Meet Gluten Man!

glutenman.webp

It turns out cravings are caused by mini doughnuts in the cranium, and I think the spaghetti in my leg may be contributing to the sciatic pain. I have no opinion on wtf the broken cookie is up to however unless it's a metaphor for a crumby sex life :(

Gluten man comes from Montana State   Open Original Shared Link and there's a good list of potential symptoms alongside. I counted 24 which I think I've experienced at any one time or another, so the challenge is out to the forum to beat my score :P

I bookmarked this!  I love it and will use it to list symptoms to forum newcomers.    Funny, because Montana is home to Red Wheat.  I used to buy a Montana brand of wheat porridge (cream of wheat) back in the day.  

Open Original Shared Link

I counted about 30!  (I lumped the first few skin issues together).  But here is the deal, only three permanently remain: Hasimotos's Thyroiditis (stable, but will never be cured), diabetes (thanks, Dad), and osteoporosis (stable).  The others will pop back up if I am exposed to gluten.

Actually this is a competition I'm happy to lose :P

It's a great idea though, especially in the visual illustrating how far beyond the 'traditional' celiac symptoms gluten problems can strike. I don't think the wider public have any idea, certainly I never thought that things like my backache were anything but mechanical in origin for example. I like the way they've structured the symptoms based on the systems that are affected too.  

I never made it as far North as Montana when I was over there. Loved the expanse of those mid western states though. Maybe this site is Montana making up for all that wheat :)

Well, I've definitely experienced the broken cookie...

The mini donuts seem to have drained away slowly though.

Thanks for the link JMG, interesting list of symptoms!

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these...

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?
