Hello Eveyone,

I am a bit new to this but here it goes. :)

I have Hashimotos (which is a thyroid condition) already and now have been diagnosed with Gluten Intolerance. From what I have been told this pretty much goes hand in hand

I have not been feeling that well, and was wondering if any of you have felt this way.

As soon as I eat my stomach starts to gurgle and then I pretty much have to go to the bathroom right away. After I go to the bathroom I feel pretty ill, my stomach gets bloated and I can't really go anywhere just in case I have to go to the bathroom right away. Most of the time I feel sick the rest of the day.

Is this the way you feel after eating gluten? Or could it be that I am allergic to MSG as well?

Any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

:unsure:

I could be gluten, or it could be intestinal problems, or something else. I take special enzymes and manuka honey and mastic gum and it's made a world of difference.

Welcome to the group!

I also have Hashimoto's and gluten intolerance. After a couple of months on the gluten-free diet I figured out that I'm also intolerant to corn (and possibly dairy... I'm going to give that another try after I'm done breastfeeding my casein-intolerant son). I had problems with constipation, gas, and bloating for YEARS. It made me look like I was about four months pregnant <_< Sometimes I had bouts of diarrhea (depending on what time of the month), but mostly constipation.

The best way to heal is to eat a really natural diet... meat, vegetables, a little fruit, nuts, avocados, etc... gluten-free "goodies" (cookies, doughnuts, brownies) can help you make the transition, but even the non-gluten grains are difficult for a lot of people to digest. MSG (and other chemicals like nitrates, aspartame, high fructose corn syrup, etc...) are basically poisons disguised as food :ph34r:

I often didn't even make it the end of my meal before I had to go. Did they do a celiac panel on you or a biopsy? What were the results if they did?

It can take a while to get the hang of the gluten free lifestyle and all that goes with it. How long have you been gluten free?

I was diagnosed about a year ago through saliva and blood testing.

I think I am starting to figure this out. I believe its the combo of the MSG and the Gluten that is just killing me. I also feel bloated did you feel bloated when you were eating gluten?

:)

Sorry this won't be much help <_<

I make up a lot of my own recipes. My husband is from the Ivory Coast (West Africa) and he taught me how to make a basic "sauce" a long time ago. I also make stir-fried vegetables, soup, omelets, roasted meat and potatoes (delicious with sweet potatoes), coconut milk smoothies... I've picked up a lot of basic techniques over the last ten years! Baking is a different story... I haven't done much lately. A lot of the gluten-free recipes use dairy and/or corn, so they haven't been much use to me.

Salad dressings are a problem for me because of the dairy and corn derivatives. If I want dressing this summer I'll make a simple vinaigrette on my own. :P

My Hashimoto's symptoms are definitely better on the gluten-free diet, especially since I've become really, really strict about processed foods and cross-contamination. I'm not constipated, my skin is not so dry, I'm definitely not depressed (which is GREAT)... but I'm still having some problems with low blood pressure and irregular periods. It's tricky to sort things out when you have more than one autoimmune disorder. The important thing is that I seem to be going in the right direction :)

You did help. I love stir-fry :lol:

My problem is also the MSG is killing me cause everything I eat goes through me. Is that the gluten intolerance or its probably MSG. I have a lot of research to do. I have to go very strict diet as well.

Thanks for your help

So it's not normal! I often feel like food is "passing straight through me" as soon as I'm done eating, and get stomach upset and cramps. If I don't get diharrea, I feel like I'm going to, and it often takes a good dose of ginger (my best friend) to make me feel better. It's not always after i've eaten gluten, but food with too much garlic or onions, possible msg or preservatives, and god knows what else does a real number on me. These problems have been increasing (or becoming more apparent) over the past few years and I'm seriously doubting my negative blood test.

the best thing for me currently is to avoid msg and chemical preservatives, raw garlic and onions, and anything too spicy, as they seem to cause more problems than simply eating gluten. what do you think?

      Is this celiac?

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Usually when I digest gluten or wheat I have a 4 hour window before reacting.  If it is immediate it may be an intollerence to another food.  Dairy, Frutose, and bacteria (SIBO) will react with many of the celiac disease symtoms.Has your Doctor ran a  Fructose test which is measuring your Fruit Sugar?  A Hydrogen Beath Test which checks your intestinal bacteria and Dairy?After my biopsy and blood work, these (3) tests were also ran, along with allergy tests, which allery test was sent out of State.  It was a mouth swab. How fast you heal depends on the diet you are following… The following are my personal recommendations to healing. I talk to many newly diagnosed people who start the gluten-free diet with pasta, breads, snacks, and pizza. After a month or so, they do not know why they don’t feel any better and still are sick with their original symptoms: They worry the diet is not working for them. For some there may be other factors involved, but most just aren’t letting their body heal properly. I blame the internet, and misinformation it contains. People want a quick fix, not realizing this is a life long disease. They need a good support group, with people who have been through this and knows what works!  This is what I have found will work for you.                                                                                            First 6 weeks should be:                                                                                                                                 lean meat (beef, pork, chicken, turkey, salmon, sardines, buffalo, deer)                                                   fresh vegetables (steamed or roasted with a little Olive Oil) with 2 cups per day being raw (5 servings; a serving is 1/2 cup)                                                                                                                                      fresh fruit (3 servings; include strawberries, blackberries and blueberries daily)  Makes good shakes with Almond milk.                                                                                                                                        A hand full of almonds daily (pecans and walnuts can be substituted)                                                        brown rice, lentils, Citrucel daily (or the equivalent) Good source of fiber. I use Calm because my body doesn’t absorb Magnesium and I only need to take once in evening.                                                    No dairy of any kind (milk, cheese, yogurt, No breads, No past,  No oats, No pizza, No gluten-free beer, No snacks like cake, biscuits, pies, donuts.                                                                                                Many dietitians will tell you to follow a gluten free diet but you have to heal first. Don’t misunderstand me, dietitians are our friends and help us.                                                                                              10% of people with gluten-free will be intolerant to dairy                                                                                  10% can not tolerate oats                                                                                                                     After the six weeks, you can start to add these foods back into your diet. 1 new food every 4 days; this way you know if you react to this food.                                                                                                  Oats shouldn’t be tried for 1 year after being diagnosed; then start with 1/3 of a cup. Only gluten-free Oats are acceptable.                                                                                                                                              You should have results within 3 days of following a correct healing diet. Bloating should be leaving, migraines should be gone. Might take bowels a little longer to respond. If you start with 5 times a day on the Citrucel and cut back as your bowels return to normal; then use 1 Tbsp. daily. This works if you have constipation or diarrhea.                                                                                                        Meanwhile make sure you have had a Dexa test (bone density) and a blood test to check your vitamin and mineral levels: Zinc, D,K,B,C and iron levels.                                                                                  Don't take supplements while healing as your body is not accepting them and they will flush through your body.                                                                                                                                              Have you had a breath test for Dairy, Fructose, and bacteria overgrowth?

Should have done when first diagnosed. Remember to have a tTg IgA blood test repeated at 6 months then every year after, with another scope done in 3 years. Only way to know if you are healed. I don’t have all the answers; we are learning everyday new ways of doing things, but this is a start! Remember to have a tTg IgA EMA blood test repeated at 6 months then every year after

      Is this celiac?

      Marsh 3b is the Gold Standard of diagnosis for Celiac Disease.  Until recently, regardless of antibody tests, positive or negative, you had to have Marsh 3 damage to be awarded the diagnosis of Celiac. As I understand you,  you were having constant symptoms..  Your symptoms improved on GFD, with occassional flare ups. Did your doctor say you do and you are questioning the diagnosis? Regarding your increasing severity when you get glutened it is "normal".  Gluten acts on the Opiod receptors to numb your body.  Some report withdrawal symptoms on GFD.  I was an alcoholic for 30 years, about 1/2 pint of voda a day. Each time I identified a trigger and dealt with it, a new trigger would pop up.  Even a 30 day rehab stint, with a low fat diet (severe pancreatis) during which I rarely had cravings.  Stopped at a Wendys on the way home and the next day I was drinking again.  20 years later, sick as a dog, bedridden on Thanksgiving, after months of reasearch, I realized that gluten free was my Hail Mary.  Back in 1976 my son was diagnosed at weaning by biopsy with Celiac Disease and his doctor suggested my wife and I should also be gluten free because it is genetic.  At 25 years old I felt no gastro problems and promised if I ever did I would try gluten free.  Well, I forgot that promise until I was 63 and my wife 10 years dead.  Three days of gluten and alcohol free, I could no longer tolerate alcohol. Eleven years gluten and alcohol free, with no regrets. Improvement was quick, but always two steps forward and one back.  Over time I found nineteen symptoms that I had been living with for my entire life, that doctors had said, "We don't know why, but that is normal for some people". Celiac Disease causes multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  It is an autoimmune disease, meaning your immune system B and T cells create antibodies against ttg(2) in the small intestine in Celiac Disease, and sometimes ttg(3) in skin in Dermatitis Herpetiformus.  'Why' is poorly understood.  In fact, it wasn't even known that wheat, barley and rye gluten was the cause.  Celiac Disease was also called Infantilism, because it was deadly, and believed to only be a childhood disease. So, as part of your recovery you must deal with those deficiencies.  Especially vitamin D because it contols your immune system.  Virtually all newly diagnosed Celiacs have vitamin D deficiency.  There are about 30 vitamin and minerals that are absorbed in the small intestine.  With Marsh 3 damage you may be eating the amount everyone else does, but you are not absorbing them into your system, so you will display symptoms of their deficiency.   As time passes and you replenish your deficiencies you may notice other symptoms improve, some you did not even know were symptoms. Our western diet has many deficiencies built into it.   That is the reason foods with gluten are fortified.  Gluten free processed food are not required to fortify.  Vitamin D, Iodine, choline.  The B vitamins, especially Thiamine (B1) run deficient quickly.  We only store enough thiamine for 2 weeks so the symptoms of Gastrointestinal BeriBeri can come and go quickly.  Magnesium, zinc, etc. each having its own symptoms affecting multiple systems.  High homocystene, an indicator of vascular inflamation can be cause by deficient Choline, folate, B6 and or B12.  Brain fog symptoms by deficient choline, iodine, thiamine B1. Dietary intake of choline and phosphatidylcholine and risk of type 2 diabetes in men: The Kuopio Ischaemic Heart Disease Risk Factor Study

      I cut out the rice because it was affecting my stomach at the time ... not necessarily dermatitis herpetiformis. It was Tilda Basmati Rice, sometimes wholegrain rice. I was willing to do whatever it took to heal. Too much fiber also disagrees with me as I have UC.

      But you didn't answer my question. When you consume gluten, is there an identifiable reaction within a short period of time, say a few hours?

      You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not very 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/
