Neg. Blood Test... Endoscopy Next?

I was tested in February and came back negative, but had already eliminated gluten so not sure what the point of it really was.  I guess I really don't care at this point.  The thought of eating gluten and feeling horrible to get a more accurate test result doesn't seem worth it.  So right now I am just not eating gluten.  Eat gluten = feel bad.  No gluten = feel good.  At some point I may change my mind.....

good point and it's that simple.  when i quit eating gluten, i got better.  

 

Guys... My mom is really against me getting the endoscopy due to money... This is just making everything worse! Ughhh... I just feel like crying.

$$ is so tight for nearly everyone these days.  if eating gluten free is making you feel better and your folks can do it, what if you just wait - you should be able to tell  :)

 

ps - nobody makes me whip out my diagnosis.  alot of times i don't even mention celiac.  i just say i can't eat gluten.  plain and simple.

 

pps - your sn makes me want to call you 'tiny chef' lolz  :D

I'm over the thought of having to explain to people about my gluten problem... I could care less if they believe me lol. Its just my mom.... She has called me a hypochondriac, and I just feel like I need to prove something to her. She thinks shes gluten sensitive, but not as far as celiac disease. I still live with her, and I just want to absolutely rule of celiacs, that way I know the damage being done to my body. So really, I just feel like my mom wont take me seriously if I want new shampoos or toothpaste.. She doesnt believe in cross contamination either :/

 

And lol, well, my name is actually first 3 letters in my first, middle, and last name.

I got disoriented with this post and the other one...

 

 

I'm sorry to hear this is causing problems with your family.

 

If you are short on money just do the DGP-IgG after you did the gluten challenge.

 

 

PS: on the other posts you said you have C vs D.

 

Calcium in milk or cheeze, can cause C.

Magnesium supplements loosen C.

      Thank you and I am aware that I should be eating a "normal" diet until tested it's kind of been trial and error for my diet or more like just ERROR! I about 1-3 bites a meal I'm to a point that 99 percent of the time I'm having trouble swallowing just about everything occasionally I find either something or a very small window of time that allows me to get very little of something! I am basically getting zero nutrition what so ever because I take one bite of the meal that I usually just slaved over just to end up tossing it when it's all said and done...did anyone else ever experience anything like this?  I am more then open to suggestions! It is taking a very extreme toll on me and my body forsure

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.
