Hello everyone..

My names mandy ..

After a long 14 month sof illness ..misery giving up my home etc..I THINK and hope I am on the right track..

I am doing challenge ready for biopsy as been so ill it all started after I had surgery and loads of antibiotics ..oh and also got made redundant after reporting sexual harrassement..so could be any one of these things that have triggered it..

My main symptoms are gi symptoms when it all started 14 months ago I had massive distention, constipation, diarreah, seizures, really bad deppression, anxiety, low self esteem, heart burn, pains in stomach, thick rash thing at base of my bum crack excuse my explanation!!!! I do suffer from herpes and thought it was that but I dont think it was now I am looking into this whole celiac thing..

Also, today my lip looks like I ve had btox and I have what I thought was a cold sore but does anyone get lots of little blisters on thier lips? I have 4 on my lip and one on my skin below my lip and you dont normally get them there do you??

May be its the stress of the challenge as I feel so ruff all the time and I am going out of my mind stuck in here as never feel up to go anywhere and I ve been signed off work til test got another 2 1/2 weeks yet ..

Oh well at least the sun is shinning ahey ...hope your all getting better..better..or recovering well

Take care everyone

just spreading some thoughts to people:

anyway, anyone who sees this should attempt a "no table salt or iodized salty food diet" for a few weeks. if you have the same lip/mouth area dh/acne then its worth doing. i have also changed my soap from the dial gel which you need the sponge thingy to a bar of white ivory.

if you do this lmk how it works out for you, also kosher salt is okay, so if you do and want to go out to eat bring a little w/ you.

only the best,

thanks about that tip about no salt. I have Dh and my son gets the mouth and lip blisters. So I hope this will make it better for both of us.

I only use dove, is that close enough to white ivory, or shouild i change to that.

not sure about dove, but i was told that as long as its not colored soap then it should be okay and that is what im going by. not exactly the most scientific approach, but it seems to be fine.

anyways, w/ the salt though i do recommend that you avoid iodized salt and anything salty for a few weeks and see how it goes. it can difficult, but just eat more fruit and you'll be fine!

lmk how it goes,

Stick with your Dove. They are safe. It is not the coloring in the soaps and shampoos and such we need to be careful of as 'Vitamin E', may be from wheat or soy, oats, wheat germ oil, and some of the vehicles for fragrances. Most products have a phone number or web site the safest thing to do with everything is to call the number. As a bonus many times the company will offer to send coupons or samples. Makes it doubly worth the call.

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Living with celiac disease can be especially hard when you’re in a smaller town and don’t have many people around who truly understand it, so you’re definitely not alone in feeling this way. Ongoing fatigue, joint pain, and headaches are unfortunately common in people with celiac disease, even years after diagnosis, and they aren’t always caused by gluten exposure alone. Many people find that issues like low iron, low vitamin D, thyroid problems, other autoimmune conditions, or lingering inflammation can contribute to that deep exhaustion, so it’s reasonable to push your doctor for more thorough blood work beyond just vitamin B. As for eggs, it’s also not unusual for people with celiac disease to develop additional food intolerances over time; tolerating eggs as an ingredient but not on their own can point to sensitivity to the proteins when they’re concentrated. Some people do better avoiding eggs for a while, then carefully testing them again later. Most importantly, trust your body—if something consistently makes you feel awful, it’s okay to avoid it even if it’s technically “allowed.” Many of us have had to advocate hard for ourselves medically, and connecting with other people with celiac disease, even online, can make a huge difference in feeling supported and less isolated.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Cecile! It is common for those with celiac disease to develop sensitivity/intolerance to non-gluten containing foods. There is a high incidence of this with particularly with regard to dairy products and oats but soy, eggs and corn are also fairy common offenders. Like you eggs give me problems depending on how they are cooked. I don't do well with them when fried or scrambled but they don't give me an issue when included in baked and cooked food dishes or when poached. I have done some research on this strange phenomenon and it seems that when eggs are cooked with water, there is a hydrolysis process that occurs which alters the egg protein such that it does not trigger the sensitivity/intolerance reaction. Same thing happens when eggs are included in baked goods or other cooked dishes since those recipes provide moisture.  So, let me encourage you to try poaching your eggs when you have them for breakfast. You can buy inexpensive egg poacher devices that make this easy in the microwave. For instance:  https://www.amazon.com/Poacher-Microwave-Nonstick-Specialty-Cookware/dp/B0D72VLFJR/ Crack the eggs into the cups of the poacher and then "spritz" some water on top of them after getting your fingers wet under the faucet. About 1/4 teaspoon on each side seems to work. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on top and then snap the poacher shut. I find that with a 1000 watt microwave, cooking for about 2 minutes or slightly more is about right. I give them about 130 seconds. Fatigue and joint pain are well-established health problems related to celiac disease.  Are you diligent to eat gluten-free? Have you been checked recently for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? Especially iron stores, B12 and D3. Have you had your thyroid enzyme levels checked? Are you taking any vitamin and mineral supplements? If not, you probably should be. Celiac disease is also a nutrient deficiency disease because it reduces the efficiency of nutrient absorption by the small bowel. We routinely recommend celiacs to supplement with a high potency B-complex vitamin, D3, Magnesium glycinate (the "glycinate" is important) and Zinc. Make sure all supplements are gluten-free. Finally, don't rule out other medical problems that may or may be associated with your celiac disease. We celiacs often focus on our celaic disease and assume it is the reason for all other ailments and it may not be. What about chronic fatigue syndrome for instance?

      I work as a renal RD and have a Celiac pt which has been rare for me (I might have had 3-4 Celiac pts in 15 years). I wondered if anyone can confirm that these medications are gluten free and safe for Celiac.  Ferric citrate (Auryxia)  Sucroferric oxyhydroxide (Velphoro)  lanthanum carbonate (Fosrenol) sevelamer carbonate (Renvela)   Thank you!

      I have had celiac for over 5 years.  I am in a smaller town, and it is not a common thing.  Can you all help me with a few things?  I keep going to my Doctor because I am so tired.  I mean really tired.  I also have joint pain and headaches.  I was told this is from Celiac, but they say the tiredness may not be.  If so, does anything help you with this?  I am on Vitamin B shots, but they are not taking care of the problem.  Also, when I eat eggs, they tear me up.  This gives be intestinal issues badly.  Eggs in things, do not bother me as eating a boiled or fried egg.  I need some celiac friends and advice.  Thanks all!!
