I noticed my  gluten sensitivity problem started 2 yeats ago after I had my gallbladder removed.  I had to figure it out on my own what my problem was .my sister -who is a nurse practitioner -suggested to me that maybe I am allergic to gluten? I asked her what is gluten ?that was two years ago I have noticed a definite correlation between all my gastrointestinal problems starting after my gallbladder was removed.  as soon as I accidentally ingest gluten my stomach swells up so tight it feels like it will burst have a terrible pain right at the site of where my gall bladder was removed.  I'm so thankful for the site I've learned so much from all of you it is a hard road to travel to try to find things and you can eat that will not make you sick keep posting. I think it gives all of us encouragement! thank you.

First this is a old post please check date, second, are you celiac/been tested? You should probably see about a gluten challenge and testing if you have not. Or are you confirmed to have a gluten/wheat allergy? What kind of testing was done to determine this? Or is it a NCGS gluten issue? Sorry for the questions but different people have different issues and it is a bit hard to address them without more information. Perhaps start a new thread and feel free to introduce yourself. We always welcome new members and are glad to help out. You mention allergy but also mention swelling stomach/gut which is is sometime a celiac reaction generally.

Hi,

Meats, veggies, nuts and eggs are good choices.  Starchy veggies like white potatoes and rice are probably bad choices.

It's easier to keep gluten out of your diet if you eat a simple diet with limited ingredients.  Baked goods especially store bought ones are usually loaded with extra sugar and carbs that we don't need.  A paleo style diet might be a good choice for you.

There are almond milks available in stores.  And also diary free cheese subs.

T1 is common in Celiacs, same with lactose intolerance which might resolve later. The enzymes to break down lactose are produced by the villi which are damaged/destroyed by celiac. Going gluten free might fix this, but some like me keep the issues. I also do not have sugar or carbs for both another AI disease and the fact they spike my blood sugar.

Simple meals, omelettes, stews, chili, soup, baked/grilled meats, etc. A paleo based diet with limits on fruits and starchy veggies is a good idea. Keto works for me and some T2s but with T1 you will have to talk to a doctor.
 I have found sugar free and low carb alternatives to most foods, dairy free cheeses, etc. Heck even, pizza, nachos, breads, muffins, and cakes are still on my menu...just different versions. If you need help I can point you at brands, products, recipes.

      Since I've been a member of this forum,  I've seen some people write that they have not been able to tolerate corn, and others nightshades - tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers (including bell peppers, chili peppers, and paprika).    However, intolerances can be short term, just while you are healing.    So bear this in mind if you start dropping certain foods from your diet - you may well be able to eat them again once you are healed.

      Welcome to the forum, @Izelle! Normally, the diagnosis of celiac disease involves two stages.  The first stage involves a simple blood test that looks for antibodies that are pretty specific to celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that attacks the lining of the small bowel which produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood with tests specifically designed for this purpose. There are a number of these tests that can be run. Some are more specific for celiac disease and thus more reliable than others. The two most common antibody tests ordered by physicians when diagnosing celiac disease are the "total IGA" and the "tTG-IGA" test. At least these two should always be ordered. Here is a an article outlining the subject matter of celiac antibody tests:  If the tTG-IGA levels are 10x normal then it is becoming common practice in some countries to grant a celiac diagnosis on the bloodwork alone. The second stage involves an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to look for the damage to the small bowel lining typically caused by celiac disease's inflammatory process over time. This is usually done in response to one or more positives from the blood antibody testing and constitutes confirmation of the antibody testing to eliminate the possibility of false positives.

      Hi there, Please can you tell me exactly how this disease is diagnosed? I am also from South Africa Regards Izelle

      Thank you for saying that. That doctor diagnosed me with IBS with no follow-up so the relationship is already concluded. If I pursue diagnosis further I'll request someone else.
