My oldest son was just diagnosed with Celiac Disease. He is a Grizzley Tobacco user but now every time he uses he gets nauseas and feels very ill. This has never happened to him before and he needs to stop using tobacco period but he is determined to find a product that doesn't make him sick, at least for an occasional dip. Does anyone know anything on this topic??

Hi beachbumtoo.

The best thing to do is to call the company and ask if their products/product contain wheat, barley or rye.

Thanks! I did but they said that they did not test their products for gluten but they thought they were safe. He tried a few of his favorites and got really sick. He is really upset and hasn't had a "dip" in about a week! We found out that Snus is safe and he is trying it.

After a diagnosis....many, if most all foods (gluten free or not) can be an issue. With digestive issues, I can only assume that tobacco might be an irritant.

One other thought on this is that possibly a secondary intolerance to Nightshades has surfaced. This includes, tomato, potato, tobacco and eggplant and all peppers. Do these other things bother him? Tobacco is in the Nightshade family.

Hopefully this is not the case, but if the gluten free tobacco makes him ill, you might want to consider it.

If he has been without it for a week can you convince him to stay off it for good?

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
