Hi all!  I have just had a call from my doctor confirming a celiac diagnoses!  In some ways I am relieved as it will explain a lot of my (minor) symptoms.. in other ways a little overwhelmed as I am already a vegetarian so feeling a little bit limited!  My doctor did not say anything to me.. just told me to look on websites! So one of my first questions is.... if I stop eating gluten now.. will my gluten symptoms be worse than they are now if I have gluten again? (I am camping next weekend with friends and have a meal out this weekend... and not sure if it is worth changing meal plans for these.. and just do it at home for now?! I hope this makes sense!... my main symptoms are lethargy poss due to anaemia.. some bloating, gas, and reflux but no pain... 

Im sure over the coming weeks I'll be asking lots of daft questions! So I'll apologise in advance!

 

may thanks xxx

Well welcome the club you never wanted in, do read the newbie 101 section about how to clean out, decon the kitchen preventing contamination, and reading labels.

Yes after removing gluten many of us get much more violent reactions when it is reintroduced either due to being "numbed" to constant pain and the "normal" we perceived for so many years. Or from our immune system rebounded with renewed vigor at what it thinks is a invader......Gluten free traveling and camping can be done easily, bit more of a issue with vegan but not much. Get some Vegan Protein shakes/meal replacements (MRM Veggie meal replacement), protein bars (Julian Bakery, Kind), bags of nuts, seeds, dried fruit (nuts.com and mygerbs.com), dried kale chips, bean chips, or vegan protein chips (Rythem foods, protes, etc.) some fresh fruit, perhaps take some potatoes wrap in foil and cook in the fire.  PS the vegan protein powders and chips are great for anemia as pea protein is very high in iron, take with vitamin C supplements to maximize absorption

Got a list of some helpful foods for treating yourself, but we suggest a whole foods only diet starting off. I do some some recipes on my blog here that might interest you like Vegan Taco soup, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
