When Do Symptoms Subside?

Hello all. I'm a newbie, diagnosed in May with celiac disease after the blood tests and biopsy. My diagnosis came after 4 years of lots of issues (which I'm sure you hear all the time) but what finally got me to demand an answer was the horrific reflux and vomiting I started to experience about 6 months ago. Last month during a doctor visit he told me that once I go gluten-free my symptoms should subside pretty drastically within a month. Well, I spent the morning puking and running to the bathroom. I guess I'm just looking for some reassurance that it will, indeed, get better eventually.

Are you getting gluten from anywhere non-food? Medicines, cosmetics, old pans or cutting boards? Gluten is insidious and can hide anywhere, for a long time.

Brand-new here too. I discovered that along with gluten, I was also intolerant to soy (at least for the time being anyway). I'd definitely double-check for the gluten, but keep in mind there may be another intolerance or two that's bugging you.

Hope your tummy gets happy as quickly as possible!

I was in pain and had issues for almost a year. It wasn't until I gave up corn and soy that I had a pain free day. Gluten can be everywhere in a shared household. I was CC myself in the beginning a lot. You need your own toaster and strainer, cutting board etc. It's a lot to wrapped your mind around in the beginning, but with time, it does get better! Read and read here you will learn a lot to help you. Keep a food diary also to help you figure out if other foods bother you. Everyone is different, it depends on how much damage you have. It will get better!!! It takes time, be patient with yourself and know you're learning how to be gluten-free. Right now I would focus on any CC in your home. Make sure your food is on a top shelf. Baggies to hold food in fridge is good. Seperate condiments etc. Probiotics and vitamins as well! Hang in there!!

I've been gluten-free for 2 1/2 weeks. I'm glad you asked the question. I still feel pretty lousy and wasn't given any sort of time frame to feel better. I felt awful after eating last night and wondered if it was normal.

I'd like to add...yesterday my son grabbed the can opener to open his spaghettios. He asked if I had gotten a seperate can opener for myself..and I hadn't thought of that! Be sure you have seperate everything.

It could be cc or another food allergy or intolerence. I had to stop dairy cause of the lactose.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
