Hello everyone first time on here need some feed back very scared and confused.I started getting sick about a year and half ago.I started out with diarrhea pain in left side of belly.I was also bloating really bad and the only way I could get rid of the gas was using a suppository every day.I finally got into see a gastro doc he did a endoscopy and said I was red and irritated in my stomach.He made me an appt for a colonoscopy He gave me the stuff to drink to clean me out and I got half of it down and started throwing up.He wouldn't do the colonoscopy because He was worried I wouldn't be cleaned out enough.I ended up going to the hospital and they did a cat scan with dye and couldn't find any blockages.In the mean time I finally got the pill cam done and that was two weeks ago and still haven't got results back yet.In the mean time I did cut wheat and milk out of my diet and has helped.But thees a huge problem I haven't been able to go to the bathroom by my self for two months. I have had to give myself an enema every 4 days.I still have the pill cam in me.My doctor finally did ex ray and its on lower left side of abdomen.Since I have been having to give myself enemas im really inflamed down there.He prescribed some cream to take swelling away and told me to do sits baths.I still cant get it out tried another enema and now nothing is coming out but water.My doctor wont listen to me.Is it possible I ate wheat and milk for so long and didn't know i was allergic and now my intestines are so inflamed I cant go to bathroom and if that's the case What can I do to heal.By the way I hate my doctor.

It just takes time. I completely understand your frustration. I was unable to use the bathroom for 5 months and it wasnt until about 2 weeks gluten free that I was able to slowly but surely use the bathroom again. I have been gluten free for 4 months now and soy and dairy free for 1 month. I still struggle with constipation but I got so used to not going that I dont really seem to mind the 2 or 3 day periods I cant go. Just stay patient and stay positive! I know it is a difficult road but keep at it and you will figure it out!

So sorry to hear of your difficulty. Take a deep breath... you are going to get through this. I would suggest that you try doing a salt water flush. Open Original Shared Link Here is the link at the website Healthbeyoundhype.com. The salt cleanses the entire digestive system, something an enema won't do. Keep doing it until you get some relief.

Aloe vera juice which is gluten free helps with constipation as does Magnesium Glycinate. Good luck to you.

And if you are able to eat, try a digestive enzyme with each meal. I use enzymedica digest gold. It helps digest food in the stomach so your tract has an easier time. If I take too many per day (3+) I actually get diarrhea.

You may also add a probiotic.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
    • Scott Adams
      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
