Could this be poisoning me?

Hello Everyone,

I am a month into my Gluten Free diet and the abdominal pains have pretty much gone away, but I do have constant pain & some days I do feel the brain fog & anxiety worse than others. I know I still have a long road to recovery & that its very easy for newcomers to accidentally gluten themselves as we are as experienced.

So I was healthy prior to Celiac, so the transition hasn't been to bad. Just the occasional things I had to cut out, and not eat out at restaurants for the time being. The hardest part for me is no longer being able to drink my favorite beers! I have found one called Omissions, which is labeled "brewed to remove gluten". I believe they brew with gluten containing ingredients then use an enzyme to break it down afterwards. I have read a lot of mixed reviews on this beer & how it affects celiac/gluten sensitive people. But I was hoping someone had some insight on this beer as it has become one of my favorites. Obviously won't be if it does seem to be what is giving me those bad days.

Also does anyone have any recommendations on beer they like that is safe for Celiacs. I was the typical Bud Light or really any light beer kind of guy. I have been told my numerous people that Corona meets the minimum pump requirement, but not sure if that is safe either.

Any information would be awesome!

Welcome to the forum!

I would go with a gluten-removed beer like Omission, rather than a regular, low gluten beer like Corona or Bud Light. We did an article on various gluten-free and gluten removed beers which might give you more ideas:

      I don't believe that existing life insurance policies require such notifications--health checks are typically done before such policies are obtained. I believe it would primarily affect any new policy you get, and perhaps any policy renewal.

      You could go gluten-free now, and then start eating lots of gluten for at least 2 weeks before your endoscopy--just be sure to tell your doctor about this beforehand. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      If I'm not mistaken, you need to count by the grams of GLUTEN, not the gram weight of the bread.  So, instead of counting each slice of bread as 35 grams, it would be counted as 2 grams, so that's why the recommendation is 5 slices a day = 10 grams.  One of the moderators can correct me if I'm wrong on that!

      Question re: life/health insurance: if you're already under these policies, do you have to notify them if you receive an official diagnosis, or is that only for new policies?  I have had two active term life insurance policies for many years that I pay a set amount into.  And my employer covers my health insurance.  So, do I need to let them both know if I do become officially diagnosed?  I'm glad I read this, because that would certainly be marked off in the "disadvantage" box for me!

      I'm new here so I'm not sure if I'm allowed to recommend doctors?  But I am in Manhattan and see Dr. Lauren Schwartz at Manhattan Gastroenterology.  I am still in the process of (potentially) being diagnosed and she has been wonderful.  She has experience in Celiac and has a very calming bedside manner.  I feel confident I'll get the right diagnosis with her.  Give her a try if she takes your insurance.  Good luck!
