Ok, I have a question...or a couple.. :blink: Can we eat any butter that we want? Also I heard that the Crunchy Cheetos are gluten free but when I read the label I am not sure.

I am new to this and have not been dx with celiac disease yet but really think I have it. Wheat has always gave me a few hives but then so did other foods. To make a long story short as I can....In Dec. I got my hives back again along with a dry mouth but before all of this remember being very sick to my stomach like never before and had to go #2 ALOT...Anyway that went away and now I am left with thumbs moving towards my fingers, twitches all over my body all the time at rest, muscles are very tight, rigid left arm when curling downward, shoulders and neck also now rigid, started with pins and needles and now when I smile my left eye twitches. My Dr. has told me this is extreme anxiety in which I have had but I am telling him it is because of the symptoms I am having. I went to Neuro Dr. he says not MS but cannot have MRI because I have a heart defib implant, which is turned off by the way because in Sept it malfunctioned and shocked me 35 times. ...so I am going to have a EMG done and some other things but does this sound like Ataxia to anyone...OR celiac disease? I have also had internal tremors but now gone but still have this buzzing or wierd sensation on triceps and back, neck...Anyway that is my story any info please....I know I have to get tested which I am asking for tomorrow when I see my Dr. I am so scared that I have Ataxia....Anyway still need to know about the butter which I have been eating along with Cheetos, the butter is sweet butter from Food Club..Thank you.

According to Frito Lay's website, *most* of their recipes are gluten-free. Stax are the only product that is produced on completely gluten-free lines. The other products do carry a risk of cc. I've not personally had a problem with Cheetos, Fritos, Doritos, or Lays.

I haven't heard of any butter we can't have.

I've read that there are connections betweek Celiac and epilepsy, so I can see it being possible that your symptoms could be related to vitamin deficiencies. Sounds like you've got lots of testing ahead of you. Good luck.

This could be nerve damage from celiac but it could be other stuff too. It does not however sound like ataxia, more like neuropathy. Ataxia makes you feel like you are very off balance and on the verge of falling. While you are trying to figure all this out it won't hurt to immediately start taking a sublingual B12 vitamin in addition to your regular gluten-free multi. I had ataxia and neuropathy (and lots of other stuff) that were celiac related and was on canadian canes before diagnosis. I am now almost free of nerve problems, only a couple remain, but it took 6 months before I had a real difference. Make sure you also check your toiletries for gluten ingredients and beware of CC.

Still pretty new to this Forum. Im 49 and been on the gluten-free diet on my own for 2 1/2 years after suffering severe Ulcerative Colitis since 89.

You mentioned a regular gluten-free multi? Are you talking One A Day which are gluten-free or is there a special gluten-free multi?

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
