I find I cannot eat certain brands of gluten free foods. Just because it says gluten free doens't mean I can eat it. :(

Was terribly sick this week after my grandmother bought me some gluten free cookies. I stayed away from them for 2 days... then ate them again, the same thing happened. so i now know to avoid that brand.

Is anyone else like that? or is it just me?

Maybe you have other allergies. Maybe you system is not ready for the cookies. When first going gluten free it is good to stick to basic things as your system starts to rebuild itself.

Dear ginap73,

I agree with blueeyedmanda. You probably do have other allergies. Have you done the Enterolab testing? Their panel tests for soy, casein, and egg intolerances as well as gluten. They also do the DNA testing to see if you have the Celiac gene or the gluten intolerance gene. It is a stool test where they use it to test for antibodies to these things. The entire panel is $380. You could also do a rotation diet. I have an overgrowth of yeast, and it can make much of the food I eat not set well. If you have been on a lot of antibiotics, birth control, and/or steroids, it is a good possibility.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

This enterolab test.. is that through a GI or is it one of those internet order tests? I'm a little weary of those.

May I ask how they diagnosed you with the yeast overgrowth? I'd like to get tested for that as well?

Dear justme,

It is ordered over the internet. However, many people on here have had it done. They said it is very accurate. I had blood tests and upper and lower GIs done. I do not think the team of doctors knew what to look for with Celiac. Many do not. Some GIs are misinformed to the point it is dangerous. One man on here was told he outgrew Celiac and could go back to a regular diet. You never outgrow Celiac. It is a disease you will have your entire life. The diet is the only way to repair damage and prevent further damage. Now, this man has blunted villi!

Dear UNCHeel,

Most regular MDs refuse to accept Candida as an illness or cause of it. That is why I began seeing a holistic physician last year. There are some other kinds of doctors who do diagnose it. Sikh chiropractors and naturopaths are a good bet, too. Seeing one of these will normally help you get a diagnosis. I also filled out a questionaire.

It does not always manifest with just a regular yeast infection. Symptoms tend to cause gastrointestinal distress as well. Certain symptoms that are typical include a white coating on the tongue, lower abdominal bloating, hormonal problems such as irregular menses, or abnormalities concerning it, headaches, Fibromyalgia, craving sugar, yeasty foods, or alcohol, balance issues, ringing in the ears, and so many more problems. It can cause over 100 different symptoms alone! I found the pathology so fascinating, I wrote a research paper on it. I also discovered I am probably a walking fungus! :( I would be more than happy to send you a copy if you provide your e-mail.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
