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.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
