Today I did the IGA and TTG blood test.

Been on gluten for 6 months.

So sick.

Figured, today was the last of it. At nearly a pizza, drank beer like wild. In a little bit going for fast food.

Tomorrow is back to the no dairy and gluten. Kind of excited.

I agree its been hell and most times I do want to just vomit it all. I hurt, seriously. I am so ready for tomorrow. But I wanted to load up for the blood test.

Just keep in mind you could still have a false negative. Go with what your body is telling you if that happens.

Ugh, gluten, so unpleasant sounding. Get yourself right with a whole foods diet and no processed foods for a while. We are waiting for you on the other side of the bright light. :D

Ok yesterday was terrible. I was all glutned up to the max. By evening I just felt like a trash can.

Today, finally gluten free. Not much to eat at home today so I ate some tuna and drank water. I then had some tacos made from corn no gluten.

Today also sucked. I know its just day one and I was not expecting much. But I just feel like a trash can, simple way of saying it. Actually I am the trash can that was ransacked by the raccoons.

Just hoping to see some mild resolutions to motivate myself down this road again. But looking forward to it.

It will probably be a couple weeks before you start to feel much better. The body doesn't stop cranking out anti-bodies on a dime when the gluten is removed. Some pro-biotics and a simple diet with no or little sugar would be a good idea.

It will likely be a while before you are feeling better. 'Going out with a bang' isn't really a good idea but what is done is done. I hope your feeling better soon but you really spiked those antibodies with your gluten feast so it will be a little while before they calm down. You may crave gluten and be a bit moody for a bit but hang tough and don't give in to any cravings or you will basically be back to point one again.

Figured you might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb, didja? Well, they hang you longer for sheeps than lambs :lol: Sorry you are paying the price for your gluten bust. Bet you won't do that again :P

Well I know its not advised :) and I already had 6 months of gluten eating so I could do the test. I just figured if I was going to do the test I wanted to overload on gluten just so there was no mistake that I injested gluten. So prior to the blood test, yes I had a pizza and a 6 pack and later on some arbys. And it was all disgusting, good tasting but awful feeling. I then had the blood drawn and spent a day with practically just water. I am now on day 2 and I seriously had a moment today where my stomach actually did not hurt. It was kind of pleasant, but now its returned. I know healing is slow. I can hang. Cheers everyone.

:ph34r: Shh! Don't tell anyone! This is just between you & me, right? When I got my extra, off the charts positive Celiac blood tests, I had to wait 2 months for the endo. Hub & I did "The Goodbye to Gluten tour". All our favorite and almost favorite restuarants and beers.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By trents · Posted

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By Skydawg · Posted

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      Gluten Free Cannabis Edibles

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By RMJ · Posted

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
