I'm curious how many of you feel better on a Asia type diet (rice, poultry, fish, and vegetables)?

When I switched to this diet I felt so much better. Now I actually have energy after eating. I started this diet down in Mexico, because down there you just can't get any processed gluten free food.

Also I seem to have a problem with

I just wanted to thank you for making me smile with your funny topic title. I now have that song stuck in my head!! :D

As far as the eating Asian style food. I eat it ALL THE TIME!! It is very quick and easy to make, makes great leftovers, and is healthy and YUMMY!! I am always whipping up a stir-fry of some sort.

Your mention of bottled water interested me. I have been using spring water or purified water for the past couple weeks for cooking(think how much rice soaks up) and drinking, and I really have to limit skin contact with chlorinated water. Feel much better for doing so.

I was doing another search for info on chlorine allergies recently and got a hit at www.ecolivingcenter.com. Someone named Joseph Mathews did a posting about chlorine in drinking water and said he took prescription

CHLORD/CLIDI CAP 5-2.5MG twice a day

which is a anticholinergic and benzodiazepine combination, and he was searching for a possible alternative - but didn't say why.

I haven't done any follow-up research but plan on looking into it.

I got a reply when I did a post elsewhere months ago asking about alkalinity of water related to skin and scalp problems from someone in Scotland putting in a water filtration system, sounded like she/I have same problems.

Do any of you know if "Talking Rain" flavored water is gluten-free?

      Malt vinegar

      Yes, unfortunately malt vinegar can definitely trigger a strong reaction in people with celiac disease. Malt vinegar is typically made from barley, which contains gluten, and unlike distilled white vinegar, it is not considered gluten-free. Even a small amount — especially if you’ve been strictly gluten-free for years — can cause a more intense reaction becau...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      A diagnosis of Refractory Celiac Disease Type 2 is a lot to absorb, especially if you feel like the severity wasn’t clearly communicated earlier. It’s understandable to feel shocked and frustrated. RCD Type 2 does require close specialist care, often with a gastroenterologist who has experience managing complex celiac cases, and sometimes coordination wit...

      Celiac Disease, Lymphocytic colitis and Bowel rupture

      I’m so sorry you’ve been through all of that — that’s an incredibly complex history. While methotrexate is widely used at low weekly doses for autoimmune conditions, it can, in rare cases, cause serious gastrointestinal side effects, including ulceration, mucosal injury, or even perforation. That said, a spontaneous sigmoid rupture from methotrexate at 15 m...

      Malt vinegar

      Yes, I've reacted to malt anything . . . it does come from barley. I'm super careful to avoid anything containing malt or even maltodextrin unless it's labeled from corn.

      Malt vinegar

      Having avoided gluten well for many years I think I may have had a salad with Malt Vinegar and it was one of the worst 'attacks' I have experienced. I just want to know if anyone else has been so badly affected by malt vinegar.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

Malt vinegar is typically made from barley, which contains gluten, and unlike distilled white vinegar, it is not considered gluten-free. Even a small amount — especially if you’ve been strictly gluten-free for years — can cause a more intense reaction because your body is no longer accustomed to exposure. Many people report significant symptoms after accidental ingestion, including abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, or flu-like feelings. You’re not alone in that experience. It may help to be especially cautious with salad dressings, chips, sauces, and restaurant foods, where malt vinegar is sometimes used.

It’s understandable to feel shocked and frustrated. RCD Type 2 does require close specialist care, often with a gastroenterologist who has experience managing complex celiac cases, and sometimes coordination with hematology because of the immune cell changes involved. Focusing on nutrition is absolutely important — many people benefit from working with a registered dietitian who specializes in celiac disease to help address malabsorption, weight loss, and vitamin or mineral deficiencies. You’re doing the right thing by seeking information and support. Make sure you feel comfortable asking your care team direct questions about your biopsy results, treatment plan, and monitoring strategy — you deserve clarity and a coordinated approach.

      Celiac Disease, Lymphocytic colitis and Bowel rupture

      I’m so sorry you’ve been through all of that — that’s an incredibly complex history. While methotrexate is widely used at low weekly doses for autoimmune conditions, it can, in rare cases, cause serious gastrointestinal side effects, including ulceration, mucosal injury, or even perforation. That said, a spontaneous sigmoid rupture from methotrexate at 15 mg weekly is extremely uncommon. In people with celiac disease — especially refractory celiac — there can already be underlying intestinal inflammation or altered mucosal integrity, which might theoretically increase vulnerability, but there isn’t strong published evidence clearly linking stable celiac disease to a markedly higher risk of methotrexate-related bowel perforation. Other factors such as concurrent inflammation, vascular compromise, infection, steroid use, or microscopic colitis may also contribute. It would be reasonable to review the case with a gastroenterologist familiar with refractory celiac and possibly a rheumatologist, and to report the event as a potential adverse drug reaction. I’d also be very interested to hear if others in the community have had similar experiences.
