ARCHIVED Feeling Like A Squeezed Orange
MIB replied to MIB's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm sorry to hear that, Amy, but I can totally sympathize. My endo is on January 10th so what I'm trying to do now is just enjoy every morsel of bread I can consume, despite the obvious pain. It's sort of a meditation really. Either that or a sick form of torture. -
ARCHIVED Feeling Like A Squeezed Orange
MIB posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hey folks. 2 weeks into my 6-week gluten challenge after 35 days off. Mostly, I'm feeling like a squeezed orange. I check back here periodically to see what everyone's saying about what, but whether or not my endoscopy confirms my equivocal blood work, I'm assuming that a gluten-free diet is in order.

ARCHIVED Consensus On Which Blood Test Best Indicates Celiac?
MIB posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hello folks. Like many might during the discovery phase, I have been doing a lot of research while waiting for more results to come in. Doc and I have just decided to extend the 3-week gluten binge to six weeks, assuming I am still managing to pack it away that long. Today was day four. I had been off gluten only 35 days.

ARCHIVED Symptoms Better On Nexium?!?!
MIB replied to kpryan's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Can we get an update kpryan? Did you have the endoscopy? How long were you back on gluten and how much gluten were you eating? Did you test positive for celiac? I am going through a challenge now and am interested in as many anecdotal reports as possible. Thanks! -
ARCHIVED How Long A Challenge After A Month Off Gluten?
MIB replied to MIB's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks for your thoughts, Dixie. I wonder if anyone here has done a challenge - how long gluten-free and then how long of a challenge - and tested positive? I read a lot of posts asking about challenges and a lot of equivocal advice, but has anyone been through this and gotten a positive result? Thanks. -
ARCHIVED How Long A Challenge After A Month Off Gluten?
MIB posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hey folks. I'm new here. Seen a lot of information regarding gluten challenges for people who have been off 12 weeks, 6 months, years, etc. I know it takes time for the villi to be worn down again after they heal, but I have only been off gluten for 35 days. My first GI ignored my gliadin antibodies, claiming they were equivocal but not thinking that...
