I need help, I went to my GI dr wed. He thinks I have celiac disease and/or ulcerative Colitis. I have a endoscopy scheduled for monday morning. He already started me on a gluten free diet (as of wed night). And the only tolerable thing i have been able to stomach is the gluten free bagels ? i'm hungry and everything has a very ricey taste. I like rice, but the bread doesn't taste like bread or even an attempt at bread or breading it tastes like im eating handfuls of rice. I'm by no means picky! I'll eat anything peppers, onions, garlic... I dont want to just eat salads and bagels the rest of my life! Please help offer any suggestions to mask that flavor!

If  the doctor actually thinks  you have Celiac, they would tell you to continue to eat gluten until all testing is complete.  The doctor would have you blood tested and it positive, would have you continue to eat gluten.  Then they would do a biopsy.  

Let's get you on the path to an actual legitimate diagnosis before you try to be gluten free.

Did they do a blood test?  What were the results?  Your doctor is either not very knowledgeable about celiac testing or your symptoms are very severe and he wanted to give you relief as soon as possible. It is possible that you could have a positive endo as you will not have been gluten free for even a week at the time of the endo but it is also possible you will have a false negative.

As to food it is best to avoid gluten free baked goods for a little bit and go with naturally gluten free foods like veggies, fruits, meats, chicken and fish, rice, beans etc. Simple whole foods are the best until we heal.  Once you have healed a bit then add in the baked goods.

You should keep eating gluten until all testing is done. If you haven't had the full celiac blood test panel then I would do so if I were you.

If you want to test some gluten free things while you are still eating gluten then I'd recommend Canyon Bakehouse mountain white bread, fake rye bread, multigrain and definitely their bagels. Quite good. For pasta I'd recommend Barilla gluten free pasta. The only one I like.

After you've realized gluten free isn't too bad you should stick with soups, stews and veggies for a bit till you feel better. Homemade.

Keep eating gluten til they are done with that scope, and try a whole foods only diet for a bit and drop the breads for a few months til you no longer recall the taste. btw if you have UC ....those might become even off limits.....everyone is different. But my UC will flare up with carbs, I did a post a few days ago. My is a bit odd but I found eating anything with sugars or carbs caused my UC to flare and cause bloody stools, bloat, gas, slight distention etc. I had to go keto to keep mine under control and only 1 bread brand initially catered to my diet and it was from Julian Bakery, they do not use rice in but use seeds and nuts the seed melody one was the closest to a gluten bread, the coconut and almond ones toasted each fill a niche.....I would make french toast out of the coconut ones, almond was good for avocado toast or a bit of tuna on it toasted. I make my own in my bakery now days.

Keto/paloe diet with high fats and low carb is easy to go with and great starting off with whole foods, eggs, omelettes, steamed veggies, fish, meats if you can eat them. Like literally you do not even need carbs after a few weeks cause you body changes gears to burning fat for energy and is great for managing UC just watch the spices lol.

      Actually, human agriculture only started 10-12,000 years ago, while the Neanderthals were gone by 30,000 years ago (and greatly diminished long before then).

      In addition to the other advice offered, perhaps you could identify some good recipes for gluten-free treats that you could make at home with your child, and maybe make a little fuss over how good gluten-free treats are. I regularly make gluten-free banana bread with different recipes that use buckwheat, garbanzo bean, etc flours, gluten-free ginger snaps...

      Celiac Disease Linked to Neanderthal Ancestry

      From the original post: "Some indicate negative effects, with putative links to various diseases as measured by genome-wide association studies (Sankararaman et al. 2014.

      Scientists Make Major Advance in Autoimmune Disease Therapy

      The main use for leukapheresis is to mitigate (not cure) certain blood disorders, particulary certain types of blood cancer. It's kind of like "thinning the herd" when your body makes too many white blood cells. Doesn't fix the underlying problem, but it buys some time. The car-T people utilize the same technology to collect enough T cells (a type of...

      This Common Blood Pressure Drug Can Mimic Celiac Disease Symptoms

      Olmesartan is the ARB most strongly linked to sprue-like enteropathy, a condition that can closely mimic celiac disease with diarrhea, weight loss, villous atrophy, and often negative celiac blood tests. Some newer reports suggest this reaction may not be limited to olmesartan and could represent a possible ARB class effect, with cases reported for drugs...

      Symptoms Dismissed

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Chronic fatigue in the producer was the inspiration for the episode but I feel it touches on anyone that suffers and is dismissed as psycosomatic. The patient expressed my feelings elequently.  In episode 2 the doctor explains the problem well. I stopped all commercial milk protein like skim milk added to processed foods and in a few days there was a definate improvement in my  gut, bowel movements, discomfort etc. Still drinking several glasses of Pasture Fed grass fed milk with no negative effects.   Specifically, for myself Clonidine is the only medication that lowers my BP and the doctor did not renew it, insisting that I continue Losartan.  I think that she thinks I am abusing Clonidine and the reason the Losartan doesn't work is because I am non-compliant.  Absolutely not. Surprisingly after a few days withdrawal from the Clonidine my fasting blood sugar has gotten under control.  Fasting blood sugar near normal instead of over 160.  Last few days its been below 100.  I still need Glimiperide.  Without the clonidine my pulse rate is around 100 bpm, with it around 60.   Prescription of angiotensin receptor blockers in celiac disease is associated with persistent symptoms and surrogate markers of malabsorption.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12323722/ Angiotensin receptor blocker-associated enteropathy (ARB-e) is an increasingly recognised clinical entity with symptoms and histological findings identical to coeliac disease (celiac disease). There is evidence to suggest immune-mediated mucosal injury in ARB-e with a high prevalence of DQ2/DQ8; however, as IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-TTG) is usually negative   https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ueg2.12117 NEW research [Nov 2024] presented at the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) Annual Scientific Meeting suggests that angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), a class of drugs commonly used to manage hypertension, may be associated with poorer outcomes in patients with coeliac disease. Findings indicated that patients taking ARBs had a higher likelihood of experiencing persistent symptoms and markers of poor small bowel healing, such as anaemia and iron deficiency.  https://www.emjreviews.com/en-us/amj/gastroenterology/news/angiotensin-receptor-blockers-may-worsen-coeliac-disease-outcomes/

      Some inflammation in ileum with celiac?

      By mermaidluver22 · Posted

      @BarcinoHi! I am so sorry abt your son but also relieved to know I am not alone! My ttg iga is still mildly elevated but going down. Last time we checked I had some small erosions in my ileum but recently got an MRE that showed no inflammation. Calpro 70. We are still in limbo but we are taking a conservative approach as well. Please keep me updated about his situation and outcomes! I always love to hear others opinions/experiences especially ibd specialists.
