I hope you didn't think I meant to imply not to get the test, certainly you already know you have some type of gluten intolerance. I wish you the best on Tues I go on Monday. But I would talk to your dr. further about his reasonings for having you go off gluten before the tests, maybe he has his reasonings, it does seem to be a very unchartered territory...

I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but there isn't a single Dr. or nurse in the field that I have talked to that would test me without eating gluten. I was off gluten for a while about 2 months (still learning so I did have some in my system) and have been on it for 2 weeks now he is testing me next week because I am so sick and wouldn't put me through...

I have been back on gluten for about a week now. Sick as a dog, all I do is sleep and my hands ar all swollen and I actually feel like someone beat me up. I'm doing this for the biopsy, but as I sit here you would wonder why. I also felt like I ate a handfull of rocks, so yes your sypmtoms are real. My husband cant believe that he can see the effects...

I dont know if this is the same thing, but I always thought I had an "onion" issue. Could no longer eat them gas bloating and terrible indigestion. I was off gluten for a while and had absolutely no problem tolerating onions. Now I am back on gluten for the biopsy and everything (including onions) feel like a rock in my stomach. Seems like it takes a...

Thanks for all your input. I go to the GI dr on Thursday. I guess the confirmation for me and my son as well as making sure there is nothing else wrong may keep me going, bloated and all. Thanks again its nice to have some understanding and helpful advice. I am trying to be positive and look at it like I have a free pass to eat anything I want because...

Hi Relatively new here and I have a question I couldn't find the answer to. I had a positive IGA Gliadin, Felt a million times better on a gluten free diet, and finally got my Dr to listen to me and get me into a GI Doc. I have 2 friends (nurses with GI Docs) and a nutritionist who says it is important to be diagnosed (for other family members and just...

Hi Can you tell me what you mean by this. This is all new to me and trying to get my arms around everything is tough. Thanks

My results were the same elevated Gliadin IGA and I am not getting anywhere with my Dr. who told me I may have a mild case of it and the only thing I can do is stay away from gluten. Getting sick for 3 days after eating something I shouldnt is enough for me to quit the gluten but would also love to know if it is celiacs or not. I meet with him on 4-9...

Hi Just wanted to say thanks for all this great info here. I have a few questions heres my history. Forever I have complained about terrible stomach pains and const. resulting in diar. after 4-5 days. Doc sent me home with Metamucil. For the last year I have been searching for the reason of my exhaustion (everyone is tired is not an answer I...
