Boy In Uk Down To Just Six Foods....

Hey all -

This story was on Good Morning America yesterday. Fascinating - thought I'd share since so many on this forum have multiple food intolerances, or are even down to just a handful of foods. I know I've seen this diagnosis and subject addressed here before, so my ears perked up when I heard the term.

Happy Friday. :)

Thanks Susan (my sister calls my daughter SusieQ, her name is Holly Sue). I wish my mother would read these things, but I have given up. I have stopped printing things from the internet for her, she tells me I have "got to stop believing what I read on the net cause none of it is true!" I just give up, she knows it all, so there is no sense in my bothering to try to help her understand that I am not at the same level of celiac as my sister. I have so many intolerance's, but to her, it's in my head and I am just being stubborn!

Thanks for the article!

I wonder if this is the same thing Laura was researching a while back, the name sounds familiar and it fits the description.

Thnaks for posting this link.

Deb -

So sorry about your mom not reading things. That is intensely frustrating. I know when I try to talk to DOCTORS and regular people about gluten removal and mental health, nobody gets it.

Julie - it's the same thing Laura was looking into.

I just wonder how many people have it and don't know it? I'm quite sure that fewer doctors would know about this than would even know about Celiac.

Yes, its what I was looking into. I was tested after I had been off all the "bad" foods for awhile, so we'll never fully know...plus, I've had other diagnoses since then. Either way, my reactions closely mimicked the eos. disorders.

A good resource for anyone who needs it is www.apfed.org

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—

      @GlorietaKaro, your respiratory reactions to gluten make me wonder if there might also be an allergic (anaphylaxis) component at work here.
    • GlorietaKaro
      Thanks to both of you for your responses!  Sadly, even after several years of very strict gluten avoidance, I remember the symptoms well enough that I am too frightened to risk a gluten challenge— heartbeat and breathing problems are scary— Scott, thank you for the specific information— I will call around in the new year to see if I can find anyone. In the meantime, I will carry on has I have been— it’s working! Thanks also for the validation— sometimes I just feel crushed by disbelief. Not enough to make me eat gluten though—

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @GlorietaKaro! As Scott indicated, without formal testing for celiac disease, which would require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten daily for weeks, it would be not be possible to distinguish whether you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Their symptoms overlap. The difference being that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. We actually no more about celiac disease than we do about NCGS, the mechanism of the latter being more difficult to classify. There are specific antibody tests for celiac disease diagnosis and there is also the endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining. Currently, there are no tests to diagnose NCGS. Celiac disease must first ruled out. Researchers are working on developing testing methods to diagnose celiac disease that do not require a "gluten challenge" which is just out of the question for so many because it poses serious, even life-threatening, health risks. But we aren't there yet.
