Yes, I know and I already apologized. I just don't think it's a good idea anymore for me to hang out there. Maybe anybody else does it. I sure don't want to be a prick and if anybody askes me for help i sure won't say no. But on my own i'm not doing anything anymore. I'll stay on this message board here, where we know each other. I'm just sick of helping anywhere else. That's all...

Hugs, Stef

No problem, but I may come bug you if people ask about Celiac ;) And I have been meaning to post this over here. It is an awesome way to help explain anything and everything about having our multiple issues.

Steph,

You have helped me. I learned about something new.

It just so happens a mother at school approached to ask me about Celiac. Her daughter has the peanut allergy at school. Her younger child at home is now going through the symptoms of Celiac or maybe E.E. I could only tell her about Celiac at the time, because I never heard of E.E. I will tell her about E.E. If the information helps her, I will let you know if I hear anything. You may have helped a child get an earlier diagnoses, for something we know the are very painfull symptoms.

Maybe things didn't go the way you hoped, but you may have helped more people than you ever imagined. You acted from your heart.

Thank you,

Laura

      Celiac Disease, Lymphocytic colitis and Bowel rupture

      By MoniqueCham · Posted

      Thanks for your reply Scott! A long time ago I realized I didn’t fit neatly into uncomplicated celiac disease. Over the years I’ve been diagnosed and treated for SIBO, pancreatic insufficiency and diagnosed with Stage 2 liver fibrosis. I think all the complications occurred because of the refractory celiac disease. When I hit menopause my gut issues seemed to calm down and because I was stable I made the mistake of not following up with my gastroenterologist. Then other autoimmune problems flared and I tried the methotrexate. It worked like a charm for my skin condition… then my sigmoid colon ruptured. Strange but my autoimmune skin condition remains in remission after 6 months off the medication. We have a very long waiting list to get back into see my GI doctor… I was an emergency referral but am still waiting 6 months after the perforation. I need more surgery to fix a fistula that has formed and to reconnect my colon… I have a colostomy at present. I became a dietitian who specializes in bowel diseases but have never met anyone who’s had so many complications with celiac disease. I have a brother and son who also have been diagnosed. My mother had 4 autoimmune diseases including a vasculitis that eventually resulted in her death and it was my father who had the HLA DQ2 gene. Think I inherited some tendencies from each of them. Thanks again for your response… it feels a little lonely dealing with GI issues when I work so hard to remain gluten free.

      Malt vinegar

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, unfortunately malt vinegar can definitely trigger a strong reaction in people with celiac disease. Malt vinegar is typically made from barley, which contains gluten, and unlike distilled white vinegar, it is not considered gluten-free. Even a small amount — especially if you’ve been strictly gluten-free for years — can cause a more intense reaction because your body is no longer accustomed to exposure. Many people report significant symptoms after accidental ingestion, including abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, or flu-like feelings. You’re not alone in that experience. It may help to be especially cautious with salad dressings, chips, sauces, and restaurant foods, where malt vinegar is sometimes used.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      A diagnosis of Refractory Celiac Disease Type 2 is a lot to absorb, especially if you feel like the severity wasn’t clearly communicated earlier. It’s understandable to feel shocked and frustrated. RCD Type 2 does require close specialist care, often with a gastroenterologist who has experience managing complex celiac cases, and sometimes coordination with hematology because of the immune cell changes involved. Focusing on nutrition is absolutely important — many people benefit from working with a registered dietitian who specializes in celiac disease to help address malabsorption, weight loss, and vitamin or mineral deficiencies. You’re doing the right thing by seeking information and support. Make sure you feel comfortable asking your care team direct questions about your biopsy results, treatment plan, and monitoring strategy — you deserve clarity and a coordinated approach.

      Celiac Disease, Lymphocytic colitis and Bowel rupture

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m so sorry you’ve been through all of that — that’s an incredibly complex history. While methotrexate is widely used at low weekly doses for autoimmune conditions, it can, in rare cases, cause serious gastrointestinal side effects, including ulceration, mucosal injury, or even perforation. That said, a spontaneous sigmoid rupture from methotrexate at 15 mg weekly is extremely uncommon. In people with celiac disease — especially refractory celiac — there can already be underlying intestinal inflammation or altered mucosal integrity, which might theoretically increase vulnerability, but there isn’t strong published evidence clearly linking stable celiac disease to a markedly higher risk of methotrexate-related bowel perforation. Other factors such as concurrent inflammation, vascular compromise, infection, steroid use, or microscopic colitis may also contribute. It would be reasonable to review the case with a gastroenterologist familiar with refractory celiac and possibly a rheumatologist, and to report the event as a potential adverse drug reaction. I’d also be very interested to hear if others in the community have had similar experiences.
