A classic case of more than one medical problem going on at a time. We often forget that can happen. Are you concerned about your weight loss? Is your current weight too thin for your height, gender and general build? -

Thanks for clarifying! I'll put the gluten free thing on hold then. In late december last year I suddenly started having digestive issues I never had before. My stomach started feeling tight most of the time, I got full very quickly, little to no appetite, constipation, I started to feel ill after eating - sometimes a stomach ache, sometimes nauseous, or... -

Virus, celiac disease or both?
@Shining My Light, I am not a doctor or a trained medical professional of any kind. However, I was a hospital chaplain for many years and sat in on countless numbers of medical team meetings with doctors and nurses discussing the medical issues of their patients as well as tests administered and interventions applied. What I can tell you is that many diseases...- 1

@trents I do like the idea of the shake! yes. I was expecting to have all my blood tests that were celiac related to be positive. I guess I’m confused about why they wouldn’t be. Nothing else in my blood work even gave a clue as to helping me either. All my vitamins were good other than D and that’s everyone in my state. @RMJ how impre... -

I can’t imagine eating 4-6 slices of bread per day, either. You just need wheat, it doesn’t have to be bread and it doesn’t have to whole wheat. If a piece of cake or a doughnut is about the same size as a slice of bread it’s probably roughly equivalent. Or you could do what Trents suggests and just buy powdered gluten. Gliadin X can help by “digest...

Thanks for clarifying! I'll put the gluten free thing on hold then. In late december last year I suddenly started having digestive issues I never had before. My stomach started feeling tight most of the time, I got full very quickly, little to no appetite, constipation, I started to feel ill after eating - sometimes a stomach ache, sometimes nauseous, or lightheaded, or heart beating fast. Some things worse than others, I started avoiding fatty foods in general because they made me throw up . I haven't had issues with food like this before, so this is all new to me. I started losing weight because eating was such a chore. I hadn't considered it could be celiac, but my GP added it to the list of things to... -
@Shining My Light, I am not a doctor or a trained medical professional of any kind. However, I was a hospital chaplain for many years and sat in on countless numbers of medical team meetings with doctors and nurses discussing the medical issues of their patients as well as tests administered and interventions applied. What I can tell you is that many diseases can only be diagnosed by running a battery of tests coming at the problem from different angles. It is normal to not have all the tests give a positive confirmation for a given disease. But rather, a diagnosis is arrived at by looking at what the balance of the test results from all angles suggest. This may especially be true of...

Nothing else in my blood work even gave a clue as to helping me either. All my vitamins were good other than D and that’s everyone in my state. @RMJ how impressive to be able to make all those baked goods! I’ve been tasting some gluten free items. There is one thing I found that’s good and it’s Siete Cinnamon churro chips put over ice cream with chocolate syrup . Tastes like fried ice cream! I’ve also noticed so many more things have a “gluten free” symbol on them. Restaurants mostly but also a lot of... -

If a piece of cake or a doughnut is about the same size as a slice of bread it’s probably roughly equivalent. Or you could do what Trents suggests and just buy powdered gluten. Gliadin X can help by “digesting” small amounts of gluten contamination. You would NOT want to take it while eating bread/cake/doughnuts in preparation for an endoscopy because it could make your body react less. I have finally figured out how to make a number of gluten free baked goods. Cakes, cream puffs . . . My neighbors know they are...
