Celiac Disease

Hi!

I was diagnosed with celiacs aprox 5 years ago and have not been very very good at maintaing the diet. I have been noticing over the last year that my memory seems to becoming worse( I am oly 35) the last few days my eye sight has been blurry, which I notice at least once a month among all the other usual syptoms. This disease has been slowly ruing my life.

I have been trying to do research and every time I think I have a good idea of where to start, something new pops up.

I have purchased alot of the Amys foods that are gluten free, but I have noticied she makes foods that are also NOT gluten-free and I am wondering about the cross contamintaion. Also, I never even thought about change cookware, as I have a roommate and I am a single mom and in no position to buy new right now.

Is there any type of guide, website, book, etc out there to help?? Any advice anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thank you!!!!

I think that "Eating Gluten Free for Dummies" by Dana Korn is one of the best. I am in a money crunch too so I asked my library to borrow it for me. Free and I took notes on the important stuff.

Hmm.. I personally don't trust Amy's. I ate a few of her "gluten free" things and didn't feel they were entirely gluten free, myself. I've had reactions to a lot of stuff from that company. Im also intolerant to chickpeas though, so it could be that too, I dunno.

What I do is just cook everything from scratch. It's fun, and YOU get to be in control of what goes in your body. :) I love cooking and think my food is way better than anything I could buy pre-made or even in restaurants, so it's great!

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
