Anyone Else Get A Flat Curve Glucose Tolerance Test Results

ANYONE ELSE GET A FLAT CURVE GLUCOSE TOLERANCE TEST RESULT? Over many years I have had three 6-hour GLUCOSE TOLERANCE TESTS because when I mention that sugar makes me sick to my stomach, that is the first thing a new doctor wants to do. They always think it might be Diabetes. And every time I get a FLAT CURVE result. I have been told it is a failed test, even that I didn't really drink the sugar drink when the tech watched me drink it! I have even been accused of vomiting it up in secret! Recently while researching, I ran across a lab manual that states that Malabsorption can be one of the many causes, and even mentions Celiac. Now, I'm just curious if anyone else has had this experience? I suppose it could be considered just one more "symptom" of celiac disease.

Years ago I had 2 6 hr glucose tolerance tests, both with flat curves. I had Celiac Disease and maladsorbtion then too but undiagnosed for many years. My brother is a Type 1 diabetic and my father had Type 2.

      Can you get more EBT benefits if you have celiac disease?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello @brian1 I'm a UK based Moderator here on the forum.  If you are British, you may find that in your region you might be able to get certain gluten-free food (usually staples like bread) on prescription.  I recommend you ring Coeliac UK for the most up-to-date advice on this. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/home/ There is some advice here for UK coeliacs which might also be of use, on how to best navigate the gluten-free diet on a budget. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/information-and-support/living-gluten-free/the-gluten-free-diet/gluten-free-diet-on-a-budget/ I am afraid I don't know anything about the benefits you mention but maybe the charity can help?

      Legumes can be a source of wheat contamination, but I assume that you use versions labelled "gluten-free."

      Thiamine supplementation

      You may want to look into Benfotiamine, which is the fat soluble version of B1.

      Waiting for urgent referral.

      Be sure all testing is completed before going gluten-free, that is, unless you are certain that gluten is the culprit and have decided not to eat it again. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
