my hubby has been diagnosed with celiac via a biopsy. but we have not recieved the results of the blood test yet. do we need to wait for the blood test results to start moving to glutten free or do we have an accurate diagnoses. They told us it would be about 3 weeks till we recieved the results, but due to the holiday we figured it probably be more like a whole month. i want to start working on getting him to feeling better sooner rather than later...and to do that i have to start the process. thanks for your input!

Supposedly, the biopsy is the "gold standard" for celiac diagnosis, whereas the bloodwork can result in false negatives. I'd definitely place him on a gluten-free diet immediately, especially since he's already had the blood drawn. With a positive biopsy, he really needs to concentrate on healing his gut.

Just go gluten free. He has it I would say. Even if the blood came back neg he still probably has it. And if it does take a month you can see how much better he is feeling off gluten or if he isn't any better. I suppose it could be something else but that would be rare. Luck to you both :P

If the biopsy is done and blood has been drawn, there is no reason for him to continue eating gluten. Just cross your fingers that something stupid doesn't happen like the lab losing his sample. :rolleyes:

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.
