I don't know why this would happen but I am going to suggest you see your doctor if you haven't already. It might be a good idea to have stool samples done from the different voids.

i have done stool samples twice....one showed a little more fat than normal and that is it, the second came back normal...but i know something is going on. celiac panel blood work came back normal as well. will most likely have colonoscopy done and another endoscopy.....kind of nervous though!!

Their are two things (besides cancer, not very common) that can go wrong with the gallbladder: 1. Stones. They test for this with ultrasound. 2. The thing just begins to die and it loses its ability to push the bile into the gut. They test for this with a HIDA scan. You have to be assertive with the docs sometimes to get them to do this test.

The HIDA scan was the only test that showed my gall bladder was the problem. My gall bladder was slow during the test and the medication injection to stimulate the gall bladder to empty brought on the extreme symptoms I was going through. (Pain and the feeling I needed to vomit even though my stomach was empty.)

I was severely ill in November of last year. 2009. After 6 days in the hospital with severe vomiting/D and PAIN, and a myriad of test, they finally ordered the HIDA scan. Sure enough my gall bladder was kaput! No Bueno! They took it out that evening and I felt better the next morning! Now, whether or not the whole issue began with a still hidden Celiac Disease diagnosis will never be known, but that long, arduous HIDA scan got me feeling better, out of the hospital and at the Thanksgiving dinner table with my family last year...just in time!

Good luck. Gall bladders are tricky little things! LOL

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products have been processed in such a way to remove enough of the protein gluten to comply with the FDA regulation but usually do retain some gluten and we usually get reports from some people on this forum who fall in the more sensitive range that such products cause them to react. Hope this helps. So, you may just have to experiment for yourself.

      Celiac symptoms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Dana0207! Another diagnostic approach would be to get biopsied for dermatitis herpetiformis which would not require an extensive exposure to gluten. But it would need to be done during an active outbreak of the rash. Celiac disease is the only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it would be a definitive diagnosis. It might be tricky, however, to time the dermatology appointment with the gluten exposure and outbreak.
