You have to be eating a fair amount of gluten and biopsies don't always catch damage because it can be patchy and the villi has to be 80% destroyed for it to be considered celiac.<br />Timing is different for everyone. It took a few months before the rocks in abdomen feeling went away along with the feeling that my insides were being scraped. I still get twinges sometimes, but a lot better.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051904118383493849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-562073528859409256.post-40055263594478562742015-04-09T12:06:10.584-05:002015-04-09T12:06:10.584-05:00I have seen two people I care about go from starvi...I have seen two people I care about go from starving to death to health after giving up gluten. So thankful they figured it out on their own even though their tests came back negative. I think those tests have a lot of false negatives.<br /><br />I have been gf for about five days now to see if it helps my ibs. No change yet. How long did it take you to see a difference? My boy seemed to see a difference within a few days.

But, it would be nice.

I'm struggling to bake a good sourdough loaf again but as I say, even the flops taste good. I think or perhaps know I also have the problem with wheat but with a ton of other things too. That is why I'm doing the fermentation. I hear there is a special diet out there (GAPS DIET) that if I stick to it for a while, the gut will heal. I read wheat belly too but I had more affecting me than just the wheat. <br />Good luck with the gluten.Manzanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467261212623663365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-562073528859409256.post-86811607767004434722015-04-08T16:32:29.379-05:002015-04-08T16:32:29.379-05:00I would imagine it must be difficult for you to fi...I would imagine it must be difficult for you to find foods which are truly gluten free. It does seem, though, that awareness of celiac has increased and that there is more of a selection.lyndagracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530605081989558341noreply@blogger.com
