Colitis and celiac

Hi,

im 29 years old now and had colitis from been 20! 

Never really tried any diets or anything and I currently take 4 mazazaline a day! But tbh I just tent to feel more bloated taking them! 

I can eat then 2 mins later feel like I want toilet but sometimes just Mucas and Gas! No stools! 

Is this normal? 

I don't get any pain tbh just gas!

when I first started takin the meds it went for a long time then sometimes wonder if my body got used to them I just kinda deal with it now tbh thinking of trying some differant diets but I'm a bit worried! 

Iv never felt that Ill or in pain but living with it for 9 years  is a long time n getting to point where I think a lot say don't self diagnose but doctors are useless I think I see a male doctor which feels intimidating as it is 

any tip on diets gluten free or any colitis sufferers out their fancy a chat 

Nicole

I am sorry that you are unwell.  How was your colitis diagnosed? 

If you even suspect celiac disease, you should get tested before trying a gluten free diet.  Have you been tested?  Here's some information:

Remember, you must be eating gluten daily or the tests will be inaccurate!

Nicole, it's time to talk to your doctor and get tested for celiac. What you describe is not normal.

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
