she could have a problem with just wheat, but then it wouldn't be celiac disease.

Wheat allergies are quite common, so maybe she's got that instead of celiac disease. Why does she think it's just a wheat problem and not gluten?

i think maybe cos she was only noticeing problems after eating certain foods some and some not containing G but all after haveing wheat. she had oats yesterday and felt fint untill today, ide say she has C but im no expert.

I would agree but I am no expert either. She should try to be gluten-free to know for sure.

I started out thinking I just had a wheat allergy. After a couple years avoiding obvious wheat, I started feeling worse and came to realize it was gluten. In the beginning I felt better off wheat because I had been eating so much of it. I ate occasional oats back then, and the reaction was so much less than the one to wheat, I didn't even notice it.

So, she could have a wheat allergy, or it could be celiac disease.

I believe the main problem with oats is the contamination with the wheat. I think that there is debate about whether the oats themselves are a problem or not. Since you're in Europe, maybe the oats she eats aren't contaminated. Just a thought. Someone else probably knows more about it than I do.

I met a woman once who had a wheat allergy/intolerence. She could have other gluten things, but not wheat products.

I quit wheat two years ago and felt so much better. I was not having any digestive symptoms at all when I asked for the Celiac test (positive - came out 35). Ironically, I don't feel as good now digestively as I did before; I'm either adjusting or whatever.

Point being, I had no symptoms from eating spelt. I just got concerned that if stopping wheat made such a difference, I should double check that i wasn't doing small harm to myself whenever I had my toast and poached eggs. (I miss my toast and poached eggs.)

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight.  My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she suggested it.

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.
