I Did My Blood Test Today, Going Out With A Bang..

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-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      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 y...

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

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.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      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.
