Miserable Waiting For Test

I am being tested for celiac next week Tuesday and I am absolutely MISERABLE on my gluten filled diet. Before scheduling the test I was about 95% gluten free and feeling OK--going back to gluten full time is horrible. Pain, bloating, D, heartburn, tiredness, brain fog, anxiety, depression, can't sleep--I've got it all. I know you all have been there, I really just need to vent. In my brain right now, it doesn't even feel like I'm going to make it until Tuesday. I just burst into tears at my desk at work thinking about dealing with this for several more days. I was dealing with a lot of symptoms with over the counter meds and supplements and I'm not supposed to take any the week leading up to the test and it is making things even worse. My brain is just so messed up right now.

My worst fear is that because I was mostly gluten free for so long that the test won't show that I have celiac. I know I'm giving up gluten after Tuesday regardless, but I would really like the diagnosis. Is it weird to hope for a disease?

were you full on gluten for at least 3 months before this test? If not it could give inaccurate results.

Not weird at all.

No, I have not been full on gluten for 3 months. I've been eating gluten once or twice a week for about the last 6 months (some weeks more, some weeks less) and am doing two weeks of full gluten for the test. I know I may get a false negative but there after a week and a half of full gluten, I know there is no WAY I could do it for 3 months. Oh well.

It sounds like your body is giving you the answer no matter what the tests results are. You may not have been back on full gluten long enough for a positive on the tests but it sounds like you are going to go back to gluten free when the tests are done. Do be sure to be strict about it when all testing is done. As you are finding out after being gluten free or low gluten the symptoms can be worse. I hope you recover quickly.

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets for disability because I show no signs of celiac BECAUSE IM GLUTENFREE! Actively dealing with sibo and skin issues.Depression is the key because thats all they know, im depressed because medical has caused it because of my celiac and related issues. I should have never ever been employed as a bus driver.After 3 years still healing and ZERO income desperately trying to get better but no careteam for celiac other than stay away frim wheat! Now im having care because my head is affected either ms or meningioma in go in tomorrow again for more scans.I know im slowly dying and im looking like a disability chaser

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values.  Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.  I use them as a gluten free substitute for a peanut butter sandwich.  Try her on grass fed, pasture fed milk. While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

      I see it everyday on my feeds.  They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts.  I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field.  Some days I would just like to scream.  So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach them properly. I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
