    So, does that mean that it was ok that I was not eating gluten at the time? Do you think I would still show the antibodies after a couple of weeks?

    Sorry, meant Preventive Medicine Dr. The results: Transgluteminase IgA Autoantibodies, result < 4.0 (<4.0 indicates negative) Reticulin IgA autoantibodies, result <1:10, ref range <1:10 Endomyaial IgA, result <1:10, ref range <1:10 Gliadin IgG, result <10, ref range <10.0 Gliadin IgA, result <5.0, ref range <6.0

    I went a saw a preventative MD that ran a bunch of tests. One was a saliva test that showed positive gluten. When I saw my endo, I asked her to run a celiac panel but told her I had been gluten-free for 2-3 wks. She sd it would show positive for celiac, if I had it, because antibodies would still be present. Got my results and showed negative. Now, I...

    Well, at least I know I am not crazy. My family can't understand how I seemed fine and now "all of a sudden" I am sick. This whole thing came out of no where. I just went to a preventive/holistic MD and he did a few tests and all of a sudden a bunch of food allergies. I just had a celiac panel done and waiting results. This has been very depressing and...

    I have been gluten-free for a few weeks now. I have been careful not to have any cc, but Im pretty new to this. At the same time finding out about my food allergies, my thryoid was on the low range of normal and my medication was readjusted. Just came off of 4 days D, 1 day no bm, yesterday and today loose stool. I have days, like today, being tired...

    I am new to all of this and live in Macomb. Is there a GI doc you recommend in the area? Im waiting for my results from my celiac panel. Thanks

    After being dx, do you just have a gluten-free lifestyle and base your healing on symptoms? Does your MD run any routine bloodwork?

    Thanks for your replies, it really gave me clarification.

    I have read many posts about replacing utensils, pans, etc. I can understand replacing porous items, but unless something has a deep scratch that prevents it from being cleaned, isn't a thorough washing enough? Has it been shown that gluten can survive that? I dont want to come across the wrong way, but it sounds a little overboard to someone just learning...

    Had a saliva test and was gluten positive. I started gluten-free diet immediately (1 1/2 wks ago). I am going to my endo nxt wk and want her to run a celiac panel. How long and how much gluten do I need to eat? It sounds like many do need to eat much to have a reaction. I wouldnt have stopped so suddenly before further testing, but wasnt aware of celiac...

    Since Oct, I have steadily put on 15lbs. I have type 1 diabetes, hypothyrodism, and have been gluten-free for week and a half because salvia test was positive for gluten, soy, dairy, eggs. When I found this out, my Dr said thyroid very low, so increased my meds quite a bit. I keep a food log and keep my food intake to 1200-1400 cal a day. I had a metabolic...

    Does the digestive tract heal 100%? I cant imagine going through these symptoms for 6 months! Also, yesterday I felt pretty good, didnt feel to bloated, gas, etc. So far, I ate the identical foods as yesterday but today have the bloat, gas, etc. This really sucks!
  13. sharkmom
    I have been gluten, soy, dairy, and egg free for a week, but I still have a tremendous amount of gas, although definately less smelly . Could this be from the fruits & veggies? I thought the bloating and gas would have decreased. All I have been eating is chicken, fish, fruits, veggies, gluten-free cereal in am

    I am so new to this so dont really know, but I have a friend that was following eating for your body type. His type was to eliminate wheat, so he avoided the obvious wheat products, so not totally gluten-free as he did eat spelt bread. He said following it he never felt better in his life. Then, go off track and back to eating wheat and said he went through...

    Thanks for your replies. I am just surprised how lousy I am feeling, but I am trying to act as normal as possible and fight through the fatigue and be active like before. Haven't drank alcohol since the holidays, but might have a few this weekend.

    Been a week since going gluten-free. Kindof a fluke that I found out I have intolerance or possible celiac (along with dairy, soy, eggs). I always blamed gas, bloating, frequent bm with eating a lot of fruits and veggies. Type 1 diabetic so always ate a healthy diet and exercise daily, and always ate whole grain, high fiber carbs. Didnt think gluten-free...

    Very new to this gluten-free diet. Wondering if most avoid foods the are labeled :processed in a facility that also processes wheat. May contain traces. Is it common for cross contamination or do you find it's just a way for companies to protect themselves? I was going to eat some nuts today and didnt because of the label. It seems most say this. Thanks

    Went to a preventative/holistic MD. Had blood, hair, salvia, and stool analysis. Last week, I went in for results and my stool was positive for Gliadin Ab, SIgA (result 94, >15 = positive result), Milk Casein, Soy, Eggs. I also have Type 1 diabetes & hypothyroidism. Doc said to eliminate these things from diet. We really didn't talk too much about...

    It's funny you say that because last night I was telling husband how after this first week of being gluten-free, my appetite has significantly decreased.
  20. sharkmom
    Thanks, that is helpful. I always order seafood & plain veggies, so I just need to verify a understanding of cross contamination, marinades or spices. I know the Outback steakhouse has a gluten free menu too.

    Usually when my bs is high I get very tired, hunger, thirst. If they are low, I get confused, shaky, sweaty depending on how fast they drop. My md put me on progesterone to help start my period, but I couldn't take it because I felt very strange when I was on it.
  22. sharkmom
    Is this even possible? What should I tell the waiter? I am really new to this and could use the help. Thanks

    I recently had a stool sample that detected roundworm & tapeworm. The thought nauseates me. I was put on a couple supplements to get rid of it. Did you get retested to know it was gone? Please don't say I'll poop it out because I think I'll faint. BTW, I've been taking supplements for 2 weeks, how long does it take to get rid of it?

    On day 2 of eating gluten free because just diagnosed with allergy. My blood sugars are totally out of control. The only processed food I ate today (or yesterday) was 2 rice cakes. I have had diabetes for 28 years, so I have lots iof experience and know my body really good. I just cant figure out what is going on and thought maybe my body is doing something...

    It amazes me how sensitive some people are. I can't imagine it. I was thinking the same thing as far as how much causes reaction. I have gluten allergy as far as I know, but I chew Orbit gum that contains gycerol, natural flavoring, etc. Should I not be chewing it?
