Still Bothered By Other Things...

Hey guys, I've been gluten free for a few weeks now (aside from a few cross contaminations and a mistake or 2) and I'm having a lot of problems with dairy and sugar. If I drink soda or eat candy that is gluten free and processed away from wheat or other contaminants I get digestive symptoms as if I've eaten gluten. I can eat a little cheese on a taco or on a burger, but if there's too much I go off. What's the deal? I'm not lactose intolerant.

This leads me to my next question, which is how big of a setback in the recovery process is a glutening incident or a dairy trigger? If I'm still recovering from 4 months of not knowing about this condition, will eating a crouton set me back a day? A week? Is there any way to know?

Hello! Time frame,setback? Not sure......On the the other deal you mentioned, there is a host of other things that could be a problem,dairy, sugar, CC on and on, but what stands out to me is "corn" as in corn syrup.....Soda, candy, a lot of it is made with corn. Corn intolerance and/or allergy is a huge issue in this country. I speak from experience. I had this "other nagging issue" and just could not figure it out until I was tested for "the big 8". I would really think about getting other food

testing done. Hope this helps! Mike

P.S. Did you know that table salt with iodine has dextrose (corn) in it? I didn't.

If it is sugar or cheese that makes you have digestive issues. I would look into candida. It can cause lots of terrible digestive issues that sometimes feel similiar to an gluten reaction.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
