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 . . .

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
