Flare Up?

I was diagnosed just over a year ago with a positive biopsy and have been gluten-free since. Before I was diagnosed I had been to the ER for unrelenting pain on my right side kind of right under my rib cage. The pain lasted like 2 weeks and just couldn't take it anymore. Finally when I was diagnosed the pains went away. I am now having this pain again. It hasn't been this severe since last year when I was in the ER. The pain is constant and almost hurts to take a deep breath and even swallow. I have been going over and over my diet and can't figure out what triggered this very familiar pain. I have been under some extra stress at work and wondering if that was enough to just set it off. Normally if I accidentally get a little gluten I get mild pains and know right away and it goes away usually in a day. I'm just so confused about this sudden "flare up"

Something is going on, definitely. Gall bladder maybe? Have you eaten more fats and oils recently? If it doesn't ease up, seems like you should talk to your doc about it. Don't assume it's gluten related, as it may or may not be. I hope you feel better quickly and find the cause for your pain.

      celiac disease and braces

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene. While many people with celiac successfully undergo orthodontic treatment without complication, your caution is valid. It may be beneficial to seek a consultation with an orthodontist who is familiar with managing patients with autoimmune conditions or who is willing to collaborate with your daughter's gastroenterologist or a periodontist. They can perform a thorough assessment of her current oral health, discuss your specific concerns about recession and decay, and create a tailored hygiene plan. This second opinion could provide a clearer risk-benefit analysis, helping you decide if addressing the cosmetic concern of the lower teeth is worth the potential risks for your daughter, especially if they are not currently affecting function or her confidence.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By cristiana · Posted

      It's strange because I'm pretty sure not too long ago I picked up a loaf of bread with B vitamins, but I can't find a single one now.  Probably cutbacks, everyone's trying to save money now!

      Eating grains typically depletes certain B vitamins, so I'm not sure why they decided to fortify with calcium and iron, but hopefully we'll see more B vitamin fortification in gluten-free products going forward.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @HAUS, I was at an event in the UK a few years back. I remember ringing the restaurant ahead to inquire about the gluten free options. All I wanted was a few gluten free sandwiches, which they provided and they were delicious. The gluten-free bread they used was Warbutons white bread and I remember mentioning it on this site before. No harm in trying it once. It's fortified with Calcium and Iron. https://www.warburtonsglutenfree.com/warbs_products/white-loaf/ The only other gluten-free bread that I've come across that is fortified is Schar with Iodized salt, nothing else.
