Feeling So Much Better- And Happier

Its amazing how things can seem so dark one day and the next day- wham. Things get bright again. Well, today was my day. I started off the day the way that I usually do- with a job hunt (I spend about 1 hour on this every morning while the baby is asleep). I got a lead and submitted an application. Then, the most magical thing happened. Like, 2 hours after I submitted the app, the manager called me and said that with my qualifications they had another position in mind for me, and could I come in Thursday for an interview!! So, things were looking up.

The second thing was, this was the first day that I didnt crave wheat. Its going to sound stupid, but I almost feel like I was addicted to wheat. Bread was like, my staple and I feel like I was literally jonesing for it, like it was a cigarette or something. (I know thats silly). But not today. Not even when we went to Costco and there was only one sample I could have. Didn't bother me.

Then, the final ray of sunshine- after dinner, my sister asked me if I would like to go with her to get some ice cream for the family, so I could pick one out that was safe. She also apologized for the other morning.

All in all, I am feeling pretty good tonight. Now, if I can just get that job, things will be golden!

Great to hear. Good luck with the job. That the manager called you so quickly is a good sign. Sounds like things are looking up.

That's great! I'm glad you had such a good day. All the best with the job.

i think you can be addicted to wheat. i think you can have withdrawal going off it. bread is the staple in the us and some other places. aw yay that your sister tried to be supportive and help get a treat you could have. i agree it is great to be free of daily intestinal revolt and skin problems. best wishes on the job hunt!

      Thanks for the reply.

      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.

      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.

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