Just wanted to put it out there that many people with IBS actually have Celiac Disease. Im NOT implying that ALL or most with IBS do have Celiac, just that it commonly happens that a Celiac will be misdiagnosed as only having IBS.
The blood test for Celiac disease is only 75% accurate in the first place. You can test negative when actually totally Celiac, or gluten intolerant.
Major note, it is HARD to get out all gluten and people who THINK they are eating gluten free and see no results thus giving up, may have missed their chance for freedom. Gluten is in so many food people do not realize!
Even crosscontamination will keep a Celiac sick, meaning if you are eating something like lays potatoe chips that have no gluten ingrediant you will still get 100-3000 ppm of gluten simply because the product ran across the same belt. IT ONLY TAKES 50ppm to KEEP you sick! So do the research and find out how to go TRULY Gluten Free, not even ONE bite intentionally.
Also most DO go through detox so to speak and you often get sicker the first 1-3 months before you get better.
I also suffered with panic attacks, phobias, brain fog, vertigo, chronic fatigue, joint pain etc...all from celiac....and all symptoms cleared up after going gluten free.
I pray at least one person who actually has Celiac Disease passes by this thread and reads it finding freedom from hell as I have. <3
God Bless!!!
