Safe might not be the right word.

I'm quitting now after smoking ~26 of the last 27 yrs.

Hi,

this is probably the item you are referring to.

Open Original Shared Link.

.

I make reference to this article in My Web Space as the trigger for my Celiac.

.

I nor this article advocates that anyone should smoke to avoid Celiac,

Cigarettes are full of additives and reading the list makes the mind 'boggle' !!

.

I know some of them off hand!

.

Nail Varnish Remover,

Rat Poison,

Rocket Fuel,

.

Read the whole list for yourself, then decide is this what you want to put into your body.

.

I know it can be had to quit! they say 'Nicotine is more addictive than Heroine'.

Yeah Safe was the wrong word to use LOL. I quit in 2004 and have taken a few drags here and there in the past couple of weeks. My stress level was through the roof and I grabbed someones cig and took a drag now I seem to be doing it a little more. I have more medically wrong with me. I go in for surgery next month my 3rd laporoscpy. My sister told me if thats the worst I do then she doesn't blame me.

I smoked for over 20 years before I was diagnoised, so I do not believe smoking protects you against celiac :ph34r:

I quit smoking 4 years ago in order to get "healthy" ... strangely enough it is about the same time that I think the celiac disease really kicked in (although was neither tested nor diagnosed until 1 year ago). Coincidence???? Not sure.

Needing to blame something, anything for the celiac disease, I chose to blame having quit smoking.

Well if smoking helps with stress, and stress can trigger celiac...

It seems so many of the things we do can sometimes be self-medicating...

I smoke the odd cigarette sometimes. Some days none. Somedays 1. Somedays 2. Rarely more than that. Been doing that for awhile. I"ll quit for months at a time if I'm going into some health kick or whatever.. but for whatever reason I have found them beneficial to me at times. Eventually I'd like to be in a place where I don't feel the need for them. I usually will roll my own with organic tobacco...

I think smoking is a scapegoat for all the health problems from bad diets/lifestyles in America. If you actually research it a bit you'd find that the problems America blames on smoking don't really exist in other countries like Greece for example...where the diet is different.

So yeah. Lets not ever exercise. Lets spend our time on freeways smoking car-exhaust for 2 hours a day. Lets sit in front of EMF computers under EMF floro lights all day. Throw on a very unhealth diet on top of that. Not to mention how people are spending less time with their families...the social stress of that...

and then lets blame it all on smoking!! The internet is what is exposing this fallacy now. There is some talk that since the 1930's tobacco companies started using artificial fertilizer on their tobacco...just like other farmers did on their crops. Problem is we smoke the tobacco crops. The native americans supposedly never had issues with tobacco until they started smoking commercial tobacco.

That may or may not matter...but thats why I smoke organic if i do...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
