Wondering If I Have A Problem With Gluten.

I have been looking in to many things to control my acne when I stumbled across information about Gluten. I saw it ages ago but I thought I might as well give it a go as I have tried pretty much everything else. I followed a gluten free diet for about 4 days and there did seem to be an improvement in my general feeling of wellbeing and my skin also improved slightly. It hasn't been too good recently due to all the beer I have been drinking.

I unfortunately went out for a friends leaving party and of course had many pints of beer and I noticed my skin take a turn for the worse as it always does 2 days later. I always thought I had a problem with Alcohol but it seems it might be gluten but who knows.

It would be fantastic to have finally found out what is causing my skin problems, my inability to put any weight on, even though I eat a lot and the fact I am pretty much always tired.

Anyone else have skin problems, basically acne and weight issues caused by gluten?

I had weird experiences with beer in the past... For example... I once had a good 10 beers one night, and during my sleep I intermittently drank some water... I drank 3 litres (3/4 of a full 4L jug) of water during the night alone... Somehow after drinking beer I can drink endless amounts of water and always crave more.

When i drink a mickey of hard alcohol on the other hand I don't really get thirsty at all, during the night, or the next morning... Also the hangover isnt NEARLY as bad... so i'm still thinking what such experiences mean.... They haven't phoned me from the clinic, so i dont know if that means the blood test is negative or what...

Shouldnt the clinic call me anyways, to tell me the composition of my blood?

snipe12,

I definitely get acne (often cystic) as part of my reaction to gluten. First comes the digestive reaction, followed closely by acne. It's odd, but I've just started to notice that the pimples seem to migrate predictably from the edges of my face toward my mouth, with the last crop occurring at the very edges of my lips. I wonder what that means? If I have several "accidents" in quick succession I will also get acne on my chest and/or back.

My mood also goes haywire about three days after an "accident," although I never would have noticed this if I had not 1.) started tracking my moods on a chart and 2.) been placed on a mood stabilizer, which effectively eliminated "noise" that tended to mask this reaction.

I think it's all very interesting!

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
