Hi! I am new to this forum I just registered today! Here is my story I was diagnosed with Celiac as a baby back in the 70's. Dr's did a biopsy to diagnose me back then i am told. I was on strict diet then gradually introduced to gluten - PASTA and Bread- and was not getting as sick so my parents felt i had 'outgrown' it. So for 30 something yrs now I have been eating gluten regularly. Well I have had so many issues with my stomach, arthritis, strange rashes, constipation, weight gain, fatigue for years and doctors always told me it was anxiety and it was all in my head. I did always mention that i had celiac as a baby, so you think this would have been a red flag to them? ANyway back in 2007 I go to hospital thinking i had a stroke b/c i could not move my left leg - I had foot drop and they FOUND that i had Multiple DVT's in BOTH my legs ( I did not have symptoms of blood clots they found them 'accidently'. turns out it was not a STroke (MRI's showed no Stroke) and they were stumped for 2 yrs as to why I got these clots! trust me they did genetic testing, lupus, tons of tests and nothing came up. They did eventually give me Celiac blood test but it came back negative so they don't believe I was diagnosed with celiac back in the day. Well after reading a book on Celiac, I really think its possible DVT is related to Celiac. I am going to a GI dr on Wed for the first time in my adult yrs and i am hoping that does an Endoscopy to see for sure that I have Celiac and to see what damage I done to my body. I have been feeling AWFUL lately and i know it has to be because of Gluten. Has anyone else ever had blood clot issues that has Celiac? Thank you.

Yes, I was misdiagnosed by a lab test 39 years ago after having a DVT with a RARE blood disease called Anti Thrombin III. I went to a hematologist on March 9th. She repeated the newer tests for all coagulating diseases and I was negative. I stopped my "blood thinner" after 39 years and I just don't feel right. Something is going on. I see the hematologist on Wednesday next week and hopefully she will tell me if my coagulation problems could be related to this disease. Who knows?

      Im sorry I didn't read until just now, thankyou.its pretty scary because again as I keep stating down played because of what im currently going through and validated by you guys, thank you very much for that because this is mentally challenging especially when asking, begging for medical help.In that note, I looked at my next appointment with gi whose my "new care",i thought. I had  scheduled appointment in March zoom call just to be dump, it was CANCELLED on their part! My appointment isn't there anymore! I do have appointment with Mayo clinic Tuesday on the phone. I also did talk to our local representative in Stanislaus office this past Friday, yesterday and ( Justin) thinks he knows about celiac disease. I don't think he understands because he told me he knows all about celiac! Well Justin why am I dealing with this bs in your county? Hintz the reason why I feel the need to go to city hall meeting yet I  don't have the medical  support....

      I would not eat it. Some people are more sensitive to small amounts of gluten than others. Until you know how sensitive you are It is probably best to be extra careful. Is this a crustless pizza?  I looked on the Papa Murphy website, clicked on nutrition and filtered by “avoid gluten”. The only pizzas that it said were gluten free were crustless slices.

      Has anyone had a reaction to gluten free pasta ?  I made ground beef pasta and gluten free sauce and I'm having every symptom there is.  Nausea ,  constipated,   burning pins and needles, anxiety...etc   lots of pain 😞 headache 😭  Does this sound familiar?   I'm literally bed ridden.

      Thank you for your reply.  I read the same thing about distilled water.  Oddly, drinking that has not caused any sort of reaction in my gut.  Nothing I can hear and feel anyway.  🤣  With that said, I have also switched over to spring water for drinking.  My traditional go to grocery store charges the exact same thing ($1.39) for a gallon of pre-bottled spring, distilled, or RO water.  The manual gallon refills of RO water have an attractive price of $0.49 per gallon, provided you use your own container.  Knowing it causes major bubble gut (and likely other issues) for me, I am avoiding all RO water moving forward.  In fact, I will gladly drink tap before RO water. Here is what Google says when searching "European study regarding reverse osmosis water". --Begin quote: European studies indicate that while reverse osmosis (RO) is highly effective at removing contaminants, it strips essential minerals (calcium, magnesium) and creates low-mineral, slightly acidic water.  Research suggests this may have long-term health implications, such as mineral deficiencies, while also negatively affecting the sensory quality (taste) of water. Key Findings from European Research & Reviews: Health Concerns: Epidemiological studies in Europe have associated low-mineral water consumption with increased risks of cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, and reduced intake of essential nutrients. Mineral Depletion: RO systems can remove up to 95%+ of solutes, including minerals that are vital for health. Sensory and Quality Impact: Studies show that reducing the mineral content (TDS) of water makes it taste bitter or flat, with optimal, "fresh" taste found in water with a TDS between 190 and 350 mg/L, suggesting post-RO remineralization is necessary for better quality. Regulatory & Safety Context: While not banned, European regulations under the Drinking Water Directive emphasize the importance of mineral content, and countries like Germany often favor alternative treatment technologies that retain minerals. Industrial Application: In Europe, RO is widely accepted for industrial applications (e.g., food, beverage, pharma) due to its high purity output, but it poses challenges like membrane biofouling. Environmental Impact: RO is recognized to use more energy and waste more water (up to 15% more) compared to conventional treatment methods, raising environmental concerns in some municipalities.  Recommendations: Due to the loss of minerals, many experts recommend remineralizing RO water before drinking to improve taste and nutritional value.  --End Quote

      I've heard RO water is bad, too.   Distilled water has all the minerals distilled out of it, so it will pull minerals out of your bones, too.  I only use distilled water to fill up my clothes iron so it won't get mineral deposits inside and quit working. I drink mineral or spring water.
