HI- I am new to this forum...not sure yet how to navigate through it all...but i will give it a try....I have celiac - diagnosed about 6 years ago....for some time now i have had some bowel issues and i am wondering if it could be related to lactose? i just starting keeping a food diary and i don't have an appt. with my gi until april. some of my symptoms are cramps, having to go to the bathroom comes on instantly, sometimes it's explosive, nausea, more headaches, etc. any of you deal with this? thanks.

A food diary is an excellant way to find out what other intolerances you might have. That is how I have been able to figure out most of my food issues.

Also, now that I have a known list of foods I am intolerant to, it is easier for me to determine new food issues that develop. Most recently I figured out I am intolerant to the calcium supplent that is added to non-dairy milks and OJ. I use plain hemp milk now with no problems. Anyway, it took a little time but it really isn't that difficult any more.

It is amazing to be NOT sick, all the time! I had joint pain, headaches, fatigue, gi issues, etc. This is a great place...welcome and good luck!

Are you eating out at all?

Have you checked your medications and personal care products for gluten?

Are you careful about cross-contamination?

Best of luck, and I hope you find answers to your symptoms.

I remembered something else thanks to happygirl. I didn't replace my pans right away (all new a separate now). Forgot and used my old rolling pin (went to goodwill), had to stop using all the plastic because the rest of the family couldn't seem to not use mine, have gotten sick from putting something in the microwave right after something else and got sick. And, Puffs Plus used to have, don't know if it still does, soy in the lotion and I am legume intolerant.

So, maybe you should be super careful and write down what you are using each day.

      How many people also get sick from the following prolamins?

      By Bebygirl01 · Posted

      Prolamins are a type of protein found in cereal grains. Different cereal grains contain different types of prolamins, which are named based on the grain they originate from.  Here's a breakdown by grain:  Wheat: The prolamin is called gliadin. Barley: The prolamin is called hordein. Rye: The prolamin is called secalin. Corn: The prolamin is called zein. Oats: The prolamin is called avenin. Rice: The prolamin is called oryzenin. Sorghum: The prolamin is called kafirin. Prolamins are a major component of cereal storage proteins and are known for their high proline and glutamine content and can get celiacs and non-celiac gluten sensitive individuals sick.

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis

      By DebJ14 · Posted

      Our son was put on Minocycline for his acne.  It did not solve the acne problem.  He developed drug induced lupus and pericarditis from it and missed an entire year of high school.  He literally went from playing football to bedridden in a couple of weeks.  His PCP tested him for genetic antibiotic resistance and he cannot take any drug in the Tetracycline family.  His gut microbiome was totally destroyed.  In fact he had a stool test done and had no good bacteria, whatsoever.   What did fix his (and his brother's acne) years after the Minocycline debacle was when I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and the kids were tested.  They were both put on a Gluten Free/ Caesin Free diet and within a week both kids were totally free of acne.  The family has now been on the diet 18 years and no acne, except for a teenage grandson who will not adhere.  The big clue that he is eating gluten is that his face breaks out!

      confirmed via biopsy, quite depressed

      i am australian. we do have plenty of substitutes, but most are very expensive compared to the originals. i believe i'll just stick to home cooked meals and not have many treats at all. it's sad but it's just so much easier. also, ive heard far too many horror stories of people ordering gluten free food from restaurants and cafés, explicitly telling servers and kitchen staff that cross contamination is a strict no go, and they still get very sick. until i find a reasonably priced fully gluten free kitchen somewhere, i am not eating out for my safety and sanity.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.
