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.

      TTG IgA 0.30 U/ml: further tests?

      By lookingforanswersone · Posted

      Hi, a query about testing. Background: I have existing diagnosis of pernicious anaemia (b12 deficiency) autoimmune condition. Diagnosed 5 years ago.  Symptoms for 10 years. Initially got better with b12 shots (for like a month or so) but still kicking around. So query Celiac and other clustered autoimmune conditions to PA. If celaic it would maybe be more silent as don't get vomiting, diarrhea or weight loss. Symptoms = chronic fatigue. Muscular&skeletal pain. Hot hands and feet (worse an night), nausea after eating, tiredness after consuming food like bread and pasta.  Celiac screen came back (private blood test): TTG IgA 0.30 U/ml.  My main question is, is it worth getting total iga for further testing ? I have been advised that 'low' would only count as 0 U/ml for TTG IgA not .3.  Oh and did the genetic testing and have the gene thing. Was also critically low for folate levels in recent tests  All other tests showed no likelihood of other autoimmune conditions like thyroid (luckily). Anyhow, any thoughts welcome but be kind, just trying to get well l.

      Gluten free Areds 2 Vitamins

      It looks like they are naturally gluten-free, but not labeled gluten-free. It's unlikely that they contain any gluten, but not impossible. This is the one I looked at: https://www.preservision.com/areds-2-formula-minigels/

      Welcome to the gluten-free journey—it sounds like you’ve been through a lot, but it’s great to hear you’re feeling better since cutting out gluten! The struggle to get clear answers can be so frustrating, especially when tests come back negative but your body is clearly reacting. It’s smart to hold off on retesting for celiac until you’ve reintroduced gluten (if you choose to), but in the meantime, listening to how your body responds is key. The overlap with perimenopause and gut issues is no joke—hormones really do throw everything into chaos! It’s awesome that you’re working with a kinesiologist and focusing on whole foods; that’s helped so many of us here too. And yes, eating out is a minefield. 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. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      @Izelle, you are welcome! It is important to know that beginning the gluten-free diet or even a reduced gluten diet previous to celiac testing will invalidate the testing. One should seek out testing before experimenting with eliminating gluten. Also, remember that celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune disease. When a celiac consumes gluten it triggers an autoimmune response that damages the lining of the small bowel. That can be confusing to a lot of people because it is an autoimmune response that involves food. So, allergy testing is of no use in diagnosing celiac disease. Of course, people can also have allergies to wheat, barley or rye (the three gluten-containing grains) but that is an entirely different immune system response.

      Gluten Intolerance And Low White Blood Cell Counts?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello Suze and welcome to the forum. Can you tell us which country you are posting from?  The reason I ask is that in some countries, it is quite a good idea to be tested for coeliac disease because if it turns out you are a coeliac, you will be given additional support by the government.  For example if you live in the UK, the NHS offers support from a nutritionist, DEXA bone scans to check for osteoporosis/osteopenia to which coeliacs are sometimes prone, additional vaccinations against certain illnesses, annual reviews with a gastroenterologist to check for dietary compliance and possible health complications, and, in some regions, a prescription to help with the purchase of gluten free bread and other staples, which can be pricey. Another example is Italy.  According to the Celiac Disease Foundation, in Italy, coeliacs are given up to 140 Euros a month to buy specifically gluten free food.  (Source: https://celiac.org/gluten-free-living/global-associations-and-policies/policies-around-the-world/#:~:text=Diagnosed celiacs receive vouchers to,to deal with celiac disease.) But with regards to your white blood cells, my levels were similarly low from memory a couple of years ago during a period of quite high stress.  It was picked up in a pre-op blood test.  But nobody blinked an eyelid at the results.  A few months later at my coeliac review with my gastroenterologist the levels had normalised.  As you are concerned, do raise it with your doctor, but it could well just be a blip as it was in my case.
