Carageenan!

Hi all,

 

Haven't been to the forum in awhile, but some of you might remember my complete meltdown over my wife's constant contamination. Long story short, she had DH flareups for months, was completely exhausted, depressed, digestive issues, the whole 9. We did everything we could to make sure she wasn't getting contaminated, but this continued for months.

 

Finally I found a post somewhere on this board about Carageenan. After doing some research we found that it can cause Celiac symptoms in some patients. So we cut it out completely, amazing how many "gluten free" foods had this ingredient.

 

Happy to report, she hasn't had a flareup or any celiac symptoms since then. So I wanted to first of all say thank you for all the help and support, and second of all bring this to the top of the board in case others weren't aware. I hope it helps someone the way it helped her.

Carageenan is IODINE. I am very sensitive to freakin' carageenan. When I first went gluten-free and low iodine, an exposure would make me itch and break out. I have since normalized with my sensitivity to carageenan, but in the beginning while trying to get the dh to subside it was a horrid trigger.

 

I'm so pleased you found a solution. Understand it isn't just carageenan (though she may have an intolerance). It is probably IODINE sensitivity with the DH.

 

If she flares, start the low iodine diet immediately.

 

Best of luck to both of you!

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.
