choose a fruit with a lower GI, as your body might be unable to digest high GI fruits right now.

desided to switch the chips in my diet for something else, figured hmm grapes are good and good for you well i guess iwas wrong.. i cant eat grapes everytime i do my stomic goes into major pain

A lot of anything isn't usually good!

When I ws a kid I used to love fresh peas from the pods (well I still do) and my mom would buy a pound at market and an hour later my stomach would be ... well you get the picture !

Fruits are good but they also pass through you.... I was eating loads at one point in a not too disimilar situation to you and it took someone else to point out ... of course you have D and stuff.. anyone would eating that amount of fruit ....

Worrying about stuff is a surefire way to loose lots of weight and also give you D and stomach probs.

Celiac is a real problem because the symptoms are very similar to lots of serious stuff... before I was diagnosed I had lost an unhealthy amount of weight .(and I was starting off on the lower side of obese).. was convinced I had stomach cancer or something.... ... worry more, loose more weight, more pain....

Hi Lister--

Don't be nervous--use your nervous energy to make a list of all your concerns--that way, you will remember to ask the doctor about all the things that have been bothering you.

Good luck with your appt--let us know how you did :)

i have the prilosec, but im not taking it until i go to the doctor anyways, it says on the package dont take if you have unexplained weight loss, and thats the whole reason the dx wants a apointment with me on monday so i figure i should wait until he figures out the weight loss

as for breathing exerisis yes i know some but they hurt me to do, whenever i exhale deep it drives my stomic crazy

I'm sure your dr already answered this, but they put warnings like that on OTC meds so that so that people don't self-diagnose when they have something life threatening going on. Your dr. told you to take it, so you can disregard the bit about weight loss. Also, prilosec is used for gastritis as well as reflux and heartburn. The burning stomach you describe sounds a lot like gastritis, and it really does help.

well im back

good news:

text book blood presure

my weight is perfect for my hieght but it will become a consern if i continue to loose 10 pounds a month

bad news:

im not celiac, im not gluten intolerant-

he says that he is almost positive i have a minor form of ulceritive colitis (yah maybe i will get colon cancer when im older just like the rest of my family :( )

he says that ulceritive colitis can be uproared by sertain foods and that wheat/milk seem to definatly be 2 of them and to still avoid them as i have been, but also other foods will upset it as well

i have to make a apointment with a gastrointolagist to get some form of scope done (not a colonoscopy its a smaller form were they dont go in as far) and they will take biopsis to see if i do have colitis or not, if i do then boom yay a diagnosis even though i would not be that happy with that one since it leads to colon cancer and that is one of my bigist fears.. he is putting me on predisone for 2 weeks anyone know if this is gluten-free before i start taking it. he wants to see if it helps and if it does then he will be basicaly positive its colitis anyways i gtg ready for a camping trip

Sounds as though you're getting closer to getting some answers, Lister, that's wonderful! I can understand your worry about your family history, but I'll bet your relatives weren't as aware as you are of how to stay healthy. If you know what's going on & take care of yourself, you'll be in much better shape.

So glad your getting closer to some answers. The prednisone should help a lot. The best way to check if it is gluten-free is to call the pharmacist and have them check. If the doctor gave you samples they will still check for you just give them the manufacturor off the label. I am glad to hear you are going to continue avoiding gluten. Hope you feel better soon.

Lister Rising Star

yeah its gluten-free i asked her yay. but im slightly confused the dx told me it was a 2 week pill course, but on the pill bottle it says its a 18 day course, also the dx put 36 pills on the form but thats not as many as its said is needed for 18 days, so if he wanted me to take it for 14 days why did he subscribe enough for 23 days? should i call him tomorrow or just follow the pill bottle

wow the more i read about these pills, the less i want to take them, they can kill you if you quit them to fast wtf

Please relax, and take the prescription as directed. They will bring down the inflammation in your intestines and hopefully make you feel much better.

Years ago, before I (or any of my doctors, evidently) knew about Celiac, I took steroids--pills and injections--and they really did make me feel better.

Your face may get puffy/more round looking--don't panic! That will go away after you stop taking the drug.

Just take it as directed--taper off--and you'll be fine.

Lister please take these without fear, they really will help. Take them exactly as prescribed, many times the dose is tapered starting out with more of the med at first. They will help with the inflammation and the side effects are only a problem with long term use, which is not what you are looking at. There are times when you see effects like a facial rounding as another poster pointed out but this would only be seen if you were taking them for an extended period of time. Predinose was a 'miracle' drug for me even before diagnosis with celiac and was for years the only drug that would halt my skin problems and even the 2 week course would give me relief for up to 3 months. They will help a lot and you need to jsut bite the bullet and start the course.

jerseyangel Proficient

I only put the reminder about the face rounding out there because it would happen to me even with a short course of the pills.

I know Lister gets worried about things easily, so I thought I'd let him know that this is nothing to be alarmed about. :)

Lister Rising Star

so i just got back from camping so now its time to start the meds, one consern i have about them though, is that it says it weakens your immune system.... ummm i really dont like the sound of these pills

Lister Rising Star

i really do not think i should take those meds.. they sound awful, and what if i dont even have anything they treat then that would be even worse for me then not taking them right? the pills scare me i dont wanna weaken my immunse system...

side note ( went camping at the most masquito infested place ever) withen the first 2 days everyone had over 8 bites besides me i made it out with not even one bite :) )

queenofhearts Explorer

Lister, right now your immune system is attacking you, so weakening it a little might be a GOOD thing... & if you are able to eat a healthy diet that will definitely make you less susceptible to illness. I'm a little meds-averse as you seem to be, but in this case, I think you stand to gain much more than you might lose. Please give them a try.

side note ( went camping at the most masquito infested place ever) withen the first 2 days everyone had over 8 bites besides me i made it out with not even one bite :) )

I've noticed too that I get far fewer bites since going gluten-free. I used to be a total mosquito magnet, now I'm just average or even less. I noticed this right away after going gluten-free-- never in my life had other people in a group been bitten before me until I changed my diet.

jerseyangel Proficient

Lister,

I can't believe you haven't started your meds yet!

A lot of us care about you on here--we wouldn't tell you that these are a good idea for you unless we really meant it.

I've personally taken those pills--they provide a lot of relief when taken exactly as directed. It's just one course--the serious conplications come into play over the long term--not the week or two that you are talking about.

Start them--you wanted your doctor's opinion, and this is what he told you to take--it's a reasonable thing. Just enough to calm your system a bit by taking down some of the inflammation.

ravenwoodglass Mentor

I second what Patti said big time. They are going to reduce the inflamtion in your system and will help you more than you could know. They are not a disease specific drug they help with many conditions where inflamation is present. If your doctor had prescribed these for a long term like 6 months or so there might be cause for concern but you were prescribed a short course. They will help you need to take these. Sorry if I seem to be nagging about this but it is only cause we care about you. PLEASE TAKE THE #*#* PILLS.

Lister Rising Star

alright i will start them tomorow..

i have one consern unrealted to the pills, i went to the bathroom today and again i had mucus " this is happening less often as it used to but still sometimes" now this mucus like substance that came with the normal stuff was floating at the top of the water and had obveiuse red blood in it, is this a worry? or nothing? it was small but i meen red makes me worry

From what I understand, the red is actually less worrisome, usually the result of hemmorhoids or fissures rather than something deep in the colon. This is probably irritation near the surface.

I am so glad you are going to start your meds!

Red isn't bad.... if its red the haemoglobin is fresh... which means its pretty close to the exit sign...

If you have lots of D its not abnormal...

The mucous is undigested fat....you need to reduce that inflamation....

If a Dr. prescribed water it would have warings that exceeding the recommended dose could kill you.

Don't work yourself up over it.... check the fact sheet on ibuprofen or tylenol...its full of what might happen if you take them everyday in excess. its good to read them but take it with a grain of salt....

Haven't taken those myself but if the people who have told me then I'd take them not question...

And I'm someone who has refused all antibiotics for probably 10 yrs!!! (I honestly don't remember when its so long ago)

i have c not d is the red still normal? its not alot of blood just blotchs in the snot stuff.. the only reason i did not start my meds yet is because i did not want to start them while camping and either a. have a bad reaction to the meds and 2. it says it makes you really hungry and thirsty and i had minimal food to pack for the trip, anyways i start them tomorrow, i hope they dont work though, because if they dont then it meens i dont have colitis

im really scared.. i almost do not want to know what is wrong i meen gah i wish there was something less seriuse i could look forward to maybe getting diagnosed with but so far the only posibiltys i see is

chrons, ulceritive colitis, cancer

..... none of those are good things in any way, i was reading about ulceritive colitis and how about 50% of people eventually have to have there colon removed and about 32% eventually get colon cancer.......... ahhhhhhhhh

well i had 2 stress free days but now im back into stress gear...... i wish my apointment was sooner i want answers and i want this all fixed before it gets worse or whatever ....... i want to cry, why is it taking so long to figure this all out its been like 5 months now so whatevr it is, is just getting worse (even though i will say my side is way way way way way less sensative then it was 5 months ago, originaly the doctor could barely push his hand on my side now he can pound on it before it starts to hurt me

I am glad you are starting them tommorrow but would have felt better if you said today, why wait. If they work that does NOT mean you have colitis or chrons it just means you have inflamation that it helped to get rid of. They will also help to 'jump start' the healing process for your celiac. When I took them before I was diagnosed with celiac they helped even though I was getting up every day with D, having D at times throughout the day and being woken up every night by more cramps and D (That was my life for at least 5 years). This was while I was still injesting gluten. The relief I got for a lot of symptoms including my moods and joint pain made me love taking them. They will help you feel better. Wishing you a good nights sleep and I hope you have started your prednizone by the time you read this. ((((((((hugs)))))))

Lister Rising Star

its prednisone that im taking is that the same? im just confused as to how to take them, the bottle says for 18 days and tells you how many to take each day, but the doctor said i was taken it for 2 weeks not for more then 2 weeks?? what do i do?

      How high is too high?  I take 10,000 IU vitamin D3 every day.  My blood is stable at 80 ng/ml (200 nmol/L).  Even at 10,000 a day it took 8 years to raise it to 80.  Higher levels of 25(OH)D in blood can moderate the autoimmune attack.  Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought Lower vitamin D levels have also been associated with increased OCD symptom severity.  This is a most dangerous popular belief. As mentioned you are suffering from vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Part of the recovery, that is never explained by doctors, is replenishing your deficits.  Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption.  The Western diet is a diet of deficiency.  That is why many processed foods are fortified.  Gluten free foods are exempt.   "I’ve been completely asymptomatic since diagnosis."  There are 200 symptoms that can be caused by Celiac Disease and the malabsorbtion it can cause.     • "Floating, undigested stools for over a year now. Dont think its related to celiac as it was like this since im 17 and not 13-16( i got diagnosed at 13). " Many are misdiagnosed as gall bladder disease.  Choline is needed to create the bile salts needed to digest fat.  90% of our population is deficient.  Eggs and beef are the best source.  The RDA (minimum daily allowance is 500 mg to 3500 mg daily.  One egg has 27% DV.  Broccoli, chopped, boiled, drained, ½ cup only has 7%.  Low choline can cause Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.   Choline and Risk of Neural Tube Defects in a Folate-fortified Population; Could we be overlooking a potential choline crisis in the United Kingdom?;   Choline was formerly called vitamin B4.  I prefer phoshphatidyl choline for supplementation as it is the form we get in food.   • Chronic back pain started gradually, worsens with movement, lots of cracking/popping sounds.  Vitamin D deficiency may be linked to chronic back pain, But I took levothyroxine for slightly low FT4 levels.  I supplement Iodine by taking Liquid Iodine.  50 mcg per drop.  The RDA is 150 mcg to 1000 mcg in the US.  In Japan it is 150 mcg to 3000 mcg.  I take 600 mcg a day. Since 1970 the intake of iodine has decreased in the US by 50%.  Hypothyroidism has increased 50%.  Insufficient iodine leads to the thyroid gland working harder to produce these hormones, and if it cannot keep up, hypothyroidism can develop, according to the Mayo Clinic.   Iodine Insufficiency in America: The Neglected Pandemic.   I see improvement in muscle tone, healing, brain fog since taking the Liquid Iodine.  I could not eat enough seaweed.

      I completely understand the frustration of finding reliable gluten-free ingredients—it's exhausting when trusted products disappear or companies don't respond to safety inquiries. For teff flour in bulk, check out Azure Standard or Bulk Foods; both often carry gluten-free grains in larger quantities and clearly label dedicated facilities. For soy flour, Anthony's Goods tests for gluten and offers bulk options, though always verify their current certifications. For beans, peas, and lentils, Palouse Brand is a great choice—they're GFCO-certified and transparent about their farming practices. As for lentil elbow macaroni, Explore Cuisine offers similar pastas, though cross-contact policies vary. When companies don't respond, I lean on third-party certifications (GFCO, NSF) or stick with brands like Jovial or Edward & Sons that prioritize allergen safety. It's a constant hunt, but hopefully these leads help! Have you tried local co-ops or ethnic markets for teff? Sometimes they stock bulk African or Indian brands with clear labeling.

      Beans in desserts are a fantastic way to add moisture, structure, and protein while keeping recipes gluten-free. Black bean brownies are a classic, but other beans like adzuki and pinto can also work well—adzuki beans are naturally sweet and often used in Asian desserts, making them great for cookies or cakes. Lentils, especially red lentils, blend smoothly into batters and can replace flour in recipes like blondies or muffins. Since you’re allergic to chickpeas, you might try navy beans or cannellini beans for a milder flavor in vanilla-based desserts. For less crumbliness, blending cooked beans into a paste helps bind the dough, and adding a bit of xanthan gum (if tolerated) can improve texture. If you’re experimenting, start with recipes that replace half the flour with bean purée before going fully flourless. Have you tried using aquafaba (bean liquid) as an egg substitute? It works wonders in gluten-free baking too!

      This may make you feel better about cross-contamination: https://nationalceliac.org/celiac-disease-questions/do-i-need-new-designated-pans-plates-and-utensils/ https://theceliacscene.com/rethinking-cross-contamination-no-need-to-be-so-careful/ I use Tom's of Maine or a toothpaste that states it's gluten free.  I have allergic reactions to some toothpastes so some of the toothpastes in health food stores are usually safer for me. They're typically gluten free as well. Spices can contain cross-contamination from gluten.  There are a few lists online of spices that are safe for celiacs.  I also grow my own herbs and use them in place of store bought when I can.  I think Badia lists their spices as gluten free and Spice Lab has some gluten free too. Knitty Kitty has a great point about nutritional deficiencies and B vitamins.  I got a lot of aches and pains when I got off gluten.  I tried to replace wheat with other healthy grains like teff, buckwheat and sorghum.  Limiting one's diet too much and not getting enough vitamins, can make someone feel worse.  A lot of the gluten free foods in the stores are made with lower quality ingredients than the wheat varieties.  I try to replace all my foods with homemade options.  Then I know the quality of the ingredients and which vitamins I may be high or low in.  Probiotics or prebiotics can help with bathroom issues.  Better to get them in foods if possible and not pill form.  My doctors keep recommending magnesium too.  It's not supposed to be taken alone, but they don't seem to care about that.  It's easy for vitamin D to be low too.  That was another thing doctors told me to take.  Unfortunately, they didn't monitor it and it went too high.  Again, better from natural sources like food and sunlight.  However, supplementing can help if you're not getting enough.  Some sources say to take D with K2.  You may want to have iodine levels checked.  If you add iodine, make sure to get sufficient selenium for thyroid.  You can get iodine naturally in most seaweed.  Nori may also be one of the few non-animal sources for B12.  Brazil nuts are a good source of selenium and you only need a few a day to meet RDA.  Some brands of nuts specifically say gluten free.  Unfortunately, there are issues with Brazil nut production and they're much harder to find this year. The more you can vary your diet the better.  One study said aim for at least 30 different foods in a week.  You might want to try kiwi fruit.  There were some studies that said eating kiwi improved mood.  It also has a covering which most people don't eat, so that should protect what's inside from contamination. I've limited my diet quite a bit over the years because of migraines, so I know how uncomfortable it can be finding safe foods.  However, I'm afraid limiting diets like that may actually be causing more harm than good.  It's something I'm trying to work on.  I keep trying to expand the number of foods I eat and my recipe repertoire.  I made a list of brands of foods that I've found that are gluten free so I have a guide when I'm shopping.

      Hello, @Dora77, I agree with you that your doctors aren't very knowledgeable about Celiac Disease.  My doctors didn't recognize nutritional deficiencies either.  I became very deficient in vitamins before I was diagnosed, so having experienced similar, I understand what a difficult time you're having.   Poor absorption of essential nutrients is caused by the damage done to the intestines by Celiac Disease.  The gluten free diet can be low in essential nutrients, so supplementing to boost your absorption is beneficial.  New symptoms can develop or worsen as one becomes more and more deficient.   There's eight essential B vitamins that our bodies cannot make, so they must come from our food and supplements.  These eight B vitamins work together, like instruments in an orchestra.  They need to be supplemented together with essential minerals like magnesium.   Deficiencies in the B vitamins can have overlapping symptoms.  Some symptoms can be traced to specific B vitamins.  OCD can be traced to low Pyridoxine Vitamin B 6.  Yes, I had OCD and washed my hands until my skin cracked and bled.  ADHD symptoms can be traced to low Thiamine Vitamin B 1.  ADHD is something one is born with.  People who are born with ADHD have a metabolic problem with getting sufficient thiamine into their brain cells.  People who develop symptoms of ADHD later in life are more likely to be low in Thiamine.  The same symptoms appear if one is not getting sufficient thiamine from the diet.  Yes, I developed symptoms of ADHD.  These symptoms improved and disappeared after supplementing with Thiamine and the other essential nutrients. I was diagnosed with Type Two Diabetes.  99% of diabetics of both types are deficient in Thiamine because our kidneys don't re-absorb thiamine properly.  Thiamine is needed to make insulin and digestive enzymes in the pancreas.  Poor digestion (floating, undigested stools) can result with insufficient pancreatic enzymes.  The gall bladder (upper right quadrant) needs thiamine to make and release bile which also helps with digestion.  Constipation is also a symptom of Thiamine and magnesium deficiencies.  The thyroid is another organ that uses lots of Thiamine, too.  Low thyroid hormones can be due to insufficient thiamine, selenium, iron, and iodine.  Swelling of hands, face and feet are also symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.   Our bodies use thiamine to make energy so organs and tissues can function.  Thiamine cannot be stored longer than three weeks.  If our stores are not replenished every day, we can run out of Thiamine quickly.  If we do get some thiamine from our diet, symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously, because a twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent improvement in brain function and symptoms.  Thiamine interacts with all the other vitamins in some way.  Many other vitamins and their metabolic processes won't work without thiamine.  In Celiac Disease you are apt to be low in all the essential nutrients, not just thiamine, but thiamine deficiency symptoms may appear first. Talk to your dietician about eating a nutritionally dense gluten free diet.  Keep in mind that processed gluten free foods do not contain sufficient vitamins to be useful.  Processed gluten free foods are filled with saturated fats and excess fiber (that could explain your constipation).  Dairy products, milk and cheese can cause problems because Casein, the protein in dairy, causes the same autoimmune reaction that gluten does in some.  Your current restricted diet is dangerous to your health.  I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne).  It's a Paleo diet that promotes intestinal healing.   Discuss with your doctors about correcting nutritional deficiencies as soon as possible.   Interesting reading... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34165060/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21816221/#:~:text=Lipid-soluble thiamin precursors can,and attention deficit%2Fhyperactivity disorder.
