Can I Still Be Glutened ...

Hi All:

I went through testing and was not diagnosed celiac.

I have been off the poison for about 3 weeks now.

Yesterday I had some IBS flare-ups and felt like crap.

Today I am dizzy and achy all over (esp. in my arms and legs) and I am slightly nauseous and just plain exhausted!!

If you don't have the proper diagnosis of celiac, can you still be glutened?

Because this sure feels like I have been - even though I can't think of what I ate to make me feel like this!!

Thanks for your comments,

~Allison

YOu can be if you have a gluten allergy! I am not celiac, just Gluten-intollerant and I got Glutened yesterday. It is certainly possible!

Sorry you feel crappy too!!

This just sucks.

I'm fighting to get any work done today.

I'm so foggy and slow.

My arms feel like lead.

I hope YOU feel better soon!!

Just because your tests come back negative does not mean you do not have celiac disease. Celiac disease, gluten intolerant, wheat allergy, the best test is to eat some gluten. Get sick? Consider it the best positive results for the test.

Remember to try this several times. Cross check what other ingredients were in what you ate. You could have problems with soy, dairy, corn or another food items.

You sound like you already can tell that you are testing positive. This is something you know in your heart and soul by the sounds of what you wrote. Consider yourself smarter than most doctors.

Think of it this way. Some people take a pregnancy test that says negative but they really are pregnant. Not everyone has "within normal" limits on their tests.

LOL THanks for the love, I feel WAY better today. Husband called it a "Drive By Flouring" because it was a relatively mild reaction.

I already know that I have problems with dairy and I've avoided it as much as possible for most of my life. The only dairy I can really manage is yoghurt and some hard cheeses like parmesan and romano and the occasional piece of swiss cheese. Other than that I tend to stay away from it. I just can't think of what I had on Monday night (other than a nice spinach salad with tomatoes, an avocado, and some sunflower seeds. The Boathouse Farms dressing never hurt me before.

Yesterday I had some sausage, it was good sausage but my stomach might not have been ready for it. And I did read the label. Unless it had MSG in it (and it had another name) it seemed safe, you know!! MSG makes me ill too. I think that MSG makes most people ill.

Thanks, Ahorsesoul, I already know that I am smarter than most docs. If I am not celiac, I know that I have a major problem with gluten and it's why I am not willing to go back on it to "fight" the test results. But I was feeling sooooo good, esp. this past week.

Things like this are bound to happen, so I hope that they don't happen to often.

Thanks for your comment. I am being super careful with stuff and it works, for the most part, until it doesn't work. And when it doesn't I guess I have to expect it to be an incrementally harsh reaction from now on.

I'm here at work and I will carry on as best I am able to. And then I will call tonight an early night and hope it passes tomorrow. It will pass, I know that.

Thanks guys, for your help,

~Allison

Reminds me--I was thinking how much stronger and more resiliant we actually are against colds and flue and have a tendency to look younger etc. if we stay off the gluten--so we really are in many ways much stronger than most folks. But all it takes to get us is if someone throws glutenous flour at us!! Unfortunately it is much more prevalent than superman's Kryptonite!! One could make a Broadway play about it, it could be both funny and dark at the same time...

One has to be a sleuth and develop awareness and strategies to avoid CC...and then other ones to more quickly overcome it...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
