what exactly are you doing? I can say with detox one usually feels worse at first because you are ridding your body of toxic junk.It can cause physcial, emotional feelings... until all the poision is out of your system.

It is called a metabolic detoxification program. For 10 days, a food plan/modified elimination diet. I am on day 4. Starting tomorrow for 3 days I can only eat cruciferous vegetables and raw greens, apples and pears, and bottled or canned apple or pear juice along with Clear Renew medicine food; a powdered beverage. I have been drinking this since day 2, and I increase the amount each day, up to 4 times a day at the most.

I think the next 3 days will be the hardest, as today was very challenging for me, as I could only eat veggies and fruits and legumes...the first 3 days, I could atlest still eat grains.

Awwwww...this is so hard!

Is the powdered beverage you are consuming gluten free?

Is the powdered beverage you are consuming gluten free?

I suppose that is a very good question, since I just assumed. The holistic doctors are the ones giving me the stuff. Now I have to go check it out. I'll get back to you on that. Thanks for bringing that up to me.

I did look at the product, and it is gluten free. Phewww! Do people on a detox experience more diarrhea before off the diet? Is it normal. A friend of a friend said they had it bad and even vomitting.

You might want to double check on the gluten free thing. A lot of gluten free products now are gluten free enough for those who may be sensitive to gluten, but not gluten free enough for Celiacs. A good question to ask is if it tested for gluten levels.

If you are getting the runs, feeling worse, and increasing the amount of a food you are eating that might be questionable, I would be really, really sure that it is gluten-free to the standard you need.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
