Hey lister,

Ya kinda sound like me, at least in the past. Your body will go completely strange with a food intelorance with many weird and wonderful sensations. Keeping positive is not easy because you naturally feel depressed... if it goes on long, then you switch into that impending doom feeling. The first time you begin to no longer feel this, then you know your system is improving. Most times you can make this happen by eating fruit, like grapefruit for breakfast, mixed fruit at lunch, salad for supper with plain chicken strips, and to drink... stick with water. If you feel tired, take a pick me up.... I usually have a Coke, but only one in a day as too much sugar and you feel bad.

Also, when my symptoms began I had discomfort in my left testical. The doc checked it, found nothing, but it persisted for a long time, then switched to on and off. The biggest problem I had was a really bad upset & bloated stomach.

Pimples... I still get them but in very small numbers. They appear almost anywhere. I'd guess you are having a similar reaction (nothing to worry about).

Stick with a good diet and all should be better (perhaps not perfect, but better). If you still have problems try an elimination diet (i.e. start with rice, and slowly add other items).

Take care,

Steve

Lister, Std's such as herpes can lay dormant for years. It would not mean your girlfriend cheated. The fact that you are not well and possibly your immune system is great right now could bring about a dormant condition that your body used to fight off.

Hi back again. A rash could also be yeast or candida. I have been talking to you on your other thread. This could be likely as well, given what we talked about with candida for you.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
