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.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Issues before diagnosis

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
