First I went on the SCD diet, thinking I could be celiac and figured if it was IBS, it could help that also. After my biopsy, which totally ruled out Celiac, the doctor told me it was "just" IBS. I was still having problems like spasms, D and urgency after being on the SCD diet for months (lost a ton of weight though...lol). But when I tried to get back on to some of the carbs, it just didn't agree with me. And going back on wheat just gave me headaches. So, I try to combine all the different things about all the different diets that agree with me. Luckily I have a great friend who's a fantastic cook that has been diagnosed Celiac. She supplies me with many great recipes that are wheat free and even adapts them to lower fat for me. Basically my diet follows Heather's book primarily, with a low carb twist, somewhat wheat free (I can tolerate some wheat), and honey or rice syrup substituted for sugar.
It's a chore, but it's clearly evident that it's working. Mother's day I deviated due to a brunch and I paid for it yesterday (green chili/jack cheese blintz....thought it was a tortilla/chili.....lol). If you're testing for Celiac, go on this diet, you'll find out quickly if it is what you need. I wouldn't rely on anything but a biopsy/endoscopy to rule OUT Celiac. The other tests are too fallible.
