I am new to all of this - not diagnosed but have been trying to follow a gluten free (as well as other restriction) diet. However I have had a couple of reactions and am wondering if they were gluten reactions. I know I am glutamate sensitive and can blame it for these reactions I assume.

The first was to some gluten free granola. (Udi's was the brand - vanilla flavor). The reactions included increase in burning mouth as well facial pain (these are both things I would like to eliminate or decrease).

The second was to an Rx med - new manufacturer of a generic - had pregelatinized starch as well as start in it - old manufacturer used cornstarch. The reaction here was an increase in internal shaking and a spike in blood pressure. I realize that without knowing the source of the starch, it could be from wheat.

I also get abdominal pain at times under the right rib but it isn't gall bladder problem but could be liver.

I have tried to be gluten free since Feb 23. I am in the process of finding a new PCP as the old one is leaving the area and do have an initial appt with someone is 2 weeks.

I would appreciate any inside. Thanks in advance.

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.
