Celiac Or Gluten Intolerance Without Gi Problems?


Nads

Recommended Posts

Nads Rookie

I am gluten intolerant, had IBS for years which resolved when I removed gluten from my diet a few years ago (tested neg for blood test 15 years ago but never retested) and I suspect that my 16 year old is also at least intolerant. She refuses to be tested. When I stopped eating gluten, our whole family switched and she did fine with it but in the last year she has insisted on adding wheat back into her diet because she missed real pizza, bagels, wheat wraps, cookies etc. so because she did not have any real GI issues, I did not think it would be an issue. Since then seemingly coincidentally her anxiety which had been mild all her life, increased 10 fold and she started developing panic attacks. She is very short and always had trouble with growth (she is 4'10") and is also hypoglycemic. I started to wonder if maybe she is gluten intolerant or celiac after all. I was wondering if it is possible that she is even though she does not have real GI issues. She agreed to try going gluten free again and it has been about 3 weeks now. She says she feels a little less anxious but it is not that significant. I am wondering how long I should keep her on the diet. Is there any literature out there that explains what causes the emotional issues when they are caused by gluten and how quickly they resolve if gluten is removed and was the problem?

thanks in advance for any info.

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
