- Mari replied to Vickey Matteson's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease1Upset stomach
Hi Vicky' If you are hesitant to visit your medical provider and if this discomfort persists you may choose to do that. I do have some suggestions and how ai have delt with digestive problems not caused by gluten but likely a result of having the autoimmune reaction in my small intestine for all the years before going gluten free. Before I stopped eating... -

Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?
Hi @Stephanie Wakeman, Get your vitamind D blood level checked and supplement to raise to around 80 ng/dl or 200 nmol/L. This is the natural upper limit and provides the best immune system. Vitamin D plays a role in regulating the immune system, and low levels may impair the immune system's ability to control allergic responses. Vitamin D deficiency... -
- RMJ posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease0Damage after 13 years gluten free
I’m frustrated with celiac disease and my current gastroenterologist (GI). I’ve been gluten free for almost 13 years, with normal antibodies for almost 8 years - except for one excursion of my DGP IgA 5 years ago which returned to normal when I changed brands of gluten free flour. All 4 celiac antibodies were positive 13 years ago but I didn’t h... -
- Pablohoyasaxa replied to Stephanie Wakeman's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease5Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?
I was diagnosed with gluten sensitivity and a wheat allergy as a child in the early 1960s, . which I inherited from my father's DNA. My mom tried the best she could with both of us, but in those times health and allergies were kind of brushed aside. I grew out of it, or so we thought, but the rashes reared their ugly heads while I was in college. Keg parties...

Hi Vicky' If you are hesitant to visit your medical provider and if this discomfort persists you may choose to do that. I do have some suggestions and how ai have delt with digestive problems not caused by gluten but likely a result of having the autoimmune reaction in my small intestine for all the years before going gluten free. Before I stopped eating gluten I had a leaky gut. The gluten inflammatory reaction let other food molecules get just far enough into the wall of the small intestine to be recognized as invaders so I began reacting to them at a very low level, not very noticeable. When you eat a meal it goes into the stomach and is liquified in a highly acid environment. This may...

Hi @Stephanie Wakeman, Get your vitamind D blood level checked and supplement to raise to around 80 ng/dl or 200 nmol/L. This is the natural upper limit and provides the best immune system. Vitamin D plays a role in regulating the immune system, and low levels may impair the immune system's ability to control allergic responses. Vitamin D deficiency may be linked to an increased risk of developing allergies and experiencing more severe allergic reactions. Vitamin D is one of many vitamin deficiencies caused by small intestine damage so unless you get enough sunlight or taking large doses of vitamin D, you will be deficient. -
I’m frustrated with celiac disease and my current gastroenterologist (GI). I’ve been gluten free for almost 13 years, with normal antibodies for almost 8 years - except for one excursion of my DGP IgA 5 years ago which returned to normal when I changed brands of gluten free flour. All 4 celiac antibodies were positive 13 years ago but I didn’t have an endoscopy for reasons unrelated to celiac disease. I did have one 9 years ago. The DGP IgA was still slightly elevated, GI saw some blunted villi visually, biopsy showed “patchy mild increase in intraepithelial lymphocytes” and “focal mild villous blunting” (Marsh 3A). For the past few years I’ve had intermittent trouble with nausea and...

I was diagnosed with gluten sensitivity and a wheat allergy as a child in the early 1960s, . which I inherited from my father's DNA. My mom tried the best she could with both of us, but in those times health and allergies were kind of brushed aside. I grew out of it, or so we thought, but the rashes reared their ugly heads while I was in college. Keg parties (wheat & gluten in beer and youthful reckess eating led to an outbreak. To the point, I am a 65 year old and now living with full blown celiac with dermatitis herpetiformis blisters that are just beginning to receed after being gluten-free for over 2 years at least. The lesions are so unsightly that I need to stay covered. Ive been living in...
