Does anyone have any idea what's going on or what I should do this is the 4th day make its kinda annoying me. Please Help!!!
Okay, look before you start a gluten-free diet, get tested. If you turn out positive there will never be a question about it in your mind, and it will give you a darned good reason to stay on the diet for life.
Get to your doc and at least ask for the following: total IgA; IgG & IgA gliadin; transglutaminase. Start there.
Then if all of those come back negative - which they can in some people even if they do have celiac issues - start the diet and see how your feel. You're going to need to cut out anything and everything with wheat, rye and barley in it. In some cases, oats need to be cut out, too. But wait and see on that.
In addition, check to see if you're cross-reactive to casein, the major protein in dairy. Some celiacs are and it can cause just as many problems.
Yeah my uncle had celiac disease. That sounds like a good possibility. I’ll have to try a gluten free diet. Any suggestions on good resources for a gluten free diet?
May sound strange, but does anyone in your family have food intolerance issues? Or celiac disease? The 'rash' that is produced with celiac can resemble 'hives.'
