Going To A Celiac Spealist Tomorrow Should I Eat Glutten?

I've been off gluten for almost 24 hrs and I'm feeling way better but I'm going to a dr. tomorrow to find out if I have it and will probably be getting blood work done in the afternoon and then setup for an scope later. My question is should I eat something with gluten tonight in it? Like pizza for dinner or whatever? I don't want to mess up the blood test but I also don't want to be sick. It's only been about 24 hr/s since no gluten. Anyone know the time ranges of how long off gluten to have a valid test or not? Normally I eat all kinds of bread previously.

Thanks

Yes, keep eating gluten until all your testing is done. 24 hours probably wouldn't make much a of a difference but I would start eating up all the gluten you can find. ;-)

I have a funny feeling I'm going to get sick from this... My symptoms seem to be related with sweaty palms, brain fog lightheaded and nervousness. It does get pretty bad sometimes and I have to lay down for about an hr or so for it to go away. I also been noticing my stomach seems to growl like all day long even on a full meal. Since I've been off gluten, it hasn't growled...? I'm a little scared to eat gluten in way, but I can try to deal with it until they find out or not. I'm assuming all the doctors can do for me tomorrow on a first initial visit would be blood work correct?

They will probably do bloodwork then they will schedule you for an endoscope if you want that done.

How long does the blood work take to find out if it's positive? I would be nice to know right away.. :/

It can take up to two weeks to come back. Do keep eating gluten until after all celiac related testing is finished including the endoscopy if you are having one.

For your growling tummy you might want to try some digestive enzymes. They help me with gas, and I sometimes take them after I eat if I'm getting gassy. I use the Source Naturals, and just got a new bottle in a vegetarian capsule (I'm not vegetarian, but I'm trying to avoid gelatin caps). It says they contain no yeast, dairy, egg, gluten, corn, soy or wheat. Contains no sugar, starch, salt, preservatives or artificial color, flavor or fragrance.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
