Crappy Day....

I had a horrendous day. Not really gastointestinal symptoms, but I just felt tired, depressed, lethargic and really out of it. I would have attributed this to Gluten, if I had eaten any in the last couple days, which I hadn't. Only thing I did that was unusual was I pounded down a bunch of cottage cheese yesterday evening. One helping wasn't enough, so I had several more.

Could that have been it? I'm not familiar with casein or lactose intolerance, so I don't know what the symptoms are. Ah well, tomorrow is a new day!!

Could be Jerry. Everyone reacts differently. A lady I work with was tested for celiac disease because she had the severe stomach issues that many celiac's have, yet she is lactose intolerant. So, that could be your problem. Do you have problems with milk, cheeses, etc. When I first went gluten-free, I lived on cottage cheese and fruits, so I didn't have a problem with dairy then. Now, after 5 yrs, I am beginning to wonder. I do love my ice cream, yet after eating it, I cough and cough. Maybe it's something in the ice cream, I do not know, but I never had this reaction. I learn by trial and error.

Cottage cheese is VERY high in casein and low in lactose...

Also Jerry, I should have added this in the first post. Sometimes, as you are detoxing your body, you will have bad days, it just happens. It took you a very long time to get where you are, it does take a while to feel better. You think you feel good now, because you were so sick, yet it will only get better from here. :)

Jerry, FWIW, I get the "mood" symptoms from gluten just like you, and I also react the same way to casein.

You could test it by cutting out all dairy for a couple days and then having some, repeat a few times if necessary so you know it's not a coincidence.

Thanks for your responses. I did feel better on Sunday. I'm sending off my cheek swap specimens today to Enterolab. My doctor has ordered a Celiac panel for me. We will see;)

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
