You don't have to eliminate these items permanently. The idea is to eliminate them and use a very careful diet until you stop bleeding. Then she has other levels that are less restrictive for lesser symptoms like bloating and gas.

That is such good news. If you can get there on a moments notice ask if you can be on their cancellation list, sometimes you can get in quicker. I have wondered how you were doing, I hope they can help you get some answers.

I have an appointment to see a specialist next week to help me out with my diet. I felt terrific for a long time but recently started get C again. Anyways, maybe you should consider a rotation diet (without gluten, of course) and see if you feel better. Check out what I've read on his site. Open Original Shared Link

Mind you I haven't seen him yet and do know if he'll recommend it to me, but it makes sense. I also read about the rotation diet in the book Dangerous Grains.

I hope you feel better soon!

I can eat rice but I don't eat it very often. i'm not a health freak by choice really lol just cause it's easy (and might i briefly step on my soap box: you damn americans who eat fast food cause it's "easy and you don't have time" GROW UP and stop complaining your fat! it takes the same time to make a salad that it does to get in your car and drive to mcdonalds! it's all about taking responsibility...thank you for listening).

I have to confess I'm a MAJOR candy girl! (might I back that up with I'm a dancer and am very active, I eat them cause I can! Clearly I'm one of those "if the pants fit great, if they get tight, cut out something!" I'm 5 foot 2 and 110 pounds) I have cut down cause I just haven't felt like eating it since I'm bloating LOTS....but I have a huge mikasa bowl on my coffee table and the rule is "it always has to be full". All my friends are GREAT and funny cause they say "Mel can only eat candy, so instead of going out to dinner we go to her coffee table and can eat together!" and they bring candy every time they come over! Right now it's full of tootsie rolls, normally it's full of snickers and full size hershey bars.

I love coffee cause of the taste.

Do you mind posting a snickers like recipe?! i LOVE to bake! The whole foods bread is the only one that doesn't feel like brick to me! I CAN'T GET ENOUGH! not to mention they are great in the toaster oven! I'm cutting down on the coke cause I don't want to gain weight and it is easy to replace that with tea.

I'm with you on the grains, I don't think we are supposed to have them...

Guys I'm SO EXCITED to call Dr. Green!!! I'm hoping I can get in fast (and he takes my insurance...minor detail! lol) and praying that I don't have to cut out dairy. I FEAR that is the issue...well part of the issue...I'm starting a food/poo journal today and hopefully it will tell me something.

Again I can't thank you all enough for everything!!!

I am wondering if you might have ulcerative colitis causing the bleeding...several months ago I had a colon infection that caused me to have the colitis..at that time the bleeding was severe but now only have it ocasionally..but have not been able to pinpoint the cause. I am celiac for one and one half years and have that pretty well under control but just do not

know what causes the occasional light bleeding. Hope you find good answers soon..evie

I have read so much about this Dr. Green and what a good diagnostician he is..so good luck to you!!

If you are in the NYC area, you should get an appointment with Dr. Peter Green at Columbia Medical Center. I'm told he is one of the country's foremost experts on Celiac disease.

So as most of yall know I just had another scope because (mind you this has been going on and off since CHRISTMAS and I have been to 2 doctors and looking for my 3rd doctor) I have had bleeding and I am pooing poos 1/2 my weight about 5 times a day. To me, that means SOMETHING IS WRONG. Well this last a-hole scoped me a week ago scoped me because he thought it was a hemeriod and cotterized it. Fine. dandy.

Then after I woke up he brought me into his office and told me in short that I was a hypochondriac and there is no way i have any kind of gluten allergy.

This pissed me off to no end....but here is the kicker.

I'M STILL BLEEDING!!!! WTF?!??!? anyone got ideas? I'm terrified it's Chrones.

So I'm once again looking for a NEW doctor that LISTENS, is smart, and educated in celiac disease...oh and one that my insurance takes. People PLEASE list any and all doctors that you know of in NYC or Astoria area that take insurance. I know some of yall have told me about them but they are to far from me and don't take my insurance. Thanks so so so much.

      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/

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Martha Mitchell · Posted

      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.
