Quarter century (25) year old guy here who just found out that i could have celiac disease. I cant tell you how long i've been dealing with GI tract problems (atleast 13 years). i thought everybody had an upset stomach after they ate, or a heavy feeling after slamming beers, so i got used to all the discomfort that i would experience. i found out after a female cousin of mine was having stomach problems for past 5 years and just recently had the 3rd intestine biopsy, which came back positive for celiac disease. our grandmother has the same stomach problems (her stomach 'talks to her' after she eats her bowl of cream-o-wheat in the morning) and her mother has similar problems. uncle has had severe colitis and other stomach problems.

have been 99% gluten free for the past 3-4 weeks and have seen drastic health improvements. cooking and taking food with me when i go out or bringing my own beer (redbridge is all i can find right now) is something i'm still getting used to. being in austin texas really helps out because its filled with restaurants that cater to vegans, so many of my favorite restaurants are aware of gluten and have menus for people with celiac disease. going out downtown or to 6th street is hard because i love the taste of beer and i cant have it anymore (but i'm fine with it cause i know for a fact that its bad and messes with my GI tract) so i try and find ciders or not drink at all.

is it possible to grow out of celiac disease and become gluten tolerant? there is so much cajun cooking i'm missing like bread pudding....pound cake....mmhmmm.... :D

I was just reading the first page about how many women post here vs. men, not realizing it was from 2005. In my health care class last quarter we just discussed how insurance companies prefer young men to young women because we never go to the doctor!

Anyway, I'm a man. Well, male anyway, I'm not sure I'm ready for all the responsibilities that come with using the grown-up terms yet, 19 isn't that old! :P

      Medication

      By trents · Posted

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.

      Good day! New members here and I have a question about medication. My gastroenterologist made me stop some medication during the gluten challenge beforenthe screening test but I have a little surgery tomorrow and I need to know if I can use tylenol for half a day or if it will give me false results using it.   Thanks

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.
