life is pain

life is pain Newbie

hello there...first post!

i've been having severe stomache pains for over a year and i just recently started to keep track of my diet. at first i thought it was dairy so i nixed the cream cheese on my bagels...then i thought it was coffee so i nixed caffiene from my diet...then my doctor suggested trying gluten free for a while. i did it for a week and my stomache aches seemed to be less frequent. i also noticed pickles and olives give me a bit of a stomache issue as well.

i recently had blood taken and the tests were for my glucose levels and my thyroid... do either of those aide in testing for celiac or gluten intolerance?

my doctor mentioned testing me for celiac but i'm not very organized when it comes to making appointments so i haven't gotten back to her on that issue.

my blood test came back normal, but i can't seem to figure out what is wrong with me. i have about 80% of the symptoms of celiac...! please help!

Welcome.

No, glucose tests and thyroid test will not dx Celiac in anyway. You can have blood sugar problems and thyroid problems AND be Celiac. But the only way to get dx Celiac is to get a Celiac Blood test performed first. Then a biopsy if necessary.

You should make that appt. and get tested.

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
