Hot Lemon Water

Drinking hot lemon water is generally really good for you... but what about Celiacs whose digestive tracks are still healing? Do you think it would be too rough on them?

Only your system will know for sure. It would after all just be hot lemonade. I would start out with just a small amount of fresh squeezed juice and maybe a touch of honey. If you tolerate that okay then you could go a little stronger. I would not use something like Real Lemon or a concentrated juice unless it is organic. If you get nauseaous or your stomach hurts afterwards wait a month or two and try it again.

I use the minute maid frozen lemon juice in the black box. Much better for you than real lemon.

I started doing this before my breast reduction a year ago to help reduce swelling, and it seemed to help overall but sometimes upset my stomach. I've been meaning to start again, but I find myself not wanting it because I'm worried I'll get an upset stomach.

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      Thanks so much Scott. I would be incredibly grateful to the gluten gods if eliminating oats was the magic cure. In the meantime, it's nice to have moral support!

      Eating gluten before blood test

      By trents · Posted

      Understood. And don't beat yourself up about this. Many are in the same boat as you, having experimented with the gluten-free diet before getting formerly tested. It is a logical, common sense approach when you don't have the knowledge about how testing works or you don't have the healthcare resources to afford testing. And some experience such severe reactions to gluten that it is impossible to get through the gluten challenge in order to get tested. So, they must live with the ambiguity of not knowing for sure if they suffer from celiac disease or NCGS. But at the end of the day, the antidote is the same for both. Namely, life-ling abstinence from gluten. Recently there was an article on posted on this forum about the develop of a new testing method for diagnosing celiac disease that do not require a gluten challenge. It is still in the developmental stage and probably years away from becoming main streams even if it pans out. But there is hope at least.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
