    Gluten challenge! Well after having 1 guinness on monday w lunch and having no issues, I had 3 maybe 4 on thursday evening around 8pm. I am just now feeling normal from the gluten reaction! Ill stick to just 1 guinness however that is like saying your going to eat 1 potato chip. Oh well just passing on info!

    Had Guinness today with lunch at 1p. Eastern Daylight Savings Time. No issues at this point also ate full meal since having guinness! At this point if I can handle 3 more at one sitting I dont need a biopsy or diagnosis I will be fine, avoid all gluten with exception of Guinness, which obviously because of its healthy nutritional profile and possibly the...

    No I do not know any vitamin blood level counts. Though I am curious, I will look into getting tested. I do know that since March I have been getting more than adequate outdoor sunlight as well as my diet being 75% plant, whole food based, and 25% animal (minimaly processed) food. I have not felt as good now at 52 than I did when I was 21 year old Marine...

    Thank you everyone for contributing to my.post. I am happy to learn any and all.informatuin regarding this topic. I will say I did contact my GI office to confirm that saltine crackers would be sufficient for my gluten challenge. I have been eating a whole sleeve of them each day so far. I have yet to try a Guinness but I intend on having one, I just need...

    Ok so that would inply that having antibodies for celiac in blood would mean you are celiac. But that is not the case, from my understanding people who have gluten(celiac) antibodies present in thier blood durring a celiac antibody blood test, results in only 95% of those cases end up haveing celiac. The other 5% whose bloodtest were also present for celiac...

    Yes thank you for your response and links. I am learning more and more each day , I guess even though I havent had my biopsy yet, As far as I am concerned I could continue without eating wheat gluten and be fine but I dont want to give up certain food/drinks if unnecessary! But I gues I am confused between celiac which is autoimmune reaction and can lead...

    Yes that is correct! I can say that I have ate a sleeve of saltines a day this week, and last week 4 sleeves all week. No issues at all! Still have not tried bread since July 4th when 1/2 a poece of toast knocked me down, but plan to test with bread again at some point. Will do a Guinness test this Friday evening so Ill post over the weekend!

    Thank you for the replies. I will continue with saltines daily, I enjoy them, unless I start noticing or feeling problems. I will also try a Guinness in good time, After reflecting on the last years and many instances of sickness and nausea with no indication of what was causing it, I have definitely isolated down to some type of wheat allergy. Hopefully...

    Ok I have some.updates on my experience and some questions or advice/2nd opinion. Since my positive antibodies blood test in April 12th 2023 I have been avoiding gluten. All is great, recently I ordered gluten free toast and it appears to not have been gluten free or contaminated or just misplaced, regardless I got very sick within 4 hours of injecting a...

    Thank you all for responding! Yes I do have it scheduled, it is not until September 12th! I am counting the days until labor day weekend where I will resume consuming Guinness as well as other wheaty items if I can handle it! I have been gluten-free since Mid March , Now I had my first contamination on July 4th, the diner menu said Gluten Free toast. It...

    I have so many questions! But most importantly and the only reason for me at this moment to have the biopsy and know for sure is because I can not imagine the rest of my life without having a Guinness! I have been avoiding it for the last 4 months since my Dr told me my blood test was + for celiac antibodies. ME: " ...... Ok ..... Doc , does that...
