Hi!

I am desparately trying to figure out what's caused some symptoms to come back that had been GONE for months! Lower Back pain, food in stool, GI stuff...) Do mushrooms cause trouble for anyone? Also, just finished a round of Zithromax for bronchial infection and I guess that could have screwed me up, but it seems like not this much. I am afraid I'm going right back to the beginning again and very depressed. Can't seem to find any source of a glutening. Thanks for any help.

As far as gluten in concerned I have never had a problem with them, I eat alot of them. But, I have got sick before because the mushrooms were bad, so it may be that. Hope you get to feeling better. The Z pack always effects me so I do not use them anymore.

I was just on antibiotics for an absessed tooth and they made me really really sick, just like gluten. I wasn't eating anything but fluids, my mouth was so messed up I couldn't chew so theres no way I got gluten, but it was just like it. Took a few days for me to stop feeling sick.

mushrooms are a fungal maybe thats what is upsetting you because they are interfering with your tummys natural balance if you get what i mean, its kind of like those probiotic drinks but mushrooms got bad fungal or so im told, i suffer badly with thrush and was told to stay away from them as they contain bad bacteria which helps bad things grow in your belly, its kind of the same thing with antibiotics ( there fungal right) how many times have we had thrush from a coarse of antbiotics. :blink::angry: it makes sense when you think about it. dont know ig there is any proper evidence to back it up tho.

Jennyj, Elonwy and Taz-

Thank you very much. I suspect the antis have me "off". Also have weird fuzzy feeling in back of my throat that seems to come and go these days- hate it. Maybe my whole system is out of whack. I'll just soldier on and hope it gets back at least to where I was. Thank you so much!

You may have the good bacteria killed off in your intestines from the antobiotics. May need to take some acidophilus caps for a few months to get the good ones back. anyone who has a mold allergy needs to stay away from mushrooms or any other type of mold. that cam bring on the 'thrush or other versions of candida'. "Been there, done that" I am so glad I have not had bronchitis yet this summer from mold or etc, inhalant allergies, seems like I have improved that way since being gluten free. That is so wonderful!! :rolleyes: Best of luck to you all too. :):D:) evie

Thank you, Evie- I used to test positive to mold allergy, but this spring was negative. Gosh, who knows? But that makes some sense in regard to the mushrooms. I am taking the probiotics as well. Thank you so much for your thoughts!

HI ocean girl

I know this is an old thread and I don't kno if you'll even get this message but I thought I would try. I'm new to this site. finding it very supportive to read all of everyones stories that are so like my own. I had a glutened type reaction to mushrooms and talked to my dr. He said that mushrooms have a protein in them that can be hard to digest. I used to eat them like crazy, but the purer I get the more i react to different things I used to be able to eat. The fungal thing is also an issue. Hoping to add them back in some day. Hope for you it was more the Antibiotics and your able to eat them again. Lin

Lin,

Thank you! I have just seen this post at last and I thank you very much! I hope I can add them back someday, too. Good luck to you!

Lavendeldame,

Hi! Wow, here's a blast from the past! Thank you for your information posted today. That is tres interesting. I wonder if the gliadin molecule actually gets near the growing mushroom. These are the kind of scientific questions that make me wish I had a head for organic chemistry! From what I currently understand, it is deep inside the wheat germ and that's the part protected within the seed? Don't quote me; I'm asking, actually, because I forget all of this stuff sometimes. Sad, I know, the daughter of a biologist and chemist-sigh.

Mushrooms are a fungus, and many people can't eat fungus foods. Long before I knew about gluten, I had problems with mushrooms. Not even 20 minutes, and I would get so sick from mushrooms.

I have not been able to tolerate mushrooms for years. I would wake up a few hours after eating them and lie awake in pain until they passed. I was told by someone that mushrooms (particularly the fancier ones, not the plain white supermarket ones) contain mild toxins. I always figured it was that and haven't dared to eat a mushroom since. I was diagnosed with celiac last winter and forgot to mention this to the GI. I have wondered if once my digestive tract was healed, I would be able to tolerate mushrooms. From most of the answers on this thread, it seems not...

Over 4 years in, I now tolerate mushrooms but not lots and lots- in moderation.

Mushrooms make me sick (not you, mushroom ;-)). I used to be able to eat them and then I realized that everytime I ate them I felt sick. I started eating these veggie burgers at a local restaurant and would get sick after eating them. Didn't realize they had mushrooms in them at the time. Once I figured that out it totally made sense why they made me sick. I stay away. If I end up eating something made with cream of mushroom soup, I'm usually ok, but anything else with mushrooms and I feel awful.

Just thought I'd add in that mushrooms are a problematic food for people with FODMAP problems, as they contain mannitol, which is a sugal alcohol like sorbitol. It's a type of poorly digested complex sugar. It could easily cause classic GI problems like bloating. I was always fine with a small amount of them, but never like mushrooms enough to have a big serve.

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By trents · Posted

      First, I hope you know that celiac disease is not an allergy to gluten. It is an autoimmune disease reaction that is triggered by gluten consumption. Allergies don't trigger immunes responses whereby the body attacks it's own tissues but this is what is actually happening with celiac disease and what distinguishes celiac disease from NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Second, though I think your question other question has already been answered. Since the tTG-IGA antibody test is only 90 to 98% specific, elevated values for this test will be have non-celiac disease causes in 2 to 8 out of 100 cases. I realize that is addressing your question in a general way but the non-celiac causes have also be covered in this thread, though not to  the granularity of giving percentages to each non-celiac cause. Not sure why that is important to you at this point. First, you need to separate whether it is due to celiac disease or not. If not, then start sorting out what the other cause is. But as I stated above, by far the most likely cause is celiac disease so that is the place to start. Sure, we get it. Having  to eliminate gluten from your life spells huge culinary and social changes and challenges. But it's still better than facing cancer or host of other diseases that less definitive antidotes and outcomes. With celiac disease you don't even have to worry about taking medications because, as of now at least, there are none. The treatment is very straightforward. Avoid gluten.

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By Shining My Light · Posted

      @trents This info is so helpful and I’m absorbing it all. My blood tests were almost a month ago and I feel like it came out of left field. I never even heard of term “silent celiac.” I thought celiac gave you violent diarrhea when you consumed a tiny bit of gluten. That’s it. Not that it damages your small intestine, not that it made the absorption of vitamins and minerals compromised. None of it. To me it was just an allergy to gluten.  My close family and friends think I’m crazy for even giving it a second thought because “no symptoms, no worries.”  It’s unfortunately hard for me to let something go that I don’t know enough about. Therefore all the research came into play.  I’m glad I’ve joined this forum. It’s more helpful to talk things through with people than looking through cases studies without being able to ask questions. I’m on the fence right now on what my odds are. I don’t know enough about the other variables and probability of why a TTG level would be raised.  The questions I still have lingering are:  -what are the odds that these levels are raised in something other than celiac? For instance of all positive TTG tests that have been done how many of those are from celiac? I know it’s a big ask but to me that’s something that is super unclear to me.  - what are the TTG levels in something other than celiac? (I.e. in things like type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, hepatitis, viruses, NCGS, etc, are the TTG levels the same as those that have celiac, higher or lower?)  - even if it’s not celiac and it’s NCGS, if my body is “responding” to gluten, and creating antibodies to it, wouldn’t that be something to avoid anyway? Maybe not doing the damage but still my body doesn’t like it?  -could I really possibly follow a gluten free life as close as I follow Jesus?  Definitely understand now that key piece of needing an EGD. It’s looking at things from another angle. Also with all the other associated blood work, more angles.  I would like to say please forgive me if any of my questions seem as though I’m trying to be difficult. Making lifelong decisions is hard.  I do have decisions to make as you have said. I clearly will need convinced in order for this to be something to be committed to.  I would hope that there will be something in the future that comes out that will offset gluten in bodies the same was it does for sugar in diabetics.  My compassion is far greater for anyone carrying the burden of celiac than it was a month ago knowing what I know now.  I appreciate you helping me work this out, in real time. It’s been lonely up to this point. Only me talking about what I’ve read to people who don’t think I should be bothering with it any further. 😆 So thank you! 🙏

      Probably celiac but also confused

      Lot's of folks would trade places with you with regard to the unintentional weight loss. Seriously, though, I would be concerned about vitamin and mineral depletion due to malabsorption in the small bowel. One thing you can do now to address that which will not jeopardize the accuracy of further testing for celiac disease would be to start taking some high potency vitamin and mineral supplements. Make sure they are all gluten free if you will continue to use them - after diagnosis, that is. Wheat starch is sometimes used as a filler in pills. A multivitamin may not be potent enough. So, I would go for a B-complex, magnesium glycinate (the form of magnesium is important for good absorption and to prevent a laxative effect), zinc picolinate, and D3 (around 5000IU daily). These are supplements we routinely recommend on this forum to newly diagnosed celiacs and in view of your dramatic weight loss it would likely be appropriate for you as well. It often takes around 2 years for the villous lining of the small bowel to fully heal after going gluten free and until then, nutrient absorption will be compromised. The small bowel is the section of the intestines where all of our nutrition is taken up. Keep us posted.

      I'm 5'2" so it's weight I could afford to lose. I guess what's concerning is that it's not on purpose, I haven't been active because I don't have much energy, and it's been steadily going down since I started keeping track of it. So I'm not too worried about where I'm at right now, but it's something I'm keeping an eye on.

      A classic case of more than one medical problem going on at a time. We often forget that can happen. Are you concerned about your weight loss? Is your current weight too thin for your height, gender and general build?
