I went Daiiry & Soy free the beginning of December and I am staying off at least 3-4 months before I re-add any back just in case.

Maybe you should go back off Dairy for a longer period of time Doll...

be well! B)

Don't eat the same things every day - it's the worst thing you can do. You should be rotating the foods you eat, having different things and only eating the same things several days or a week or more apart. The more varied the diet, the better we are for it.

the reason why gluten/wheat becomes such a problem in the first place is that because it is in so many foods we have an over-exposure to it. whilst we may start with a gluten-intolerance, over a period of time and continued exposure, if we have the genetic vulnerability, we will end up with full-blown Celiac.

If you continue to ingest the same foods all the time, because of the over-exposure to these foods the same thing may happen and you will end up with intolerances to these foods as well.

Many who are celiac also find that they are very intolerant or even allergic to foods or factors other than gluten and dairy. The triggers can be anything. I have only recently started gluten-free and I am still working through other intolerances. So far I have found Dairy, Yeast, Tannins (no tea or wine) and possibly Salicylates (I can't tolerate too much veg).

It could be that you are still eating or using something else that is causing the problem. I know its boring, but it might be worth trying the Elimination diet so that you can get a handle on what is causing it.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

It often does take time to actually feel better, however it is worth it in spades.

You might want to dial back on the rice. I can't eat it every day myself despite not eating much gluten for years. It actually has a small amount of gluten in it.

The trail lmix might also be suspect. Even if it doesn't have gluten in it it probably has lots of sugar...plus some folks like me have difficuilty with nuts due to leaky gut that usually accompanies celiac. The nuts are often irritants since they are hard to digest in any case. Its better if you soak them overnight to get rid of the growth inhibitors. It makes them more available as food for you no matter what to slightly sprout them.

I suggest you try yams, sweet potatoes, squash, and/or alternative grains like quinoa (you have to wash it first. to make sure its OK since it also has a growth inhibitor), teff (originally from Ethiopia) and amaranth. Just have the rice say twice a week (i.e., with a couple of days in between) and make sure its brown whole grain stuff.

Also I suggest you try some detox herbs etc. And some enzymes like bromelain/papain. See my posts elsewhere for more on this and other supplements. Alternatively or in addition lots of exercise, suanas, etc. And mucho water.

Wow--though--dial soap is way too strong for me. Are you sure its OK for you?? I'd use some peppermint castille soap instead just to be on the safe side.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      I agree. If someone has Barrett's Esophagus, at least here in the UK, as I understand it under normal circumstances a PPI needs to be taken long term (or similar medication). I have two friends with this. The PPI it does have side effects but they still have to take it.

      Do talk to your doctor about making changes to your medication. I'm not a medical doctor. I'm a microbiologist. I studied nutrition before switching to microbiology because I was curious what vitamins were doing inside the body. I would hate to give advice that jeopardizes your health, so do discuss things with your doctor.

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly. Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO? Are you taking any Benfotiamine? Benfotiamine will help get control of the SIBO. Thiamine deficiency has symptoms in common with MS. Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks? Carbon Monoxide poisoning...

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States. In European countries, different cooking methods and longer fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat. Gluten content can...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      From my own experience and that of others who have tried to discontinue PPI use, I think your taper down plan is much too aggressive. It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound...

Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks?  Carbon Monoxide poisoning can cause the same symptoms as the flu and glutening.  Doctors have to check venous blood (not arterial) for carbon monoxide.  Are other inhabitants sick, or just you?  Do they leave the house and get fresh air which relieves their symptoms?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States.   In European countries, different cooking methods and longer  fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat.  Gluten content can vary according to where the wheat was grown, growing conditions, when harvested, and local preference, so a blend of both hard and soft wheat is used to make a uniform product.   I moved around quite a bit as a child in a military family.  I had different reactions to gluten in different areas of the country every time we moved.  I believe some wheat breeds and blends are able to provoke a worse immune response than others.   Since European soft wheat doesn't contain as much gluten as American wheat, you may try increasing your intake of your soft wheat products.  A minimum of ten grams of gluten is required to get a sufficient immunological response so that the anti-gluten antibodies leave the intestines and enter the bloodstream where they can be measured by the tTg IgA test.  Your whole wheat bread may only have a gram of gluten per slice, so be prepared...

It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound is real. If I were you I would aim at cutting back in weekly increments for two weeks at a time rather than daily increments. So, for instance, if you have been taking 2x20mg per day, the first week cut that down to 2x20mg for six days and 1x20 mg for the other day. Do that for two weeks and then cut down to 2x20mg for five days and 1x20 for two days. On the third week, go 20x2 for four days and 20x1 for 3 days. Give yourself a week to adjust for the reduced dosage rather than reducing it more each week. I hope this makes sense.
