I literally made an account and found this page again just so I could get the word out for my fellow Celiac fish lovers. I did a major tank change and I had my arm in my fish tank on and off for hours yesterday and my skin is on fire my head hurts so bad I'm nauseous and weak. I washed my arm as soon as I was done but it wasn't enough. And I don't have arm length gloves. I just got over a month-long flare up so you can imagine my frustration to wake up feeling crappy again.. And I'm on a very very strict gluten-free diet I do not go out to eat anymore everything is certified. I used to have a brand of fish food that didn't have wheat gluten in it at the least and that brand put wheat in it.. I could not find the food anywhere. It's non existent except... I might have found the food. I'm ordering it I can update on whether my fish like it and if so this will be my go-to.

It's actually fairly cheap really simple healthy ingredients. Shipping was five something I was afraid shipping was going to hurt. So I mean it's not your McDonald's of food so you're not going to pay McDonald's prices lol but you look up the grain free they have a bunch of grain free options. I don't know about the contaminants but I know it can't be as bad as my fish food that has the third ingredient being wheat gluten. Please give it a try and if it works out for you please spread the word because fish don't like gluten it's not good for them, wheat is not good for them. Barley is not good for them so for your health and their's spread the word!

I doubt fish evolved to eat gluten, so this makes sense. Just be sure to watch for any signs of infection because my uncle caught a severe infection when working on his outside fish pond. Your symptoms may be due to gluten exposure, but it's also possible it could be something else.

In case anybody randomly sees this I have been using the grain-free fish food from your fish stuff for almost a year. My fish love it I can stick my arm and my tank without getting sick. It's cheap it's works it's good it's healthy! There are so many different options. I use the betta food even though I don't have any bettas anymore and all my fish love it even the algae eaters but I got algae ones for them as well which is also green free. Simple ingredients I couldn't be happier! It's a miracle

I hear you and I am aware of all the things that could be going on in my fish tank LOL it is not an easy Hobby or cheap but when it's clear as day those are the symptoms that I only get when I have a loaf of bread on my counter and since I switched the food, change the tank, the entire tank, I don't get sick anymore when I stick my arm in there. It's like salt it doesn't get filtered out so it was building up forever, I had grain-free prior and it wasn't a problem and then I couldn't find it anymore. But yeah you can straight catch tuberculosis from sticking your hand in a fish tank without knowing what diseases are going on.

This is another option I found. My son just started a tank and I’m hoping this is a safer option for him to use. They had free same day delivery.

      Refractory celiac disease

      By Grahamsnaturalworld · Posted

      Where can I find a gastro in adelaide who can diagnose refractory celiac disease have seen 3 so far and don't understand the most obvious question, why my celiac symptoms did not resolve on a gluten free diet the symptoms just got worse as it is attacking my nervous system.

      GliadinX/Tolerase G

      By ShariW · Posted

      I recently traveled to Spain and Portugal. I was with a tour group, they knew I needed to be gluten-free and made sure the kitchens preparing the group meals were aware. But just in case, I took Gliadin-X with me and took it for every evening meal - and most other meals. The one time I got glutened was from lunch early in the trip - had to be from cross-contamination. I had not taken Gliadin-X before that meal, which made for a pretty miserable day. Learned my lesson... 😞

      Diagnosis confusion

      By Hummer01 · Posted

      Hi trents, thanks for the response.  The 2nd opinion doctor said that if my CRP is still elevated at that time, he would advise me to look at Crohns/UC or another autoimmune issue. The colonoscopy I had this year seemed to rule those 2 out for now so he still believed celiac may explain it. No previous doctors have suggested any explanation for it even after calling to tell me it was a concerning result.  I guess it feels tough knowing I have positive blood testing, permissive genetics, and visible duodenum changes... and somehow it's NCGS instead of celiac. I'm still surprised the biopsies came back negative when the doctor was so sure they would be positive.

      Diagnosis confusion

      By trents · Posted

      "He also said that my CRP should return to a normal level at this time if the culprit was inflammation in the small intestine due to celiac." But with if the elevated CRP levels are caused by some other inflammatory process going on in your body? "She also said that my positive EMA isn't valuable because it has "a high false positive rate." Totally wrong! This is a highly accurate test for celiac disease, that requires specialized expertise to perform and interpret, and it is more expensive than other blood tests. It is generally used as a last test to confirm celiac disease after a positive tTG-IgA test. The sensitivity of a test refers to its ability to correctly identify individuals with the condition. For the EMA-IgA blood test, the sensitivity is generally very high, ranging from 90% to 98%. This means that the test can accurately detect celiac disease in a significant percentage of people who have the condition. The specificity of a test refers to its ability to correctly identify individuals without the condition. For the EMA-IgA blood test, the specificity is also high, typically around 95% to 100%. This indicates that the test can effectively rule out celiac disease in individuals who do not have the condition. Taken from the following article: Looking at the whole picture, I am wondering if you are transitioning from NCGS to celiac disease. Some experts in the gluten disorder field believe NCGS can be a precursor to celiac disease.

      Diagnosis confusion

      By Hummer01 · Posted

      Hi all, just wanted to post an update.  I have been gluten free for about 1.5 months now and seeing improvement already in the bathroom.  Recently I had a visit with another GI doctor for a 2nd opinion. He said that while my blood tests and scope are not a "slam dunk" for celiac, he believes it's more likely than not that I have it. His advice was to stay with a celiac-level gluten free diet (no CC) for 6-12 months then retest to make sure TTG-IGA is still negative. He also said that my CRP should return to a normal level at this time if the culprit was inflammation in the small intestine due to celiac.  Today I had a follow up with the original GI that performed the scope. She is confident it is NCGS and says I can still have gluten sometimes. When I asked about the visible duodenum damage, she said it is just "irritation" from gluten because the biopsies were negative. She also said that my positive EMA isn't valuable because it has "a high false positive rate."  I guess I'm having trouble reconciling the totally different advice from these 2 GI's. I want to believe the new doctor more at this point because what he said just makes more sense to me, and he gave an actionable timeline for possible next steps. Feeling lost and disappointed at this point and wanted to write it down here in case anyone has input. Thank you.
