Do you wear an N-95 mask left over from the pandemic when you handle flour?

Do you eat out in restaurants?

Do you take vitamins?

No mask

Do not eat out

My vitamins are gluten free

You may want to wear an N-95 mask to filter out any possible gluten, at least when you handle the flour.

Do you eat processed gluten free foods?

I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.

 mcg Vit. B12Hi dlaino  - You mentioned that you are now feeling sick all the time. If this is making you miserable you might want to go to your health provider, describe what you are feeling and your symptoms so that theySome of the people here can give you useful advice about taking supp;ements and the amounts you could take to improve your overall health. I have increased my Vit. B12  can help you figure out what is happening. Just because you have gluten intolerance does not mean that your current problems are related to that. Some of the people here can give you useful advice about supplements and how much to take for improved health. I recently upped my Vit. D3 from 50 mcg to 150 mcg and now take either 500 mcg or 1000 mcg of vit. B12 sublingual daily instead of once a week.                                   

Take care

Hi im from northern europe are blood type 0+ have celiac with code K900 on the paper from doctor, have low vitamin D and b12 and folate, zinc, manganese and high copper it say in test. The best food i have eaten for now is LCHF, i tried paleo but i was missing the dairy. And i love the cream in sauces. LCHF is good choice there is no grains in the dishes. It's completly gluten free lifestyle i say. Because i feel good to eat it.

Low carb high fat , this diet is good fo diabetes patients and those who want to get down in weight and have their bloodsugar on good levels. They don't eat carbs they eat high fat products as high fat is not dangerous. It's a myth. Your get more gallstones without fat. When i start eat more fat my gallstones have went off. They not eat grains and sugar. They eat whole fat products and feel better then ever. When i did not eat so much fat before i had problems with my gallbladder and stones. When i started LCHF my doctor said all of my stones have dissapear from gallbladder from last screening of my bladder. I feel better and not tired as i had eat a lot of carbs then my bloodsugar should go up and down like a carousel. Carbs will turn my body to sugar and store as fat. Many doctors now have changed their minds that high fat was so dangerous. But now it have better respond to protect our body. I eat it and i have not feel so good ever. Its a lifestyle for me. I had diabetes 2 before now i don't need to take my insulin anymore.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
