Hi people, i got my results yesterday from hospital here in North Sweden that i have allergy to gluten doctor say and i also have little allergy to milk. I never heard of gluten allergy before he could say celiac was a better way to say it. But is gluten allergy the same? He didnt say it was wheat allergy, only gluten allergy. He send me a letter home that say that i wrote here. He saw that i have a inflammation in my colon and i have difficult to melt down fat in food, because the colon is inflammed. Thats why i have being on the b12 and folate supplements because my colon has been inflammed. When i was to doctor in 2019 they only say i have anxiety, anorexia and other stupid things. When i told them that i have so pain in my stomach , feels that a rat eating me inside. But they say you have anxiety, i have not had that i am always calm, never stressed.

Hi!

Thanks for sharing your story. I am not a medical professional, so this is not medical advice. I can see how what your doctor said would be confusing. I would ask your doctor for clarification. 

Technically celiac is not a "true allergy". Sometimes the word allergy is used incorrectly. 

Did you have an endoscopy/biopsy to discover the inflammation? Did you have any blood tests with that? If So, do you know which of your antibodies were tested? For celiac disease they test for certain IgA and IgG antibodies. But for allergies they look for IgE antibodies.

I actually love the fact that this online community is international. Don't worry about the language difficulties. You are doing great! 🙂

It does sound like Celiac. Inflammation in the duodenum is what they look for to confirm the diagnosis. 

Often those of us with celiac disease have other food intolerances as well. Milk is a common one. The current thought is that the damage in our small intestines causes us to have a "leaky gut". That causes our bodies to react to those foods.

Perhaps your doctor used the term “allergy” because most people understand that better than “celiac disease”?  

Inflammation in the duodenum plus a positive tissue transglutaminase does sound like celiac disease.  Were you told to go gluten free?

We have gluten free food, but we don't get any financial assistance to help pay for it. We have to pay out of our own pocket.

Sad to hear it would be good to have financial assistance in US too. So people with Celiac can have money to buy glutenfree because its more expensive then normal food.

The celiac damage causes the leaky gut. But the leaky gut is what causes our bodies to react negatively/develop intolerances to other foods. I also can't tolerate milk and certain raw vegetables.

Especially gluten free bread items! That is a common theme for people like us.

I think that there are some creative ways to help cut down on the cost a bit. But it definitely involves cooking everything from scratch yourself. It also involves researching each ingredient to make sure that it is gluten free. 

Sometimes I can also find less expensive mixes online. Then I will ask some of my gluten free friends nearby if they want to order as well. Often times, if we order together, then we can make the order big enough that we can get free shipping.

I aim for under 10ppm. For  those of us with celiac, the closer to zero we can get the better.🙂

I am still working on that one myself. Sometimes it requires trial and error. I like using King Arthur gluten free measure for measure flour. But not all gluten free flours work for all recipes. My experience so far is that you probably will have more success with a flour mix that contains xanthan gum.

This is a link to a recipe that I have had the most success with so far.

https://www.mamaknowsglutenfree.com/gluten-free-pie-crust/#recipe

I also find it helpful to measure the gluten free flour by weight instead of measuring cups. I feel like I get a better outcome that way. 

I also see that some people on this site have posted recipes using almond flour for more of a graham cracker style crust or coconut flour. 

I hope this helps!

I can eat soybeans, but I don't handle soy milk very well. A small amount in another product is ok for me. But if the base of the product is soy milk (like soy yogurt), then I am better off if I avoid it. 

I have never investigated eating according to blood type.

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
