Really Confused

I am in the process of figuring this all out. I went on an elimination diet and figured out that gluten was causing a whole spectrum of issues (I think).  My frustration is that when adding things back in, rice is giving me issues. Not the lack of nutrient white rice, but the better for you red and black. When I look at the premade gluten free items, most use rice flour or a rice base. I am doing well using almond or other nut flours, but few commercial things are made with those.

 

Is it common to be reactive to other grains? I am very lost as I have not been DX by a physician and am only guessing at this point what is happening. Prior to coming here I read scientific journals and medical journals to get a baseline knowledge. I now know "glutens" in various forms are in all grains...so not sure how to figure out which ones my body hates.

Hi Harley

 

Welcome to the forum. Glad you've figured out that gluten is an issue. Have you been tested for Celiac?

Some people do indeed develop problems with other gluten-free grains like rice. It could be a temporary thing while your body is healing. For example, I have trouble digesting the "good" rices, like whole-grain brown rice, etc. And even too much white rice on its own can irritate things sometimes. I figure it's just too much fibre for my system to handle. Of course, that's just my experience.

 

I'd keep an eye on it (try a food journal if you're not already doing that), or try cutting out rice for a little while and see if it makes a difference.

 

In any case, even though other grains have their own type of "gluten" it's not the kind that Celiacs/Gluten Intolerant people react to.

 

Probably others here have better advice.

      I have been dealing with this same issue for our son who has Down’s Syndrome and Celiac Disease. Insurance, (Medicaid) outright will not cover the Gluten Free which is a capsule under the brand name Tirosint and another manufactured by Lanette and a third by Yaral.    Just yesterday, Medicare (not Medicaid) finally approved it but this was after 6 months of paying out of pocket to the tune of $148.00 a month! It’s been a nightmare. If his dose changes, we have to repeat the process!  His dose changed three times in a month! Thyroid management is a moving target as it is with Celiac Disease greatly compounding the issue. Very frustrating.

      Thanks Scott.  That's why I was hoping for a recommendation of a place known to be safe.  Jenny

      Thank you so much.  It helps just knowing there is a connection and it's not my imagination.    I am seeking help from a nutritionist and will talk to my PC about inflammation marker testing - thank you.  During one flare I went to see an ophthalmologist because my symptoms were so severe.  He didn't draw any connection but just said that my eyes were extremely dry and recommended drops, which I use.  However, when a flare develops, the drops are only marginally effective.   I think I've eliminated one source of contamination.  We had 20 chickens until less than a month ago, when we sold that property.   Although I scrubbed after feeding and taking care of the chickens, the feed is mostly wheat and I'm sure I had to be inhaling wheat 'dust' every day.   I'm feeling like there will be improvement.   Thank you so much for your reply, the help and suggestions.

      Thank you so much for your response! Does this mean that each of my parents on their own may not have HLA-DQ8 but combined together gave me HLA-DQ8?

      Any chance you are getting traces of gluten in your diet? This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
