I read it as saying you have double DQ1 genes like me and many others. Many doctors feel double DQ1 is not celiac, but gluten intolerance. In truth, double DQ1 genes mean, double trouble.

I am soy intolerant too. Some people who can't eat soy, can still have soy lecithin, some can't. Some say the protein in soy that makes us ill is not in lecithin or in soy oil. Lecithin does not bother me, but I can't handle soy oil.

To add to what Deb has said (which I agree with), you would do best to stay on your gluten-free diet. You are feeling better. Yeah!! :)

If it were me, I would avoid as much Soy as possible by sticking with whole foods and avoiding processed foods.

I personally do not believe we are meant to eat dairy. And it causes me to choke on my own mucus. You can eliminate it for a few months and then reintroduce to see if you react to it.

You could have Candida overgrowth in your intestines.

A good pro-biotic can help as can avoiding sugar and sweet foods for awhile. If you google "Candida" you can learn A LOT.

Thanks Darlindeb and Shay!! That was very helpful. Shay- I am actually treating myself for candida too. I have been sugar free for a month now and I have been taking lots of probiotics, antifungals, etc. It is so frustrating that I can not have the foods I was eating before. I was eating out all the time-- no more outback blooming onion. :(

darlindeb,

I was wondering if you could tell me what kind of symptoms you have had with the soy? For some reason I have always avoided soy milk- not sure why- just did not like the way it made me feel I guess. As for the processed foods I would eat them all the time and I am not sure I ever noticed anything, but I was not exactly looking for something either. I have also had anesthesia with propoful drips which contains soybean oil and was fine during the procedure. I guess I am just wondering if this kind of allergy can get more severe in time? I have read things about anaphylaxis shock but I think that is also very rare with soy.

Thanks.

PS-- Does anyone know if you get the gluten levels under control and most of the damage that has been done to your body as well as avoid soy and whatever other allergies for awhile, will the body eventually accept soy again? I know gluten is a definite no no,but what about the allergens. Is it possible that maybe people with gluten intolerance are too busy trying to get rid of the gluten that they can no longer digest soy, milk, etc.?

Glutens used to give me diarrhea, severe diarrhea. Soy, corn, and rice cause me to be constipated, just as severely as gluten caused diarrhea. Otherwise, they all cause skin rashes, joint problems, neurological problems...an overall feeling of fatigue.

Some people can eventually go back to grains, other than glutens. I haven't been able too. I have been soy free for 5 yrs, corn free 4 1/2 yrs, and all other grains free for 5 months. I do not see me going back to grains, ever!

By the way, some soy free people can have soy oil and lecithin. They say the bad protein is heated out of the oil, I can't have oil. I can tolerate small amounts of soy lecithin.

They tell us that once we have gluten out of our systems, then the other intolerance's are easier to notice. Gluten takes over our lives, once it's gone, other intolerance's says, "My turn, my turn!"

It's true that many celiac's have to give up dairy in the beginning, and eventually can go back. Yet, that isn't true of everyone either, some people will be lactose intolerant forever too. I never had to give up dairy. I read Dr. D'Adamo's book, "Eat Right For Your Blood Type" and that's when I found I was soy intolerant. He says blood type A's should not have dairy, so I started using soy milk (8th Continent), soy flour, and tofu. That's when I found I was soy intolerant too. So this blood type A went back to dairy and gave his book away.

Nothing is written in ink, some things can be erased from our lives, some can't. You may be able to go back to soy one day, and if you do, your body will let you know if it accepts it or not!

Thanks Darlindeb! I don't know what you are eating. Corn, soy, rice & gluten are in everything! :(

I have been reading a lot on this forum the past few days and it is so depressing. It seems people start out finding they have a gluten intolerance/celiac and then they find out they have so many more allergies... It is such a process to find out all this stuff. I guess it is best to rotates foods to try and prevent allergies from happening. I purchased a book on rotating foods, but am still waiting for it to come in the mail.

Oh Wow, Deb, I am so happy to hear you say you are not going back to grains. You must be feeling a lot better.

I am also a double DQ1 no grains (mostly) person!!! & yes, I think it makes you have more energy & just be all around healthier.

Smiles, you have a DQ1-0501. You might want to search the topics on here about that gene. & you can also google it. It is part of a DQ2 gene. My sister has that gene & had positive blood work, positive Enterolab, she also has another DQ1 gene. My whole sick family is almost all double DQ1. I also have a friend that has DQ1-0501 & she had a positive biobsy, positive Enterolab & has early onset osteoporosis (pre gluten dx) & another DQ1 gene.

know that this information is recent & that there is a lot that the medical people have not discovered yet. Thank goodness there is word of mouth from us that are double DQ1 to warn people to stay away from gluten. Very old hat to think that you just have to have a DQ2 or a DQ8. You can be free of those genes & still have major complications & a pitiful life with an early death from some complication...

You will need to be very serious about staying gluten free.

Yes, one can have half genes and other genes

DR13 =DQ6=DQ1

Open Original Shared Link

Why do they not say DQ1?

Dr. Hadjivassiliou has reported that 20% oof his gluten ataxia patietns are DQ1, but he has been attacked by other celiac experts. maybe they do not want to admit he is rifht, and they just avoid calling DQ1 for DQ1 by writing DR13....

About 0501, I have this one: Open Original Shared Link but they found no DQ6 in this sample of over 1000 patients, but some DQ5 which is DQA1 *01 and DQB1*05.

But, I have seen DQ6 officially diagnosed celiac other places too.

Here are some DQB1 *06 : Open Original Shared Link and I have even seen others in other countries in pubmed.

Thanks GFPapeerdoll! I can see I have a lot of learning and research to do. This is all starting to make sense with everything I have been going through my entire life. I have never been coordinated (can't dance for anything- like Elaine on Seinfeld) and have little proprioception and believe it is probably related. I thought I was just spastic. Anyway, I came across another one of your posts recommending the book "celiac disease: a hidden epidemic" and I just purchased it. If anyone else has any good books I would love to hear about them.

I also like the book "Dangerous Grains". "Good Calories Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes is a must read for everyone, not particularly a gluten-free book, but it shows you that grains are not good for anyone, & how the "studies" in the U S have been skewed because of economic & political issues, not to mention peer pressure. It is difficult to be a doctor & "go against the grain", pun intended!! :)

I also like the book "Eat Right for Your Blood Type" for us DQ1 ers, because it will help you sleuth out any other food intolerances. I would be surprised if any one of us (double DQ1 people) do not have other food issues. I took that book & crossed off everything that I knew that I could not eat - & then considered what was left. I got some very good results with just altering my diet a tiny amount... Of course I just crossed out any reference to grains & dairy - I cannot really remember if that book recommends dairy or grains...

for a refresher in nutrition there is a great book called "Super Foods", there again I just disregarded the info on grains & dairy...

I read a bunch of books, took what fit me from each one & ended up with a healthy satisfying diet.

Thanks so much Gfpaperdoll. I actually went to Barnes and Noble this morning and purchased "Dangerous Grains" and started to read some of it- good book. "Good Calories Bad Calories" sounds like a very interesting book. I will definitely have to get that one and check out the others.

Wow- I guess you are avoiding all grains such as corn and rice? This is all so frustrating, but it is comforting to know you have had successful results by eliminating your allergens. :) I am planning to get a food allergy test soon as believe I probably have many others too.

I too had to ditch the grains. Just not working for me after I went gluten-free. The only grain I eat now is maybe twice a month I have a few Tlb of amaranth flour to make a roux for a cream sauce me and my daughter like with clams. That is it!!

At first I thought cutting out grains would be hard and I would feel deprived. But that didnt happen. I just felt BETTER. :)

Even before going gluten-free, I noticed that grains made my blood sugar spike. Not good.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved.

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
