I Wanna Cry...

I fixed pasta with alfedo and spinage... I was fine for the first about two hours then it hit me bad; upset stomach akin to motion sickness stomach. I can handle dairy just fine (as i had mac and cheese last weekend just fine), i'm thinking my favorite veggie is the cause. -sigh-

Its bad enough after i started this diet that i had to cut green beans out because it turned my tounge numb twice, but now this... really? Must you hurt me?

/end upset rant.

I have some problems with spinach too. I substitute swiss chard. :) Of course, I don't like it raw that much. No green beans or peas either :(

I had problems with spinach for the first year and a half gluten-free. Cooked or raw. Now I do fine with cooked spinach. I can eat raw spinach,too but not in large amounts. A lunch size salad that has some spinach is OK but not all spinach.

I don't know the recipe but arugula works well as a replacement in some dishes. It agreed with me,

my mom suggested to switch to broccoli (which as far as i know, i have no problems with). But still... :/

I'm feeling a little better this morning, still cramping a bit though.

I take that back. Now i'm feeling like i did pre gluten free; crampy, nerves are shot to heck, going to the bathroom every five seconds with a bladder that cannot stop (which is caused by nerves), brain fog, tiredness, ickyness.

I took some cranberry pills because i thought it might be a UTI but i don't think so now. I lived with this for years and its rather annoying. -_-

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thank you this really helped.

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—
