Hi! I also had only Marsh1 on my biopsy and negative blood test. I'm on gluten free and casein free(milk free) diet for 11 months now. I found out that I had SIBO- small intestines bacterial overgrowth (my doctor ordered breathing test for it). It took two antibiotics to clear it out. Then I found out that I have fructose intolerance (again breathing test) which can cause gas and bloating. I can't eat fruit, syrups, honey, jelly. Only berries are aloved. People with celiac disease can have SIBO, fructose intolerance, milk intolerance or casein allergy like me. You can also develop many food intolerancies to corn, soy, eggs which can give you the same symptoms.

Maybe you need to check everything again for the traces of gluten, like tooth paste, mouth wash or medicine.

I gave you just a few points to look at. Maybe somebody will have other ideas.

Good Luck!

It may help if you could tell us what you have been eating? That might help rule out any accidental gluten contamination so you can make sure you need to look at other options, just in case.

Do you share a house with others who eat gluten?

Do you share cooking pots and pans or utensils with those who eat gluten?

Did you get all new sauces, spreads, condiments when you went gluten free? The old ones are more likely to be contaminated. How about cutting boards? Wooden boards and spoons are usually contaminated.

Do you keep your gluten free food in a separate place?

Do you wash your hands before eating? If you use hand sanitizer instead of soap and water, it won't destroy or eliminate the gluten.

Some things to look for that you might have missed:

- shampoo needs to be gluten free, if you ever rinse it and some gets into your mouth

- anything on your lips needs to be gluten free, like chapstick...or the lipstick/chapstick of anyone who kisses you. Kissing someone who eats gluten, if they haven't brushed their teeth, can keep you sick.

- lotion needs to be gluten free, if you chew on your nails/ lick your fingers after eating, that sort of thing.

- do you work/live near construction? a lot of the dust can have gluten, and if it gets into your mouth, it can make you sick.

Hy guys,

thanks for your attention!

I will tell more about my history and my food habits in order to find out what is going on.

I AM 26 Y OLD AND I HAVE ALREALDY SPENT MORE THAN 50,000 U$ IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS, so im little desperated, sorry for that.

1)symptons: for the last 4 years

Fatigue chronic, gas (eructation even in the morning with nothing in the stomach), flatulence, hard bloated stomach, diarrhea (it is not every day, but the consistency of my stools is always weak, no matter what i eat)

eventual stomachache, i wake up in the morning very exhausted, my mind is dizzy,acne ,dandruff,

2) what i eat?

in the morning: fruits: apple, pears, bananas, etc; coffe (pure), cheese bread, cereal bar (non-gluten),

lunch: meat, rice, beans, vegetables

dinner: same as lunch

i am gluten free for 3 months now, and i try to be casein free too. I DON T EAT SOY EGGS OR CORN, REGULARLY, I HARDLY EVER EAT CHOCOLATE OR SWEAT STUFF

3) MEDICAL EXAMS

i have done endoscopy capsule (found a some ulcer in the intestine), endoscopy and colonoscopy with several biopsy, the endoscopy ones showed marsh 1 again (i just got the result), BLOOD TESTS FOR CELIAC ALL NEGATIVE, and every other blood test is ok, excecp d vitamin that is a little low and i m taking some shots.

4)ANSWERING QUESTIONS:

Do you share a house with others who eat gluten?yes, i share a house with others who eat gluten, or even worse, i have to eat outside where i cannot trust because they dont know how bad is CC.

Do you share cooking pots and pans or utensils with those who eat gluten?

my mother says she washes everything and i dont take any utensils from others, but i dont have utensils just for my use.

Did you get all new sauces, spreads, condiments when you went gluten free? The old ones are more likely to be contaminated. How about cutting boards? Wooden boards and spoons are usually contaminated.

I DID NOT, i have to pay attention to this subject.

Do you keep your gluten free food in a separate place? yes

Do you wash your hands before eating? If you use hand sanitizer instead of soap and water, it won't destroy or eliminate the gluten. yes with soap and water

i will check for SHAMPOOS AND OTHERS PRODUCTS, to see if they are gluten free

I REALLY NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON, I REALLY THINK IS SOMETHING THAT IM EATING THAT IS TURNING MY LIFE UPSIDE DOWN.

I WILL SEE WITH MY GI IF I CAN DO THE BREATHING TEST, AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I CAN EAT THAT IS SAFE? MEAT, CHICKEN, RICE IS OK? I THINK BEANS CAN CAUSES BACTERIA GROW AND GASES

I DON KNOW HOW TO ELABORATE A FOOD CHART, SINCE MY SINTOMS ARE A CONSTANT, THAT IS, IT S HARD TO IDENTIFY WHEN SOMETHING IS INTOXICATING ME. I CAN SUPPORT ANY TYPE OF DIET, JUST TELL ME HOW LONG I HAVE TO TRY TO SEE THE RESULTS, I TRY TO BE STRICT TO A DIET.

I WILL TRY TO FIX MY GLUTEN FREE DIET AND I GIVE YOU INFO ABOUT THE ONGOING SITUATION.

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPER ATTENTION,

RAONI MURILLO MOLIN

just to check with you again - your list says "cheese bread." Is that bread made of wheat flour or gluten-free flours?

I'm just going out on a hunch here. My husband's step mother is from Brazil and the cheese bread she talks about is called pao de queijo (I hope I spelled it right). I make is quite often. I even made my recipe for her and she said it tasted very much like what she ate in Brazil. It is usually made from sour manioc starch/flour, milk, oil, eggs and cheese. I make mine out of tapioca starch/flour (which is similar made from the same root but processed differently). The pao de queijo should be gluten free unless there is some cross contamination.

I would try and get stricter at home about the possible cross comtamination. I would venture to say alot of her problems are coming from that.

Many of your symptoms seem to be fructose intolerance and if the legumes are bothering you it might be lectins. Some people cannot eat fruit high in fructose and some cannot tolerate legumes. Consider these two in addition to the SIBO infection possibility and closely watching you CC. I hope you feel better soon.

thanks you guys for the answers,

1)Yes cheese bread is the "pao de queijo" explained just like RODA told us. I will look for CC in every place I know.

2) I WILL START TODAY THE Fructose Intolerance Plan, I think the better way to do it is to use the low FODMAP diet, is that right? do you have a list of foods that are left to eat, considering that i will stick to the gluten-free diet.

3) I will TRY TO CUT THE LECTINS ALSO.... BUT my question is what is left to eat?

Thanks you guys,

'I look forward to help others, just it.

      Newly diagnosed mam to coeliac 11 year old

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Dizzyma I note what @trents has commented about you possibly posting from the UK.  Just to let you know that am a coeliac based in the UK, so if that is the case, do let me know if can help you with any questions on the NHS provision for coeliacs.    If you are indeed based in the UK, and coeliac disease is confirmed, I would thoroughly recommend you join Coeliac UK, as they provide a printed food and drink guide and also a phone app which you can take shopping with you so you can find out if a product is gluten free or not. But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Newly diagnosed mam to coeliac 11 year old

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
