So yesterday was my last day at work and my staff suprised me and had a Gluten Free cake specially made for me! They called the Cake place that i get my kids b-day cakes made and asked if they could do a gluten-free cake, and they were very familiar with the whole process. Aparently they just delivered a gluten-free wedding cake that morning. Anyway the cake was delicious! Chocolate double layer with buttercream icing! YUM!! They saisd they have a company in PA that processes only gluten-free things and thats were the mix comes from and they prepare them in a special area so not to have cross contamination, then they specially prepare their own gluten-free buttercreme icing. That was such a treat! Its nice to know there is a bakery close that can do that for me!

Also, I posted last week about having D issues for about a month, well i went to see this new Celiac doc in my area and he told me to start taking calcium 3 times a day and a 1 a day vitamin, which i have been doing and I also switched my facial moisurizer and low and behold no D for 3 1/2 days so far! So what do you think made that stop, the vitamins or new moisturizer? Thats a question i can't seem to answere. Funny thing is he sent me to have all the stool test done and when i went to the lab to pick up the stuff it turns out there are 11 vials of stool sample things I have to give, so now that my D has stopped to i still do them?

Wow! That's so awesome that they had a gluten free cake made for you. What sweet people.

Glad the D stopped... It sounds to me like it could have easily been your moisturizer. Was there any obvious gluten in it? Was there vitamin E (this can be wheat derived), avena sativa (oats), or HVP (can be wheat derived), in it? I guess it could have been the vitamins too, but I'm betting on the moisturizer having hidden gluten in it. Also, what moisturizer were you using?

As for the stool tests, what exactly were they testing for? It may be worth while to go through with the tests, especially if your insurance will cover them.

I was using Oil of Olay and I didn't see any obvious gluten ingredients but I am still learning some things.

As far as the stool testing they were testing for blood, parasites and malabsorbtion.

I always liked the Oil of Olay lotions before diagnosis so I called recently and the rep stated that only the one that is fragrance free and for sensitive skin was okay to use. If you were using any of the others that could have been the culprit.

I'm betting on the facial moisturizer, too. It is too easy to get something like that in your mouth.

I am so glad you have a bakery that makes gluten-free cakes so close to you! That certainly makes life a tad bit easier for you! :D

Not sure on whether it was fragrance free and such it was the "original"version though. I still can't believe that i may just have been that simple as to stop using that. I am loving feeling great again! And best news yet is that so far in my loosing weight quest I am down 48lbs. today!!! Unfortunatly probably 10 of those lbs were not from hard work just from the D.

      Could this be a new intolerance

      Unfortunately, the development of celiac disease usually is not an end in and of itself. It usually brings along friends, given time. It is at heart an immune system dysfunction which often embraces other immune system dysfunctions as time goes on.

      Thanks so much for the responses. I will urge him to go for further investigation. To be 48yrs old and develop a new allergy.. ugh, As if celiac disease isn’t enough!

      This does not seem to be an anaphylactic response but I agree it would be wise to seek allergy-food sensitivity testing. You might look into ALCAT food sensitivity testing.

      Could this be a new intolerance

      @Celiacpartner, I agree with Scott. We have a food festival yearly in the town I live in, with artisan food stalls everywhere. I spoke to the owner of one of the artisan burger stalls, enquiring if the burgers were gluten-free when I said I was Coeliac ... he said he had a serious anaphylactic allergy to fish himself. He possibly carries an epi-pen or...

      Could this be a new intolerance

      After years of stable management, developing new symptoms to historically safe foods like nuts and fish strongly suggests a secondary issue has developed. It is highly unlikely to be a new gluten issue if the foods themselves are certified gluten-free. The most probable explanations are a new, separate food intolerance (perhaps to a specific protein in certain...

      After years of stable management, developing new symptoms to historically safe foods like nuts and fish strongly suggests a secondary issue has developed. It is highly unlikely to be a new gluten issue if the foods themselves are certified gluten-free. The most probable explanations are a new, separate food intolerance (perhaps to a specific protein in certain nuts or fish) or a true IgE-mediated food allergy, which can develop at any age. The symptoms you describe—cramps and the urge to vomit—can be consistent with either. It is crucial he sees an allergist for proper testing (like a skin prick or blood test) to identify the specific culprit and rule out a serious allergy, as reactions can sometimes worsen with repeated exposure.
