I am still waiting on some resluts, however, my allergist called with these so far...

Gluten IGA---NORMAL

Grade 1 allergy to wheat and egg

Positive allergy to NUTS--(he is now going to find out which ones)I already know peanut

High antibodies to thyroid hormone (that is why I am itchy)--We will discuss options for this after all other results are in..

Should I go gluten free or just wheat free?

It looks like your blood test for gluten was incomplete, if it was a blood test. It should be a panel with several tests and it should be done before you go gluten-free.

Your allergy results are similar to my son's. We did have a celiac panel done and it was neg. To give us further clarity we opted for Enterolab testing. In the near future we are considering gene testing as well.

Finding out more about the thyroid may help you decide about the gluten. If you end up with autoimmune thyroid problems that would point to celiac disease and gluten being an issue not just wheat.

Homestly, with my son's wheat allergy test pos. we considered wheat VS gluten, but there are few things that are wheat-free but not gluten-free, the difference meaning including barley or not. I felt like it was just as easy to go gluten-free. The only things I've come across that were wheat-free but not gluten-free were 2 kinds of cookies and miso and barley itself and 1 salad dressing. I just feel like you don't get to include that many extra things in your diet by being wheat-free, not gluten-free.

My Dr said that they were still waiting on other tests, so hopefully those include the rest of celiac testing. I was eating gluten on and off for a while and then the week before the test I ate as much wheat as I could.(I tend to fall asleep right after I eat it, so mostly at night, since I have five little kids)

My mom and my sister both have hypothyroidism and my brother has epilepsy, and my other sister has unexplained infertility, and now my dad has type 1 diabetes. I think my family all has a problem, but noone wants to try the diet with me.

My only thought on gluten vs wheat, would be oats...Do you think that would be ok?

Mainstream oats are proven to be significantly cross-contaminated with wheat so are not recommended for Celiacs or people with wheat allergies. Mainstream products that contain oats usually don't use certified gluten-free oats in them because of the cost. Certified gluten-free oats are available and special precautions have been in place in the growing, harvesting, shipping and processing, storage etc. to ensure no cross-contaimination with wheat.

As for your Dad with T1, please see my post on this thread for the link between T1 and celiac disease and the recommendation for testing.

u could do Bob's Red Mill CERTIFIED gluten free rolled oats, or oat flour, Udi's has a gluten free Oat granola, and right now im eating gluten free flavored oatmeal (forgot the brand) with no ill effects.

wow- looking at your family- all these genes are SO related!!!! i really wish our medical system was up to date on Gluten Intolerance- it's so frustrating how sick some of our families are and how they're not being screened- why would they listen to us and then try to fight their doctor for a test???

UGH

from everything ive been reading- People with Autoimmune Disease are more likely to have antibodies to gluten than the normal population. in my family- ive got Celiac & Hashimoto's Hypothyroid, mom's got Hashimoto's, Dad- Psoraisis (and im assuming Celiac).

cousins with Thyroid issues, an Aunt with "Crohns or IBS" (im saying Celiac). AND- u meantion Epilepsy-> my cousin i just found out has been having PARTIAL seizures her whole life- from ASPARTAME!! even if she chews gum with aspartame- half her head & face seizes up... she's dx with wheat & dairy allergy, but no celiac testing yet.

good luck figuring out what you're doing- and getting the family tested

Do as another poster mentioned stick with gluten free oats when you try it. However some of us react to even gluten free oats so wait until you are well healed and then eat some daily for a week and watch for a reaction.

The whole aspertame thing scares me alot... I have vertigo and Some nights it feels like my bed is shaking, but it's me. I almost feel like it's a seizure, and with my brothers epilepsy it scares me... I wonder if that happens when I have a diet pepsi before bed. I will have to start paying attention.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around. The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me. Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
