Newbie Looking For Help!

I was wondering if anyone else had been told they were at moderate risk for Celiac after having the Celiac Genetic test done. My new GI ran the test and wants me to stay on Gluten free diet since I feel better on it. They still don't know if I have it or not but that I may have a gluten sensitivity though. I have had all the tests done for celiac and they have come back negative. they told me then it was Gerd but the meds never helped I was still suffering and bloated all the time. When I finally did the gluten free diet is when I finally felt at my best. I also have vitamin D and b-12 deficiency along with Pernicious anemia. Anyone else have problems like this?

Ditto...been back and forth feeling god to bad to worse to maybe better not sure and vitamin deficient. My mother has celiac and feels with my symptoms I do as well. I had a negative blood test no endo done but a possible DNA link of "that I may be susceptible to a gluten intolerance" I went gluten-free once before for about a month, excema cleared up, felt lighter and clearer, allergies were better. Went back to eating gluten so I could have accurate tests done...nothing confirmed so I went back to doing gluten-free diet. It's been over a week and I've been really good about it but this time I feel Awful!!! Wondering if some of the gluten-free bread and gluten-free products are causing a new reaction. I eat mostly veggies, not a big pasta or sandwich person but I feel awful, hope it doesn't last!

I was diagnosed with IBS and having GERD years ago which neither EVER bothered me, thought it was just a diagnosis to tell me something... but tI feel like now I have the GERD as I keep burping, feel like something is stuck in my throat or clogging behind my breastbone and I feel short of breath. I'm 36 and an active runner and yoga enthusiast. I feel like I'm a 100 with the way I feel. Was thinking of going back on gluten as this sucks just as much! Anything I've read thus far n here has been mostly about folks getting "glutened" and I'm certain that's not it as I've been perfectly careful but I do feel awful. I can only pin it all down to stress....

Feeling healthy on the gluten-free diet and sick eating gluten is pretty much the definition of non-celiac gluten intolerance. As your doctor says, if it makes you sick, don't eat it! I wish most doctors had that much common sense to offer their patients.

Jecka - Try to stick to unprocessed whole foods. You might be into a gluten withdrawal, or you might be sensitive to the gums and unusual flours in gluten-free foods. I hope things settle down for you.

      I'm not saying this is what you have, but your description reminds me of Morgellons, which are not very well understood. Here is a review from a reputable source.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Hi Trent, no dairy. Other than good quality butter. I have been lactose free for years. No corn, sugar, even seasonings and spices. I don't eat out. I cook my own food.

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, are you consuming dairy? Not sure if dairy is part of the carnivore diet.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Hello Russ! Thank you so much for your reply. I have not had an antibody test done, ever, relating to gluten. Last year I had an allergy test done via blood draw (as my insurance wouldn't cover the skin test) but this was for pollen and grasses, not food. Even on the blood test I had extremely high levels of reactions to each allergen. Could this seasonal...

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      The sensitivity of people with coeliac disease varies greatly between individuals. The generally accepted as safe limit for most people is 10 milligrams per day. This equates to a piece of bread the size of a small pea. Some people report that they are more sensitive than this, but others can very occasionally eat a normal gluten containing meal without reacting...

      Hello Russ! Thank you so much for your reply.  I have not had an antibody test done, ever, relating to gluten. Last year I had an allergy test done via blood draw (as my insurance wouldn't cover the skin test) but this was for pollen and grasses, not food. Even on the blood test I had extremely high levels of reactions to each allergen. Could this seasonal allergy inflammation be contributing to my celiac inflammation? I am so careful, there is no way I could ingest gluten. For example, couple of months ago I tried a cough drop that says it was gluten free. I checked ingredients, it seemed fine. But just taking one of those caused me to have nausea, vomiting, and the same extreme abdominal pain. Have you ever heard of anyone else having symptoms like mine after being diagnosed celiac and strictly gluten free? The last episode I had like this was yesterday, after I ate a certified gluten-free coconut macaroon with a little chocolate on it. I have eaten coconut and chocolate before with no issue,  so I didn't see how I could all of a sudden have such a strong response.

      The sensitivity of people with coeliac disease varies greatly between individuals. The generally accepted as safe limit for most people is 10 milligrams per day. This equates to a piece of bread the size of a small pea. Some people report that they are more sensitive than this, but others can very occasionally eat a normal gluten containing meal without reacting. I don't think that touching or throwing bread around would lead to you ingesting enough to cause a reaction. There are case reports of farmers with coeliac disease reacting to the dust from gluten-containing animal feed but they were inhaling large amounts of dust over a long period of time in barns. Perhaps you episodes are caused by a reaction to something other than gluten? Have you had your antibody levels checked to see whether you are still being exposed to gluten?
