Remission Periods?

Hi from a new member. I have a couple questions I am hoping someone can help with. My first question is whether Celiac symptoms are pretty much full blown all the time if you are eating gluten, or if you have periods of remission alternating with "flares". Most of my symptoms seem to mirror Celiac but I do have times when I do pretty well and other times when I am running to the bathroom several times a day - sometimes before I even finish a meal!

Question two is how long does it generally take to run the Celiac panel blood test. I had my blood draw on the afternoon of the 14th so let's just say the 17th and give them the weekend off :) It has been a full week - should I call the doctors office and bug them? I had a colonoscopy on Thursday, the 20th and they did not have the results back yet. I have already decided if it comes back negative to ask for the endoscopy but I am just not sure when to start bugging them!

Thanks for being here. I have had a lot of questions answered just by lurking :)

I was like that for years. I thought it had to do with something I was eating, or not enough fiber some days, too much beer, etc. Looking back, I can see some times when I was doing better were because I just happened to be eating less things with wheat - had a box of Rice Chex I was eating for several days, Tacos one day, homemade stew & leftovers that week, couldn't get Chicken noodle soup so had chicken rice.

I wish now I had been keeping a food journal. I've been off and on Adkins and South Beach several times over the last several years. It would be interesting to see how that matched up with symptoms. It is difficult to look back and say for sure but...odds are good.

The only thing I have been able to tie to symptoms with absolute certainty is that stuff they put in diet candies - malitol or sorbitol...somethingitol! But I don't think that has anything to do with Celiac or gluten issues. I just know too much of it is a dangerous thing for me (and it doesn't take too much to be "too much") but I think they have a warning on the labels that it can affect anyone that way! YIKES! Why do we eat this stuff??

I also think my difficulty with losing weight stems from everything going through my body so fast it is scared it isn't going to get to keep anything so it holds on to every bit it can!

Diarrhea is a common result of consuming large amounts of sugar alcohols (those ***itol things). It has nothing to do with celiac disease.

      Ibuprofen

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      By Colleen H · Posted

      I think I found a huge culprit for severe reactions to create worsening of my c symptoms. Do people with celiac have sensitivity and /or have opposite reaction to certain medications Where can I find a list ?  I'm new here I'm.wondering why I am getting worse when I take certain medicine...the burning feet.  Rebound muscle pain so intense  How many people get opposite effects or have a horrible attack after these meds

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Juliane · Posted

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…
