Celiac And Cc

Today is not a good day. I've only been gluten-free for about 4 weeks and have been feeling very good, with the exception of a couple of accidental cc's - I licked an envelope, and a couple of other mistakes. But today, I have been very diligent but it wasn't until I read someone say their dog food had contaminated them that I grabbed the dog food bag and there it is! Part of the first ingredients list is ground wheat. So, thanks to this site, I will be so much more aware when feeding the dog and playing with her now.

Thanks to everyone who contributes their experiences on this site, you are all making it better for the rest of us, I've learned so much from you.

Just wash your hands ALOT after you feed her and play with her. I also wash after giving my dog his treats (he is a trick dog). Lots of hand washing!!!!!

Envelopes can make us sick? I have been writing to my husband twice a week since he deployed with no ill effects...good to know.

I too have animals and I feed my dog-dog (yes, I repeated that lol) using a tupperware scoop and then wash my hands. Also, while I was pregnant I used gloves because I was super sensitive.

You know, K8ling, now that I've done more research and had more experience with this disease, maybe not! All the sites I've read about envelope glue and postage glue say it's gluten free.

What I have discovered tho is that I have been CCing myself from time to time when feeding the dog. So, very possible the envelope glue didn't cause the reaction I had but it was from feeding my doggie that morning.

Thanks for the heads up.

check out Natural Balance dog food. It's gluten-free. We have 5 dogs so feeding plus treats was a challenge. I am still careful to clean up after, wash hands etc ~ but I feel more comfortable. Plus it's much easier when we are traveling in our rv with all of them. Yes! all five of them. lol

There's a reasonable amount of dog foods out there that are gluten-free. Dogs can get celiac disease as well (seeing as how most mammals shouldn't be consuming it) and it's apparently quite common in certain breeds. Be extra suspicious of brands that use "wheat-free" claims as they most often times replace the wheat with barley, look for brands labeled specifically for sensitive stomach as these are (coincidentally?) most often times gluten free.

You reminded me of something funny that happened at work. I sat at my desk, addressed a note to a client, addressed the envelop, stuck the note in the envelope, licked the envelop to seal it and ALL OF A SUDDEN REMEMBERED THAT glue contains gluten. I ran to the kitchen of our office and spit in the sink, then swished my mouth with water and spit, repeating a few (well, several) times. That's when I remembered that our office is under constant camera surveillance.

Nobody has asked me about the incident. Snort. How embarrashing. If envelop glue isn't glutenous, I'd like too know the source of your knowledge. It's been listed on every list I've seen, including South Beach Diet (source of carb calories).

Oops, I responded strongly and irrationally regarding the envelop thing, and was clearly out of line. Something has me whacked today, eiter carageen or corn, not sure which. Double sorry.

I believe the envelope glue thing is one of the mis-information items that gets passed around the internet so many times it becomes fact...despite not being fact. :( Right up there with poor old vinegar.

As for dog treats, Nutro has a great line of blueberry, carrot, and apple flavored treats that are gluten-free. :)

I didn't realize that Nutro has a line of doggie treats. My dog, an 80-lb golden retriever/yellow lab mix, has been on Nutro Lite dog food (the lamb and rice version) since she was about a year old as she was having chronic ear infections while on her previous beefy dog food. She does get Milk Bone treats but only at night after which I wash my hands well before touching anything else. I'll have to check into the Nutro treats. Thanks!

Rice Chex make good doggie treats. They are low fat and low calorie. Good for training or when you need to give several treats.

From what I have read, wheat isn't really good for dogs. They don't digest it well. Its used as a cheap filler.

Rice Chex makes good people treats, too. laugh.gif

And that's probably why wheat is also used as a cheap filler in people food, too. ph34r.gif

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
