I'm not sure i have celiac, due to negative bloodwork, but I do have tons of food allergies and sensitivities. I am currently on a very restrictive diet, eating about 22 foods. I've been feeling pretty darn good, with only occasional slight symptoms, and generally I can find a cause.

Well, the other day I made pasta for dinner for the family - actually, pasta salad, although the little one ate the noodles plain. I dont remember exactly what I ate, but it was probably leftover from the night before, foods i'd eaten several times that week, nothing dangerous.

After dinner, I had cramping, gas, i smelled like something had died in there! I was shocked, I hadnt felt this bad in a long time! Luckily it didnt last long. I tried and tried to figure out what I'd eaten and couldnt come up with anything.

Finally I remembered that someone told me that a celiac freind of hers didnt get too much CC from dry crumbs, but moist stuff like pasta was really a problem. I handled the family's pasta with my hands and I dont think I washed my hands before eating. So i'm thinking I cc'd myself from handling the pasta. Does this sound like CC to you guys?

Then, the next day, i felt yeasty, for the first time in 2 or 3 months. Could this have been in response to the CC?

any of this sound familiar to anyone?

Hello....

Well....me too I have many many food intolerances and allergies and lately I had the same experience with you. I ate something that was - untill then - safe, I had the same food dozens of times before, but suddenly smth went wrong and that food had to go with the non safe ones (nausea, huge belly, ekzema etc)......Really frustrating when I already had a very restricted diet. So I had the same question with you, I asked here in this forum and I was told that

1) MAYBE the reason was my damaged villy that still can't react normally (even though I am gluten-free for 3 months). There is a possibility that this is your case.

2) There is also a possibility you were glutened from pasta ....or ....

3)There are some foods that my test for intolerances says that I am "sensitive" to them, and that means that they are safe for now but I must not eat them too often nor in huge amounts cause they will turn into non safe ones. Maybe that was your case?? Just thoughts......

What really works for me is to eat many times during the day, but small amounts. So my intestine can copy with that small amount....

sorry you felt bad that day. I hope now you are feeling ok...stay away from pastaaaa!!!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
