Hi welcome to our little family, bit of a heads up the diet is much easier to manage if you stick to unprocessed foods and keep from scratch with whole foods. Bit more trouble bit worth it for the piece of mind,omlettes, stir fry, soups, stews, baked meat, sauteed/steamed veggies, baked/mashed/roasted potatoes, crock pot meals, and if checked, sorted and wash rice and beans Simple old style dishes work best.

Candy...I developed sugar issues, I use Spry mints, Spry Gum, and some stuff like Lakanto Chocolate Bars and raw cocoa nibs for my sugar free treats. I also run a gluten free bakery and make my own low carb breads and desserts.

Symptom wise everyone is different, I get numbness, brain fog, and diarrhea, and with a major exposure and nothing taken with it I have had motor loss....Symptoms also change and evolve over the years...I used to never have diarrhea just constipation....I also used to have "Hyde" moments where I would turn angry, get confused with looping thoughts and punch walls....that has not happened in over 4 years on the gluten free diet even with accidental glutenings.

Here are some helpful links and stuff to help you out, and if you wish for some processed foods I have a few list of products/brands you can go for.

      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.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      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 genes can also be present in the normal population. Testing performed by SSOP.  So google failed me.  I think these results basically say I have genes, but everybody has these genes so this test was just to confirm that there is a vague possibility?  Maybe this test result explains why I do not have the horrible symptoms most individuals with celiac have?  I told the GI my assumption is that I am just gluten intolerant since I do not have the pain? So maybe this test explains why I have antibodies?” To me it reads.that you carry the high risk HLADQ2.5 haplotype.

      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?
