Miamia....good luck today!! I'll be thinking about you and hoping that all goes well with the injections and the tests. :)

Does a person still have to take lots of probiotics when antibiotics are administered intraveneously?? :unsure:

Rachel-

I still am going to be on my regular probiotic plus I have been taking threelac for candida issues- this I could not handle at first but then retried and have been alright with. I will ask him today if he feels I need to take extra probiotics but it might be not as big a deal since I am not taking the antibiotics orally.

:lol::lol:

That was funny.

I was actually wondering if maybe I should change the sub-title of the thread...the part about eating dairy again. I was thinking it might be more helpful to people if they knew what the thread was about. But then again the topic never stays the same so I just dont know what would best describe the thread content?? :unsure:

Any ideas?? What do you guys think.....or should it just remain as is....or maybe no sub-title at all??

the Ohh my god maybe I can eat melted ice cream thread

I think I had an OMG I might be onto something moment today in that I think I have discovered another allergen/intolerance: Grapes!!!! Every once in a while my stomach becomes enormous and I get itchy ALL over. Can grapes do this and are any of you intolerant to grapes?

On the colds thing. I have had constant colds all of my life, with the exception of last winter. It was my first winter Gluten free!!! NOt a coincidence!

Hi there...I am not really intolerant to the grapes I think, but they do sometimes give me problems, so I tend to not have them frequently. But, something I ate this weekend puffed my tummy up! Can't really figure out what.

Miamia - good luck at the appointment today!!

Rachel - I have to get up at 4:00 too, although I'm trying an experiment this week to see if I can sleep until 4:30, lol. Not working so far. :lol:

Hum, I don't know about the subtitle thing...I'll think on it. :P

This is 2 1/2 months later and we are still experiencing the symptoms. My doctor recommended that we take a histamine blocker regularly for 3 to 4 months.

I have since learned that MSG - Monosodium Glutamate - Ajinamoto

A white, crystalline salt used to flavor food, especially in China and Japan.

The two raw materials used for the greater proportion of commercial production are wheat gluten and desugared beet-sugar molasses. (Source: Open Original Shared Link)

I didn't realize that MSG could be in other foods/items. Thank you for the link to Open Original Shared Link.

Sincerely,

Hiasun

That's a long time for a reaction. :o

Haven't looked into the link you provided yet, but it sounds interesting. Wheat gluten.....is there anything it's not in?

But then again the topic never stays the same so I just dont know what would best describe the thread content?? :unsure:

I think it should cover the basic idea of this thread which is troubleshooting, brainstorming health issues that don't resolve with the gluten free diet.

OMG...I Might Be On To Something a place to discuss multiple food sensitivities/other health problems.

But, something I ate this weekend puffed my tummy up! Can't really figure out what.

Did you eat anything different lately? Could it be that pie you've had recently.

Hiasun,

I don't know how old your children are but some vaccinations contain msg as well.

Thanks for that link. Lot's of info on that site. :)

Rachel -- If you set a precedent and change the sub-title, you would likely have to change it again every 760 pages or so. :P

Mia -- Hope the treatment has some positive effects for you.

I am off to work to continue the "screening" process for work. The military medical people are now concerend about the "sensitivity to gluten" that was noted in my file. This should only take about all day to clear up. I would hate to think that this will kill any chance of further career advancement for me though.

Well, here goes nothing. I'll fill you all in as soon as I can.

Ryan,

I hope things go smoothly. It seems the military has ways of messing up people's careers for what I see as nothing. Why must people make such a big deal over being gluten free! :unsure:

Heck....if I never eat them I wont get re-sensitized...right?? ;)

Rachel - will you be tested for different temperatures of icecream?! :lol: Looking forward to hearing how it goes :)

I've started my elimination diet today. I'm rather fed up this evening as DH is eating loads of Christams chocolate. Doesn't quite compare with winter squash and fish lol! I think I need to reschedule my eating habits. I seem to need loads in the morning and it tails off througout the day. It's a bit awkward as I work mornings, but I think I'm going to have to have 2 breakfasts! My stomach really hurts tonight as I ate some with DS & DH but didn't really need to :ph34r:

DS likes this diet as I'm actually eating fish and he loves fish. We had to fight him off our plates to stop him eating our salmon this evening! (He's only 3 1/2!).

I've booked an appointment to see the GP with DS for next Monday to get him the blood test panel again, as his complaints of stomach and knee pains are on the increase :( If it comes back negative, we'll likely try him gluten free anyways. Not sure how he would take eating gluten free as he thinks I do because I'm a mummy (as he and DH aren't gluten-free, he's figured that it's not something boys do!! :lol: ).

Yep, it's hard to follow the diet when others are eating really good stuff, lol. Chocolate is supposed to be on the last things added back on the info that my doctor gave me, but heck, I can't even get past the first couple...I may never see chocolate. :lol:

Not sure how he would take eating gluten free as he thinks I do because I'm a mummy (as he and DH aren't gluten-free, he's figured that it's not something boys do!! :lol: ).

That's cute, lol!

ditto haha. that would be too funny.

maybe we should add some sort of short introduction to the beginning of the first post explaining what the thread is about? lol i dunno...

Well Happy New Year everyone. I'm in front of the computer today job searching (worst thing ever) but so far I've just been reading emails and this board and uploading pictures and I applied to be on a volunteer team (NONE of these things will help me make money :blink:)

Oh and I have a quick question, since you all are experts on toxins....is there a certain kind of water bottle you drink out of that doesn't leach toxins into the water? I bought a stainless steel one but it gives me a headache and makes the water taste like metal. Is glass the best option, toxin wise?

Fish is so easy to eat also. :)

:lol::lol: He'll have to learn sometime that it's just not for mummy's. Cute!

Good idea M. Rachel would have to add to it since it's her post. Just a basic synopse of the stuff this thread covers.....well most of it. :)

Mercola says glass is best for water.

Good luck on the job search. What you've been doing today sounds like much more fun, I must say. :)

Yeah....they always say that glass bottles are the best choice. I dunno where the heck to find water thats bottled in glass though....I havent seen it yet....except one kind but it had added minerals. :(

I'm off to BioSet now...I feel like bringing a bottle of Corona with me and telling the lady to DE-SENSITIZE me. :P

Oh yeah....and also a lime. :lol:

Corona ... that would be bad for you on SOOOO many levels!! First the citrus (Lime, and what's a Corona without one), then the wheat, then the alcohol! Maybe you should try getting desensitized to a non-alcoholic wine! :blink:

I had coconut yesterday...I have never had a problem with it that I noticed before, but maybe because I haven't had any in a long time. I also had some white tea with vanilla in it, hum, maybe I should double check the ingredients to see what kind of vanilla.

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @thejayland10, Do you still consume dairy?  Dairy can cause increased tTg IgA levels in some people with celiac disease who react to casein, the protein in dairy, just like to gluten.   You might try cutting out the processed gluten free foods.  Try a whole foods, no carbohydrate Paleo diet instead, like the AIP diet (the Autoimmune Protocol Diet by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself). Processed gluten free foods can be full of excess carbohydrates which can alter your microbiome leading to Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).  SIBO is found in some people who are not responding to a gluten free diet.  SIBO can elevate tTg IgA levels.  The AIP diet cuts out sources of carbohydrates like rice, potatoes (nightshades), quinoa, peas, lentils, legumes, which starves out the SIBO bacteria.  Better bacteria can then proliferate.   I followed the AIP diet to get rid of my SIBO.  It's a strict diet, but my digestive tract had time to rest and heal.  I started feeling better within a few days.  Feeling improvement so soon made sticking to the AIP diet much easier. References: Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth among patients with celiac disease unresponsive to a gluten free diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7759221/   Luminal antigliadin antibodies in small intestinal bacterial overgrowth https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9260801/#:~:text=Luminal total IgA concentrations (p,response to local bacterial antigens.   Potato glycoalkaloids adversely affect intestinal permeability and aggravate inflammatory bowel disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12479649/

      New to gluten free living, in5ro and small question

      By trents · Posted

      First, welcome to the forum, @boy-wonder! Second, a little clarification in terminology is in order. Granted, inconsistency is rampant when it comes to the terminology associated with gluten disorders, but it has more or less become settled in this fashion: "Gluten intolerance" is a general term that car refer to either celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). "Gluten Sensitivity" is the shortened version of NCGS. Third, Celiac disease is not an allergy to gluten. It is an autoimmune disorder characterized by gluten ingestion causing the immunes system to attack the lining of the small bowel, causing damage to it over time due to the constant inflammation that wears down the "villi" (mucosal finger-like projections that make up the lining). Over a significant period of time as gluten continues to be consumed, this generally results in impaired nutrient absorption. There are specific blood antibody tests available to check for celiac disease but the testing will not be valid while on a reduced gluten diet or a gluten free diet. Those already having having begun a gluten free diet must go back to consuming generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks if they wish to pursue testing for celiac disease. Fourth, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both. Fifth, you state that you are convince you don't have celiac disease by are just "gluten intolerant" (aka, gluten sensitive). How do you know that? It seems to me you are making a dangerous assumption here. I suggest you consider getting formally tested for celiac disease.

      Gluten free parakeet food

      By AllyJR · Posted

      Has anyone found a gluten free parakeet seed mix? I can't find a single one! My doctor wants me to make sure all pet food in the house is gluten free but I'm not sure if that's even possible with parakeets. We love our birds so much! I'm wondering if anyone has ever made their own bird seed mix if gluten free ones are not available.

      New to gluten free living, in5ro and small question

      By boy-wonder · Posted

      Hi, new member. About me, I had been suffering with weight gain, bloating and irregular and extreme bowel habits for a year or so. For example, I went on holiday in 2023, then again I  2024 at the same time of year and every shirt I wore in 2023 didn't fit anymore, couldn't even do the buttons up. Being in my mid 50s I put it down to age and middle aged spread. I'd been lucky all my life having good metabolism and being able to eat anything and as much as I like without putting on any weight, it drove my other half mad. Over a conversation with a friend health and age Related stuff came up and he mentioned someone he knew who had recently found out they were gluten intolerant,  I looked it up and had every one of 8 or so symptoms listed. Bloating,  weight gain,  headaches, brain fog,  constipation, etc etc. I took the decision to give going gluten free a try. Within 1 week I had lost 4 lb, now 7 weeks in I've lost 13 lb. I feel much better in general,  the bloating has severely subsided, it used to keep me awake at night as I felt so uncomfortable.  So pretty much a success story, as everyone here knows,  going gluten free isn't always easy, and eating out can be awkward,  but I consider myself lucky that I appear to have an intolerance rather than an allergy or being celiac.  I can deal with most of the gluten free options at the supermarket but, the big one for me is bread, I love bread, and the gluten free options I've tried are pretty poor. I was at a posh black tie event last night and chose all the food options I thought would be gluten free,  however,  there was bread on the table and I couldn't resist it, I had I small piece of bread,  god it was good, I wanted more but I resisted. Today I feel a bit dodgy, my stomach is churning, and I generally feel a bit urgh.  So here's the question, is that really down to 1 small piece of bread or is it coincidence?  I'd be interested in hearing how other people have reacted to a similar situation,  as I was considering having a day off every now and then and enjoying some lovely fresh bread.
