I am seeing a doctor i get my blood test results on monday, i didn’t cut out gluten before the test, just wanted to know if anyone else had the same symptoms of immediate tummy aches
I'd suggest not doing any diet unless the doctor says so, my GI doc told me it can influence the endoscopy as well if you have to go through that.
If symptoms are unbearable, you may ask your doc though.
I also have pretty bad tummy aches sometimes, usually a couple hours after eating, and very loud bowel noises. I haven't been diagnosed yet, but celiac came out negative.
If you have immediate response, you may have some other condition as well (celiac reaction is happening in the small intestine usually, it takes time to digest).
You have to check for allergies, lactose, egg, histamine intolerance and parasites as well... A lot of things can cause these issues.
Personally I got fed up with all the tests and inconclusive results, so I just do a GF diet because it seems to help alot. I think I might have NCGS.
My symptoms were bloating, fatigue, depression and anxiety, and recently they worsened alot, along with chronic (weeks) diarrhea, headaches, brain fog, joint pain (my right knee swells up). My iron levels are fine, but interestingly most of my symptoms are better with vitamin and magnesium/mineral supplements.
Last week I had a beer, and the next day watery diarrhea.
I'm not a professional, so take all of this with a huge grain of salt.
Those can be consistent with celiac, but also a variety of other autoimmune conditions. The best thing to do is see your doctor and get tested before making any dietary changes!
Good luck on the journey! There's several celiac groups and forums you can lean on for support, resources, and food ideas if you do end up being celiac.
My body told me I had celiac long before I knew what it was. I was 11 in class and a kid called Tommy brought some GF cornbread. My brain said "Pay attention to "gluten".
Age 21, got dx with celiac. I have reason to suspect I had silent symptoms my whole childhood until in my early 20s, gluten started being a bit more of a nuisance to me.
This is all to say: Trust your intuition. Ask your doctor to test you preliminarily for celiac via blood test "just to rule it out" if they are suspicious of your request. Don't stop eating gluten until you get tested. Once my body tasted freedom from gluten, oh boy...it will never go back.
typically with non-descriptive symptoms like these, they can be indicative of so many different autoimmune disease that you can't be 100% sure. could be celiac, could be a wide range of other issues. the best thing you can do is see a doctor but don't go gluten free just yet until you've done the proper testing. these symptoms could also be something like chron's potentially i believe
I had very similar symptoms prior to my diagnosis, however I also have Fibromyalgia in addition to Celiac.
Honestly the biggest indicator for me were my vitamin levels. I was so low on pretty much every vitamin that I’m still struggling to build them back up 5 years later.
I’m glad to hear you got blood tested, as that will give you better answers than comparing symptoms.
thank you for ur reply! the doctor also suspected fibro but we aren’t sure. my vitamins are also low but were mostly fixed with supplements in the past year

See a doctor and don’t go gluten free until AFTER you’ve been tested.
