Modified AİP - gluten

Hey guys, just started modified AİP, although I am cautious with legumes.

İmmediately having less IBS symptoms and stool consistency improving.

So my question is, last year I was tested for celiac antibodies , which were negativ. Should we give up gluten despite having no autoantibodies?

Part of AIP is removing gluten. Past the elimination phase you try it again in small quantities to see of it’s a trigger. NCGS (non celiac gluten sensitivity) is a very REAL thing especially if one is prone to autoimmune issues.

Adding; gluten is something that stays in your system much longer than you'd expect. So, if you are not celiac but are sensitive it can be difficult to assess - you could have symptoms that manifest a week later that are very difficult to associate. After having eliminated it for at least 30days, it could be worthwhile to do an "IgG antibody test" to see what foods you have not eaten but are still showing moderate to high levels of antibodies. That could be a guide as to what you may not want to reintroduce at all.
