it is important to get 25OHD blood and PTH tested and monitored.  My doctor tests me 4 times a year along with homocysteine and the other blood panels.  Massive vitamin D doses under a doctors care can raise vitamin D level quickly, but those doses wear off in about three months, so either sun or supplementation needs to be instituted in order to not lose the gain.  There have been numerous clinical trials on kidney transplant patients with doses as high a 1.5million IU with no ill effects.  But those are a one time bolus under the care of doctors.  One conumdrus of these really high  dose supplements is a higher incidence of falls.  The answer is that the patient feels so good, they are more active than usual before regaining strength and balance.
