Off Gluten 2 Weeks!

I am STILL waiting on my blood-test results for the celiac panel. The labs came back on Wed of this past week. I have been calling daily, and they are on the Doctors desk for review. I still have not heard from him. I have a feeling it was negative because (I assume) he would have called otherwise? I will try again on Monday...

I have been off gluten for about 2 weeks now. The gas pain and bloating that occurred almost every evening has stopped! My mood is feeling better, I lost a few pounds, and my skin looks great!

I was wondering if the reynauds/sjrogrens symptoms will subside or slow down as well? Has anyone seen changes with these autoimmune issues by removing gluten? The reynauds started last year and seems to be getting progressively worse (especially with the cold weather settling in).

Also...I am still working on the thyroid stuff...I requested my test results for hashimatos, and will post them on here once I get them.

I don't think him not calling means its negative. It means the people at the office are lazy :P lol, don't know about sjrogens and gluten free but I do think most find it to improve off gluten. Thyroids are nasty things. Luck with that one too!

P.S. adorable kid in your profile pic. gotta love that curly hair B)

thank you! That is my 2 year old :) I can't bring myself to cut his curls! Thyroids are nasty-I haven't even began to figure that one out yet. I'm taking it one day at a time, and learning a ton!

Kathy,

Yes, many people see a remission/improvement in many other autoimmune conditions. My alleged Hashimito's before DX? --well, I do not even have it-- and I took meds for 2 years for no good reason. :angry: That was my experience, though. My thyroid is perfectly fine.

Look under the forum for RELATED Disorders or use the Search Forum up at the top of the screen and you will see that MANY people have posted about Raynaud's and Sjrogen's and Hashi's. Posting these questions under the topic "Off gluten 2 weeks" may not get you any answers as no one knows you are asking about these things in particular.

Okay? okay! ;)

Best wishes, IH

I was lost the first month or so, but people helped me :) and so, I wanted to point you in the right direction as well.

How you entitle your post --and in the right section---will get you the most responses!

If I can help you in any other way, I will. If I do not know the answer, I may know who will. These folks are the best! :)

I was going to say cute little boy, but my sisters little girl is always called a little boy so I thought I would tread on the side of caution. I wouldn't cut the hair either. Too cute! My little niece has curly hair but it is so thin and it doesn't grow much (shes 3 and it isn't even an inch long). I'd say a good time to cut it is when he starts running into the walls because he can't see :P Or when he can't walk because he trips on his hair. Either-or.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone...

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?
