Q
heey! oh gosh this is really random :$ but i was searching posts related to celiac hoping to find someone with it! i got my blood test results and tested positive. I still need to go for a biopsy for confirmation but i've been feeling absolutely terrible for the past month. I switched to the gluten free diet a week ago. I was just wondering, how long did it take for you to feel better? and did you have up and down days even after the switch like feel great one day and wanna die the next? thanks!

hello :) I got sick about 4 years ago with IBS because I was having stomach symptoms that wouldn’t go away.  A year later I got a blood test and had one of the two genetic markers for celiac.  I eventually got an endoscopy and they found I had some irritation in my small intestine. I’ve also never had a colonoscopy.  After that I started eating gluten free and corn syrup free(since that also bothers me) and I felt better within a few weeks.  If you truly have celiac it may take longer, my doc told me people with celiacs could take up to a year to feel better depending on how much damage you have done to yourself.  And yes I do have my good days and bad, depending on what I eat.  Find out what your triggers are.  It might take a while but you will feel better one day! Good luck and feel better!
