Could you all give me your opinions on whether you think I should remain eating GF since I am still struggling with all these horrid symptoms. My story is in the post above this one. How I had the blood work come back highly postive on two of the test IGG and IGA, that I had done twice. But I had a negative biopsy and negative scores on the one blood test that is most specific for celiac disease.
But my symptoms have not improved since being on this GF diet for almost 1 1/2 years now. Except now I have chronic C instead of chronic D.
Linz asked why I continue to eat GF if I don't feel better. Which is something I ask myself. What do you guys think?
Do you guys feel better eating GF or do you still have pain, cramps, gas, constipation, bloat. I know Mary must eat GF because she is definately celiac. But do you guys I need to? I am in a quandry.
The expense, restrictions, stress, and inconvience of eating GF is so life altering, so why do I do it if it doesn't seem to be making me feel any better?? I would love to be able to eat gluten again if it were safe and if it didn't make me feel worse. But the postive antibodies are telling me something, are'nt they???
You can read more in my post to Linz below on why I still eat GF. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
