Well...since my celiac diagnosis I have now also been diagnosed with a dairy intolerance....oh the humanity of it all....

 

i really struggle with with breakfast as I am a clean eater.

typically, I will have a protein shake or scrambled eggs with veg.

i am soooo bored with breakfast as I cannot have cheese or yogurt... Any suggestions on what to have for breakfast? :)

Frittata?  Mushrooms with a side of salsa or a poached egg on top.  Sautéed tomatoes, steamed spinach and bacon? Coconut yoghurt (non dairy) with some seeds/safe grains, fresh fruit?  Fruit compote? Porridge made with rice/quinoa flakes?

Not sure precisely what clean eating rules out? Could you have a non lactose yogurt? There are soya based ones here in the UK, although in another thread someone warned me off Soy!

I see you have scrambled egg with veg. I rotate fresh fruit and yogurt and the occasional gluten-free cereal or bread as a treat, but omelettes are my go to breakfast food. It's a good way to incorporate lots of vegetables and protein because you can mix and match the fillings depending on what you've got in or fancy.  Avocado, Kale, Spinach, Onions, Mushrooms, Peppers, Chicken, Bacon etc. etc.  I add fresh coriander or parsley too. When I get bored of that I make egg bhurji, although you may not want all those spices if you're stomach is delicate! I'm also thinking about this: Open Original Shared Link next time I'm bored.

  I read from another person that they couldn't have raw dairy, but hard cheese didn't upset them...  Not sure since I wouldn't expect protein to change from milk to cheese.  I'm starting to suspect I have a dairy issue as well...  I also read that sometimes celiacs can return to dairy after they've healed a bit?  But, I've also read that sometimes you can develop issues also.. hard to keep track.

You are talking about lactose intolerance.  It is the sugar in dairy.  Many adults, Celiac or not, cannot digest the lactose.  For a Celiac, the part of the villi damaged by Celiac produces the enzyme that digests this sugar.  When your villi heal, you may regain the ability to digest this sugar.  You may not, because many adults don't make that enzyme.  Some adults may produce varying amounts  of lactase (the enzyme), and that may allow them to digest small amounts of lactose (the sugar).  Hard cheeses usually have very lactose so many people can digest them fine.

Buckwheat cereal is what I go to a lot.  Oats may or may not be ok with you.  If you go to a gluten free store there are lots of gluten free cereal options.  Instead of cow's milk there is almond milk, coconut milk, rice milk, hemp milk, soy milk.

I usually have sautéed yellow peppers, kale (or spinach) mushrooms as a base.  Then throw in some leftovers like baked sweet potato, or chicken chunks, add an egg and call it a breakfast!

      It has been the most terrible illness ever! Going on 3 weeks now… I had chicken pox as a kid… crazy how much havoc this dormant virus has caused after being reactivated! No idea what even caused it to fire back up. I’m scared this pain and sensitivity is just never going to improve or go away

      OKJmartes. Skin and eyes. Also anxiety and frustration. I have read that Celiacs have more skin problems than people who do not have Celiacs. I take increased levels of Vit. D3, very high levels of B12 and an eating part of an avocado every day. KnittyKitty and others here can add what they take for skin health. A Dermatologist might identify the type of skin condition. By eyes you may mean eyesight problems not just irritated, red eyes. It is not very difficult to get a diagnosis of which eye condition is affecting your vision but much more difficult to find an effective remedy. The ophthalmologists I have seen have been only a little helpful. There seems to have been some advances in eye treatments that most of them are completely ignorant of or just won't add to their treatment plans.  Forcertain you may as well buy some remedy from a facebook ad but that is obviously risky and may actually damafe your eyes. However it is known that certain supplements , taken at the effectivelevels do help with eyesight. Two of them are Luten and zanthamin (spelling?)and certain anti-oxidants such as bilberry..    Hope this helps.

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my  GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this.  He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant no celiac bc there may not be damage yet or it’s possible to miss biopsies where there’s damage but he was so sure and convinced me I needed that biopsy I went back on gluten. It was a terrible experience! I took pictures of the bloating and swelling and weight gain during the challenge. I gained 9 pounds, looked pregnant, was in pain , couldn’t work or function without long naps and the brain fog was debilitating. And in the end he didn’t get a positive biopsy… so I wish I had never wasted my time or health going through it. I haven’t been truly straightened  out since and I am currently battling a shingles infection at 43 and I can’t help but wonder if the stress I put my body under to try and get an official diagnosis has caused all this. Best of luck to you - whatever you decide. It’s not a fun thing to go through and I still don’t have the answers I was looking for

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until your holidays, prioritizing your immediate well-being and exams. To answer your questions, yes, it is possible for blood tests to be negative initially and become positive later as the disease progresses, which is why the biopsy remains the gold standard. Many, many people find the gluten challenge incredibly difficult due to the return of debilitating symptoms, so you are certainly not alone in that struggle. Wishing you the best for your exams and for obtaining clearer answers when you're able to proceed.

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping issues that can affect those with celiac disease. Is it possible you got some gluten in your diet somehow? This could be a possible trigger. Hopefully, tomorrow's appointment will provide clearer answers and a path to relief so you can get back to your lectures and enjoy your weekend. Wishing you all the best for the consultation.
