Setback With Being Gluten Free

I have had a major setback this week. After being gluten free and feeling great for 3 weeks I have had two major setbacks. Durning the holidays which happen to be during my period I started to feel bad again. It started out as a few stomach aches and then finally hightened with an evening of extreme nausea and the shakes. My stomach hasn't felt right since then. It hurts so bad and I definitely don't have an appetite. I am trying to force myself to eat but it is all so terrible. My bloodtest for ceilac spure have come back normal. I have an appt. with a GI doctor and a procedure coming up on the 11th. I am really discouraged that I thought all my problems were caused from wheat and gluten and now this setback is making me think it is something else that is causing me to have these symptoms, beings I have been gluten free for the past 3 weeks and still having these symptoms. I am tired of self diagnosing myself and just want to know what is wrong with me. Any comments and advice would be appreciated. Thanks for listening. I am miserable.

Dont give up! I had 3 normal blood tests here in Hawaii and finally a scope before they could confirm celiac which was backed up with a different type of blood test that they didnt know about here but my old doctor from Chicago told me

about. There are so many small things that can cause the problems, especially cross contamination. After 2 years of being gluten-free I got glutened Christmas night at a friends just breathing the air after they were breading things for tempura. Sometimes the things we least expect to contain gluten do so -- like some of the milk here.

I'm sure some of the others on this forum can give you other ideas for tests to ask the doctor about. With luck you wont have to wait as long as I which was 6 months and 3 hospital stays before they figured it out. Some of the folks on the forum went years without knowing. Your on the right track by posting messages and learning about it.

good luck

I had something like that recently and it was just a sensitive stomach and two weeks on ranitidin did the trick. It is probably an over-the counter- medicine. The thing that triggered it was a flu or cold (=stress to the body---increased cortisol in the body= effects on the stomach(they think leucotriens or other substances in the body due to stress and high cortisol are to blame))

      My only proof

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      By lmemsm · Posted

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
