Corn, Too?

Hi, i am new to this forum, i have all the symptons of gluten intolerance since 2002 , the migraine attacks that kept me from working for a month, i got slightly better but got back into old habits, fast forward 2013, the symptons have come back with a vengeance, headaches, weight loss, slurred speech, forgetfullness, back pains, swollen joints, general fatigue, i have had several blood tests, everything came back normal, even a health check was fine, maybe they did not check my vitamin b12 levels or Iron, so i have requested another blood test which i should get back in a couple of days, i have decided to go gluten free for good and within a week i can see some improvements, my headaches have gone, my insomia has gone, my joint swellings have eased off a bit, only issue here is i am still eating gluten free corn flakes and taking dextrol tablets for energy boosting, i am also eating gluten free bread products bought from the store, this morning after having a gluten cornflakes fortified with fibres, when i got to work, started feeling uneasy, short of breath, headache, i had to leave!! Does anyone think these gluten free products could be the culprit ? Should i eleiminate corn all together and prepare my own breakfasts from scratch? I have been preparing my lunches and dinner for the past week

Some people have problems with corn.  Its gluten free but seems to be hard to digest.  In the beginning, it can be hard to know what is an issue.  With Celiac, your intestine is damaged and has a hard time with food.  You could try to eliminate corn as much as possible and see if you feel better.  You may be able to eat it again in a few months after your gut has had a chance to heal.

 

Might be a good idea to eliminate dairy for a few weeks or months, too.  Dairy is digested by the part that is damaged in Celiac

If you look, you will find people with issues with any food you can think of.  That doesn't mean you will have them.  Relax.  Eat as simply as you can for a few months.  Give yourself a chance to heal and your body to adjust to this new way of eating.  If a food seems to bother you, don't eat  it for a few weeks and then try it again.  Foods with a lot of ingredients - like bread, can be hard to determine what part might bother you.  And, as you heal, you may find that certain foods don't bother you anymore.

I have found I cannot eat corn products. I have not tried whole corn as of yet since I have noticed the corn problem. I do know I cannot even have a coke or sprite because of the Corn Syrup. It hits me with alot of pain and gas. And of course the big "D" I have not noticed any other problems as of yet. I did have a problem with Dairy at 1st but that has now subsided I can drink milk and eat cheese :) I wait to find out what's going to hit me next. 

 

So glad you found your problem. I love feeling better!! Still waiting for my energy levels to come up but other than that I feel soooo much better!! Lost weight , feel like I am a lil more normal now. Trying to get rid of some other issues but gosh 4 months in and I feel so much better!! I hope you feel better also. It can only get better :) I hope!!

That's from the same company. Could somebody chime in and tell us if the problem with rice dream was CC? Because if it was, this one might be CC'd too.

Rice Dream did not work for me, and an hour after I had it, I felt terrible.  here's a thread I started awhile back  https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/102693-didnt-see-that-one-coming-rice-dream/

 

It says gluten free plain as day on the label, but if you type it in on this form, I'm not the only one who's had trouble with it.  

 

only wish I would've typed it in before I bought it.  I learned my lesson  :)

 

I would get rid of that milk.  If you have a Wegman's near by, they have an organic gluten-free rice milk that's actually gluten free and it's fortified.

It could be corn, or it could be that you react to lower levels of cross contamination than others.  It takes some trial and error to figure out.  You could go all unpackaged and unprocessed for awhile and then add back and see what happens.

You probably missed it but she has only been gluten-free for a week.  Probably a little early to worry about being extra sensitive.  :)  As we all know, it usually takes more than a week to even realize what foods have gluten.  I remember a couple of posters talking about someone eating corn flakes or Rice Kripsies (both with barley malt) for several years before they realized the mistake!

 

 But eating as simply as possible is good advice.  When you are feeling good, add something back and see.  I just accidentally added an artificial sugar in the other day that ALWAYS bothered me and was fine.  I won't be rushing to eat it all the time, but it was good to know I don't have to scan every soda, gum or candy if I want one occasionally.

Totally.  Sorry about that.  I'll try to read more carefully.  It took me a lot longer than a week.  Simple would help with that process anyway.  I did what a lot of people probably do and went to the store and bought all the gluten-free stuff.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      Celiac getting dentures

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
