Nuts, Nuts, Nuts!

I've been improving so very much this past month that I have finally found another problem. I have kept my food journal pretty regularly during healing, but could never figure out what was causing my occasional bloat -- each time I was certain I hadn't been glutened and nothing stood out as the cause.

So the other day I was busy (God it is great to be busy again) and didn't eat regular meals so I munched a few more cashews and some nut cluster snack thingys than on a normal day and added nutella to my ice cream that night. The next day I had found what was causing the problem over the past months. I am not allergic to nuts, but I definitely am not able to digest them while still healing.

Glad I found it without removing more items from my diet!

Why do you think you can't digest them?

If there are pieces of nuts in your stool, it's not a digestion problem but a chewing problem. Same way with whole kernel corn. If there are whole kernels in stool it just mean they were not chewed properly. Many people if they see pieces of food they aren't digesting them. Our bodies do not break down such larges pieces.

I have been gluten free for nearly 2 weeks and for the first week I was eating lots of cashew nuts because I felt I needed the energy as I have lost so much weight recently, anyway my point is that too many cashews can give you very soft oily orange stools and by oily I mean free oil. I was horrified and very worried until I googled it and found out that this can happen when you over indulge in nuts!

      False tTG3 Test?

      Thanks! I don't think it was a total IGA test, it was called "Array 3X - Wheat/Gluten Proteome Reactivity & Autoimmunity" and it tested a bunch of wheat proteins and transglutaminase for both IgG and IGAs.

      False tTG3 Test?

      Welcome to the forum, @SB04! Let's cut to the chase. Did they run a tTG-IGA and a total IGA? Total IGA goes by many names but it checks for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, IGA test scores will be artificially low and it can result in false negatives. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease antibody testing. Dermatitis herpetiformis...

      False tTG3 Test?

      Hi all, about a year ago I had some blood tests done through a naturopath because I had constant hives and no idea why. They would go away for a few days with an antihistamine medicine but always come right back. Anyways, she did an igg test (which i now know is terribly unreliable) and it was pointing to gluten sensitivity. there was another test...

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      I know I'm late to the party, but I thought these articles are very interesting. Doctors don't recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms. Thiamine deficiency is linked to Long haulers syndrome, too. I had palpitations that only resolved with thiamine Vitamin B 1 supplementation. Association of vitamin B1 with cardiovascular diseases...

      Curious if I should quit my job

      @ohmichael, Have you tried contacting your state's Employment Services? There should be job opportunities and training programs especially for previous service members and veterans. Look into trade schools. Some offer training programs which provide scholarships and housing, and possible employment after completion. Some scholarships are funded...

      Welcome to the forum, @SB04! Let's cut to the chase. Did they run a tTG-IGA and a total IGA? Total IGA goes by many names but it checks for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, IGA test scores will be artificially low and it can result in false negatives. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease antibody testing.  Dermatitis herpetiformis is the epidermal expression of celiac disease. Most who have dermatitis herpetiformis also have damage happening to the small bowel lining as well but a small percentage do not. But dermatitis herpetiformis has a characteristic appearance to it, with the rash bumps having pustules in the center. It is also accompanied by a very uncomfortable itch. From what you describe, your rash doesn't sound like dermatitis herpetiformis. The IGG antibody tests are not quite as specific for celiac disease as are the IGA tests but they aren't terrible either. This may be helpful:

      False tTG3 Test?

      Hi all, about a year ago I had some blood tests done through a naturopath because I had constant hives and no idea why. They would go away for a few days with an antihistamine medicine but always come right back. Anyways, she did an igg test (which i now know is terribly unreliable) and it was pointing to gluten sensitivity. there was another test too, that tested for wheat iggs, igas and several other things, among which were Transglutaminases. The only one that came up as high for me was the tTG3 igg result, which shows an autoimmune response in the skin, commonly dermatitis herpetiformis in celiac patients. I was told it was gluten causing it but not celiac. Fast forward to now, I still have hives, I've been gluten free (although I have no reation to gluten when I accidentally have it), and I've been doing research to try and figure out what is wrong. I've heard that those initial igg tests are unreliable, and that maybe gluten isn't the issue, but from what I've read it sounds like the Transglutaminase tests are very reliable? I'm wondering if I somehow got a false positive, because I definitely don't have dermatitis herpetiformis or any typical celiac rashes. Has anyone had a similar experience?

      @ohmichael, Have you tried contacting your state's Employment Services?   There should be job opportunities and training programs especially for previous service members and veterans.   Look into trade schools.  Some offer training programs which provide scholarships and housing, and possible employment after completion.  Some scholarships are funded by employers looking for specifically trained employees. Choose a career path in something you enjoy doing.   I agree with @Scott Adams.  Play your cards close to your chest.  Get your ducks in a row before discussing leaving the gluten aisle where you work now.  Managers can and will fire you really easily, like Scott said.   Prayers and Best Wishes sent.  Keep us posted on your progress!
