Hi, and welcome to the board!

Yes, a lot of people have multiple intolerances. I don't know if multiple intolerances are more common in people with Celiac, or if Celiacs are just more AWARE of them.

It's hard to give you useful advice without more info--

Are you and all three of your children Celiac/gluten intolerant? When you say one of your kids has no symptoms, do you mean they are an asymptomatic Celiac (no symptoms when they get glutened, even though they're Celiac) or are they Celiac and are currently symptom-free only because they are gluten-free? Are the other two currently gluten-free and still having symptoms? Are you/your kids self-diagnosed or doctor-diagnosed? What happened when you all initially went gluten-free? Etc...

If gluten is the only problem, then symptoms should subside once gluten is completely removed from the diet. If there are still symptoms, or symptoms come back, then there are two possibilities. 1- Hidden gluten is sneaking into the diet. or 2-- There is an additional intolerance that needs to be addressed.

Other intolerances can generally be found by doing an elimination diet. This takes time and organization, but is the best way to do it. If you're interested in details, let us know and we can help you with that.

hi. I put up a large post with my medical history in the prediagnosis topics. I am a poster child of symptoms since 10- joint pain, dislocated joints due to muscles, diarhea, vomiting, constipation, rashes, anxiety, depression, fatigue, etc. I am 32 now. Luckily they having all happened at the same time, but rotated. I self diagnosed years after doctor suggested it. Wheat free diet beneficial for years, but still had problems. Now gluten free only over a week and already feeling better some.

DD- 6 years old, almost 7 still only 40.5 pounds. She is lean. She has weighed this for a long time. She gets mouth sores all the time, gets cranky for no reason at all. sometimes sad and weepy(though not too much), large poops

her twin- my DS- same age almost 7- severe leg pains(has happened during the day, but usually occurs at night- he howls), colic as baby, have seen him vomit cheese twice(He only eats it on store bought pizza???), spoke late, mild speech impediments, large poops

DS 10 yesterday- no symptoms but has Massive bms- read a post where a DR recognized that as a symptom.

I live in a liberal , community very open to natural healing. I have gone to Drs and said I have Wheat allergy, and they believed me. But my town is very small, no GI here.

I knew to start looking for another food intolerance when I started feeling sick again after ten months of feeling great being gluten-free. It was easy for me to track down - everytime I ate peanut butter I felt sick. Other food intolerances can be more of a challenge to figure out.

I guess it's up to you to know the health of your kids and if you think it's normal. If they don't have any reoccurring health issues, there's probably nothing to worry about.

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
