Awol cast iron stomach Experienced

I don't know if my husband would be labeled a gluten-free trend dieter, but I don't view him as such. He can eat gluten, but since my symptoms are so extreme we removed it and corn another intolerance entirely from the home. Including his beer he drinks Daura Damn.

My son has my issues as well that revealed themselves after we removed the items from my diet post gluten challenge. I often made one dinner free of all my intolerances and quickly the symptoms manifested when he was exposed to those foods. It showed on his skin as well.

My daughter is gluten-free in the house since we had to remove it. She has eaten it a few times this year away from home, but determined after a Halloween pizza party it is problematic. She was home sick for 3 days after utterly fatigued with headaches (two of my many symptoms) no other cold/virus symptoms. The few times before she felt a bit off but didn't want to assume gluten. This last time she said she knew. She determined the prior times it was one piece of pizza and she was a bit off just thought she was tired, this last time she consumed pizza and pretzels and knew.

One thought is maybe some may live with a celiac or NCGS loved one in a completely gluten-free household. They adhere to the diet strictly for a few months etc then for work or social event eat gluten on a night out away from home.

My husband did it a few times and actually found he prefers maintainbig gluten-free options but will eat out for work events as he does not need to worry about cc. He may partake in Mexican or Chinese food but he stated he orders gluten-free dishes like rice noodles or burrito bowls minus flour tortillas etc. His boss and coworkers now know he eats gluten-free and they all select a restaurant with gluten-free options.

He converted by default. And ironically he has had more coworker acceptance than I have in the past.

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.
