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.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      @Riley., Welcome to the forum.   It was once believed that Celiac Disease was only a childhood disease and it can be outgrown.  That was before 1951, before gluten was discovered to be cause of Celiac Disease, also called Infantilism.  Back then Cileac Disease was thought to be only a gastro intestinal disease, once you  "outgrew" the colicky phase, you were cured. You were so lucky to be diagnosed at 5 years old so your developing years were normal.  Gluten can affect multiple systems.  The nervous system, your intellegence. The muscules, skeleton. It can cause neurological issues like brain fog, anxiety, and peripheral neuropathy.  It can cause joint pain, muscle weakness, and skin rashes. Epilepsy is 1.8 times more prevalent in patients with celiac disease, compared to the general population. Because through malabsorption and food avoidances, it causes vitamin D and numerouus other essential nutrient deficiencies, it allows allergies, infections, poor growth, stuffy sinuses and eustacian tubes. There is even a catagory of celiac disease called "Silent Celiac".  Any symptoms are explained away as this, that or the other thing. Gluten is one of the most addictive substances we consume.  Activating the Opiod receptors in our cells, it can numb us to the damage that it, and other foods are causing.  It has become socially acceptable to eat foods that make us feel sick.  "There's a pill for that".   It is generally accepted that n fact you are weird if you don't. The hardest part is that if you don't eat gluten you will feel great and think why not.  But slowly it will effect you, you'll be diagnosed with real diseases that you don't have. You'll be more susseptable to other autoimmune diseases.  As you read through the posts here, notice how many are finally dianosed, after years of suffering at older ages.  Is it worth it? I think not. Perhaps this book will help:  Here is a list of possible symptoms:

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Riley. · Posted

      Hi! Im Riley, 18 years old and have been diagnosed for 13 years.. the testing started bc I stopped growing and didn’t gain any weight and was really small and thin for my age.  I got diagnosed when I was 5 and have been living gluten free since, in elementary and middle school it was hard for me and I kept contaminating myself bc I wanted to fit in with my friends so so badly. I ate gluten secretly at school and mostly regretted it 30 minutes later.  I’ve had symptoms like diarrhea, nausea, headaches, stomachaches, threw up a lot and was really emotional.  In 2022 I really started working on myself and tried to stay gluten free and if I did eat gluten I wouldn’t tell anyone and suffer in silence.  Last year in July I begged my mom to let me „cheat“ one day bc I just wanted to fit in… I ate a lot of different stuff, all the stuff I missed out on in my childhood like nuggets, pizza and all that.. I didn’t have symptoms that day and was doing really fine My mom and I wanted to test how far we can go and said we would test it for 12 weeks to get my blood taken after to see if I’m doing good or if symptoms start showing  As a now 18 year old girl who finally gained a normal weight and doesn’t get symptoms I’m to scared to get tested/my blood taken cuz I finally found comfort in food and it got so much easier for me and my family.  A year and 4 months later i still didn’t get any symptoms and have been eating gluten daily.  I’m scared to get tested/my blood taken cuz what if I’m actually not fine and have to go back to eating gluten free. Any tips to get over that fear and „suck it up“ cuz I know I could seriously damage my body… sorry if I seem like a idiot here… just don’t really know what to do :,)

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better
