Panopticism

I am the other way around. I had been gluten free already for 3 years. I had to start eating it to get the bloodwork. I started getting unbelievably sick after 10 days or so. Went to the doc on the 17th day, and she said that I hadn't been on it long enough to get an accurate result, I'd probably false neg. She said to go back to the gluten free diet immediately...

I am being tested tomorrow. I had been gluten free for 3 years prior to eating it now in preparation for the test. I made it about a week and a half with no symptoms other than a bit more gas than normal and a bit of bloating. After that week and a half mark, I took a turn for the worse. Started getting really sick, extremely watery diarrhea, brain fog, zone...

To the best of my knowledge, if you have burps and farts that smell like sulfur, it is likely that you have an H.Pylori infection. Usually accompanied by nausea, bloating, fatigue, diarrhea. Antacids usually help for a couple of hours, but it comes back. Symptoms usually worsen at night.

Yeah, I've got it scheduled now for Thursday. They told me it was $120. I have been eating gluten regularly for 2 weeks now. I feel awful, so I am assuming the test should yield accurate results. Thanks for the reply.

Hello, Quick backstory... I'd been gluten free for about 3 years up until a few weeks ago. Over the three years I saw improvements, but definitely not a complete recovery. I still get occasional flare ups, I'm always bloating with a sense of fullness in the abdomen. One of my primary symptoms has always been a complete inability to digest fats. When I...

Judging by the sickness after eating oil, I'm going to guess that you have either gastroesophageal reflux disease, or that there is something wrong with your gallbladder and/or pancreas. Along with oil, do you feel ill after eating foods containing a significant amount of fat? On top of celiac disease, I live with GERD as well as some so far undiagnosed...

Cool. I couldn't gain a damned pound to save my life. I've been gluten free for 11 months I think now, and I'm still way underweight. I eat so much, too. I'm broken. By the way, I'm a 19 year old male, 125lbs.

In 8-9 months gluten-free, I have not gained all that much weight. I'm pretty horribly underweight, too. I also have that constant hunger you speak of and have the entire time. I eat as much as I can afford to.

I never eat at restaurants... too bad that's not an option for you. Could you bring your own food everywhere, or is that not possible?

I've been gluten free for 8 months-ish. I haven't really started to gain weight yet. I'm like a corpse that won't make eye contact. A real life zombie.

Well, I dunno about the similarity between the two... wouldn't gluten sensitivity be more of a... sensitivity, intolerance, inability to digest, etc. Whereas, Celiac Disease is where your liver goes into fight mode and releases antibodies and tries to fight gluten, thinking it's a seriously harmful intruder? I always just assumed that, from a scientific...

Crippling nausea, feel faint, confused, very bad diarrhea where most food comes out the same way it was when it went in my mouth and EXTREME abdominal pain. Fetal position on the floor, you know. Lasts about a week, diarrhea and abdominal pain last about two weeks.

Wait, so Canadians can use Enterolab, too...?

I work in customer service, and I get insulted all the time for being too skinny(I weigh 125lbs), too pale(Iron deficiency anemia) and looking tired(...Iron deficiency anemia again, plus all sorts of malabsorption). It's not just people sharing their opinion, it's people telling me to get some sleep, eat more, get some sun, etc. I have almost gotten...
