OKay... as you may recall from the thread "I am begining to doubt" I have ben gluten-free for 2 months, not getting muhc better, still anemic, etc. My son was postivly diagnosed (see sig), and I have alot of unresloved symptons that fit celiac disease. Decided to eat some chololate cake as a test (cant afford Entorlab, and insurance wont pay for blood work, etc). After eating the cake, I felt realy bad. Cramps, multiple toliet trips, etc. Took most of the day to clear the bluk of the symptons, and part of the next. Evently I got over it... and went back to my normal level of misery...

Yesterday and the day before thoguh I felt extermly tried, headaches, etc, all the symptons of when I run out of iron in my system.. and now that I know that to look for... I also notice that today, almost a week after the cake, my stools were black and tary.

Does all this sound normal? Should I be concerned at all? I am not schedualed for another check up for several months...

I have reactions that last for 2 weeks. You could be having a reaction from it now yes. I would say monitor it though. Have you had this kind of reaction before or is this the first time?

Also,this is in relation to your anemia...have you had your thyroid checked? Thyroid disorders can be in connection with the thyroid which are both in connection with celiac.

Can not say either way... never been gluten free before, and never realy paid attn till recently.

Thyroid disorders can be in connection with the thyroid which are both in connection with celiac.

Wow Thyroid disorders are connected to the thyroid?? I never knew! :D

Sorry, but had to poke a little fun.

As for having it check, I have to dig up the tests.. but I azm pretty sure that was tested for last year via a blood test.

Haha oops can you tell I've had a long day. I was multitasking and made a error :lol: Don't blame you for poking a little fun in there I would have done the same thing...you know what I meant:

I would say you are having a reaction though. If you do in fact have celiac and have went all those years undiagnosed then I wouldn't expect your symptoms to go away so soon. If you have seen even a tiny bit of improvement I would think at the least there is a negative reaction to gluten in your body so I would totally stick with the diet and and see if things improve in the upcoming months.

I think the norm for reactions is 2 weeks. I know it is for me anyway, and Kaiti too ;) If they last longer than 2 weeks, I would go to the doctor and see if something else is wrong. Hope you are better soon :)

      Thank you for the kind words!

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes...

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      Help! My 5 year old daughter just stopped eating dairy and gluten due to her EoE and Celiac. Her favorite candy in the world is tootsie rolls. I did some research, and it sounds like these are the only options for finding something similar, but I can't find them anywhere to actually purchase. Have they been discontinued?? Does anyone have another recommendation...

      Thank you for the kind words! I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating gluten daily for weeks beforehand. Many have already gone gluten-free during their pre-screening period, thus their test results end up false negative, leaving them confused and sometimes untreated. It is sad that so few doctors attended your workshops, but it doesn't surprise me. It seems like the protocols for any type of screening should just pop up on their computer screens whenever any type of medical test is ordered, not just for celiac disease--such basic technological solutions could actually educate those in the medical community over time.

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 seem to be more sensitive to minor amounts of gluten exposure than those with just one of those genes and those with only DQ2 seem to be more sensitive than those with only DQ8. But there are probably many factors that influence the damage rate to the villi as well as intensity of reaction to exposure. There is still a lot we don't know. One of the gray areas is in regard to those who are "silent" celiacs, i.e. those who seem to be asymptomatic or whose symptoms are so minor that they don't garner attention. When they get a small exposure (such as happens in cross contamination) and have no symptoms does that equate to no inflammation? We don't necessarily know. The "sensitive" celiac knows without a doubt, however, when they get exposure from cross contamination and the helps them know better what food products to avoid.
