My mom had guillain-barre about two years ago.I have read that celiac disease can sometimes follow a viral infection. She has been sick non-stop since she had the guillain-barre.

She has constant problems with urinary track infections which led to the diagnois of interstitial cystitis,which cause to her to have to change her diet. She did good for awhile,but now is having severe stomach pains,vomiting with almost every meal,and extenvise weight loss.An d she doesn't sleep more that a couple hours a night.

Some days or weeks are good for her others,are to difficult to deal with. I would like to see my mom enjoy life again,and be able to enjoy eating without of fear of whether or not it is going to cause a problem.

If anyone can give me some information,or their thoughts on this,could it be caused from the guillian-barre,and what can be done to help her

Sincerly

Hi Betsy, with the health problems your mom is experiencing she really needs to be tested for Celiac Disease either with blood-work through her doctor or through Open Original Shared Link with a stool panel test. It is very simple to do and you get your results back usually within 2-3 weeks.

If your mom has health insurance I would try the blood-work first then if you do not get the answers you are looking for Enterolab would be a great 2nd opinion.

If she doesn

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.

      I was diagnosed at 18 months old with celiac and lived without wheat, rye, oats, and barley as instructed by my doctor, Dr. Katz at Boston Children's Hospital in the 60's and 70's. I don't agree nor recommend doctors removing oats from restriction, certified gluten-free or not.  I have eaten certified gluten free oats and have had the usual reactions to gluten.  Please reconsider this with newly diagnosed patients.

      It's great to hear that the trip went well, and the general consensus I hear about gluten-free travel in Europe, including my own experiences, is that it is much easier done in comparison to traveling and eating gluten-free in the USA.

      Safely home from my recent trip to the UK. I had zero gut issues while traveling around this pretty country. Our tour leader was very good at making sure the 2 of us with gluten issues on our tour were well taken care of.  We often got our meals before the rest of the group and adaptations to the menu for us were well thought out and very tasty. I just wish restaurants here in the USA took as much pride in making food that everyone can enjoy. Many of the hotels and pubs we ate at had numerous options that were safe for us with wheat/gluten restrictions to eat.
