Struggling

Hi,

I am new to this website and I really hope someone can help me. I have been on a gluten free diet for the past 2 years and the only time I have been sick is when I eat gluten in foods without realising it is in it.

At the moment I am sitting here with pains, bloating and my arms and legs are covered in huge red welts which are that itchy its driving me crazy. I am trying desparately to find what I have eaten to start this reaction.

My question is ...... does anyone know if Balsamic vinegar contains malt/gluten.....As it is the only thing I can think that I have had to give me this reaction.

I knew that I couldn't have malt vinegar but thought that balsamic was OK.

If anyone can help I would really appreciate it....

thanks

:huh:

Most of them are okay but some balsamic vinagers will have added flavors to them. Have you called the maker to ask if this is gluten-free? That would be my first step. Also some food companies will change formulas or plants, this could make something you have eaten that was safe now unsafe. When cereals decided it is healthier to be multigrain many added wheat starch to products that had been safe just to have that multigrain label. Make sure you periodically recheck products that you use.

You also talk of food but don't mention personal products. Have you checked shampoos and such? Many of us become more sensitive to small amounts once the body gets used to being gluten free so do check those products also if you haven't already.

It can be really hard to pinpoint what the problem is at times we never find out what 'got' us, I hope you are able to figure it out soon.

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
