Chronic Non-bacterial Prostatitis

Some cases of Chronic Non-bacterial Prostatitis are caused by a gluten intolerance - I know because I had it and have now eliminated the prostatitis symptoms by eliminating gluten. I still occasionally eat gluten on accident and get some of these symptoms back(lasts about 24 after consuming gluten) but go away again when I stay away. I have it almost figured down to the hour of when I will experience the symptoms.

I am not going to claim that 100% of the cases are caused by gluten intolerance but I would make an intuitive guess and say that maybe 25% of all Chronic Non-bacterial Prostatitis cases are caused by an intolerance to gluten.

I don't know if there have been any official studies but there was some info on Wiki that it may be linked and I have found a couple other posts on the web that they can attest to this as well. This is important because currently there is no known cause or cure for Chronic Non-bacterial Prostatitis. This information may also help to track-down undiagnosed Celiacs as someone could contact patients being treated for Chronic Non-bacterial Prostatitis and/or urologists to test for an intolerance.

Thanks.

Odd, I was just diagnosed with this in January. Unfortunately I live next to a wheat field and until I get my degree I am stuck in this predicament.

Have you found anything that can lessen the symptoms?

      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.

      Not Sure What to Think

      PPI's can be a wonderful healing agent when used as prescribed on the label which I believe recommends use of up to 8 weeks. But they are like antibiotics in that they are overprescribed and undermonitored. Docs generally prescribe them and then keep prescribing them because they take care of immediate symptoms so well. Physicians are more into treating symptoms than uncovering causes.

      For the vast majority of celiacs it's probably safe, however, it seems that for those who are super sensitive it's best to avoid such products. It's fairly easy now to find brands that are naturally gluten-free, which is what Celiac.com recommends.  You might finds this article interesting:
