Hi all good morning from sunny south Florida.

I have some questions.

Can one become more sensitive to gluten whe you are not ingesting it?

Can you body reacts strongly to it? once you are off of it.

Many thanks have a great day

That is how my gluten intolerance progressed. Actually, all my intolerances progressed and the longer I was off, either the more sensitive I became or the more I noticed small amounts. I am not sure which it is but it sure seems like I am more sensitive.

I have only been gluten-free for 8 weeks but I am more sensitive to several things now, dairy and some brands of corn products. Looks like your sensitivity goes up a notch after you leave the poison out of your diet.

Hi.

I do not vomit that easily. Now 5-8 minutes after I accidently take any gluten I start to vomit my life out. Then it stops after everything is out of my system.

I guess this is another give from Celiac.

Best regards

Yes! I am so much more sensitive to small amounts of gluten as time goes on. By small amount, I mean cross contamination.

It didn't take long for this to happen after I went gluten-free--I think as soon as I really got all of the gluten out, my immune system took a deep breath and started going after it with a vengence! :D

Actually, before I was diagnosed, I was just plain sick all of the time. It was just some days were better than others. When the offending protein was removed, and I began to slowly have more good days than bad, the symptoms became much easier to define.

As the body heals and becomes healthy a tiny amount of gluten can cause a reaction that in the past may not have been experienced. The longer people are gluten free, the more small amounts of gluten can affect them. That is why cross-contamination is an issue.

I think (and this was just my experience) that I feel sicker now because I'm not sick all the time, my body is not used to feeling this way. Before I went gluten free I was sick nearly every day, and I think I got used to it. Because when I started a gluten free diet, I was shocked at being okay by late afternoon, not in pain or queasy or gassy, etc.

Does that make sense?

The same thing happened to me after about 2 weeks being gluten free. I guess it's your body telling you it doesn't like it.

It makes perfect sense. There are days I feel much better. others that I'm very tired. I am taking the multi vitamins twice a day. :rolleyes:

Maybe this helps explain why I feel more sick now than prior to going gluten-free.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By KimMS · Posted

      Hello! I did a brief search on this and couldn't find recent posts, but feel free to direct me to something if I missed it! I have had a difficult time confirming which thyroid medications (specifically generic forms of Levothyroxine) are gluten-free and safe for celiacs. I am pretty confident the generic manufacturer Mylan is safe, and I have been taking this for almost two years. Recently (I think b/c of a recall), Mylan has not been available at my local pharmacies. The list I typically use for gluten-free drugs (http://glutenfreedrugs.com/newlist.htm) does not list any of the other manufacturers offered by pharmacies in my area (Accord and Macleod). When I do a search, sites tend to say these...

      Newly diagnosed, struggling

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Hello @CeliacNew, If you are Vegan to help you feel better, reconsider returning to omnivore.  Actually, since you are already on a very restrictive diet, transitioning to gluten free might be easier for you.  Read the ingredient labels, Particularly vitamin D and Choline require supplements for vegan diet because our primary source is sun, eggs and beef.  B12 also.

      Multiple symptoms and mixed provider responses

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Once you've completed testing and still don't have improvement, start a trial gluten free diet.  Looking for imprvement that may indicate Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, which is 10 times more prevalent than Celiac Disease. Deficiencies in vitamins B6, B12, D, and C can manifest as skin rashes.  Virtual guaranty you are deficient in vitamin D.

      Help vetting HLA-DQ typing provider

      So those rs numbers tell researchers where the dbSNP is located in a Genome so that other reasearchers or an AI system can look in that specific spot for that Snip of information.  You can look those rs # s by pasting the numbers after rs into the lookup on this page https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/ right under the Blue header bar at the top of the webpage.  Since you are not a researcher, I do not know how this will help you though.

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      By cameo674 · Posted

      So I posted here once before, and everyone advocated that I get into a GI doc.  I finally got into my functional health appointment on 6/16 to get my blood results evaluated and get the Gastro referral. I was told that I would be fortunate to see a gastro doctor by December, because of the number of people waiting to get in, but they did believe that I needed to see a GI doc among others.  Well, the stars aligned. I got home. I looked at MyChart and it showed an appointment available for later that same day. I never clicked so fast on an appointment time. The gastro doc ran some additional blood work based off the December values that had confirmed my daughter's suspicion that I have...
