Going For The Enterolab Testing...

So I decided today that I do need something "positive" to keep me on this gluten-free diet. My "gluten challenge" before was one bowl of wheat (was too nervous to do anything more than that), and 4 days later had a GI "reaction", so I went back gluten-free for a while. I'm thinking now that 1 bowl of wheat wasn't sufficient a challenge to actually see if gluten makes a big difference, especially since I know I have other food intolerances that cause similar reactions (Chicken, egg, turkey, goat milk, pepperdew, coconut, olives... the list keeps on growing daily :P) Blood tests and biopsy were negative by the way, detailed on previous posts.

So I'm eating tasty wheat as we speak (write), it's pure semolina, so that should do for the gluten challenge - 3 times a day for a week. Then I'm going to do the enterolab testing and together with the challenge results should be proof enough for me :)

Even though I'm 99% convinced gluten is the culprit, I'd still like something to show the sensitivity, especially for the decades ahead when I'm feeling better and have forgotten the hardships of my 20s. (The nasty 20s, I think is how I'll refer to that period!) I might think, well maybe I'm feeling better now? Maybe it was something else, a passing phase; then I go back onto gluten and do even worse damage to my body.

Will post results when I have them :)

Some of us do have delayed reactions D wise. 3 or 4 days is about the time it takes for the D to hit for me. Once you react, if you do, you may want to stop the challenge if the symptoms are severe. I do hope your reaction isn't too severe.

I don't remember how long you have been gluten free but I think if it is less than a year that Enterolab may be able to pick up the antibodies without a challenge. You may want to call them and ask.

      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…
