I dont know if its just me and im more in tuned with my body since my DX, but I feel as though i am becoming more sensitive to foods that I normally wasnt too....I dont know if its an allergy thing, but I def feel something, and it all started after i went gluten-free....

I figured out I had a slew of other food intolerances. It's easier to see other things when the gluten gets cleared out of the way. For me, I had had the other intolerances for a while, but couldn't notice them while still consuming gluten. I did a food journal and also had a food intolerance test done. At this time I have given up casein and eat only a very little soy. I am going to experiment with eliminating other foods eventually. I also, although technically not intolerant to, can not eat turkey, caffeine or most corn products because of abdominal pain.

I agree - once I eliminated the gluten, I was able to identify other foods I cannot eat. Once you start narrowing it down, it gets even easier - although, yeast was a difficult one for me to figure out and it took the longest.

I did a food journal for a month and it really helped.

Now that you've been gluten-free for a while, have you been able to reintroduce any of the other foods that gave you problems?

I have tried several times without success, I still cannot eat any of those foods and my docs (PCP and Allergiest) don't think I ever will.

I'm not Kate, but I'll chime in that I've been able to gradually re-introduce vinegar after about 3 months off all yeast-related foods. Woo-hoo!

Yup I definitely have the same problem. Even things that arent even food-related allergies are more sensative since i've been gluten-free. And i remember when i had allergy tests done a few years ago, some of the weirdest things came up as allergic to (even meats and such).

I cant eat most vegetables .. raw, or boiled, most of them make me sick. and not just gassy or give me the runs, but actually sick as I do when i have slight contact with gluten :blink:

I dont know if what i just said make sense haha .. so sorry if i confused you. just me blabbing that i have same problems sometimes :P

It seems so! Once I got gluten and dairy out of the picture, I noticed that my eczema flared up whenever I had vinegar, so I cut out all yeast-related products for awhile. I tried a little bit maybe once a month, and my reaction got gradually less severe until after about 3 months I didn't seem to react. So I've been gradually adding it back in. I'm still not sure it's a good idea in large doses, but I'm not seeing the clear correlation between vinegar and eczema that I was before.

I have also become aware of LOADS of intolerances/sensitivites since going gluten-free 10 months ago. I had never been aware of them before. I don't really understand it at all to be honest.

I have a terrible rice intolerance, cannot tolerate alcohol at all, seeds, peanuts, chocolate, sugar, legumes and any processed food at all.

Its a nightmare. The homeopath says its because I have "Leaky Gut Syndrome" and hopefully at least some of them should go away.

I thought going gluten-free was going to sort everything out!

Yeah! Its like I had to clear up the noise from the gluten to figure out it wasn't the only thing. Dairy, possibly corn, chocolate... all seem to be a problem to me.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
