Hi

Im sorry your feeling so bad. My daughter is 5 and she had all the symptoms you have. If you where gluten free for the blood test it will come out negative you need to be on gluten when you do the blood test. Ronni was on gluten when she had her blood work done it came back positive and so did her biopsy. I hope you start feeling better. Talk with your mom there are other test you can do to find out for sure.

Hillary, quick question....

You had your daughter biopsied right? Were you happy you did that? Would you change that decision at all?...my 2 year old boys tested positive from the blood work and I do not want to have the biopsies done. I also tested positive from the blood work, and chose not to have the biopsy done. My symptoms have improved since going gluten-free and so I don't see how the treatment would change in any WAY HAVING THE BIOPSY DONE. Either way, even if the biopsy came back negative for some reason, the blood tests would indicate a gluten sensitivity and would be treated the same way. Anyway, just curious your opinion.

Hi lyndszai, welcome!!!! :D

The symptoms you mentioned do sound like Celiac/gluten sensitivity. Even though your doctor did the blood work to check for Celiac and it came back negative does not mean much. The way my doctor explained it (after a long battle with him) is sometimes it takes a while for it to show up in the blood or for the damage to show in your small intestines.

I was told for over a year that I had IBS, went through multiple test procedures, blood test and doctors visits but I knew there was something more to it. Trust your instincts and listen to what your body is telling you.

Are you currently gluten-free? If so for how long and have you seen an improvement with the abdominal pain, nausea, etc? If you have improved on the gluten-free diet chances are you have Celiac/gluten sensitivity and should stay gluten-free for life, not unless you want a doctors diagnosis then you would need to remain on gluten for the test to be accurate. There is another option I am sure you have read about here, it is Open Original Shared Link. The perform a stool panel test which is more sensitive than blood and more accurate!

Hang in there and I hope you find some answers soon! :D

I noticed a diference after three days but, watch what you eat stay away from junk food never touch it.. Just have your regular foods every day..

gluten-free cereals or waffles gluten-free

bananas especially (all friuts)

veggies fresh or canned, read the labels

dried raisins

juice pure 100% apple orange grape..

milk, cheese one yogurt maybe some ice cream from safe sources

meats, fish, eggs, peanut butter, some gluten-free bread or rice cakes or corn cakes..

check and, double check the sources..everything I mentioned is pretty safe to start you off..keep it simple as your body wants it very simple and, nutritional as well..maintain it for life and, slowly but, surely introduce new foods..make sure they are safe..but, keep it simple for six months..

I was scared to eat before my diagnosis and that is why I lost 40lbs in 2 months! I never vomited but felt nauseas all the time! After going gluten-free I could tell a difference within a couple of days. The first thing I noticed was the abdominal pain was gone.

Stick to the basics, fresh meat, veggies, and anything you know is gluten-free. I am still not sure about the fruit, maybe apples and banana's would be safe.

I do hope you begin to feel better soon!

wow thats alot .Thanks I will stick to the basics.Its gonna take awhile to get the test done tho so im really hoping this will work.If it works im gonna stay on it even if i dont have celiac because i know its something to do with food .Its just confusing when one doc tells me one thing and the other tells me the complete opposite.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
