Tapioca?

Does anyone else here react just as severely to Tapioca as they do gluten?

I get the Big D, joint pain, muscle spams, cramping, dizziness, nausea, low blood sugar, etc. Usually my glutening reaction is very severe and passes quickly (within 72 hours), but last time I was "tapioca-d" I was sick as a dog for a week.

I also have a latex allergy, and I have seen a measly 2 articles linking that to a cross reaction with tapioca. Apparently reactions to the "spurge" family are not common.

Anyone else react? Or am I just a weirdo? :ph34r:

Nope, you're not a weirdo :D

I react to tapioca with the same cramping, stomach pain and D--and it also makes my mouth extremely dry while I'm still chewing. It dosen't give me the mood symptoms, however.

Flour??? Pudding???? What kind of product???

Could there be a CC issue or do you think it is just tapoica itself?

My b-f reacts to tapioca flour. However tapioca starch does not seem to bother him. Weird huh?

Yes, I react with cramping, pain and violent D when I eat tapioca. It took me a while to figure it out. I hate not being able to eat tapioca because it is in all pre-made breads and is a great starch for baking.

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By trents · Posted

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
