if my bowel movements seem better for 2 days, then they get bad again....eating the same foods....seems to me if they are better, you are improving and should only continue to get better UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh

How long have you been gluten-free? If celiac disease has damaged your intestines, it may take quite a while for symptoms to completely clear up. During that time, they may "just happen" for no apparent reason. I saw immediate improvement, but it took several months for the symptoms to completely go away.

Three weeks is certainly not enough time for anything close to complete healing.

And even after healing, keep this in mind -- going gluten-free doesn't magically take care of all of life's ailments. People who don't have celiac also have bowel fluctuations and problems.

my only symptoms were chronic diarrhea on and off for 5 weeks and terrible gas....awful.....just wish it would completely go away and be normal like it used to. I think what finally put me over the edge was a 4 day binge of coronas, pizza and bagels :(:( Next came a stomach flu, chills, fever, diarrhea. Chills and fever cleared up after 3 days...however diarrhea and nasty poops and gas continued and I couldn't understand why. For years I would work out in the gym and not see results i wanted.....i have always been between 110-120, and have recently got up to 134 :( I always had a feeling carbs, now I know gluten didnt sit well with me.....thanks for the info guys...I am just frustrated, nice to know I can come here. thanks again

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
