Symptoms Only Sometimes?

Hi guys,

I know some people have really extreme symptoms relating to gluten but is it possible to have mild symptoms all the time and then occasionally, like once a month or couple of months, feel really crappy for a few days or a week?

I find ill feel really bad for about a week but then it goes back to just normal crappy feeling =)

anyone else get this?

I did for years before the D became a daily and then a day and night occurance. I don't think it is unusual. Since I had kids I thought I was just picking up stomach bugs or had a sensitive stomach. Doctors just figured I had IBS and lactose intolerance. I was told for years to just get more fiber and avoid milk. After it became a daily happening doctors just said to take immodium before I left the house...daily :angry: and handed me scripts for antidepressants.

I am wondering about this, too. I have been having GI issues off and on for 9 months. I have had a period of 4 to 6 weeks during that time when I felt great and I was eating gluten. Then, after a stressful event, I started with D, gas, and bloating again. My GI tested me for Celiac, but said I didn't have it. My tests were all negative, except the anti gliadin antibody IgA. Everything I read says this can still be Celiac or non-Celiac gluten sensitivity. I am just having a hard time accepting that I could feel perfectly fine for a period of time while ingesting gluten, if I really have Celiac or gluten sensitivity.

I've had symptoms on and off for 3 or 4 years now. They seem to come back the worst when I'm stressed out. I haven't been to the doctor yet (I need less stress, not more). But I'm in process of cutting gluten out entirely and feel dramatically better. Even when I have symptoms now, they seem to not last as long. I used to get messed for days, but I think that was cause I wasn't cutting the gluten out.

I think it just comes down to your body. If you don't have full blown Celiac and are just intolerant, like it seems I am, I think your body just kind of "personalizes" it's reaction, but I don't think you're experiencing anything out of the "norm".

      I do not have evidence other than anecdotal but I am certain when I have gotten these it's the result of eating gluten (back when I did).  I don't get them now that I don't eat gluten.

      What really bothers me is if worrying about getting cc‘d from touching the same door knob as others touched is valid. Seems like an extremely unlikely way to get glutened but i read people saying that.    If thats true then theres realistically zero chance i dont get cc‘d in a non gluten-free household unless i Cook Everything myself and wash my hands multiple times in between and store all of my stuff separately

      Welcome to the forum, @Mrs. Cedrone! Among the various causes for canker sores, are "Nutritional problems like too little vitamin B12, zinc, folic acid, or iron" https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/canker-sores Could you be deficient on something?

      I have been a diagnosed Celiac for over 30 years.  If I even get any type of cross contamination I end up in the hospital.  Recently I have been getting "cankers".  I am assuming that this is a result from something I am eating.  any insight would be greatly appreciated.  I follow an extremely strike diet as result and this is something new that has popped up.  I still get very ache sometimes and fatigued.  Thank you.

      This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
