Weird Thing

So it's been a few months since my blood test and i've been eating white bread products and having no issues. So today I figured what they hey and ate some 5 grain cereal with with rye and barley in it and also a sandwhich made with 15 grain whole wheat bread. I have such bad gas and my stomach is cramping now. Only oddity on my bloodwork that was 11 which was equivocal. >11 was negative. I don't know what too think but its def crazy. Anyone have a reaction only when they eat the grains themselves and not by products?

It may have been alot of more fiber than the white bread you were eating. Suddenly adding extra fiber can give you gas.

Ain't life grand? :blink:

Or the white bread is more processed, and some of the gluten is destroyed.

I could buy this. There was about a 5 year period of time where my health was in decline but some of my symptoms came back off and on. Looking back now, my worst health was during times when I was trying to eat "healthy" by adding more whole grain products such as whole wheat pasta, pearled barley and multigrain bread. For a while I was actually adding wheat germ to my oatmeal because I thought it would make me healthier! :blink: I never felt so sick as when I was eating a "whole grain" diet and even now I cringe when I see commercials touting their products as healthier because they contain whole grains (usually menaing whole wheat).

This exact thing happened to me too. Back when whole wheat was the big health kick I just overloaded with it... have never felt so bad in my life. It has always made me wonder if doing that didn't push me over the edge into complete Celiac-dom.

Interestingly enough, I too used to be able to eat really white/processed bread, but haven't risked it in a few years.

      confirmed via biopsy, quite depressed

      i am australian. we do have plenty of substitutes, but most are very expensive compared to the originals. i believe i'll just stick to home cooked meals and not have many treats at all. it's sad but it's just so much easier. also, ive heard far too many horror stories of people ordering gluten free food from restaurants and cafés, explicitly telling servers and kitchen staff that cross contamination is a strict no go, and they still get very sick. until i find a reasonably priced fully gluten free kitchen somewhere, i am not eating out for my safety and sanity.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these...
