Significant Other Wants To Say Something

Ok, i'm not doing well, no one has responded to my request.

So, here's my story should anyone care to listen and maybe help...;

I live with the Dr. Laura of gluten, fibro, ( I would like to say " sily" celiac, but won't) celiac disorders.

I was doing quite well until she discovered she has fibro, celiac, (possibly) and no tolerance to gluten.

Now, my world has been turned upside down. Now, I can't eat this and I can't eat that. I thought I was doing quite well at 59 years of age. Don't let me get an upset tummy or a headache after eating my bowl of cereal with "Milk"!! .. by the way the cereal was loaded with wheat. and the ham sandwich on bread. What's a guy to do? Jimmie

So I'm guessing you arent allergic to gluten and she thinks because she cant eat it, you shouldn't either?? That seems a little drastic but you should be understanding of her condition. I am allergic as well and my BF is very supportive about it, I do not require him to quit eating it but its nice sometimes when he's eating something with gluten, i'll say oh that looks so good and he'll say oh no its actually pretty horrible you wouldnt like it haha. But it is very nice he checks ingreidients and brings me treats home. You should have a good talk with her, you shouldn't be punished for her condition, I wouldnt expect everyone to quit eating gluten just because I can't.

good luck

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
