Hello all, I am new to this site but have had celiac spru ( disease ) for ten years now. I thought I was doing good, but I obviously am not. I am having a horrible attack right now, as bad as the first one. I also have MC. I must have got contaminated somehow. I realize now that I absolutely cannot rely on products that say gluten free anymore. I believe I am just to sensitive now. How do you stop the  relentless diarrhea? I have taken a ton of anti diarrhea pills but the beast is still roaring in my belly and out...of it. Help! Any suggestions? I can't even make it to the toilet, so I sleep next to the bathroom now to avoid accidents in bed. Can't eat or drink ANYTHING or it gets worse. Had anyone dealt with this? I feel so alone and scared it will never stop. Thanks in advance,

Christine

Sounds like you might have a bad stomach virus or something else.  IF this goes on for more than a couple of days, you need to get to a doctor.

Thanks Karen, these symptoms I am having are exactly like the first time I experienced it. I didn't know I had celiac disease then, but after a month of agony I was diagnosed via biopsy. The difference now is I eat gluten free. I ate at a pizza place that  serves gluten free pizza earlier this evening and at two in the morning I woke to a lets just say unpleasant issue. I must have got cross contaminated. No matter what I do it won't stop. Do you know of anything other than Imodium to stop the D? 

Thanks so much,

Christinr

Hi Christine, 

You may want to ask this on a separate topic if you want more replies, but in the meantime how are you with dairy? Could be food poisoning and cross contamination is one possibility but there will be dairy in the gluten-free pizza and after a few years gluten-free I've only recently realised that dairy isn't just something I need to mostly avoid but I have to cut it out completely.

I split this to its own topic.

I couldn't tell by your first post if you had this going on for days, weeks or just a few hours.

 

Sounds like some cc on that pizza.

IF a Pizza place offers both gluten and gluten-free pizza....you have a extreme chance of CC, consider the prep area, the flour dusting, the reaching from gluten pizza to topping bins and back, the ladle used to put hte sauce on and spread it from one pizza to another, the pizza peel they use to put in and remove the pizza the cutters.....so many areas where a untrained personal can make a mistake and CC you.

Other thoughts dairy is a HUGE issue for many cealics, especially right after a gluten exposure. The tips of the villi help with the enzymes to break down dairy....damaged tips and you do not get enough of the enzyme and D, gas etc ensue. Best to avoid it for a bit again after a gluten exposure. For me it is a life time avoidance......

Thoughts for helping to firm up stool. Ground flax seed in food/beverages adds bulk and thickens up stool, coconut flour is also good for this in a baked good, or porridge, Pea Protein is high in iron and can help form up stools (NOT DEPENDS ON BRAND) I use Growing Naturals often and found the 30% DV iron in it is great. Avoid Sugars, starches, fruit, for now to keep gas down, and for god sake stay away from spices or you WILL feel the burn. Go with herb seasonings for awhile....

I use Great Plains Bentonite Clay to stop the diarrhea. Works quickly for me.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around. The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me. Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
