quick q re: a gluten challenge -

would i be able to just regularly ingest "vital wheat gluten" that you see in the bakery aisle for a gluten challenge instead of having to eat all the starches? I could just miix it into a drink or something - i know it sounds absolutely disgusting.... but i just don't want to end up carb-addicted (been there, done that in my life) from a gluten challenge. just wondering......

I'm sure it would work just fine. Gluten is gluten, vital or not and your body will treat it as such. Good luck!

"vital wheat gluten" (just labeled that for the bread makers) is the most concentrated form of the wheat protein you can get, and yes, it'll work, and yes, it'll taste NASTY. That's what I did - mixed it in yogurt (which I don't recommend, as it can confuse the issue if you're casein intolerant). the problem comes in when you consider that it's uncooked - and that may make it give your system a harder time than otherwise. you might try making tortillas or pancakes or something with it that gets cooked. even hot "cereal" might be a try...

Can someone please tell me what a gluten challenge is? I am guessing it means you go off gluten for a while and then test yourself by eating it again and see how you react - is that right?

Thanks in advance for explaining!

yep, a gluten challenge is when you purposely eat gluten to not only observe the symptoms, but to be more accurately tested for the disease, since the blood tests and biopsy are usually most accurate when you have been eating gluten for an extended period of time... hope that helps

i have lots of very mixed bloodwork results, and there is a handful of diagnoses on the table besides celiac.

i just cannot WAIT to finally find out what is wrong with me. the waiting and not knowing for sure is eating me up.... ugh

Does anyone know how many Tablespoons you would need to eat per day of the vital wheat gluten for the gluten challenge (equivalent to 4 slices of bread)??

thanks!

This original posting is very old (2005), so it is doubtful that anyone will reply.  I can tell you about a gluten challenge:

Why not eat bread, crackers or other gluten-containing products?  Just curious.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
