This is a wonderful article I found today while searching for culprits into why I'm still having digestive problems... after being gluten free for over a year. I was actually a lot better for a few months. Then, WHAM, i have a bunch of new intolerances (I'm discovering).

This is written by a Vet, but it is written with People (and animals) in mind. The author is a celiac himself. I'm going to post this on a few boards so people will see it. Maybe it's even on this site somewhere already. It is also really long, but well worth the reading time. Plus he's not at all boring. Us Celiacs will be nodding in approval the whole time.

humm... the link thing isn't working... so type in the above address minus the "Lame Advertisement" part, and instead put --t-r-i-p-o-d-.-c-o-m- there. Sorry but it won't let me write it all together--- for some reason it keeps putting "lame advertisement".

Link to a much longer, but very good article as well--- more indepth I'll say

Tangerine -- Thank you for posting that article it looks interesting.

If you haven't read DANGEROUS GRAINS it's a must read you will understand why you are developing secondary food issues. It will happen to all of us as time passes, doctors are now finding this to be true.

It happened to me to, gluten free & dairy free about 5-years and WHAM BAM I got sicker with major thyroid problems. Mine (food allergies) have developed into seizure. Many of us celiacs have problems with SOY, CORN, LEGUMES, and NIGHT SHADE VEGGIES (some people are in denial). I avoided them but ate the safe foods all the time. The book DANGEROUSE GAINS and another was the PALEO DIET they recommed to rotate your food so you do NOT get allergies to it. As they suggested -- I found the ROTATION DIET is very helpful from stopping these other food issues from getting worse.

I've been doing the paleo diet for about a week now. It's tough, in that we're used to having things to absorb sauces and the like (rice, bread, potato, pasta, etc.) and now I have none of that.

But, an early report would be: I feel better. I'll update in a month or so (if I'm able to stay happy on nuts/berries/salmon - which I probably will be able to) to say how it's going.

The whole stuff on the lectins and the glutamate/aspartate was really interesting, especially the implications of the blood/brain barrier stuff - the MS and the autism and the parkinsons and the like. I have an MS friend who I'm going to ask to read this article.

Anyway, thanks!

p.s. I already had my dog on grain free - I never thought to try it myself.

Hey all!

I think I'm going to get the ELIZA test done to see what eles I'm allergic too. I get terriable heartburn, insomnia, tired all the time. It sucks! I know for sure I'm reacting to corn, but I think I have others too.

I never even thought to rotate my diet. I'm the worst at eating the SAME foods everyday. I'm not doing that anymore for sure!!! I have been living off a diet of rice and corn based foods, beans, cheese, soy milk and yogurt, dates, rasins, apples, bananas, carrots, and tomatoes for the past year (ever since my celiac diagnosis). I did eat other things now and then... but really I guess I've been naughty in the most innocent way. I had no idea! I have also learned that most of those foods contribute to my newly diagnosed endometriosis!!! Arghhh.

I changed my diet right after I read this article. No way in hell am I going to go back.

I even ended up writing to DogtorJ gushing how happy I was that I found the site.

I gave the article to my epileptic ex boyfriend. He was so excited he ended up writing him and e-mail too! He is hoping he might be able to help him with his research.

I so glad you guys found the article and site as helpful as I did. :) :) :)

I realized this a.m. that since quitting grains/beans, I have not woken up with a stomach ache (which I did every day for many years).

My only problem is that when I'm having a BM, I feel AWFUL. I feel like I'm seized by a horrible cold clammy cramp that is practically tying me in knots. The stuff itself is fine - easily expelld, not too scary. The minute all the business gets done, I feel great again. Weird.

Tangerine -- Yes, it took me a couple hours to read, but well worth the time. Once you get past his old web site and click on the new links the site becomes more user friendly. And you are right - AMAZING! More people should read it. I'm also interested in the aspect with dogs & cats getting celiac disease. It all goes back to grains like wheat, soy and corn were not ment to eat by humans, or animals. Period.

Reading the article made me think back to grade school. I was punished for speaking up and stating my mind. One time was when the teacher was telling us story about how the Pilgrims traded seeds (that were edible) with the Indians. I said to the teacher, "If they were edible then, why would we eat them now?" I questioned authority and was told to sit down and shut up. And, I did. Not anymore! But I always wondered why... Why? Why we stole the land from the Indians? And got away with it, or did we? And why we ate edible seeds? As I have learn (too much) about life and about celiac disease I know now why...

The article goes into many of the issues in the book DANGEROUS GRAINS. And, for me, it helped me make up my mind about animals and their food consumed too.

Thanx again Tangerine!

I use cauliflower or broccoli. Not really absorbent per se, but they're a nice base for adding sauces to. In Thai restaurants I order a side of steamed broccoli to put my Panang curry on. Yum!

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
