Hi, just wondering if anyone has ever heard of this. I have heard that they do this for people that do not respond to the gluten-free diet. I have bee on the diet for about 2 years now and I still do not feel good.

Thank you for you help

I am not sure. Someone had mentioned it to me and I could not find anything on the internet about it. So I figured I would post up and maybe someone else has heard of it.

It is somthing that is supposed to "heal" you, or maybe somthing that is supposed to help you better respond to the diet.

I have been on the diet and it is not working for me. I still feel HORRIBLE :(

I am really at a loss and my family is pushing me to find somthing else that will help me, because they hate seeing me like this.

I think you are thinking of TPN. I know of cases where they have done it but I think you really need to have a Dx of Refractory Sprue. I thin but I am not sure.

If it's been two years and you're not feeling better, I'd keep researching what else might be wrong. I know that I'm sensitive to gluten, the elimination diet proved I am, and every time I've been glutened has confirmed it. However, I was not getting better. For me it was Lyme Disease. If you're not getting better gluten-free, there may be more to it for you, too.

Yea, but i have had a run in with really bad doctors. No one has ever been able to help me. I really need to find a good doctor.

Thank you.

If you are not doing better by now, I would recommend having the full Celiac panel run again to see if your numbers are still high. If your numbers are still high, you might need to reassess how your diet is going. Often, members find that there were hidden sources of gluten. Very few (although, they are out there, and we have them on this board!!!) are ever dx'ed with refractory celiac. You would need a repeat biopsy after going over your diet...and then they usually would re-test your blood again.

If your numbers are within normal ranges, chances are, you have something else going on. Its a hard one....sometimes we want to blame it all on Celiac, and sometimes it is all related to Celiac. Sometimes its not Celiac related, and there is something else going on.

You may have other food allergies/intolerances, or something unrelated to food. What are your symptoms?

I agree there may be cross contamination somewhere as a possibility. Medications, shampoos, vitamins

Another is another intolerance, dairy? nightshades? soy? corn?

It is drastic but some recommend the specific carbohydrate diet. I tried it and felt better pretty quickly, but then got pregnant and was losing weight on it so have given it up for now. The theory is there are an overgrowth of "bad" bacteria living in the gut. You starve them by eating no grains or starches. If curious check out www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info Others have recommended the paleo diet, I don't know much about it but believe it is even more strict.

Sorry I haven't heard about anything IV.

Good luck,

Mia

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
