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.

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
