Hi , I am 20 years old and I have been gluten free for a year. I was tested for celiacs and the result was negative, but my doctor said it could be wrong. I have many symptoms of it and going gluten-free is the only thing that has helped. As a child I would get hospitalized often because of stomach aches and because I would stop eating. I was too young to say that I was constipated so the doctors didn

Sorry you have been through so much and it is good to hear that the diet is helping you. I agree that you may have some other intolerances. You may want to drop dairy and soy for a bit and see if that helps. If it does then add them back in one at a time after a couple of months to see if you are reacting to one but not the other. Also make sure that you are checking any supplements or meds that you are taking. Those need to be checked with the maker to be sure as your doctor won't know if something is safe or not.

I hope you continue to improve.

Thank you for replying, I do believe a lot of damage was doctor caused and I go to a new doctor now. I have other intolerants dairy, soy, peanuts, and pork (it does not digest well for me) Would it be okay to cut out grains completely even if I am very active. I dance competitively training is 4-10 hours a week. Right now I do two grains a week brown rice, Quonioa, or gluten-free oatmeal. As for the being careful, I try to be very careful. It seems like the smallest amount of gluten makes me sick, even my face wash and shampoo has to be gluten-free or my face swells and my head and face will be itchy.

Some gluten intolerant people cannot tolerate oats at all, even gluten-free oats. I would drop those first before cutting out all grains. Also be aware that if you are oat-intolerant you may need to also avoid some brands which use gluten-free oats in their facilities. For example I cannot tolerate oats and because of that I also cannot eat anything made by Bob's Red Mill--all their gluten-free flours are made in the same facility/same equipment as their gluten-free oats and therefore cc by gluten-free oats.

Okay I will try that, what would you recommend for breakfast then? I eat eggs a few times a week and then oats. Also I can't have anything with a lot of sugar because I have low sodium and sugar makes my sodium and potassium levels lower

Yes, I agree with GFManna - cut out the oats. They are problematic in anyone not totally healed. Some people react to rice and quinoa, sad/weird as that may be.

I think going grain free is do-able for athletes. Sweet potatoes are good as are other squashes for carbs. You could go grain free and then add the rice back in and see if you're ok.

You could read "The Paleo Solution" by Robb Wolf (see his site robbwolf dot com) as he is a trainer and trains competitive athletes. He has a lot about healing and training on the grain-free diet.

There are lots of things to eat for breakfast. There's no reason you need to eat "breakfasty" food in the morning. I often have leftovers from dinner. I try to have a balance of protein (meat, beans, peanut butter, eggs) and carbs (fruit, gluten-free bread, rice, potatoes) for breakfast. check out the "what's for breakfast" thread to see what other people eat:

This may sound dumb, but how do I know if I have a reaction to it? I don't notice any pain after I eat them, should I watch for bloating? I never knew you could have issues with gluten-free foods so this is all new to me

I don't tolerate oats but I also like a hot cereal for breakfast. You could try Buckwheat Kasha or Cream of Buckwheat. If Pocono brand is available where you are they are grown in dedicated fields and harvested and processed in a plant that only processes Buckwheat.

My go to breakfast is usally Udi bread and pnut butter with some fruit and sometimes I also go for eggs or something that is left over from the night befores dinner.

Me too. Udi's bread, toasted with butter and peanut butter and a cup of tea.

For breakfasts I like bacon and eggs, omelettes, poached eggs with hollandaise, plain old cereal, frittata, homemade bread with creamy lavender honey, grilled cheese and smoothies. I LOVE bluberry/strawberry/banana with some apple juice and yogurt and flaxseed. Sometimes I just have leftovers for breakfast. Oh, and pancakes with homemade butter rum syrup and fruit salad with lime juice, honey and poppyseeds. I also sometimes make cornbread and scones. I make too many flavoured honeys and preserves that I need a vehicle for them! I like to add a handful of raw almonds to my diet in the morning.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By KimMS · Posted

      Thanks for sharing that site! Do you know if that site has any information about manufacturing/possible cross contact on it? I can't find it. When I have called manufacturers, most of them say they can't guarantee no cross contact in manufacturing (except Lannett, Mylan and possible Amneal, which aren't available near me).

      Possible cross-contamination – concerned about symptoms

      By Dora77 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I have celiac disease and I’m asymptomatic, which makes things more stressful because I don’t know when I’ve been glutened. That’s why I try to be really careful with cross-contamination. For almost a year, I’ve been having yellow/orange floating stools consistently. I’m not sure if it’s related to gluten exposure or something else going on. I’ve been trying to identify any possible mistakes in my routine. Today, I made myself some gluten-free bread with cheese. Normally, I’m very careful: I use one hand to handle the cheese packaging (which could be contaminated, since it’s from the supermarket and was probably sitting on a checkout belt that had flour residue), and the other hand to touch my gluten-free bread and plate. But today I accidentally touched the bread with the same hand I used to grab the cheese pack from the fridge. The fridge handle might also have traces of gluten since I live in a shared household where gluten is used. I’m worried this mistake could have contaminated my bread. There were no visible crumbs or flour, but I know even trace amounts can be a problem. Has anyone had similar experiences or symptoms from this level of contact? Could this kind of exposure be enough to trigger symptoms or cause intestinal damage? Thanks for reading.

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      So eight days in a row of gluten on top of gluten on top of gluten, I just had to resort to the EpiPen. I wish I could post a picture because you wouldn’t believe how enormous my gut is! It makes my head look like a pinhead.Ahhhgggsahhhhh!!!! I have discovered that I have to read the ingredients when I use a product up that I’ve been able to use without getting a reaction, because they can change the ingredients and bam my toothpaste now has gluten!!! my doctor told me gluten free means it has 20 ppm which someone with a severe a celiac as I’ve got that thing there kills me. I try to find certified gluten-free in everything. I can’t eat any oats unless it’s Bob’s red mill certified gluten-free. Good luck everybody this autoimmune disease is wicked wicked

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      I have been using a little bit of Lubriderm when I wash my hands because it’s the lotion offered at a place I frequent once a week. Assuming it was gluten-free I bought a bottle. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting gluten EVERY night. I use a little of the lotion in the morning on my neck, with no reaction, but at night, I use it on my arms and legs and face and get gluten gut pretty bad. After eight nights of having to have diphenhydramine injections for severe gluten, I googled “is Lubriderm gluten-free” and it led me to this forum. I am going to go back to olive oil as I have been gut sick sooooooo bad with a huge gut and pain eight days in a row now. Sick of feeling sick.
