Do I Have It?

I find I get very constipated with hemmoroids after eating grains.. My vision gets blurry.. My hangovers after drinking beer are terrible, but not so terrible when drinking liquor... My face breaks out, but clears up when I only eat fruits and lean meat... I feel sick sometimes after eating... Ive always been skinny and find it hard to gain weight unless I eat alot of fast food...Does this sound like Celiac? Also how long would it take for my insides to heal??

Seems that you have been around, but this is your first post. Welcome.

Celiac can have over 200 symtoms and many of the one you mentioned are symptoms.

Have you ever had any testing?

Hey there--

why don't you cut gluten out for a long time (like a month) and see how ya feel? Especially if you say you feel better without it-- why don't you go without it (and try to be really clean about it-- don't eat anything unless you are SURE it's gluten free)-- and then after a month try to eat some bread-- and notice your symptoms. That's the best diagnosis of all, and it's free! and simple!

sorry, to answer your question, it certainly sounds like you do.

      I don't think the eggs were to blame; yesterday was the first time she had made gluten-free bread using Xanthan gum as a thickener, and while this is generally assumed to be OK (and most gluten-free recipes call for it}, I read that Xanthan gum intolerance, or sensitivity, primarily manifests as gastrointestinal discomfort. The most common symptoms are related to digestion. Individuals may experience bloating and gas due to the fermentation of xanthan gum by gut bacteria.    Bingo.  Since this was the only different ingredient she had used, I think we have found the trigger.   Now to look for an alternative.   Maybe this will...

      Hello Everyone, I was diagnosed with Celiac disease over 15 years ago by the gold standard of endoscopy.  Over the years, I've had a couple of accidental ingestion of gluten.  The last 2 accidents, I stared to develop symptoms of an allergic response IN ADDITION to the typical GI symptoms experienced with gluten exposure.  A couple weeks ago, I ate some pasta that I thought was 100% chickpea, but instead it was a wheat/chickpea blend.  I actually had an anaphylaxis reaction and needed medical attention.  I now have an Epi-pen.  Has anyone else developed an allergy in addition to Celiac? How common is this?  Thanks in advance for your stories and support.   Stephanie

      @rjane, yes, it often feels overwhelming in the beginning. But let me encourage you by saying that it will get easier. You and your husband will develop, over time, a sixth sense of how gluten is typically hidden in the food supply and where it is found and you will develop an inventory of foods that you can trust and to stock your pantry with. The largest risk involves eating out at restaurants. Even if you order things that are naturally gluten free, you have no control over cross contamination happening back in the kitchen in how things are prepared and handled. Another trap is eating at other people's homes who are trying to accommodate your husband's need to eat gluten free but...
