New Member here, conveying my background and how I came to learn I have Celiac Disease. First off, THANKS, I have learned so much from this site; answers to just one bite, dealing with people who have no clue, eating out, travel, shopping and more.

For nearly a month I suffered with what I though was a bad case of the Flu; Wife and both kids were also under the weather but they recovered in short order, I however seemed to be unable to shake it.

I trudged on for a few weeks until I hauled myself to the ER, where the referred me to Infectious Diseases. While waiting for my appointment with ID, I went to my General Practitioner who was stumped.

After visiting the Infectious Diseases Doctor, I was (after a dozen blood tests, 4 CT Scans, an MRI and several trips) diagnosed with CMV ( Cytomegalovirus ) and told to ride it out.

Well another few weeks and I am back at the ER, dehydrated and feeling like someone stuck a knife in my side. The ER holds me and after six days, more blood work, more CT scans, more MRI

Welcome to the boards. You were lucky they were able to diagnose you so quickly. Imagine if you felt like that for years. :o Read as much as you can here and ask any questions you need to. I hope you feel better quickly.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      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.
