Glutened Or Not?

So my lower GI was doing great for several months..i was on a super strict diet then started Alinia for parasites and repopulated my flora with high dose probiotics. a few weeks ago I ate some coconut sorbet and ever since my regularity is off and i have been bloating constantly. Not sure if i just triggered an IBS flare up or if i exposed myself to gluten somewhere. The sorbet was gluten free so i dont know if it was that. i have been much more liberal with food lately and have been eating more fruits and stuff but my whole system is out of whack. Even a few months ago when i was stable I was able to eat new things without any problem and even felt fine after eating out in restaurants. For the past few days i have had difficulty going to the bathroom and my stools have been thin and floating. I get this every once and a while and still dont know if its gluten or something else.

I just started dating a wonderful girl and i can live in a bubble and go back to a super restricted diet now...i want to take her out for dinner and enjoy myself. But what am i supposed to do? There are too many what ifs...what if i still have parasites? what if the gum she chews or her make up has gluten in it? What if eating out puts me at risk for more problems like autoimmune issues, lowering of intestinal sIGA which will cause more bugs to proliferate, etc, etc.

As some of you know my mental attitude has been great for severeal months...i almost feel like a new person...but i am just scared s**tless about eating again

Are you certain that you reacted to ingredients in the coconut sorbet and not some other food that might have contained one of your other allergens? What do you mean by "my whole system is out of whack"? I usually don't continue to react more than 2 weeks even after consuming gluten and much less to any of my other 6 food allergens. Are you certain that you don't have a new intestinal infection (parasites or bacteria)? You said you haven't retested after treating for parasites. I encourage you to retest before you start restricting your diet even more. Have you continued taking the high dose probiotics?

I am allergic to coconut as well as being celiac...It complicates things. I would start looking for other allergies or seeing if possibly the sorbet was cc'd

i was initially able to tolerate a small amount of the sorbet but i had a large quantity which did me in- dont think it was CC'd

I was also going to suggest a problem with coconut. I'm intolerant to it--gives me terrible indigestion and migraines.

Could it be the sugar? Or maybe a combination of sugar and coconut? Too much sugar upsets my stomach.

Doesn't enterolab do parasite testing?

We'll get you all fixed up, eventually!! B)

I'm wondering about the probiotic. People tolerate different probiotics differently. Sometimes a probiotic that works great for one person makes another quite sick.

I'm another one who can't tolerate coconut. It's almost as bad as getting glutened.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
