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.

      Ibuprofen

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
