Reacting to most foods?

Hi all.

I've been tested for Celiac disease and nothing came up so I assumed I had Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivy. I know gluten is a trigger because every time I eat it I get the classic Celiac symtoms like fructose and fat malabsotion as well as the usual digestive discomfort and even autoimmune type symptoms like joint aches and psoriasis that lasts for days.

Here's the confusing part: Many other non gluten foods seem to trigger the same intestinal symptoms as the gluten does. All grains (including white rice), gluten free oats, all dairy (inc butter) as well as white potatoes and eggs.

I also have a host of allergy type reactions to other foods that I have devoped in the last few years.

Has anyone had or heard of similar issues?

My current 'safe' diet is basically limited to beef, sweet potato, some fruit/greens, everyday for a year.

The diet is a blessing, but I fear I may be locked to it until I can figure out what is going on.

Any insight appreciated. Thanks.

TJ

Wow!  Just those few thing to eat?  You have been gluten free for a year and no improvement?  

Were you given the full celiac blood panel?  Did you know that some celiacs are seronegative, yet they can have intestinal damage?   Have you had a Gastroenterologist consult to discuss celiac disease or other illnesses like inflammatory bowel disease? 

Celiac disease and additional food intolerances are commonly linked, but I am sure food intolerances are probably commonly linked in many other illnesses too.  I hope you find answers soon.  I wish you well.

      Thank you for the kind words! I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating gluten daily for weeks beforehand. Many have already gone gluten-free during their pre-screening period, thus their test results end up false negative, leaving them confused and sometimes untreated. It is sad that so few doctors attended your workshops, but it doesn't surprise me. It seems like the protocols for any type of screening should just pop up on their computer screens whenever any type of medical test is ordered, not just for celiac disease--such basic technological solutions could actually educate those in the medical community over time.

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 seem to be more sensitive to minor amounts of gluten exposure than those with just one of those genes and those with only DQ2 seem to be more sensitive than those with only DQ8. But there are probably many factors that influence the damage rate to the villi as well as intensity of reaction to exposure. There is still a lot we don't know. One of the gray areas is in regard to those who are "silent" celiacs, i.e. those who seem to be asymptomatic or whose symptoms are so minor that they don't garner attention. When they get a small exposure (such as happens in cross contamination) and have no symptoms does that equate to no inflammation? We don't necessarily know. The "sensitive" celiac knows without a doubt, however, when they get exposure from cross contamination and the helps them know better what food products to avoid.

      Help!  My 5 year old daughter just stopped eating dairy and gluten due to her EoE and Celiac.  Her favorite candy in the world is tootsie rolls.  I did some research, and it sounds like these are the only options for finding something similar, but I can't find them anywhere to actually purchase.  Have they been discontinued??  Does anyone have another recommendation for a gluten-free/DF tootsie roll option?

      I wonder how long it usually takes and if it is dose dependent as well... or if some ppl have a more pronounced reaction to gluten than others   thanks again for all the great info
