Hey my name is Jacqui And I am 17 from Idaho. I am have had Celiacs for about a year now but iamnew to the site. I got contaminated a few days ago. My stomach feels like crap. What do I do. Is there any home remedies or do i just wait it out?

I cant believe that this site has a place for teens. It is nice to knowthat i ma not alone. Some times at my school it sucks because I can nver eat from the Cafeteria, I always have to brig my lunch and my friends dont understand. I mean they saythey do but they have no clue. If I get teased about how I am inconvient to them about eating at their favorite resturant The Olive Garden one more tiem I swear I am going ot scream. I mean i know that they are justjoing but like I dont have it hard enough. Dont they think that i want to eat their to. Wel actually honestly i dont really miss it but whatever. I found out that non f there food is fresh and that everything is packaged. Who wants to eat theat anyway. Sorry about the rant , i guess that it is just nice to let i out to people that actually understand. So please write ot me that would be so cool to here from people like me. Talk to you later.

From Jacqui.

I know what you mean. i have to bring my own lunches everyday too. my friends say they understand and they acknowledge it but they are still constantly asking me if i want some of their cookies, or pizza, or crackers and all that stuff and i feel like yelling at them to quit offering me. when ever my stomach feels upset i always either sip cold soda, or hot gluten-free soup. It settles my stomach. so yah if you want to talk any time feel free

First off, that really sucks that you got contaminated :(

When I get contaminated I try to eat alot of the stuff I'm allowed(rice, potatoes, fruit) and drink a TON of water. I sometimes feel sicker when I do that but it seems to pass faster...only a couple days. I've only tried this once but it seems to have worked. good luck :)

I seem to be getting contaminated a lot more (as most of you read in my rants about the college I go to). When I get contaminated I try to eat light foods, because whenever I'm in pain, the more I eat (of gluten-free) the more pain I'm in and the longer the side effects last (Although, sometimes, I end up not eating at all for a day or 2 because its too severe). I drink a lot of tea or coffee or milk (i'm not a fan of water lol), because contamination for me = diarrhea, so I keep myself hydrated. Hope this helps.

I am so happy that this site is for teens, but I am a mom of a freshman at college and she is awaiting her results and would just die to know I am asking other teens or young adults this question regarding college stuents. I know you can advise the college and they can help you with the inschool food service program. My daughter is quite convinced as so am I that she is gluten intollerant. How do you handle the late night snacks the drinking, the i want pizza and the late night wawa food runs for college students. I would like to say that this all doesn't happen, but I would be very unrealistic in believing that these things don't happen the first year of college. I can send up some snacks, but those minifridges/micowave don't leave much room. Eating is always a problem the first and second year of college, never mind be diagnosed with celiac disease. Anyone have any advise for first year college stuents who love pizza and junk food and don't want to stand out from the other kids?

I can understand how terrible getting contaminated can be. Don't lose hope - you will learn as you go forward and things get easier. You can always come to this site when you have questions or frustrations. Good luck, and know that you are not alone!

      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.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting! The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Welcome to the forum, @Kara S! Warrior bread is a grain free bread product. Google it. There are commercial mixes available, I believe, Youtube videos and many recipes.

      @Colleen H, I have had similar reactions and symptoms like yours. I started following the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne. Her book, The Paleo Approach, is very helpful in understanding what's going on in the body. Not only do you have antibodies attacking the body...

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies.  IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells.   Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy.  Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine?  Were you given a Marsh score? Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.

      @Colleen H, I have had similar reactions and symptoms like yours.  I started following the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, is very helpful in understanding what's going on in the body.   Not only do you have antibodies attacking the body, there are mast cells spreading histamine which causes inflammation.  Foods also contain histamine or act as histamine releasers.  Our bodies have difficulty clearing histamine if there's too much.  Following the low histamine AIP diet allows your body time to clear the excess histamine we're making as part of the autoimmune response, without adding in extra histamine from foods.  High histamine foods include eggs, processed foods and some citrus fruits.  The AIP diet allows meat and vegetables.  No processed meats like sausage, luncheon meats, ham, chicken nuggets, etc. No night shades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant).  No dairy.  No grains.  No rice.  No eggs.  No gluten-free processed foods like gluten free breads and cookies.  No nuts.  No expensive processed gluten-free foods.  Meat and vegetables.  Some fruit. Some fruit, like applesauce, contains high levels of fructose which can cause digestive upsets.  Fructose gets fermented by yeasts in the gastrointestinal tract.  This fermentation can cause gas, bloating and abdominal pain.   The AIP diet changes your microbiome.  Change what you eat and that changes which bacteria live in your gut.  By cutting out carbohydrates from grains and starchy veggies like potatoes, SIBO bacteria get starved out.  Fermenting yeasts get starved out, too.  Healthy bacteria repopulate the gut.   Thiamine Vitamin B 1 helps regulate gut bacteria.  Low thiamine can lead to SIBO and yeast infestation.  Mast cells release histamine more easily when they are low in Thiamine.  Anxiety, depression, and irritability are early symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  A form of thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Thiamine works with the seven other B vitamins.  They all need each other to function properly.   Other vitamins and minerals are needed, too.  Vitamin D helps calm and regulate the immune system. Thiamine is needed to turn Vitamin D into an active form.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes.  Taking a B Complex and additional Benfotiamine is beneficial.  The B vitamins are water soluble, easily lost if we're not absorbing nutrients properly as with Celiac Disease.  Since blood tests for B vitamins are notoriously inaccurate, taking a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and magnesium Threonate, and looking for health improvements is a better way to see if you're insufficient.   I do hope you will give the low histamine AIP diet a try.  It really works.
