▲ 1 r/Celiac

So about halfway through last summer I started having stomach problems, it would hurt after eating....started randomly. My dad has celiac so I started to look and see if it was after eating gluten but didnt really seem to be from any certain type of food or reason. Throughout the fall it got more and more common until it was happening daily and then almost every time I ate anything. In December I decided to go gluten free to see if that would change anything, as my parents (I am still on their insurance plan) wouldnt let me get tested for celiac even though I told them the only way to get tested is to do it while I am still eating gluten and its stilling my system. Anyways eventually my stomach problems went away almost completely except for on rare occasions. Then about a week ago I decided to eat a bite of a regular gluten cookie to see if it would make me sick.​ I had been eating things contaminated with gluten but not actual things full of it because I was going on a trip to Europe and want my body to be used to it enough that I wouldnt get sick if my food was accidentally contaminated at some of the restaurants while we were there. Anyways since I tested eating a bite of that cookie I felt fine for about 12 hours or so (was overnight so I was asleep) until the next day when I ate lunch and then my stomach problems started again of hurting every time I eat and they usually start almost immediatelyafter I finish eating or even while I am still easting sometimes. This happened about a week ago and is still continuing though I have had no gluten since. These are nothing like my dad's symptoms of celiac but has anyone else delt with something similar? Please help! Any recommendations?
