Gluten And Other Food Intolerances.

I am wondering if someone knows if testing gluten can make you intolerant to other foods you are eating? I was testing if gluten was causing intolerance or if it was preservatives in the gluten food. Now I am suddenly intolerant to my usual breakfast, gluten-free cornflakes. :huh:

I'm not sure i understand. Are you celiac or are you suspecting a gluten intolerance? Many celiacs are intolerant to other foods until our guts heal, sometimes we never can tolerate some foods other than gluten.

Maybe try a whole foods diet, then add some processed foods like cereals back in and see if you have symptoms. You'll see if its gluten or additives that are causing problems.

I think I am definitally not celiac (based on tests and  my iron is fine), but I am severly food intolerant and I am really restricted,

 

I was eating gluten-free cornflakes, lactose free milk, rice porridge, gluten-free crackers, butter, cheese, rice, eggs and some meats - then I added wheat bread. I was having some symptoms like sudden runny nose for short period of time, sneezing, lipliner and a red circle on my upper lip, thirst, dry mucosa, excessive mucus in stool and constipation, peeing alot, irritation in body at night, joint pain and numbness and nerve pain in my right hand. I took out bread and most of the symptoms cleard up but not the lip, hand and dry mucosa. Yesterday I didn't eat my gluten-free cornflakes, I had a good sleep, not peeing so often and my hand was fine.

 

Usually I could eat the gluten-free cornflakes but suddenly now I react to it. Hence I was wondering if a gluten challange could make me not tolerate what I usually do.

I don't think a challenge would do that. It does sound like you may have an allergy to wheat. Definitely check that out!! It may just be taking a little while to work its way out of your system.

It's day five since quitting the challange, I am still so run down,tired and feeling hopeless. Could it last so long? I respond the same way to gluten-free oats, or at least the runny nose. Long time since I gave up oats but I remember me eating oats stating "I can eat otats! I can eat oats! It's FINE!" while sucking my nose constantly. I didn't want to make the connection. :ph34r:

 

Thank you for responding to me :flowers: (just pretend they are there)

Sorry I haven't responded... Some people take days, weeks, even months to heal after a gluten exposure. I sure hope you haven't developed a sensitivity to oats! I love oats, but have to space out how often I eat them. I get sick if I eat too much.

I sure hope you feel better soon! ((Hugs))

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Celiac disease was considered a pre-existing condition that affected costs before the ACA, and I was paying life insurance premiums at age 45 that a 70 year old would have to pay because of it (this was back when it was my only diagnosis--not that case now).  I don't disagree with @plumbago's approach here either, but just keep in mind, it will be on your PERMANENT RECORD!😉 On top of this, a majority of job applications that I've see in the past couple or years include "celiac disease" as a pre-existing condition that the employer want you to disclose--do you have the same shot at the job if you say yes?:

      Treen, I'm not sure I totally understand, but if I were you, while you still can, get your doctor to run the celiac blood test panel (the complete one) now, and if any of those tests turn out to be positive, get him or her to order you an endoscopy with biopsy. Do this while you still have insurance that will cover the cost! If it turns out to be positive, it seems your worry is that you would not then be able to get health insurance after 2025 because celiac, you say, is a pre-existing condition? Being in the state (I am from there, btw), you no doubt have observed the rate of metabolic disease in the population, conditions that are far more emblazoned in neon lights that say "pre-existing!" than Celiac, I would think. Meaning, it's quite likely that a near-majority would have pre-existing conditions. You might not even be denied. If I were you I'd reach out to either UAB (below) or the Alabama celiac facebook group with your concerns, and even research the topic - was Celiac considered a pre-existing condition before ACA? I think it was, but at any rate, maybe get the local perspective. The alternative I suppose is to wait to get tested, as you indeed say, until after you have new insurance. Not a bad strategy (I don't think it's really dishonest, but that's just me), but personally I like to have it all on the record so we're all on the same page. At any rate, if your fears bear out, a whole LOT of us are in a bunch of trouble, no??  UAB Digestive Health Center https://www.uabmedicine.org/medical-professionals/clinical-services/digestive-health-center/celiac-disease/

      I personally don't believe you have an obligation to disclose such a diagnosis with your doctor or insurance company, especially if a health insurance company can use this information against you for the rest of your life--and yes, it does look like we may be headed back a time a place where pre-existing conditions could affect the cost and ability to get health insurance--but that remains to be seen. If we were talking about a congenital heart condition I might offer different advice, but for celiac disease where the only treatment is a gluten-free diet and there is no subsidy for gluten-free food costs in the USA, it seems reasonable for you to go with more privacy regarding your test--just confirm with the company that your results will ALWAYS be private (i.e. see 23andMe news--their data has or will be auctioned off in bankruptcy proceedings).

      I’m just worried about pre-existing conditions and my imminent loss of insurance. I’m self-employed. Finding insurance outside the ACA marketplace in Alabama is almost impossible even when you’re healthy. I still have 5 years before I’m eligible for Medicare. There is no treatment for Celiac except gluten avoidance. If Celiac disease becomes part of my medical history — even though the ‘treatment’ (gluten avoidance) is ‘free’ (only I can treat myself and it costs my insurance nothing), I might find myself uninsured if something like cancer arises in the next 5 years.

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had to look up "TVP" and it is this product: https://www.bobsredmill.com/product/tvp-textured-veg-protein What type of test did you use? Was it a mail order kit, if so, what brand, or did you send out samples to be tested at a lab?
