Folic Acid Intolerance?!?!?

So after a bunch of experimentation, I am 99% sure that I fine with gluten but have a folic acid intolerance. I did a bunch of tests, and everything that has folic acid in it (usually enriched flour), I had terrible problems, but breads without folic acid I can eat all day. Every breakfast cereal makes me throw up, but I just found Trader Joe's puffins (no folic acid) and I'm fine. I mention this because I've been on and off this board for 18 months trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with me, and just to put it out there for future people with non-celiac gluten intolerance to consider. I really haven't seem much on this (very little on google, one person posting on this board a while back), so if anyone knows anything about  this, I'd appreciate info. As always, I am enormously grateful to everyone here for the help and support!

Just curious.  What is your level  (or has been) of your folate?

No idea what my folate level is, but I eat a lot of spinach and other high-folate foods without a problem. Apparently folic acid is an artifical, more stable, version of the naturally occuring folate (I'm learning as I go!).

Have you done SIBO testing? My endo told me that bad bacteria in the gut will cause higher folic acid levels. Of course, in my case i was supplementing with a b complex which could also have been the cause.  But high levels can cause gastro symptoms and even a zinc deficiency. 

Get them checked and see where your levels are at. 

Awesome username btw....

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Not Sure What to Think

      By MMH13 · Posted

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.
