Hi, I'm Subhangi from Australia. Just thrilled to be part of a forum full of people with the same symptoms as me. Been suffering alone for years. Only eye rolls from all the healthy family and friends whenever I complained. This is a b---- of an illness. Love you all and thanks for the gold mine of info. I guess I am in denial. Just changing my diet has not been enough. I was diagnosed 2 yrs ago, and still suffering everything under the sun....luv :P

Hi Subhangi,

Going gluten free is certainly not an easy task, though getting easier with a lot of products going gluten free, but its the hidden little things you find gluten in that im finding more of a problem ..

Joining the Coeliac Society, has helped filling me in on products that are safe to eat.

Found out recently that the choc topping on coffee cappicino especially is not always gluten free.. so that was a hidden one for me i didn't even think of... but feel free to email me directly if you like to find out anything.. I have been gluten free for nearly 12 months and my cholestrol and health has improved.. but its a constant battle with food.

My email addy is noreenbriggs@optusnet.com.au if you want to me email me and just vent tis fine..

Good to see another aussie on here...

Thanks .. dreams25

Hi Noreen,Nice to talk to u ;)

Yep, seem to get contaminated everytime I turn around. I'm vegetarian anyway should be healthy but just feel like I'm dying constantly because of this disease. It is so incideous(probably spelt wrong but had to use that word as it is appropriate)I'm curious, diet coke is my weakness, anyone heard anything bad about gluten and coke?

Bye, Subhangi xx

Hello there, sorry your still having relapses. It's definitely not an easy diet but better than feeling awful 100% of the time. I think I prefer having to be on a diet than medicine for life ; D

I read somewhere that all Pepsi and Coke products are ok. Do a forum search on Coke.

Hi Subhangi,

I drink Coke a bit and I have no problems. I hate saying that because this disease affects everyone differently,and even if you aren't having symptoms,doesn't mean it's gluten free,you still need to verify. The best thing to do is call the manufacturer. They all have 800 numbers. I know it sounds like a pain,but you would be sure and it would ease your mind.

Here is a link to mainstream products that are gluten free on this site. :D

      Waiting for urgent referral.

      Thank you again for your reply and comments which I have read carefully as I appreciate any input at this stage. I'm tending to listen to what my body wants me to do, having been in agony for many years any respite has been welcome and avoiding all wheat and lactose has thankfully brought this.  When in pain before I was seen by a number of gynacologists as I had 22 fibroids and had an operation 13 years ago to shrink them . However the pain remained and intensified to the point over the years where I began passing out. I was in and out of a&e during covid when waiting rooms where empty. My present diet is the only thing that's given me any hope for the future. As I say I had never heard of celiac disease before starting so I guess had this not come up in a conversation I would just have carried on. It was the swollen lymph node that sent me to a boots pharmacist who immediately sent me to a&e where a Dr asked questions prescribed antibiotics and then back to my GP. I'm now waiting for my hospital appointment . Hope this answers your question. I found out more about the disease because I googled something I wouldn't normally do, it did shed light on the disease but I also read some things that this disease can do. On good days I actually hope I haven't got this but on further investigation my mother's side of the family all Celtic have had various problems 're stomach pain my poor grandmother cried in pain as did her sister whilst two of her brother's survived WW2 but died from ulcers put down to stress of fighting.  Wishing you well with your recovery.  Many thanks

      Welcome to the forum, @Nacina, What supplements is your son taking?

      @BluegrassCeliac, I'm agreeing.  It's a good thing taking magnesium. And B vitamins. Magnesium and Thiamine work together.  If you supplement the B vitamins which include Thiamine, but don't have sufficient magnesium, Thiamine won't work well.  If you take Magnesium, but not Thiamine, magnesium won't work as well by itself. Hydrochlorothiazide HCTZ is a sulfonamide drug, a sulfa drug.  So are proton pump inhibitors PPIs, and SSRIs. High dose Thiamine is used to resolve cytokine storms.  High dose Thiamine was used in patients having cytokine storms in Covid infections.  Magnesium supplementation also improves cytokine storms, and was also used during Covid. How's your Vitamin D?

      Hi,   Not saying Thiamine (B1) couldn't be an issue as well, but Mg was definitely the cause of my problems. It's the only thing that worked. I supplemented with B vitamins, but that didn't change anything, in fact they made me sick. Mg stopped all my muscle pain (HCTZ) within a few months and fixed all the intestinal problems HCTZ caused as well. Mom has an allergy to some sulfa drugs (IgG Celiac too), but I don't think I've ever taken them. Mg boosted my energy as well. It solved a lot of problems. I take 1000mg MgO a day with no problems. I boost absorption with Vitamin D. Some people can't take MgO,  like mom, she takes Mg Glycinate. It's one of those things that someone has try and find the right form for themselves. Everyone's different. Mg deficiency can cause anxiety and is a treatment for it. A pharmacist gave me a list of drugs years ago that cause Mg deficiency: PPIs, H2 bockers, HCTZ, some beta blockers (metoprolol which I've taken -- horrible side effects), some anti-anxiety meds too were on it. I posted because I saw he was an IgG celiac. He's the first one I've seen in 20 years, other than my family. We're rare. All the celiacs I've met are IgA. Finding healthcare is a nightmare. Just trying to help. B

      It sounds like you've been through a lot with your son's health journey, and it's understandable that you're seeking answers and solutions. Given the complexity of his symptoms and medical history, it might be beneficial to explore a few avenues: Encourage your son to keep a detailed journal of his symptoms, including when they occur, their severity, any triggers or patterns, and how they impact his daily life. This information can be valuable during medical consultations and may help identify correlations or trends. Consider seeking opinions from specialized medical centers or academic hospitals that have multidisciplinary teams specializing in gastrointestinal disorders, especially those related to Celiac disease and Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOE). These centers often have experts who deal with complex cases and can offer a comprehensive evaluation. Since you've already explored alternative medicine with a nutrition response doctor and a gut detox diet, you may want to consider consulting a functional medicine practitioner. They take a holistic approach to health, looking at underlying causes and imbalances that may contribute to symptoms. Given his low vitamin D levels and other nutritional markers, a thorough nutritional assessment by a registered dietitian or nutritionist specializing in gastrointestinal health could provide insights into any deficiencies or dietary adjustments that might help alleviate symptoms. In addition to routine tests, consider asking about more specialized tests that may not be part of standard screenings. These could include comprehensive stool analyses, food intolerance testing, allergy panels, or advanced imaging studies to assess gut health.
