Hi all,

I am on day 6 of eating gluten again and look about 8 months pregnant and feel awful.

I ate bread at first but if Candida then yeast would agrevate it. Now eating multigrain porrige and ryitas for lunch and tum is still massive and I get these crampy period type pains. Ive also noticed I do have BM but they arent D they are just big!!

Becuase I havent got D I am getting paranoid that maybe this isnt celiac??

I also get facial swelling does any one get that at all??

I am in an awful situation I have just started working for the NHS and they have told me to make myself ill ready for biopsy and I am worried about my new job. I have tried to go in and my boss doesnt really understand I dont thik as she said dont worry we will get you better here you are why dont use try these suppot tights they may help?????????? :blink:

Been to docs this am as off work and said what am I supposed to do I couldnt go in and start moving sick people etc as I fel to ill.. He gave me a certificate to stay off work for two weeks but I am so worried...

take care peeps

gluten day number 6 and counting ..

Firstly, I think you already have a diagnosis - via the diet!

Second, not having D doesn't mean much if anything. Everyone has their own unique set of reactions, and many have C, D, or neither. Try not to look for an exact match to any one person. You'll likely share various symptoms with different people.

If you want to continue to eat gluten, suppose you just have a tiny bit? From what I've read, the antibodies will remain for several days, so as long as the immune system is on the offense, I would hope a small amount of gluten would "keep the charge going" as it were. I'm not an expert in this, but that's my understanding.

Thanks rice guy...

I know you all prob think I am mad doing this but I am still doubting its celiac even whilst doing the gluten challenge as I was being treated for candida before I am aware I get different reactions with sugar & gluten!!!

Ive been cutting out sugar and yeast and when I do have them thats when i get major depression and really sick..however I did follow the anticandida diet for 7 months strictly and the bloat didnt go completley what so ever and she did say I must have a nother problem stopping it going ....

Mind you Ive only had a small bowel of wheat flakes this am bloating is massive got a really bad headache..but when I have lunch with a few ryvitas my tum gets so massive I feel like I am going to

explode.

Yeah I know what your saying about not eating much but I have been informed by the celiac society to eat 4 slices of bread (min) a day to damage the villi for 6 weeks. So, I dont want to go through all this and havent done enough damage seems silly to risk that aswell. Ive tried not eating anything gluten after lunch but still have the symtoms in the morning I suppose it continues longer than just the same day.

Have a nice day thanks for posting nice to feel people want to share this horrible mess we are all in.

I think you should take legal advice... CAB for free? just to make sure you know your rights if this gets tough...

They might be doing you a favour or think they are or it could be a double edged sword... read on...to the end to prevent jumping to conclusions.

I'm pretty certain that they can't force you to eat gluten against your will, indeed worded the correct way it would amount to deliberatly poisioning someone. Bear this in mind...as you read on...

Celiac is a commercial business in the UK, the NHS pays way over the odds for gluten-free food for prescription, about 4-5 times the going rate in a supermarket for the same thing. Many NHS trusts are trying to crack down on the amount but not the cost???

Secondly CUK is a "charity" that shares office space, directors etc. with "The coeliac trading company" which is NOT a charity...

Don't take my word, you can do a search at companies house on the internet...

The directors are presumably paid as well for consultancy ...

CUK advises the NHS....

Next CUK only accepts biopsy proven coelaics... this flies in the face of current research...

Please take some time to read up.... these are real medical papers...

Also: Follow-Up to the Catassi Study -- Scandinavia

Colin, et al, published a follow-up study to the Catassi (Coeliac Disease in the Year 2000:Exploring the Iceberg - University of Ancona, Italy) in the Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology 28(7):595-8, 1993, which demonstrated that approximately one third of the patients from the Catassi Study who had raised antibodies but no villous atrophy, did have villous atrophy when tested two years later. These results raise the number of diagnosed celiacs from the Catassi, et al study to over 1 in 200.

"Neurologic manifestations of gluten sensitivity are a scientific fact, not a theological issue. Whilst the debate continues, we owe it to our patients to screen them effectively for gluten sensitivity with the simple widely available antigliadin antibody test so that we do not in the meantime deprive them of a harmless but potentially effective treatment in the form of a gluten-free diet."

In other words they could be damaging you, even giving you organ damage that is never repairable, neurological damage etc.

      Hey there, have you been tested for allergies? You may not only have celiac disease but be allergic. I have celiac disease and am allergic to Barley, wheat and rye.

      I have osteopenia and have cracked three vertebrae.  Niacin is connected to osteoporosis! Do talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with B vitamins.  Blood tests don't reveal the amount of vitamins stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system and can reflect vitamins absorbed from food eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Those "normal limits" are based on minimum amounts required to prevent disease, not levels for optimal health.   Keep us posted on your progress.   B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9662251/ Association of dietary niacin intake with osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women in the US: NHANES 2007–2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11835798/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/   Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8398893/ Nutritional Consequences of Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet https://www.mdpi.com/2036-7422/15/4/61 Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/

      Thank you so much for the clarification! Yes to these questions: Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!

      @JudyLou,  I have dermatitis herpetiformis, too!  And...big drum roll... Niacin improves dermatitis herpetiformis!   Niacin is very important to skin health and intestinal health.   You're correct.  dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs on extensor muscles, but dermatitis herpetiformis is also pressure sensitive, so blisters can form where clothing puts pressure on the skin. Elastic waist bands, bulky seams on clothing, watch bands, hats.  Rolled up sleeves or my purse hanging on my arm would make me break out on the insides of my elbows.  I have had a blister on my finger where my pen rested as I write.  Foods high in Iodine can cause an outbreak and exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. You've been on the gluten free diet for a long time.  Our gluten free diet can be low in vitamins and minerals, especially if processed gluten free foods are consumed.  Those aren't fortified with vitamins like gluten containing products are.  Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, medicine, or vitamins? Niacin deficiency is connected to anemia.  Anemia can cause false negatives on tTg IgA tests.  A person can be on that borderline where symptoms wax and wane for years, surviving, but not thriving.  We have a higher metabolic need for more nutrients when we're sick or emotionally stressed which can deplete the small amount of vitamins we can store in our bodies and symptoms reappear.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards. The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.    Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.   However, another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.   I recommend getting checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  More than just Vitamin D and B12.  A gluten challenge would definitely be a stressor capable of precipitating further vitamin deficiencies and health consequences.   Best wishes!
