Hate Letter To Gluten

Dear Gluten, Wheat, Barley, etc.,

I.Hate.You. You have made my life pretty miserable. You ruined so many things for me. Why are you so offal to my stomach? You make it hurt like no other-you give me unbarable stomach issues. You disabled my body from absorbing any nutrients, you dirty rotten scum. Thanks for making me so sick all those years. You take away my focus and my ability to really listen, you took away my ability to really do my best in school. And aside from all of this, which REALLY makes me hate you-is the fact that you hurt my personality. You made me stuck in a "fog." I couldn't laugh, or be crazy, or have fun, because you forced me to be stuck in a foggy state of mind. Your the ultimate fun-sucker. You made me angry and anxious. You caused me to have very little pacients, to be very quick-tempered, to be jumpy and annoyed. You made me ask what was wrong with me, when really, it was you all along. And for this reason, I hate your guts(and dont forget you destroyed mine). I'm SO glad i learned to stay away from you. I'm SO glad I live without you now. I'm completely better without you; I'm a different person without you! So stay away from me-forever. I'll never, ever miss who I was when I was around you. Because I truely HATE YOU!

:) I just had to get that out.

Feel better?

If only we could go to the police and get a restraining order. Can see it now:

Me: I need a restraining order. He beat up my gut & gave me brain damage. As a result, I have intestinal damage & malnourishment & pain.

Officer: Your husband/ boy friend sounds like a real winner. Let's get started on the paperwork. His name?

Me: Gluten aka wheat, rye and barley. Occasionally, know as oats.

Officer: :huh: or :angry: or :unsure:

I think I'm angrier with gluten for sneaking into so many places where it doesn't belong. Like soy sauce. But then again, I haven't healed my guts yet.

Actually, there sort of is... The top right corner of a post is a plus & a minus button. These give you a " reputation". Don' t use the minus unless the poster is bad. I'll "plus" you so you can see.

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
