For those who have irritating or downright hostile coworkers/ church members/ etc – just look them straight in the eye and say “steatorrhea” – when you start to define it, and they start to look ill, just laugh and walk away. If anyone DARES to hide wheat/oats/ barley and feeds it to you purposely, I’d bring them a Tupperware container with the results!

ROFLMAO!!!!! I love your attitude!

I have not been officially "diagnosed" as my blood test came out negative and the biopsy was negative (besides, it's just too rare to be likely, according to my dr.) but I have put myself on a gluten-free trial. Arthritis was the LAST STRAW FOR ME!

Welcome to the board. I look forward to feeding off your hard-earned experience!

Banana Daquiri --- I'll take that medicine :D

I think it's worth taking as a preventative measure. :D

RKB_MD,

I have not had time to read everything in this thread, I just wanted to extend a warm welcom to you !

From a personal standpoint (no doctor stuff here), I have found that when I have glutened, either intentially or unintentially, especially over a period of time - say a week on vacation with eating out every meal - when I am in the recovery period, I sometimes get reactions to foods I had not reacted to before. For example, about 6 years ago I thought I had developed a lactose intollerance, but I can associate it to a time when I was also consuming gluten. After several months of lactaid, and gluten free, I was then able to consume all dairy with the exception of a glass of milk - that still does me in. Weird as I can add real cream or 1/2&1/2 to coffee without issue.

I am aware that there is (was) a suggestion about a genetic link to lactose intollerance and sprue.

Hi and welcome :) I am wondering if perhaps you have a little problem with casein? The cream and the half and half would have more of the fat and less of the proteins. I can have clarified butter with no problems, but the casein is as bad a problem for me as gluten. I hope you feel better soon.

btw-love the idea of banana daquiri treatment--bananas to bind the D and the alcohol to numb the pain. Maybe a Jimmy Buffet song in there somewhere, lol. Take care.

Welcome, Dr. Russ! I haven't been able to read all of this post, but I noticed several suggestions of things to ease glutening symptoms. Dr. Joseph Mercola talks a great deal about probiotics, and how a large dose of them works unbelievably well and quickly to fend off traveller's diarrhea. This may be something to try...I believe he suggested ten caplets initially, and another five an hour later, and that will take care of it. May help with us...

An MD with an open mind!!!! Wow! Hen's teeth!There are 4 MD's in my family and I've been to a lot of medical community events and all ,but have met maybe a handful of open minded MD's. You're special!

I'm new to this forum but have been gluten-free for quite some time. Self DX. (I was right.Gluten hurts!) I'm somewhat "into" home remedies. Bananas help. I don't drink often so no help there. I avoid too much rich food (restaurants usually are) and fast food(no offence anyone) isn't worth the money you spend on icky tasting food.Except IN and OUT.In California I never got sick there unless I overdid the fries.There isn't an IN and OUT in Texas so no fast food.

My best remedy is old fashioned and should be tried in very small amounts first! Catnip tea. I'm not a feline so, no, I don't get high. My cat will tho. I put several leaves of Catmint in water,boil it,add tea and a LOT of sugar because catnip tastes hideous. In summer I pour the whole cup over a PLASTIC cup of ice for a more refreshing,cool beverage in our H*llish Texas heat in the summer.

Don't mind my spelling I'm too lazy for spell check and I'm very dyslexic. Sorry.

Cautions about Catnip/ catnip teas. Catnip is kind of like Chamomeal. It's a naturally occuring "weed" from Europe that has seditive properties. It is not hallucinogenic(no DHT or alkaloid compounds),it IS a seditive for a lot of people so don't drive,use heavy machinery or make big decisions if you feel sleepy from it!Catnip/mint isn't regulated by any government agency. You'll have to try it on your own. I have never heard of a negative reaction but I'm never looked for them or done a comprehensive study or anything. I'm just a stay-at-home-mom.

It's in the mint family. If you don't tolerate real mint,don't bother trying it.

Easy to grow in full sun. In the right areas(moist,cool,loamy acid soil where you can grow Camellias,Azaleas etc... )it will turn into it's own version of Kudzu and choke out everything else! No joke! Choke out the grass and everything. Henbit is also in the mint family and it will take over the lawn. I grow mine in a container.

Let's say you live in a hot climate with alkaline soil and want to grow it. It will take over anywhere you water on any kind of regular basis. It will even grow in a pond.

So....if you'd like to grow Catnip/mint container it. If you have great soil container it over cement.PJ

Welcome Dr. Russ. I read more than I post because I feel like I have a lot to learn after nearly a year gluten-free.

Thanks for joining us and I look forward to your insights and posts. I hope you feel better soon from your glutening.

Hey PJ, I have catmint in my garden. Think it's related to catnip but not exactly the same. (Cats still love to roll in it.) Do you think it would be safe to try a tea of it?

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
