Question Advice Please
Hi, Im coming on here as a final result looking for any advice or comments, not just the basic ones I usually see. I tested positive in blood tests for celiac disease in February 2026, after losing my period which I have not got back still. I get very bloated and struggle with constipation, but these symptoms have not gone away since being on a GF diet. I finally have my endoscopy booked for the beginning of november but have not been eating gluten as the idea now scares me and makes me worried about the costipation/bloating it will cause. How much gluten do i need to eat? The doctor said to start eating it two weeks before? Also how likely is it that i really am celiac, as I ate gluten my whole life normally before this. I have had multiple different opinions about why i lost my period, at first they thought it was from low bmi/calorie intake, but i am sure I eat more than enough calories and have always had a low bmi due to my natural frame. I cant take the bloating i struggle with in my lower stomach anymore and need some advice for my endoscpy/how to get rid of bloating/ how to get my period back. i feel as though i have tried every supplement!
