3 Months Gluten Free

Hi! I am 20 years old and was diagnosed with Celiacs a little over three months ago, I have been eating gluten free ever since. I have also been taking a strong probiotic twice a day. I have recently tried taking the probiotic only once a day, in the morning, to see how I would feel. I have noticed mild stomach pains and bloating only at night after dinner. These pains aren't nearly as strong as they would be if I had gotten glutened. I am assuming these pains are still due to my intestines healing and having to work harder to digest without the extra help from the probiotic. I was just wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar with probiotics or without?

Thank you!!

I know when I start taking probiotics, if I have been off of them awhile, I get gassy until everything evens back out.

I'm also 3 months into the gluten-free diet and if I forget to take my probiotic before eating I definitely notice the difference -- much more 'gut gurgle' as I call it.

thanks guys! i think ill stick it out with the probiotics a little while longer. is it possible to build up a dependence on probiotics, though? that was my only reason for trying to stop, but clearly i am not ready.

      Yes, being off gluten for 3 months would likely yield negative results. To get accurate testing redone you would need to restart gluten consumption for several weeks (the "gluten challenge") to the tune of at least 10g of gluten daily (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread).

      That is one of the tests covered in the article I linked you above.

      Antibodies to Deamidated gliadin peptides.  It is another celiac antibody test. The main test is the one you had, TTG,  But a full panel will also include DGP IgA and IgG.  I was positive on all of them!

      I had been off of gluten for 3 months due to food testing came back that shows gluten intolerance. I had asked my health care provider that I wanted to be tested for celiac before stopping gluten. Once they actually listed it shows my immunoglobulin A was really elevated and on the AB, IGA part showed <1.0. Would this be a false negative given I had not gluten in months? I’m very frustrated that the the test was not done while eating gluten.
