Ok I have been seeing people talk about detoxing for the gluten please help me to understand what everybody is talking about. I usually look here while at work and really don't have much time to read and process what is being said, I don't have a computer at home to take the time. So please let me know what am I expecting to feel from eliminating gluten from my diet.

For me it was nausea for a good month or so. Others say fatigue. Hopefully others will answer. It will go away though.

Hi Donna -

Everyone is different, so you may feel what others do, or you may not. I was SOOOOO bad off!! It does take a bit of time - ( it took me weeks to notice any change) some even say then after 4 to 6 weeks you have a reccurence - and even some more allergies show up. Some people never experience any problems at all - even though the gluten is doing major harm.

Bloating

gas

bubbly, foggy, cloudy bm's

I felt extremely hungry - which before I did not even want to eat.

I was tired all the time -

major brain fog -

headaches -

body aches-

But, I now drink a detox tea - love it - I drink it once a day - has helped my get over a lot of my brain fog issues - even if I accidentally get glutened. I take great vitamin supplements, and drink a vitamin protein drink - once a day pro-biotic - I also elimminated all lotions, soaps, make-up and shampoos that had gluten in them too - and feel so much better - People see me now and can't get over I was the same person they saw months ago - I seriously looked like walking death.

I will send some good thoughts your way - stick with it - you will feel better in the long run!

Hi.

I had some headaches, but most important as soon as I stopped the ingestions of gluten and dairy in few days I noticed a change in me. Now I had been 3 months in the diet, and I am a new person, I'm beginning not to be afraid of food or eating anymore. I was very tired at the beginning, I had to take the vitamins twice a day in order to function.

Best of lucks to you. You will be okay, in a few weeks you will forget and your body will appreciate the change tremendously.

Best regards to you, and remember we are here to help, support, and most important to listen, when you feel tired start writing.

Take care.

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
