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.

      Should not be a problem except for the most sensitive celiacs. The amount of gluten that would get in the air from cooking alone has got to be miniscule.

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure. These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract. Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop.

      symptoms.

      @Rebeccaj, When you smell toast or pasta cooking, that means that particles of that food are floating around in the air. Airborne gluten can then be inhaled and swallowed, meaning the food particles get into your digestive tract. If you're careful to avoid gluten and are still having symptoms, those symptoms could be caused by vitamin deficiencies...

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      Do discuss this recent article with your doctors. Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is important to intestinal health. Thiamine deficiency can occur in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption. Supplementing with a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and Vitamin D can help symptoms. Thiamine deficiency aggravates experimental colitis in mice by promoting glycolytic reprogramming...

I would be more concerned about cross contamination happening in other ways in a living environment where others are preparing and consuming gluten-containing foods. Thinks like shared cooking surfaces and countertops. And what about that toaster you mentioned?

Some people with Celiac Disease also make tTg IgA 6 antibodies in response to gluten exposure.  The tTg IgA 6 antibodies attack the brain, causing ataxia.  These tTg IgA 6 antibodies are also found in people with Parkinson's disease, though they may not have Celiac Disease.  First degree relatives (parents, siblings, children) of those diagnosed with Celiac should be tested as well.  Celiac is genetic.  Your mom and sister should be tested for Celiac, too!   Definitely a good idea to keep to a gluten free diet.
