evening everyone, so ive been gluten-free now for 2 months except for the 4 days previous to my visit with the dermatologist (ugh that was awful) starting to feel better now, also off soy as im pretty darn sure im allergic (the swelling and the hives are a bit of a give a way) however read the ingrediants to all my salad dressings that are gluten and flour free, they ALL have soybean oil, ugh talk about a pain in the butt!!!, but im still finding that i am bloated slightly with some gas and rumbly tummy after i eat. im truly hoping that im not also dealing with a milk allergy. what do you eat and drink if you are? i want to do the exclusion thing for a coule of weeks but need to know what to eat, thanks for the advices

Hey there, I'm a newbie as well. I have similiar issues with the milk and it's just not a part of my life anymore with the rare exception of an occasional inclusion of butter. I've tried Almond Milk when I felt desperate. Not crazy about it. I'm not crazy about the gluten free cereals and have finally quit coffee, so I don't have a big need for a dairy type liquid anyway. It's hard, I miss dairy products much more than gluten, but feeling better is worth it. Hope the exclusion works for you.

I'm currently dairy and soy free, too, so I use Whole Food's 365 brand of vanilla rice milk, but I really only use it for baking and cooking, as I don't eat gluten-free cereals or drink it straight. I also use either coconut oil or palm oil shortening (both by Spectrum organics) in place of butter in my cooking, and they both work really well. I miss butter on my potatoes and such, and boy do I miss cheese, but it's something you get used to, I guess.

Good luck--it can definitely be tricky and limiting!

well thanks for the input, i started reading labels and much to my surprice all my salad dressings that i have been eating have soybean oil in them!! so im thinking that this is the reason i still have not been feeling well, im also taking a lactaid now when i have milk, cheeze or ice cream and seeing if this helps, i feel better the last 2 days, didnt realize how many things have soy, and i thought that they were fine!

Annie's makes salad dressings that are soy free (not all are, but most are--also, not all are gluten-free, but again most are). Before I began making my own dressing, I used Annie's dressings all the time--I got them from Whole Foods, Kroger, and health food stores.

There are so many oils out there. Soy is very cheap. Why not experiment with different oils and make your own dressing? There are grape seed oils, walnut oils, avocado oils, peanut oils, oils, oils, oils... I have made my dressings with apple cider vinegar, or lime juice, or squeezed lemon, or orange juice and more. If you allow it to marinate with a chopped fresh herb such as basil or cilantro or parsley or thyme, or even rosemary.. well, the flavor is amazing. You feel clean after eating such a fresh salad.

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!
