Gluten Free 4 Years New Allergies?

So,   I never "passed" any of the tests to guarantee that I am gluten intolerant but I know I was because as soon as I stopped eating it all of the digestive challenges I had my entire life were greatly reduced and the horrible skin problems I had rec%$#$ly begun to be afflicted with stopped. BUT, now I find I am having severe brain fog issues and it seems to happen after I consume quinoa. Anyone else have this issue? Help!!! It is becoming a problem at work.

"up To Date" Management Of Celiac Disease In Adults

“Up to Date” is an online medical database for physicians and other practitioners. I use it almost every day when I am at work to get a brief overview of the most recent evidence regarding the diagnosis and management of my patients’ problems.   I just reviewed the most recent “Up to Date” highlights on the management of Celiac Disease in adults (published April 10, 2013). Here are some of the highlights:   There are 6 key elements in the management of Celiac patients (note pneumonic CELIAC)

Non-Responsive Celiac Disease

Nonresponders are the 5% of Celiac patients who have either persistent symptoms and/or abnormally high Celiac antibodies after two years on the gluten free diet.   According the most recent medical review in the “Up to Date” database, there are 5 main categories of nonresponders to the gluten free diet:   -Patient is continuing to eat gluten. This is the most common cause of persistent symptoms. This can be on purpose (i.e. taking a little bite of a gluten containing food every once in a whi

Dear Future Amy

Dear Future Amy,   I know you are doubting your intolerance/sensitivity to gluten. I'm sure, now that time has gone on, you're starting to doubt the trouble it has caused you. You have forgotten how very miserable your gluten challenge was, and have started allowing the if's and the but's and the maybe's into your mind. So, I'm writing to you now, to remind you...read this and think back. Remember. Accept. And for the love of God, put down the Vanilla Porter, or the flat bread, or the Oreo, it

Thank You for the Opportunity to Blog about Celiac Disease

Thank You for the Opportunity to Blog about Celiac Disease

Thank you for the opportunity to blog about celiac! I have been on a stringent diet for intolerance to all grains, milk & dairy, egg whites, yeast, casein, whey, maltodextrin, modified food starch and MSG since 2000. Dealing with the social ramifications of not participating as others do in the "normal" dietary regimens of "normal" America has been a daunting challenge, but one that continues daily to help me learn greater strength, renewed courage, and increased persistence, all traits whic

Alert-Other Possible Cause Of Celiac Like Symptoms

well tried to copy and paste my story...but didn't work...so here it is....   I have been going thru some things over the last 18 months that led me to be tested for Celiac, 3 blood tests were normal, as well as biopsies...everything I was tested for came out normal, however I was having severe reactions to gluten ingestion only after 20 minutes or so...I also have had a chronic caugh for the last 8 months, that was getting worse....I changed my primary care provider because she just wasn't he

Elizaeloise's Gluten-Free Adventures

Oh, Hullo!

So, hi! I've been wanting to start a blog for a long time. I've always been a bit of a journal-writer, and when it comes to nutrition, I think I'm going to need more than just my own inkling and whims on paper.   I'm not new to gluten-sensitivity. Most of my relatives on my father's side have quite serious forms of Celiac. I distinctly remember one time when my mum and I had forgotten our house keys. We knew my dad was home, because his car was parked out the front. Making a bit of a joke out

Endoscopy Day

Its over - not as bad as I thought - didnt end up having the sedative either so I could get out quicker and get home to my baba - Don't get me wrong it wasnt nice being able to feel the tube moving up and down my throat or being aware of this thing moving around inside my stomach but it made it a hell of a lot quicker. Dr. couldnt see anything other than that my tummy was distended (but I could have told him that!) and only one biopsy taken :/ had understood that he was taking more than one - o

My Last Doughnut.... :)

It will be with great joy this lunch time that I sink my teeth into my last ever glutenous doughnut - I only have 13 and a half hours left of eating this stuff that has made me sick for so many years I CANT WAIT! Scopy tomorrow, not sure what to expect but looking forward to the first day of the rest of my life   .....just to add to my ever growing list of suspected gluten induced symptoms .... It doesnt happen very often but when it does it leaves me really disorientated and sick to my tum

Quicky

Health visitor seemed to have a knowledge of gluten intolerance/celiac and seems to think that babys 1 off mucous nappy is a reaction to my change in diet and not to worry about it... still not heard back from breast feeding association (although tbh this is the first time I have sat down today and not checkked emails)- fx that they think so too. As a complete turn around to my normal toileting issues I now seem to be constipated however Im feeling less bad and more old 'normal' today although

The Grief Of Getting Better?!

For this post, a "smiley" with tears gushing out both sides of the face is what I needed. One would think that getting better would be nothing but happy, but I found that grief engulfed me.   For years I had lived in the fog and I knew nothing else. Then one glorious day, the fog cleared. Then the realization struck. I had lived in the fog for 25 years! Another fantastic day, I had more energy then I knew what to do with. I learned that I had lived with extreme fatigue for 25 years.

Celiac Disease And The Thyroid Gland

If you have Celiac Disease, it is important that you know a bit about your thyroid gland, as you are at a high risk of autoimmune thyroid disease. Experts estimate that between 8 and 12% of people with Celiac Disease have, or will eventually develop, problems with their thyroid gland. Conversely, between 3 and 5% of people with autoimmune thyroid disease will develop Celiac Disease. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Disease (hypothyroidism) in 2003, seven years before my Celiac diagnosis.   The

Hmmm Weepy Eyes To! Really? Is There No End To This!?

21st April - So then, let me add weepy eyes to my seemingly neverending list of symptoms - previously endured with barely a second thought! - everything it seems, can be linked back to gluten. I look terrible the dark circles under my eyes seem to be darker than ever, although headache and heartburn not as bad. But head fog back cant keep simple things in my head and keep losing what im saying in conversation. Im going to go visit the Dr's this week to get checked out for Diabetes (due to my in

Every Day Is A Learning Day It Seems ...

20th April - I have dragged myself through this beautiful spring day feeling horrendous, trying to comfort my two boys (it looks very much like they have chicken pox) whilst feeling like I just want to curl up under my duvet in the dark and sleep through the next 3 weeks - of course I would fail my gluten challenge if I did this ... So after a gluten free day I have just consumed my quota for the day and look forward to the misery of tomorrow with my poorly boys whilst my husband goes to work

      GLUTEN EASE TABLETS DONT WORK

      Yes, I have one of the older models and have tested many products with it. For me it seems like a valuable tool and I have used it to test foods that I eat regularly, which are naturally gluten-free, for example salsa, refried beans, etc.

      GLUTEN EASE TABLETS DONT WORK

      Has anyone tried the NIMA gluten detector?  I'm seriously thinking of investing in one. I haven't eaten out at a restaurant since my late diagnosis 4 years ago (I'm 55 in March)  Any information would be greatly appreciated
