- Wheatwacked replied to Woodster991's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms4Is it gluten?
Hi @Woodster991, You do need to see a health professional to make sure it is not appendicitis. Rebound tenderness, fever. Is it gluten? Yes. It is also serious vitamin and mineral deficiency. Either by Celiac Disease malabsortion, food avoidance or just not getting enough. Consider significantly increasing your intake of vitamin... -

Being gluten free for two weeks prior to testing can make a difference in the test results if the score is borderline. -

Hello, New to Celiac.com, glad I found this site. I have had a lot of GI issues most of my life. Recently my GI issues got so bad I tried a gluten free diet and made a appointment with my GI doctor. I got the Celiac disease blood test but I had been gluten free for two weeks before the test. My doctor told me being gluten free for two weeks would not... -

I forgot to add a status update on my health. I've had no issues. Been staying away from the foods I know cause GI problems: alcohol, peanuts and mayo. Stools are well-formed and of normal frequency. Consumption of gluten continues to have no effect. -

Hello @A Wilson, Glad you found us. There is your answer. The results from the tests are just more data to the puzzle. -

Hi @Woodster991, You do need to see a health professional to make sure it is not appendicitis. Rebound tenderness, fever. Is it gluten? Yes. It is also serious vitamin and mineral deficiency. Either by Celiac Disease malabsortion, food avoidance or just not getting enough. Consider significantly increasing your intake of vitamin D, B1, Choline, Iodine, B2, B3, B5, B12. The vitamin D test, (25(OH)D, is simple and accurate. Whole Milk yogurt and berries to populate your gut with benificial bacteria. I drink Red Bull for energy. Eat food low in omega 6 fatty acids. The ideal ratio is less than 3 omega 6 to 1 omega 3. For some, the Modern American Diet is estimated to be more than 14:1. Very inflammatory. Wheat flour is 22:1. Grass fed milk is 1:1. Whether Celiac Disease (1% of the population) or Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population) would take blood tests and endoscopy. It is either that, or you have managed to contract 6 or 7 different diseases at the same time. You don't need a doctor's permission to not eat gluten anymore than you would to eat Chinese food. -

Hello, New to Celiac.com, glad I found this site. I have had a lot of GI issues most of my life. Recently my GI issues got so bad I tried a gluten free diet and made a appointment with my GI doctor. I got the Celiac disease blood test but I had been gluten free for two weeks before the test. My doctor told me being gluten free for two weeks would not make a difference in the test results. I am not sure I believe that. I have been reading a lot of articles about Celiac disease and they all give the same information. My GI issues are all gone since my gluten free life started around October 16th 2024, and I don't want to go back to eating gluten. I am nervous about going back to the doctor for my test results.
