    This is a symptom that I've not heard to be associated with celiac disease and going gluten-free. Did you see a doctor and have a monogram or other scan done to be sure the lumps are not something more serious? I would advise doing this no matter what.

    You can try looking at the inactive ingredients for the kind you have here. I only looked at the pink tablets which used corn starch and were gluten-free: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/search.cfm?labeltype=all&query=Dulcolax

    I am not sure what your ttg levels were, but if it was 10x higher than the cut off you should be able to get a diagnosis based solely on your blood test. Talk to your doctor about this and if you don't feel comfortable eating gluten again for the biopsy let them know this. You are in charge of your health, so you don't have to eat gluten again if you don...

    If you want to PM me with the edit, I can do it for you after that time period passes. We had to add this time period in because spammers were using the edit window to go back to their posts and insert spam links.

    Be sure that your diet is 100%, and gluten-free keep in mind that it can take up to 2 years for your gut to fully heal, depending on the level of damage you may have. If you are going to a gastroenterologist now after the blood test they may want to do a biopsy, but you would need to be eating gluten daily for at least 2 weeks before this, otherwise the results...

    Many people like me who have a spouse or children who are not gluten-free (my wife and son are not gluten-free, and my son now goes to college in a different state) have to deal with this feeling from time to time. Feeling safe is a huge part of what your home should be about, and if you can't feel safe, especially in your childhood home with your parents...

    Our salads come with croutons, can't you just pull them off? (a clue you're in the wrong restaurant!)

    I agree with @trents that if you were gluten-free, or mostly gluten-free, for the months leading up to the blood test you cannot trust the results. Since you did seem to get some relief when you cut out gluten, and seem to also have linked large doses of gluten to periods where you have these "crashes," to me it sounds like you need to pursue the gluten...

    In my opinion the only way to blame this on celiac disease would be if it were untreated--in other words he may be cheating on his diet, or (and I don't know this and am just speculating here), maybe his parents are not properly administering/controlling his gluten-free diet. As a grandparent I do think it would be fair for you to ask his parents whether...

    It is possible the blood test was wrong, depending on what blood test they ran. If you could get the results and share them here it would be helpful. It's possible that your results were not zero, but perhaps a bit under the celiac disease "cut off" level, which can be misleading. Also, if you had an endoscope with "Sprue in my small bowel," it means...

    Is it possible she’s getting cross-contamination, which usually happens if you eat out, or that she could been cheating on her diet?

    11) No gluten, I would kill myself! (yes, I’ve heard this one several times)
  17. Scott Adams
    10) Celiac disease sounds psychosomatic to me, the gluten-free diet could be just a placebo effect. (a lawyer I worked for said this to me shortly after my diagnosis.)

    To continue your list: 8. ) Really, ___________ has gluten in it?! (add any obvious item here, a cake, pizza, crackers, bread, rolls, etc.) 9) Can’t you eat just a little bit, it’s really good? (add in any obvious gluten item). PS - This thread might be article worthy!

    We have a friend who has known me know for at least 15 years, and I've been gluten-free through the entire time. We've been over to their home over 100 times, and they have been over to ours over 100, yet, every time I eat at their home she serves things that are clearly not gluten-free, for example she'll put out wheat crackers with the cheese, and when...

    Welcome to the forum, and it sounds like you are on the right path now. Your symptoms sound a lot like what I went through during my final 2-3 months before going gluten-free. This article may be helpful:
