My Daughter Has It - Do I?

Hey everyone! My daughter is 2 and has Celiac. She has the HLA-DQ2 gene for it as well. I've never been tested but lately, b/c of her I've been eating a lot less gluten. gluten-free pasta, lasanga, corn tortilla's, cereals, etc.

Recently (Ok, don't laugh) we went to a concert and I had 4-5 "White" beers (the unfiltered wheat kind). My system has been off since that night!! Yes, it's a lot of beer, LOL, I realize that, but I don't mean a hangover. I mean I've had diarrhea EVER since! The first night it was HORRID, then after that it's just been every day and my stomach hurts a little.

Is it possible that I have Celiac as well but I never realized it and now that I've cut out gluten drinking so much of it really effected me? I really should get tested....I'm also 5'9" tall and only 115lbs or so. I just have never gotten tested b/c I don't have symptoms, but now I'm wondering if I do.

PS - I normally DON'T drink that much, LOL - it was a special occasion!

Very possibly. I mean, she had to get it from one parent's side or the other, it is genetic.

My adult son was diagnosed about 11 years ago -- I'd never heard of it, and at the time none of the doctors said anything to us about testing parents or siblings. Eventually, after 10 years of asking my personal physician to test me for it, with all my ongoing gut and touchy bowel problems, weird rashes (which I now know to be dermatitis herpetiformis), migraines, etc, he finally ordered the test. And, yup, I belong to the club as well. Irks me to no end that I've probably had it at least all my adult life, and that it took them 10 years to test even when I was asking!

Didn't mean to go on! My point is definitely get tested. If you have it, the sooner you know the better, in terms of healing.

Please see the following topic in the Dermatitis Herpetiformis forum:

https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=57093

My husband had NO IDEA that he had a gluten problem until he went gluten free with the rest of the family and then drank beer during the Superbowl weekend! Poor guy! He's still paying for it....

I'm betting you are the one that your daughter inherited the problem from.

Good luck!

its really not that bad --- my brotherinlaw was beer-free for over a year when redbridge was released. he thought it was nectar of the gods...

however, it definitely WON'T help symptoms of consuming one-too-many...

A lot of us found out we were celiacs by going gluten free thanks to the atkins diet and then could not return to the normal American diet. For me it was my 2008 New Years resolution to lose 30lbs. I did really well. Then gave up in July, was sick for six months before going to the dr. Three dr's latter, I'm a celiac, my mom's a celiac, my son is a celiac. Whoooo hooo! Atkins for life plus Fruity Pebbles :P

Welcome aboard, you're one of us!

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease.

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it? I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant react...

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      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.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
