I've got a seriously bloated belly.

Going for some sort of procedure next week to determine what the hell is wrong with my strange body. They reckon I could be coeliac so have me eating a serious amount of bread and wheat.

I hate eating bread, I haven't eaten it in over a year.

I've blisters all over my mouth and the thoughts of having another slice is killing me.

UGH!

What? That's awful! I didn't think you needed to eat bread to do the coeliac test at all?? You still have the antibodies regardless AFAIK.

I think the antibodies say in your system for 6months(could be wrong) but it's really difficult to get a proper diagnoses of coeliac after the antibody test you the go into your small intestine and have a look at your villi then take a bit out and look at them again but if they're not completly ruined you don't have it! It makes no sense, if they're on there way to being nothing but tiny stubs you can eat as much gluten as you want!

*I think that's what I've found out from being online but it might be a bit different in this country I don't know*

Have you already been tested for the antibodies?

I thought they went the other way down your esophagus (dyslexia made me spell that assofigus )

Best of luck with it

I had both a gastroscopy and a colonoscopy at the same time when I was checked out

Been to the doc today, I had a blood test in 2008(2009?) my thyroid was over 9 and I wasn't told. I'm fairly sure it went worse than that and hit it's worse in late 2010-early 2011.

We were talking and well I'd done my homework! I starting asking about the conversion t4 to t3, hashimotos, adrenal gland, cortisol, gluten antibodies.

So he said he'd check those out, he told me to eat a 'normal' diet for the gluten test, I don't know if I can and still eat healthy. All I can think of is porridge, some oatcakes.

Gluten and wheat has become such unhealthy things in my head that I'm struggling on how to eat them and be healthy.

Also my toaster hasn't been used for over a year, I've no idea if it still works!

You maybe interested in getting some supplies from Kelkin as an alternative to porridge,oat cakes etc.

The porridge is a fiver for something like a 400g/500g box! I'm not paying that much. And as well as that I'm trying to eat gluten not avoid it, it's for the blood test so you need to be eating gluten to produce the antibodies that they look for. If I stick to gf I could just end up with a false negative.

OK, so you know gluten is bad for you... why eating more of it and making yourself even more sick? Just to get official diagnosis? Sorry, but I don't really see any benefit of this process...

[Stench Blossoms]

I'd be more comfortable with a doctor diagnosing me than self diagnosis.

It's been moved to Tuesday so I don't have to do it for much longer.
