I ate all natural, beef.

Now I am gassy, burping, feeling that tickle in my thorat.

Coughing a little...

Anyone have trouble digesting beef?

I think that may be it.... :ph34r:

If you are newly diagnosed, everything might bother you.

However, just because you have celiac disease does not mean every ailment that might occur is due to celiac. You might just randomly have trouble digesting beef today.

I'm relatively newly self-diagnosed and I have problems digesting anything but fresh fruit and veggies, and limited amounts of soy. Just give it a little time, a few months at least, and if it doesn't start to clear up you might have a problem with beef.

What was on the beef? How was it cooked? Did you have *anything* else within four hours? Did you swallow much air with it? Lots of questions here. :)

Gotta echo those questions......

Were you formerly not eating beef?

If you have been vegetarian for a while then your body probably just needs to adjust slowly....

It might also be distateful but the less its cooked the easier it digests..... but perhaps if you haven't eaten it for a while then very small portions would be a start?

sometimes I get sick from the most random things where it's not possible to even be celiac related... it could simply be a mild food poisoning issue (when your immune system is already compromised you react more quickly to other things)

also, beef is hard to digest so if you haven't been eating it for a while, or ever, ease into it slowly... you don't need beef in your diet, in fact my sister lives off of ground turkey, baked chicken and fish... (no beef or pork)

My BIL & my BF's families each have a cattle farm & they've both warned me that it could depend on what the cow is feed, like pork...pigs are usually give slop (all the bits of leftover dinners) so I just avoid the pork & hope for the best with Beef. I love beef!

I still can't figure out what hay is...

Wow, that's ironic because last night i made home made burgers in the frying pan and about 1-2 hours later i felt like i could throw up a grease ball or something...i kept burping and got gassy when i went to bed. I will say i haven't been on a very fatty diet the past few months, and i usually grill the burgers instead of pan frying them (but it was raining around South Chicago burbs last night...and still is this morning), si it may just be the grease or fat content.

Well I buy only organic, natural meats.

Meaning all vegetarian feed, no antibiotics and no preservatives.

So thats ok.

I asked the GI and she said.....beef digests poorly and sometimes, bit do not digest at all so its really not good for a newly diagnosed person.

So I am sticking to any fresh turkey...chicken...and salmon.

Although I did try gluten free, wheat free, egg free, soy free, cas free chicken nuggets.

We'll see how those go.

Last christmas (before I was dx) I had a huge roast with my family. Immediatly after I felt sick - but what else is new. It deff. wasn't food poisening b/c no one else got sick, and because I get sick so easily all my meat is always cooked more than everyone elses. I spent the rest of christmas night and all the next day throwing that delish. meat up. And since then I don't eat red meat, and whenever I do I get just as sick. Only I don't always throw up, thank god.

Has anyone else notices that before you were dx if you told anyone the list of all the things you couldn't eat b/c you get so sick.. well.. the list is never ending. As is now, but at least we know why. Being dx is actually better- I can eat MORE than I could before!

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b, I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be. I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse. My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet. It makes a big difference. Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies. So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal. My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet. I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
