ROXIE, ROXIE, ROXIE!!!!!! DO NOT go gluten-free until you get the endoscopy & the dh biopsy! If you do then you will be almost assuring yourself of a negative on both counts. You have to be actively eating gluten for BOTH of those!!!!! And I don't mean gluten light. And I don't mean off gluten a week or two & then back on gluten a week or two but FULLY on gluten.

If you don't stay on gluten until those tests are completed then you may as well forget getting the tests. IMHO.

I am waiting from doctors approval for both if he says go ahead and I can get them done soon. I will stay on gluten. Otherwise I give on both. I can't do this anymore. Although I understand totally why you say that I just don't know if my body can take anymore.

I completely understand what you're saying Roxie! Totally! But that's why I wanted to warn you; so you would know. So very many people go off gluten before all the testing is done or go gluten light or go off & on & then they just end up frustrated with the tests. Not to mention when they try to go back on gluten to re-do the tests they can rarely stay on long enough. Our bodies have stronger reactions to gluten once we've been gluten-free for even a very short time so you can imagine right?

Look, you're an adult, you can make your own decisions. You can go gluten-free now & never look back. You don't need a dx or a doctor's permission to go gluten-free. I know you have a difficult choice to make. Whatever that choice is --- we will be here for you!

We get a lot of "I was gluten-light a few weeks before my negative test/biopsy. Does that affect the tests?" There is no answer because our magic crystal balls are broke. :lol: You'll go out of your mind wondering if you get a negative!

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      By ElisaL · Posted

      IDK how common it is but it does happen. I'm celiac, allergic, and intolerant to the fiber in grains. (Fodmaps) So not only do I get sick from cross contamination, also gluten free wheat statch/fiber, and beauty products with wheat will get me. While I don't stop breathing the full body hives and short breath are not fun. Then once I make through that me and the bathroom become reacquaint. Sigh if I didn't feel so much better with the restrictions on my diet I'd feel sorry for myself. Least it makes for some good jokes about how the gremlin that lives in my gut really hates wheat.

      Ocd making gluten fears unmanageable. Need advice

      By Wends · Posted

      Hi Dora77. “Questions I Need Help With” “1. Is it realistically safe to eat food my mom cooks…” YES - you wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for your mother. Trust she still knows how to take the best care of you in her own way. Mishaps and cross contamination may happen - will happen on occasion, in fact - that’s life. But for the bulk of it as long as you’re aware of cc and try to avoid it for the most part, don’t sweat the small stuff! See the gluten free diet as a process. Own the process, Do Not let the process own you! “2. Do I need to worry about touching doorknobs, fridge handles, light switches, etc. that family members touched after eating gluten? What about public places like bus handles or...

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Unfortunately not going to be able to let you know how Amneal is working because I still have almost 3 month supply of Mylan.  Had annual appointment with endocrinologist last week (though get scripts for blood work more often) and since was on my last refill, she sent new script to pharmacist.  Staying on my Mylan until it's gone.  (I tend to build up a supply because after trying a couple of endocrinologists for my Hashimotos, one finally got my thyroid regulated by my taking only six days a week instead of adjusting the strength which had me constantly up and down.  Will be forever grateful to her.  Apparently high percentage of folks with Celiac also have Hashimotos so all this...

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By KimMS · Posted

      Thanks for sharing this! Have you started taking the Amneal? I'm curious how it's going for you. My pharmacy gave me the option of Accord, Macleod or Amneal. I didn't realize that Amneal was formerly Lannett, or I might have chosen that one. However, I did read some anecdotal reports that some people had side effects with Amneal, so I chose Accord. I have been taking it for 3-4 weeks and the past 10 days I have developed extreme fatigue/sluggishness, joint pain and some brain fog. I don't know if it is the new levo med, but nothing else has changed. Has anyone else taken Accord levo? Any issues? It seems to fall into the "no gluten ingredients, but we...
