Those Of You Who Have Self Diagnosed As Gluten Intolerance......maybe?

I'am one who had recently self diagnosed myself as gluten intolerance. You also may be familier with my user name around forums in the past. Though most recently I have re-introduced gluten back into my diet, as I've notice while on a gluten and yeast free diet, when removing yeast that's when the largest improvements were taking way. I have now concluded that I'am highly sensitive to mold, and likely too much mold within my environment ( house etc...), while I'am now on a mold free diet, I'am no longer on a gluten free diet. Those of you who have self diagnosed yourself as gluten intolerance, and other allergies, you could also likely be experiencing a harmful environment of mold, and/ or highly sensitive to mold as myself. Perhaps trying a mold free diet may help identify.

Since I did at a time self diagnosed myself as gluten intolerance, now eating gluten, in the near future I question as if there may be plans if I should get a appropriate celiac test done.

I thought I would let others know that mold could be a underlying cause of symptoms you've experience.

My visits on this forum ( as it already have) is likely to be rare ( unless I find out months later I'am celiac). Though with the start of this thread, I will come constantly to check for replies, until I notice this thread has drifted.

Also to note, I still buy many gluten free products ( due to being on a mold free diet), especially those that do not contain yeast ( such as some of their breads).

I do have a problem with mold, always have. I was a self diagnosed celiac, and now have been diagnosed as gluten intolerant. I know mold is a problem for me, but I also know gluten will never be a part of my life again.

If you feel good eating gluten, then maybe you are ok with it. If you aren't feeling alot better, then maybe you should have a test done for celiac disease, but remember, you can be gluten intolerant and not have celiac...celiac is just one part of the gluten intolerance spectrum.

I have a mold allergy in addition to being doctor-diagnosed with celiac disease. I never even realized the yeast-mold relation. Thanks for sharing and all the best to you :)

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
