No Nightshades...

Hi.

I know I have a problem with tomatoes. Potatos make me really bloated and sometimes not feeling well.

I already cannot use Tapioca Flour and Arrowroot so my only two starches left are Corn and Potato Starch. Do you think it is bad if I keep using both of these? Main concern is the Potato Starch.

My husband and I are trying to be Nightshade Free for different reasons but I was cooking the other day and added Corn and Potato Starch to the rolls I was making then was oh no .... Potato Starch.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

What do you do??

OH.... Then the shredded cheese we got last night I saw in the ingredients Potato Flour (or starch can't remember) Don't know what to do. I seem to only really show a reaction to eating Potatos maybe the Starch is okay or just not really as obvious?

Thanks :)

Lots of stuff in this thread from '05: https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/lofivers...php/t10154.html

Sorry I have no further insight; mercifully, this isn't one of the problems I have.

Thank you very much! I saved it to look at later after dinner... :D

Gah!!! Potato starch :angry: I don't do nightshades, and just find out about two weeks ago that it was the potato starch that was causing me to itch for the last 20 months (after the psoriasis quit itching four months ago). I hadn't even thought about it.....dunno why. Sure makes life difficult when you don't do corn or soy either. Luckily I love buckwheat and sorghum, and am about to try Teff though we don't get it down under. Of course we don't get sorghum yet, either, but they're working on it. I take it back with me (on international you still get a decent weight allowance). But anyway, no more potato starch for me. A big uopened bag of Pamela's baking mix, anyone??? :lol:

I am both corn and potato free, mostly. This is strange, I can eat potato chips., only one brand now though, UTZ's. A nutritionist told me the process they use for making potato chips may be removing the part of a potato that bothers me. I can't use potato flour, yet potato starch in cheese didn't seem to bother me. I can't have corn, but a little cornstarch in a product didn't bother me.

Now, I can't have dairy anymore, so, I really do not get potato starch in anything, since I can't have cheese. :(

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. Many of them are found close together on the chromosomes.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point).  So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another possible explanation for some of the issues that I'm dealing with.

      I would pressure the lab to do the IgA control test for free so that you won't write a poor review about their testing services. You could get this done at any time, whether or not you are gluten-free, however, the celiac disease Tissue Transglutaminase tTG-IgA test must be done after you've been eating lots of gluten for around 6 weeks. This way you could salvage the results of your tTG-IgA test, as long as you were eating lots of gluten beforehand.

      celiac, chocolate and alcohol

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Given your strong reactions it would be wise not to eat things offered to you without reading the ingredient labels. It's possible there was indeed gluten or some allergen in the chocolates--barley malt is a common ingredient in some chocolates.

      Yes, an IgG panel is the logical next step. However, you would still need to be consuming normal amounts of gluten to ensure valid IgG testing. Since it has only been a week that you have been off gluten, there is still likely time to restore antibodies to detectable levels before the blood draw. IgG antibody tests are not quite as specific for celiac disease as are the IGA tests but they are certainly valuable in the case of IGA deficiency. They also seem to have a little more "staying power" in the sense of detecting celiac disease in the case of those who may have already started a gluten-free diet as long as they haven't been on it for an extended period of time. But don't rely on that. Get back on gluten if you can possibly endure it if you intend to go forward with IgG testing. This might be helpful:
