Gluten...the Devil In Disguise...plus A Weird Symptom...

Ok so, I went off of gluten for about 3 days, due to the doctor telling me my blood work showed I was Celiac, yet my biopsies came back negative. Within 24 hours I felt absolutely amazing, it was working. I went back to the doctor today, and they tell me Ive never had blood work for Celiac, and my biopsies are negative, but In order for insurance to cover me to go to a Dietician, I probably need a diagnosis and to go back on gluten until the weekend, get my blood done, then resume the gluten free diet. I either have Celiac or a Gluten Sensitivity. Either way, all I know is, Its been way less then 12 hours since going BACK on gluten and I feel miserable. Stomach pain, the big D, Nausea, chills, sweats. I hate this! Also I have a weird symptom ive never heard anyone mention yet. Whenever I eat gluten containing foods, I start sneezing within 1-2 minutes of putting it in my mouth. Is that all in my head? Or does anyone else have that symptom? As soon as I stopped eating gluten the sneezing stopped. All I know is I don't know if I can make it until the weekend. Granted its Wednesday here already but come on! I hate when doctors tell you one thing, and they say oops sorry we made a mistake. Could someone please shed some light on this? I requested no matter what the results are, whether insurance covers it or not, Im going back off gluten as soon as I get my blood drawn, and they are sending me to a Dietician no matter what. Feeling very very sick right now! Please help!

Call your doctor and tell them about your reaction to adding gluten back in. If you were only gluten free for 3 days they may be able to go ahead and draw the blood now. There can be false negatives with blood tests and biopsy so do keep that in mind. Glad you got such quick results on your short trial of the diet and do keep it up after your done with testing.

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.
