With a reaction like that please use caution with other nightshades, tomatoes, eggplant, and I think peppers also. I hope your over it soon.

I just noticed you are newly soy free, the potato was just a potato right? No soy oil or anything like that? Soy still gets me too often, it seems to be in even more stuff than gluten, if that is even possible. I have yet to find a margerine or butter sub that is soy free. I just use olive oil or risk the casien in butter. I get the same sort of allergic reaction you do with the soy, only it's my intestines that swell, I thought I had a 'lump' of some kind for 2 years till I went soy free. Whoops that turned into a bit of a rant, sorry. You most likely challenged with a plain potato but just in case it was chips or something like that I thought I should mention it.

Hello SickChick,

Sorry to hear you are "sick". I can relate though. I have been sick for, well off and on, mostly on, since May, but the last 2 months or of 2007 were not good for me. I can so relate to the list of foods I can eat, and the list of foods I can't eat. I have a big list I keep modifying as well. Some I have to take off the "can eat" list and put on the "can't eat" list. Gets very frustrating at times.

I just want to say though, that I have experienced that when I am having a bad bout, usually cause I ate glutens (cause I didn't have a diagnosis so I would eat glutens off and on mistakenly), I find that my body rejects everything until whatever is wrong inside heals. Once it heals, and I stay gluten free for a while, like a few weeks or so, then I can start tolerating more (non-gluten foods). It's like you body has to heal first.

Anyways, good luck with that. It is nice to find people who are having the same problems as me :rolleyes:

Hello ravenwoodglass,

I am new here. I don't really want to introduce myself on someone else's thread. I see you have spent a long time getting the Celiac diagnosis. This now gives me hope that maybe I will get a Celiac Diagnosis! LOL. My tests are always negative. Finally, one day I called up the Celiac association, and they said that I have to eat glutens anywhere from 6 weeks to 2 months to get a positive result (I think they mean from the biopsy). Unfortunatelly I can't do that. In the past I have only eaten glutens for a week before the biopsy. Nothing registers.

Anyways, sounds like you have had a long battle. I am back to see the GI on Monday and to get a gastropscopy on Monday. I don't think I will see any positive results for Celiac disease on the biopsy as I am eating gluten free. Too sick otherwise. Just recovering from a very bad bout. I'm finally "eating" again. I am so happy! Anyways, hopefully my GI will consider some rigorous blood testing to try and get a diagnosis. I hope so.

Bye, Genie

I understand sniiiffffffffffff . . . You have my sincere sympathies.

I had to do the same awhile back. This week I realized peppers have the same effect on me. I LOVE fresh red and yellow peppers. I suspect eggplant has the same effect on me too but I haven't tested it out yet.

It totally sucks. Never to taste a french fry again . . .

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      A low tTG is great news, but it doesn’t always mean the small intestine has fully healed yet—iron and vitamin D absorption can lag behind for months or even years, especially in young children. Many kids need supplements for a period of time while the gut repairs itself, and that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be lifelong. Morning stomach pain is also commonly reported in celiac kids and can be related to slow healing, reflux, motility, or even low iron itself. It sounds like the supplements are clearly helping, which is reassuring, and ongoing monitoring with her doctor can help determine when (or if) doses can be reduced as absorption improves. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      A lot of gluten-free packaged foods do rely on extra sugar, starches, or sodium to replace texture and flavor, so focusing on simpler options makes sense. Many people do better with naturally gluten-free proteins like eggs, plain yogurt, nuts, seeds, hummus, beans, and minimally processed protein bars with lower added sugar and higher fiber. Pairing those with whole foods can help you feel more “normal” without triggering symptoms. Subscription boxes can be hit or miss, so checking labels carefully and using them as an occasional supplement—rather than a staple—often works best.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @McKinleyWY, For a genetic test, you don't have to eat gluten, but this will only show if you have the genes necessary for the development of Celiac disease.  It will not show if you have active Celiac disease.   Eating gluten stimulates the production of antibodies against gluten which mistakenly attack our own bodies.  The antibodies are produced in the small intestines.  Three grams of gluten are enough to make you feel sick and ramp up anti-gluten antibody production and inflammation for two years afterwards.  However, TEN grams of gluten or more per day for two weeks is required to stimulate anti-gluten antibodies' production enough so that the anti-gluten antibodies move out of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they can be measured in blood tests.  This level of anti-gluten antibodies also causes measurable damage to the lining of the intestines as seen on biopsy samples taken during an endoscopy (the "gold standard" of Celiac diagnosis).   Since you have been experimenting with whole wheat bread in the past year or so, possibly getting cross contaminated in a mixed household, and your immune system is still so sensitized to gluten consumption, you may want to go ahead with the gluten challenge.   It can take two years absolutely gluten free for the immune system to quit reacting to gluten exposure.   Avoiding gluten most if the time, but then experimenting with whole wheat bread is a great way to keep your body in a state of inflammation and illness.  A diagnosis would help you stop playing Russian roulette with your and your children's health.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.
