Hello and welcome.

You sure are right about Asperger's not making you dumb. :D Most are smarter than most of the people around them.

You are very smart to have done enough research to know that gluten is possibly a cause for the problems you have with concentration and your stomach pain and gas. The concentration issue we usally call 'brain fog' and it describes it very well.

As far as the weight issue goes, for some of us we gain weight when we are sick. For those usually the extra can be more easily dropped after they are gluten free. For others we tend to be thin, some very. Once your body is getting the nutrients it needs it will be able to gain if that is what is needed. Many of us also who get celiac when young have our growth effected. You may gain a lot in height quicker than you ever have. That will make you seem really thin if you are on the small side or could even out your weight if you are heavy. It is going to take some time to get your body in balance. Be patient and make sure you are getting enough good foods, veggies, fruits, meats, rice, potatoes and go easy on the special gluten free stuff at first.

Hopefully your family is supporting you in this. You have found a great place for support and info and there is also a thread for teens so do check it out. Ask any question you need to and if you get a bit angry and sad at first that is normal and you can post about that also.

I would suggest going with clear soda's, water and for sure gluten-free juices. If you are early on in the diet your system may just not like the ingredients in the soda itself. It is rather caustic. I do tend to have issues with caramel coloring, they seem gluten related but many will say they are gluten-free even if the caramel is derived from barley or another gluten grain. Caramel coloring is often made from a heated starch and you simply may not tolerate it. Do you get the same ill feelings from clear soda's? You might want to drop the cola's for a bit and then when you are feeling good do a challenge. Drink it at least 3 times a day for a week when not consuming anything else risky and watch for any ill effects. This can be done with any food item we question.

      Another conversation with ChatGPT about hookworms

      I suppose it's all in how you ask the question. I just asked ChatGPT how much it would cost to resolve my gut issues the way hookworms have, and ChatGPT's response was "$15,000–$30,000/year for the most plausible UC biologic/small-molecule route, or $10,000–$40,000+/year for omalizumab-style allergy modulation". That assumes such medication actually wor...

      Another conversation with ChatGPT about hookworms

      My question to ChatGPT: Is purposeful Hookworm infection a reasonable treatment for those who have many food intolerance issues, including those with gluten intolerance who want to eat gluten?

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      It sounds like you have an allergy or separate intolerance to quinoa, but there is the slight possibility it was somehow cross-contaminated with wheat, even though it was certified gluten-free.

      1 Year Elimination Diet journey

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      It has been a year since I started my Elimination diet from gluten. I have learned alot w/o being diagnosed (going through eating gluten for a test isn't happening) The first month or so were learning curve and I have learned to READ LABELS which are tricky as not just gluten but possibly wheat may affect you or other Gluten containing ingredients that are spelled out. I have found great protein bars w/o sugar alcohols as I noticed those increased gas. I have taken vitamins as suggested by members on this board. Started baking gluten free, when going out I have found gluten friendly restaurants. I have felt so much better since eliminating gluten/sugar alcohols. It is hard to find sugar free products but I limit myself to gluten free snacks as they have high sugar etc. I have been using Bobs Red Mill gluten-free oatmeal and One Degree Farmers oatmeal but I am looking to try some new breakfast ideas like Buckwheat or a great gluten-free cereal. Journey still continues and learning more and more.

Since you mentioned cats, it’s also worth asking about possible flea bites, mites, ringworm, or other pet-related skin issues, and checking with a veterinarian if your cats have itching or hair loss. Also, please tell your doctor about the topiramate change, meningioma, and the garlic, especially since you were told not to eat garlic. Even if your husband doesn’t see what you see, your symptoms are real and deserve a careful medical evaluation.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Unless gluten exposure is happening on a regular basis, it is doubtful that blood antibodies would show up elevated in testing. It takes time for them to build up to detectable levels.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      By Russ H · Posted

      HI Nancy, In your first post, you said that you were diagnosed by biopsy and blood test - this is what I was referring to: the blood test is for antibodies that are made during active disease. After a period on a strictly gluten-free diet, the antibodies return to low level. It is a good way of checking for accidental exposure if symptoms persist. If you are reacting to foods that don't contain gluten, you may be reacting to something else. Alternatively, a condition called SIBO is common in people with coeliac disease, where there is an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. This can be tested for with a simple breath test. The main treatment is with a course of antibiotic. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
