My boyfriend is celiac. He sometimes has a problem with lying. He lies to me, his friends, his mom, sometimes without realizing. Then, when I confront him, he tells me its the gluten? I don't really buy it, but I'd like to know if there is, in fact, any substance to that.....help?

Celiac is associated with depression, anxiety and possibly other mental illnesses. I have never heard of it causing people to lie though. What is he lying about? Some people will lie to get out of trouble. Some will lie to make themselves seem more important. Some will lie to make it seem their world is better than it is. Have you suggested counseling? It would be a good idea to figure out why he is less than truthful. It would be good if he can break this habit because eventually no one will believe anything he says even if it is the truth.

Don't buy it. He can't use it as an excuse for everything.

Is he on the gluten-free diet? If so, then he isn't getting any gluten to cause anything except an occasional accident. If he isn't but is diagnosed with celiac disease, he has a lot of psychological issues besides lying.

Lol thanks so much. Like I said, I didn't buy it. He is just starting a strict gluten-free diet, now. i offered to get him help. He's been a lot better about it the past few months, but I was just curious. He told me that the gluten causes his mind to cloud and he couldn't make decisions like normal, but my response was that he couldn't blame everything on gluten, and that if that was the problem, he should stop eating it....just an extra reason lol. He was lying about typical 19 year old boy things....where he was going or had been, who he was with. We ended up breaking up over it, but were trying again, and now he's taking care of himself, and I'm making sure. No excuses now.:)

He is young. There is some growing up still for a 20 year old guy. Good luck, Hon!

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
