Eating Gluten Free And Having D

I have recently been diagnosed and am eating mostly meats and veggies, but I miss my pizza. I bought a gluten free pizza dough mixed and made it the other night. There is only my husband and I eating it and one package makes 1 very large pizza, so there was leftovers which I have been eating for my lunches. The issue is evertime I eat it, I have some D. Is this normal? Before my system was just the opposite with being blocked up all the time.

It happens. I have been Gluten-Free for over a year and I just had D myself. Sometimes I think we forget that everyone gets D sometimes celiac or not. Don't worry about it.

Cross-contamination can sometimes be a problem. Old kitchen equipment that was used for gluteny things or are currently being used for both can cause problems. I have found through allergy testing and dietary elimination and experiments that other food allergies can cause me GI issues. When I am free of all the food allergens, my system works great! I had no idea I had so many food allergies or that those foods could impact me the way they do. Individually, they are not strong reactors but the load is significant.

Perhaps you're allergic to one of the ingredients in the pizza. I was following the gluten-free diet and about 8 weeks ago got extremely sick. It turned out that not all products labeled gluten-free actually are. I also seem to have allergies to certain foods and oils. I put myself on the elimination diet and currently "feast" (joke) on rice and veggies. As far as D - my GI has me taking Fiber Con and it seems to help.

I developed a different pain (under my breastbone) about 4 weeks ago and put my foot down about getting a capsule endoscopy. I had moved to a new town/state literally the day after all my celiac results came in and my old GI wanted me to have the test immediately after I found a new GI. My new GI was not taking me seriously and I was ready to go to someone that my husband's colleague used. My current GI called me the day after the test (it normally takes 2-3 weeks to read) and did a 360 in his attitude and demeanor. Turns out I have an ulcer. I'm having a biopsy of it tomorrow.

If you want any info on the elimination diet let me know. There are also food lists under another thread that I can give you the link to.

Good luck.

Tricia Thompson did a study recently on gluten free grains and found them to be contaminated with gluten. Your pizza may have been similarly contaminated and your D might be a gluten reaction. It could have also gotten contaminated in the facility. Was it processed in a facility which also processes grain? Some gluten free pizza is more gluten free than others. You might be fine with a different brand. Hope you feel better soon.

Might I suggest that it might be the cheese on the Piza. Some celiacs, until healed, are lactose intolerant, but only until they are fully healed.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
