food combinations

I cannot combine starches and proteins without getting sick.

Is this a common problem for Celiac disease sufferers?

Not that I know of. 

I'm assuming you are referring to foods that are high in starches and proteins. Most foods that are classified as a starch will have some protein (e.g. grains and tubers) and many foods that are classified as protein will have some starch (e.g. legumes). 

Can you give some specific examples of food combinations that give you problems?

trents:

if you send an email address I will send you some lists so that you can see what I am referring to.

Better I think for the sake of input from he community if you will copy and paste the lists into a post.

Robert Gross Newbie

OK

I will work on that.

thanks

Starches and sugars make me sick, I do best on a high protein and high-fat diet. I also do best with a mostly plant-based fat and protein diet. IF your getting bloating from sugars/starches it could also be SIBO.

I would look into digestive enzymes, if you do not have the enzymes to break down certain foods they will make you feel sick, you can also get food sensitivities or intolerance which is very common with celiac. Many of the regulars here list what we have issues within our signature to give you an example but it can be anything. Most common are dairy, oats, soy, nightshades, corn, peanuts, but can be anything.  https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/are-food-sensitivities-for-life

 

In the end, you should keep a food diary and go to a whole foods only diet, remove foods that bother you for now and build from there.

Yep as Ennis said we often had issues. The 2-2.5 years after my gluten challenge I had many intolerances and stuggled to process foods. I didn't have SIBO. 

Are you newly diagnosed then it is likely you may unfortunately have to drop some foods for awhile . I had to do a food diary and drop foods that were an issue. I got many of them back. I still have corn and milk issues. 

It also helps sometimes to vary the diet rotate so you aren't consuming the same foods. I had some thresholds for a bit while I waited for my immune system to calm down and my body to heal. 

I had to wait for my bile and pancreas to fire back on at full force. Things that may sound strange, but many of my organs we're inflamed afterward besides my GI tract. I needed overall healing as well. 

I had to be low fat meat, white potatos caused joint pain and muscle aches so I did sweet potatoes etc instead. I dropped potato and rice and stayed whole foods, AIP, and Paleo for that time period. 

I was able to add things back in time. I do a daily multi, extra vitamin d and magnesium, for my probiotic I make water keifer as my former probiotic were grown on corn and I had issues .

It takes sometime to work it all out. Time and patience my Celiac comrade.

Keep us posted 

Good luck

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
