I know when i eat a raw tomatoes it upsets me, or egg plant... so i have taken those out of my diet....Then today, i ate some corn bread and feel sick again! does anyone have the same thing or could give me some good advice?

Thanks so much.:)

Some people have intolerance or allergy to corn. You might want to read up on that too.

I have had some problems similar to yours. When I went gluten-free I improved slowly and still had some digestive issues - I tried removing dairy and nightshades with no improvement. From 6-14 months gluten-free I was in excellent health for the first time in years - then many of my symptoms returned and got worse. Only recently did my digestive issues return in full force.

I've been researching Lectins and Leaky Gut Syndrome which led me to start full elimination diet a few days ago. I started with two days green smoothie detox. Today is day 3 - I woke up sluggish as usual, but within a few hours I was wired (felt like I'd drank several cups of coffee) - was vertical for the entire day (haven't been that in months) and my brain was clear (have had terrible fog/memory problems). I'm still in muscle/joint pain, but am hopeful that I might be on the right track.

I'll be eating meat/vegies/fruit only for the next several weeks (depending on improvement) followed by challenge period where each problem lectin group is introduced separately: eggs, nightshades, nuts, dairy and grains.

Anyway some websites that I found interesting are:

      I'm not saying this is what you have, but your description reminds me of Morgellons, which are not very well understood. Here is a review from a reputable source. If it seems similar to your experience, you could raise this question with your Dr.  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/morgellons-disease

      Hi Trent, no dairy. Other than good quality butter. I have been lactose free for years. No corn, sugar, even seasonings and spices. I don't eat out. I cook my own food.

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, are you consuming dairy? Not sure if dairy is part of the carnivore diet.

      Hello Russ! Thank you so much for your reply.  I have not had an antibody test done, ever, relating to gluten. Last year I had an allergy test done via blood draw (as my insurance wouldn't cover the skin test) but this was for pollen and grasses, not food. Even on the blood test I had extremely high levels of reactions to each allergen. Could this seasonal allergy inflammation be contributing to my celiac inflammation? I am so careful, there is no way I could ingest gluten. For example, couple of months ago I tried a cough drop that says it was gluten free. I checked ingredients, it seemed fine. But just taking one of those caused me to have nausea, vomiting, and the same extreme abdominal pain. Have you ever heard of anyone else having symptoms like mine after being diagnosed celiac and strictly gluten free? The last episode I had like this was yesterday, after I ate a certified gluten-free coconut macaroon with a little chocolate on it. I have eaten coconut and chocolate before with no issue,  so I didn't see how I could all of a sudden have such a strong response.

      The sensitivity of people with coeliac disease varies greatly between individuals. The generally accepted as safe limit for most people is 10 milligrams per day. This equates to a piece of bread the size of a small pea. Some people report that they are more sensitive than this, but others can very occasionally eat a normal gluten containing meal without reacting. I don't think that touching or throwing bread around would lead to you ingesting enough to cause a reaction. There are case reports of farmers with coeliac disease reacting to the dust from gluten-containing animal feed but they were inhaling large amounts of dust over a long period of time in barns. Perhaps you episodes are caused by a reaction to something other than gluten? Have you had your antibody levels checked to see whether you are still being exposed to gluten?
