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?

Hi,

I was wondering if you could tell me where you can buy the Manuka Honey and the Mastic Gum.

Thanks, :)

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?

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
