Citric Acid

I am new to forum, was diagnosed about a year ago, did better then got very bad stomach again 2 months ago. Doctor put me on prednisone to help.

Have been on since 6-30-05. Was doing good until yesterday, got sick again.

I read from Scott Adams newletter about forum, I thought I had all info but hadn't read about Citric acid?????

I have been going over all I eat to try and figure out what is making me sick, cleaned house when diagnosed of all except Celiac food.

I think it has to be something I don't know about.

I dring 1% Hiland milk, no one has said I was supposed to lay off milk, man that would be hard, but if it is problem for a lot of you then that may be one of the causes.

Do a lot of you have migraines?? May have for the time being subsided.

Night sweats? You bet, thought it was just me.

Is there anything natural that any of you take for coating your stomach?

My natural stomach coating remedy is DGL Licorice. (DGL means it is deglyccorized, which is the element in licorice that raises your blood pressure). It is a chewable. The brand I like is "Nature's Life". Don't worry if you don't like licorice - it doesn't taste a thing like black licorice, for whatever reason. I have a coworker who hates licorice who is addicted to this stuff for his heartburn now.

There is a lot of info about citric acid if you are interested at this forum:

I am allergic to aspergillus, whihc is what is used to make citric acid. Citric acid should not have gluten in it. If you have problems with it, you may have problems with other foods using aspergillus.

Search this site for more info on citric acid, also.

Hope this helps!

Don't know what I'd do without my DGL!

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
