Welcome. Are you just suggesting a topic for the chats?  Or did you have a question?  If you have some specific questions, you might want to make a new thread - maybe the post-dx section?

Hi, I would like to join this support group. I was told by my doctor that I was gluten sensitive. I have fibromyalgia and ibs and other medical issues and really would like to get healthy and need the help and support.

I would love chatting about this stuff.  My wife has become a Dictator in the kitchen.  I don't know what she can eat anymore.   Now she said she can't have bacon!!!! I give up.  Maybe I'll learn about food choices for her.  Good to know there's a chat for this.  I'm on it!

I have never seen a bacon with gluten. Just read the ingredients.

She can eat bacon.  Unless she has another reason like sodium nitrates.

Bacon is fine.  Having recently been diagnosed, I'm learning all this, too - as is my wife.  One of the things you may want to consider is to eliminate gluten altogether - for both of you.  It becomes easier (if it is just the two of you, that is).  Because the other thing you need to worry about is cross-contamination.  That is, she'll need to have her own peanut butter jar, butter/margarine stick or tub, etc . . . this is because if you were to dip into, let's say, a peanut butter jar - spread that on wheat toast (or white toast), and then re-dip the knife - BOOM - that jar is now contaminated because even trace amounts (crumbs) can cause problems.  This has been the hardest part of adherence for me (or I should say - for my wife).  I know - ugh!  Also - worth considering - my GI guy told me that everyone would be better off not eating gluten - because the human body does not do a good job digesting modern wheat / gluten / gliadin.  You may find that you'll feel better, too.  Just my 2 cents.  Good Luck (Boars Head Deli Meat is ok, too . . . but, again, it's the dreaded cross-contamination that you need to worry about (e.g., did they clean the meat slicer from use with other non-gluten meats?)

Hi - me too.  Just 2 months ago - ugh!  A bit older than you - I'm 48.  Probably had Celiac (I bet) for 15 years, easy.  Never even heard of it.  But was taking probiotics during that time.  Interested to hear about your candida and batercial overgrowth.  I've wondered about that myself - reading so much on Celiac in the last 2 months.  It seems so much of functional medicine is so far out in front of this issue, but traditional medicine trails behind (and my doctor is a traditional internist).  Testing, etc . . .

Hey, I'm so sorry I haven't responded sooner.  Life has been crazy and hectic with struggling with all this chronic illness and trying to take care of my very active 13 month old boy!  Yeah, I actually think I've had most of my health issues the majority of my life.  I was very fortunate to find a board certified holistic physician, who is awesome!  I had to go through a lot of testing to get all the answers: standard blood work covered by insurance, ALCAT test (food sensitivities), NutrEval test, and CDSA 2.0 (Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis).  The CDSA showed the candida and the SIBO.  I also have a lot of food sensitivities and nutrient deficiencies, which is all common with Celiac.  Hope this info. may help and that you can find a physician to do this testing and get to the root of all your issues.

sounds like you have a great doctor.  I can't get my doctor to even return an email at this point (have only sent him two on the subject).  I wanted to get an MMA and homocysteine test - for B12 - and I get no reply. And my Vitamin D test (that I asked to have done) came back at 28 - which I think is low . . . but he said nothing about it.  OK.  hmm . . . I'm supplementing with D3.

Hello Everyone, 

 

Our first meeting was on Saturday, and it went very well. Thank you to all of those who attended, and please let me know if you wanted to attend, but could not due to a technical issue, or because of the time the meeting was set. We are now working on the schedule for our 2nd meeting, and we should post it soon.

 

If you did attend and have any questions or comments, please share them here, as we hope to improve our future meetings.

 

For those who could not attend, I have attached a transcript of the meeting below.

Darn! Sorry I missed this. Weekends are crazy busy with my kids and all of their activities. 

I can't seem to access the transcript. When I click on the pdf link, I get a message that says I don't have permission to view it.  :(

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
