I consumed a portion of a large pretzel because my GI says I don't need to avoid gluten. Had pretzel yesterday;ever since,I've experienced IBS symptoms again,crapping all over the place. Not pretty. So could the GI be wrong and I am Celiac or gluten intolerant? I suppose I will never know as I can't get diagnosed,just going by symptoms.

To h*ll with your GI, he "don't know nuthin'" :rolleyes: He can afford to say that because it's not his "trots" :blink: Of course you can't eat gluten - you know that, we know that - so what if he doesn't know that??? It doesn't matter, don't listen, put your hands over your ears, lalalalalalalalala. :lol:

Go for the gluten-free pretzels. You'll save money on toilet paper.

Yea they told me for years and years that I wasn't celiac and just to get more fiber and take these pills for all your other symptoms. You can see in my signature what that 'wise' advice did. I am assuming you were negative on testing but up to 20 to 30 percent of us are a false negative. If gluten makes you sick then listen to your body.

I have been diagnosed with celiac disease in November of 2010. Feel great ever on gluten-free diet :-)

Today I forgot to check the label on Pringles and ate half of the box.....

Is there any way to prevent diarrhea? Help!

Welcome to the board. So sorry you got glutened. Lay's Stax are gluten free so reach for them instead the next time.

If you absolutely have to once the D starts, and it may be a day or two before it hits, then Immodium may help. However if you can let your body purge itself of the gluten that is the better way to go. You may be in for a miserable couple of days but it will pass. If you get stomach pain Pepto Bismal may be helpful.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
