It must really stink to have to wear your gluten intolerance on the outside! I'm really sorry about that. I hope it helps to know we're all here for you! Hang in there!

I know exactly what you mean, about people staring at you like they don't want to get next to you, they might catch it. When I first got DH I always covered as much skin as possible then came summer, I finally came to the conclusion that this is me and I have a terrible disease, which is enough to worry about, I'm not about to go on worrying about what people are thinking so I woar my shorts this summer and even put a swimsuit on!!!!! That was a big achievement for me! Best of luck to you. Oh yea, I'm very sensitive to everything also, even if I do everything I'm suppose to I can still get an outbreak-who knows why? Do you think stress makes yours worse????

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly. Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO? Are you taking any Benfotiamine? Benfotiamine will help get control of the SIBO. Thiamine deficiency has symptoms in common with MS. Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks? Carbon Monoxide poisoning...

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States. In European countries, different cooking methods and longer fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat. Gluten content can...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      From my own experience and that of others who have tried to discontinue PPI use, I think your taper down plan is much too aggressive. It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Talk to your doctor about switching to an antihistamine, and supplementing essential vitamins and minerals. Dietary changes (low carb/paleo) may be beneficial for you. Have you talked to a dietician or nutritionist about a nutrient dense gluten free diet? It's harder to get all the vitamins needed from a gluten free diet. Gluten containing products are...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      I’m pretty sure they do. I have been on myfortic, tacrolimus since 2021 for my liver transplant and added prednisone after kidney transplant. I’m going to try to cut back omeprazole to 20 mg a day and then after a week try to stop altogether. Thank you for your help.

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly.   Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO?   Are you taking any Benfotiamine?  Benfotiamine will help get control of the SIBO.  Thiamine deficiency has symptoms in common with MS. Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks?  Carbon Monoxide poisoning can cause the same symptoms as the flu and glutening.  Doctors have to check venous blood (not arterial) for carbon monoxide.  Are other inhabitants sick, or just you?  Do they leave the house and get fresh air which relieves their symptoms?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States.   In European countries, different cooking methods and longer  fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat.  Gluten content can vary according to where the wheat was grown, growing conditions, when harvested, and local preference, so a blend of both hard and soft wheat is used to make a uniform product.   I moved around quite a bit as a child in a military family.  I had different reactions to gluten in different areas of the country every time we moved.  I believe some wheat breeds and blends are able to provoke a worse immune response than others.   Since European soft wheat doesn't contain as much gluten as American wheat, you may try increasing your intake of your soft wheat products.  A minimum of ten grams of gluten is required to get a sufficient immunological response so that the anti-gluten antibodies leave the intestines and enter the bloodstream where they can be measured by the tTg IgA test.  Your whole wheat bread may only have a gram of gluten per slice, so be prepared...

      From my own experience and that of others who have tried to discontinue PPI use, I think your taper down plan is much too aggressive. It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound is real. If I were you I would aim at cutting back in weekly increments for two weeks at a time rather than daily increments. So, for instance, if you have been taking 2x20mg per day, the first week cut that down to 2x20mg for six days and 1x20 mg for the other day. Do that for two weeks and then cut down to 2x20mg for five days and 1x20 for two days. On the third week, go 20x2 for four days and 20x1 for 3 days. Give yourself a week to adjust for the reduced dosage rather than reducing it more each week. I hope this makes sense.
