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.

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      I’m wondering if anyone has had any experience with the gluten challenge. My teenager completed a gluten challenge over the summer, it ended up being 10 weeks although she stopped being consistent eating gluten after 6. Her previous endoscopy was negative but this past August it was positive after the gluten challenge. If you have done the gluten challenge, ...

      Airborne Gluten?

      Hello everyone, I was on here a few months ago trying to figure out if I was reacting to something other than gluten, to which a very helpful response was that it could be xanthin or guar gum. Since then, I have eaten items with both of those ingredients in it and I have not reacted to it, so my mystery reaction to the Digiorno pizza remains...

      Rectal pain

      I was suffering from PF just previous to being dx with celiac disease about 25 yr. ago but have not been troubled with it since. Not sure what the connection between the two is of if there is one. But I do know it is a very painful condition that takes your breath away when it strikes.

      Rectal pain

      I have dealt with proctalgia fugax on and off for a year now. It feels almost paralyzing during an episode and they have started lasting longer and longer, sometimes 20+ minutes. I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease and wonder if the 2 are related. I did request a prescription for topical nitroglycerin for my PF episodes and that has helped tremendously...

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      By Kirita · Posted

      I’m wondering if anyone has had any experience with the gluten challenge. My teenager completed a gluten challenge over the summer, it ended up being 10 weeks although she stopped being consistent eating gluten after 6. Her previous endoscopy was negative but this past August it was positive after the gluten challenge. If you have done the gluten challenge, how long did it take you to feel back to normal? It took about two months before she got “glutened” again but now she’s having difficult coming back from that and has a lot of fatigue. I’m hoping someone has some advice!

      Airborne Gluten?

      By annamarie6655 · Posted

      Hello everyone, I was on here a few months ago trying to figure out if I was reacting to something other than gluten, to which a very helpful response was that it could be xanthin or guar gum.    Since then, I have eaten items with both of those ingredients in it and I have not reacted to it, so my mystery reaction to the Digiorno pizza remains.    HOWEVER, I realized something recently- the last time I got glutened and the most recent time I got glutened, I truly never ate anything with gluten in it. But i did breathe it in.    The first time was a feed barrel for my uncle’s chickens- all of the dust came right up, and most of what was in there was wheat/grains. The second time was after opening a pet food bag and accidentally getting a huge whiff of it.    When this happens, I tend to have more neurological symptoms- specifically involuntary muscle spasms/jerks everywhere. It also seems to cause migraines and anxiety as well. Sometimes, with more airborne exposure, I get GI symptoms, but not every time.    My doctor says he’s never heard of it being an airborne problem, but also said he isn’t well versed in celiac specifics. I don’t have the money for a personal dietician, so I’m doing the best I can.    is there anyone else who has experienced this, or gets similar neurological symptoms?
