I just came back with a positive blood work and now i am going for my biopsy at the end of the month. Anyway, I have been doing a lot of reading on these forums and educating myself about this disease because most likely I have it with all my symptoms and blood test.

My question I don

Celiacs by nature are very food-sensitive. Because the gluten has unthoughtfully chopped the tips of your villi from your small intestine, it is very hard for your body to absorb nutrients, especially in hard to digest foods such as dairy (remember, cow's milk is supposed to be for baby cows!) and soy.

Some Celiacs have no problems with dairy or soy, but some do--especially when sticking to a faithful gluten free diet, but still not feeling their best, many find removing dairy and soy to be helpful to feel "normal" again.

Sure, it makes it a pain to eat, but it just depends on how you want to balance that with quality of life.

Dairy is a common problem for newly diagnosed Celiacs especially, because the tip of the villi that secrete lactase are damaged. This makes for a lactose intolerant situation--most times, it's temporary and after the villi have healed the person can resume dairy. My suggestion would be to forgo dairy for 3 months and then, if you want, try some and see how you do with it.

Celiacs can also be intolerant to the protein in dairy (casein) and the protein in soy. These are most likely caused by a leaky gut--and may be permanent, as the body reacts to the protein every time.

This is highly individual, though--I was intolerant to corn and after not consuming it for over a year, I can now tolerate it. I've not been as lucky with some of my other sensitivites.

Good luck with your biopsy :)

I've eliminated soy because it makes my gut feel almost like I've eaten gluten. If it makes me feel bad, I cut it out of my diet. ;) Everyone is different, you may not have problems with soy or dairy, but a lot of celiacs do.

:) Hi Kristin..

I am fairly new to this...I haven't officially been diagnosed yet...still waiting on enterolabs..but I am also almost 100 % positive I have at least gluten-intolerance. I looked on the Nutric Lab web page as I was very interested in the supplements you were referring too. However....I found that wheatgrass is one of the ingredients in the one that has 55 fruits and veggies. Isn't this something people with gluten sensitivity or celiacs should stay away from?

Wheat grass is something that I can not have with my celiac disease.... it is gluten to me

I had to eliminate dairy because my guts were still churning and it hurt so bad. If I am off for a while perhaps I can retry at a later date. I could hardly eat corn for a while....but now I can so far.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      Well, three months later and a startling revelation! After going gluten free (and nearly bankrupt buying special foods), my wife made a lunch of meat potatoes and gravy made with Bertolli white sauce - no wheat there right? Big flare up withing hours and I was really wiped out with it. She rechecks the label on the sauce bottle and right at the bottom...

      Could this be a new intolerance

      Unfortunately, the development of celiac disease usually is not an end in and of itself. It usually brings along friends, given time. It is at heart an immune system dysfunction which often embraces other immune system dysfunctions as time goes on.

      Thanks so much for the responses. I will urge him to go for further investigation. To be 48yrs old and develop a new allergy.. ugh, As if celiac disease isn’t enough!

      This does not seem to be an anaphylactic response but I agree it would be wise to seek allergy-food sensitivity testing. You might look into ALCAT food sensitivity testing.

      Could this be a new intolerance

      @Celiacpartner, I agree with Scott. We have a food festival yearly in the town I live in, with artisan food stalls everywhere. I spoke to the owner of one of the artisan burger stalls, enquiring if the burgers were gluten-free when I said I was Coeliac ... he said he had a serious anaphylactic allergy to fish himself. He possibly carries an epi-pen or...

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By StuartJ · Posted

      Well, three months later and a startling revelation!  After going gluten free (and nearly bankrupt buying special foods), my wife made a lunch of meat potatoes and gravy made with Bertolli white sauce - no wheat there right?  Big flare up withing hours and I was really wiped out with it.  She rechecks the label on the sauce bottle and right at the bottom of the ingredients XANTHAN GUM. There's our #1 suspect again!  So by way of experimenting, she decided to try making a loaf of bread with just regular white flour like she used to do and see what happened; the familiar smell hit me when I walked in the door last night and I sat down to eat this still warm, fresh goodness - I thought even if I have to take Imodium sandwiches, it will be worth it 😋 No ill effects, either overnight or today!  Half the loaf is now gone because I had some for supper, saving just one last slice for breakfast in the morning` - I've used the bathroom once and that was normal, so maybe it is not the gluten after all? Can't wait to try a beer! 😁
