Well now the D is back. I drank apple juice (Apple and Eve brand) during lunch.

I'm hoping it's fr the apple juice. Do you get the D from apple juice? I thought apples was supposed to do the opposite!

Thanks

u might have a problem with fructose. google Fructose Malabsorption. i think it's based on new studies out of Australia... but after months of being doubled over in pain- i found info on it- and it completely rang true for me. i still have to eliminate some other things-probably some sugar & grains, and of course dairy.. BUT- i can tell u- since i stopped eating my daily pears, and also avoided other high fructose things like dates, apple juice, HFCS, and too much in one sitting of bananas or prunes-> i feel SO MUCH better! i didnt get the "D", and my "movements" were fantastic- but i was doubled over in painful cramping- it was horrible.

and i never used to have a problem with apple juice.. but i think with Gluten Intolerance-> our systems go thru phases (temporary OR permanent) where it may be hard to digest other things

Thanks, I've never had problems w/ applejuice or any juice before, I hope I don't have that fructose thing! Did you see my other thread? I was having problems last week so I thought my aggravated stomach couldn't handle apple juice today.

When I see my GI at the end of the month I'll ask him to test for the fructose intolerance.

My 5 yr old son and 8 yr old daughter get D from apple juice. Always have! It is the only thing that does it so I don't know what it is about the apple. They have other Frutose things with no problem.

hmmm curious.

I hope you feel better!

My son gets D from apple juice too! Same thing, always has. Even as a little baby, people would say "don't you give him a juice bottle?" And I'd say "not unless I want to dehydrate and kill him!" :0) Just a few weeks ago, shortly after I was diagnosed with Celiac, that same son, now 11, decided he wanted to try gluten-free too. He's feeling so much better! He used to fart up a storm and complain of back pain, tummy pain, D, and was generally very cranky and emotional. Since going wheat free he's like a new kid! Thinking back to that apple juice thing....I wonder if he's had food allergies all his life, and I just didn't notice. O no, now I have "Mom guilt!"

Regardless.... I think getting D from juice is pretty common. It's a TON of sugar, despite it appearing "healthy." Lots of manufacturers make lower sugar versions of juices now. Perhaps you can try those? Now I'm not sure about the gluten content etc.... That would have to be researched, but I know that neither me nor my son do well with juices. Get well soon!

The one I had is organic(Apple and Eve), I only buy organic everything. And it has no added sugar, the only sugar in it is whatever sugar that was in the apples.

Anyway, I only had one itty bitty tetra pack yesterday(the one w/ a straw). We'll see today how it goes, I think I'm ok.

it might just be that it's just too much fiber for someone with a compromised digestive system to handle... not a big deal. when my little brother was a toddler- whenever he had "C", he would scream for my mom to get him apple juice to help him go.

maybe u could try mixing it with water- or waiting till he's more stable... or just picking a different juice from now on... (and not Pear juice- even more fructose AND fiber than apple)

I didn't have any today, I had some grape juice, not apple :).

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies. IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells. Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting! The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac...

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
