From Iowa- And So Happy To Have Found This Site!

My 7 yr old son was diagnosed with Celiacs a few weeks ago after two years of constant stomach pain. My daughter and I have had positive blood tests and are having biopsies done next week to confirm, but as we have both had alot of symptoms I am pretty sure it will be positive as well. I have been doing tons of research since my son's diagnosis and have found so much helpful information on this site in particular! It is such a relief to know there are so many other people dealing with the same weird health issues I have always had. I have never had any real help from medical doctors- they make me feel like a hypochondriac and tell me I am just depressed. Well, I AM depressed- cuz I feel so lousy!! Just knowing that there may be a valid explanation for why I feel this way, and even better, a possible solution that DOESN'T involve tons of drugs is so fantastic. I know my doctor thinks I am a nutball because I am so enthusiastic about having a celiac diagnosis! He keeps going on and on about how awful it is to live that way...but he has no clue how awful it is to live THIS way!! Anyway, I am just so grateful to have found others who can empathize with my situation and look forward to learning from you all. (Of course, if my biopsy comes back negative, I am probably going to fall into a deep depression and pull the covers over my head for the next 50 years...) ;)

      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.
