    That makes sence. It seems like I've gotten a new allergie. Normally I only react to pollen, and only in spring and early summer. It also seems unrelated to whether I'm indoors or out, if it's sunny or rain, home or at work. Can't think of what I'm exposed to everywhere? Whatever it is, hopefully it will go away when I'm done with this challange in a week...

    I'm gaining weight, how can that be? I vomit almost every day and often 4-5 times and I have diarrhea to the pont that I worry I'll get dehydrated, and still I'm GAINING weight! How is that physically posible?

    My allergies are normally very manageable, but has been getting worse the last week or two, and the last few days its been driving me crazy. Is this one more thing for which gluten can be blamed, or most likely unrelated?

    I have realised the last two months, beeing on a gluten challange form my normal glutenfree-light diet, that most of my health conserns are gluten related. I havet been totaly glutenfree, and these things have come and gone without me conecting it to gluten, but now they are all realy just coming and not so much going. But could realy all of this be symptoms...

    Interesting. Im having a biopsi done in less than two weeks, after the test showd DGP IgG of 10 (normal <7, positive >10) and very strong symptomes of celiac with heavy reactions to gluten, but every other blood value normal. I realy feel like this could go eather way, and I don't know if I should hope for a positive for celiac, as that would provide...

    Thank you First i think I'll stop adding pea protein to everything i bake for her. Last night she fell asleep without complaining about pain, she slept like a baby all night, without tossing and turning like she usually doesand this morning she slept an hour longer than usual, so she seems to be getting better

    I feel so for you and your little girl.This reminds me of when my daughter was the same age. She would have dihorrea all the time, stopped eating, stopped growing, was fussy and irritabel night and day. After having seen three doctors who said it was all normal for babies to be fussy and crying (it was not for my baby, she had been happy, calm, sleeping well...

    Due to stomace pain and D/C my 3,5 year old daughter has just been tested for celiac (think this is her 4th celiac test). She could not have gluten when she was younger, but has never tested positive for celiac. We reintrodused gluten almost a year ago, and she seemed to handle it fine, so she has not been gluten free after that. Then she started complaining...

    I'we been on a gluten challange now for a little more than a month, and I am starting to develope an itch that is driving me nuts! It's mostly on my upper body, arms, inside my ears and nose, face, chest and scalp, but no rash at all. It comes and goes, but the last few days it's been coming more than going, just getting worse by the day, and keeping me awake...

    Thanks for the advices I got her glutenfree crispbread and a kind breakfastbread that she really likes today, and baked a loaf of glutenfree bread based on a mix but added proteins and fiber, eggs and butter to make it tasty and healty. She was realy impressed Will bake more stuff tomorrow, I have a load of gultefree recipes, as I normaly avoid gluten...
  12. Mum in Norway
    Thank you for all your insights! I just talked to the doctor. Told him I still strongly suspected gluten even thoug the tests for celiac were negative, and we agreed to make her glutefree for a while to see if she felt any better. He said it coud be NCGI or just a sensitive gut of some sort, but she has been throu so many tests now, that it seems the best...
  13. Mum in Norway
    Is it posible to tell them apart from the symptoms? My daughter is 3,5 years old, and had issues with gluten that startes 2,5 years ago. She was tested for celiac (only bloodtests, and I never saw the results) but test came back negative. We took her off gluten when she was a year, and she was fine without. Along with the doctor we did several challanges...
  14. Mum in Norway
    To me that sounds like a reaction to gluten. But if you think you can do it, ingest 'normal' amounts for a while and then get tested for celiac. That way you will know. Some people with celiac will not notice if they ingest gluten, they get no or minimal symptoms, but their intestine still gets damaged just the same.
  15. Mum in Norway
    I think thats a very short challange for a biopsi? Sins you have been glutenfree for some time, it will take a while to get your gutts nice and damaged... If you want to be sure the test result is as accurat as posible, you should probably put the biopsi of for a bit. Me, I'v been eating very little gluten for many years, but not been glutenfree. I did...
  16. Mum in Norway
    What test(s) was it that you had done? If you want to be tested propperly for celiac you have to be ingesting gluten.
  17. Mum in Norway
    I would strongly recomend that you do coplete celiac blood work instesd of, or in addision to the home test. That way you test for all the posible anti bodies to gluten, not just one, and your answer will be much more reliable. I took the home test 6-7 years ago, and then again a year later, but as it was negative both times i concluded it was just gluten...

    It's hard to say, but it could be. These are mostly not classic celiac symptoms, but celiac can present in many different ways. It's a good thing you're being tested, hope you get your answers and that you soon will know what is thet matter, so that you can get what ever treetment you need. Good luck to you!

    To make a short question long (feel free to skip this part): I have known for many years that bread, pasta and other wheat-based products make me unwell. I have gradualy come to have a diet that doesen't include many of these foods, but without beein totaly glutenfree. About 6-7 years ago I did the bloodtest for celiac that you can do at home, it came back...

    What did the doc say? I have had a rash that looks just like that, only more read, my whole life, have just reasently started to wonder if it might be DH...

    ...if my face feels numb after ingesting gluten?
  22. Mum in Norway
    On my tests only the DGP- IgG was positive, but that was enough for my doc to send me on for a biopsy. IgA is the most common indicator to use, but not the only one, you chould have a full celiac panel done. But if your only syptom is weight loss it could be a nuber of other things, whye do you think it is celiac?
  23. Mum in Norway
    Thank you nvsmom! I was beginning to get a sneaking suspicion that random stomace- and joint pain is not as normal as I have been told growing up... She had her test today (only blood test, her doctor is on an hollyday, so diden't get to talk to him or hear his opinion), and she knows it was so that the doctor can see if her body needs glutenfree food....
  24. Mum in Norway
    I desided to have her tested, so we have an appointment tomorrow. Over the weekend she har almost stopped eating, she will only have fruit, vegies or popsicles, and freaks out if we try to give her something like bread or cerial, as she ays they hurt her stomace and make her legs ace. She knows about 'glutenfree', as she has been glutenfree before, but she...
  25. Mum in Norway
    Hi and welcome! I don't know what tests to ask for, at the whole testing prosess is different in norway. But I would like to say that if you feel that gluten is the issue, the stick to the plan end get proppely tested. Doctores should treat theire patients with respect and undrestanding, even if they dissagree with them. If you for some reason can not...
