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

Hope you guys enjoy!

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!

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      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.
