Thanks for the perspective. I think I was hoping for an Open & Shut, Black & White, Aha! answer but instead I've got an Ajar, Gray, Huh? answer.

I've been gluten free for about six weeks (for the most part but I've made some mistakes) and I'm still have lots of bathroom issues. Reviewing what I've eaten it seems that tomatoes and potatoes are causing me to have diarrhea within an hour of eating them. So I'll be giving up those for a while now, too. I'm not sure I'm ever going to get this all...

Speaking of tests, this is what I have. Where these enough tests to have had done? Everything looks pretty negative to me. IGA, Serum Result: 270 (Normal 81-463) Gliadin(deamidated, Ab, (Iga) Result: 3 (< 20 antibody not detected) Tissue Transglutaminase AB IGA Result: <3 (<5 negative)

My celiac test came back negative. I haven't had any pasta so haven't needed the strainer. I have been using the same toaster rather than getting a new one though I do have my own butter and clearly marked it as "gluten-free!". I think I'll stay away from my gluten-free toast for a while. Thanks for your insight!

I went to lunch at Bertucci's today and ordered off their gluten free menu. Sausage soup and Caesar salad. Had a bad case of D about 30 minutes after I was done eating. What am I doing wrong? Maybe it's not a gluten intolerance after all?

I've been on a gluten free diet for about a month now. There have been a couple of mistakes made, I freely admit. I've been seeing some slight improvement in my D, which is really the main thing I was interested in clearing up. (I also have rosacea, fatigue, acne, Hoshimoto's). The past few days, I've only been going to the bathroom 2-3 times a day and...

I had a blood test last month for Celiac Disease and it came back negative. I've decided, based on having Hashimoto's, that I was going to try going gluten free for a while to see if it improved my health. (fatigue, 6+ loose BM's a day, Rosacea being my main complaints). After a couple of weeks, I thought I was starting to see an improvement. Now, for...

I went to my GI Dr. to schedule a routine colonoscopy (family history) and based on our conversation about my bathroom habits, she decided to run a Celiac Panel. She also ran an Adult Food Allergy test and gave me a take-home Hydrogen Breath Test for Lactose intolerance. I had the blood drawn on the 12th and am still waiting to hear back. My symptoms...
