This was mentioned in another forum, and I thought it might be of interest to some here: an article by another super sensitive gal, and what it's been like for her.

It's from a Canadian perspective, but definitely interesting. I was intrigued by her comments on having prescription tryptophan after she's been glutened, and how that helped with her seratonin crash.

Thanks for sharing that. It was a pretty good article. It's comforting to know that there are other super sensitives like us out there.

Despite occasional bouts of gas, I think I can survive without the charcoal underwear liners.

They could come in handy on camping trips, if you have trouble lighting the campfire.

I don't think that she was talking about gas when she suggested the charcoal liners. Some of us have pretty severe symptoms when we're glutened.

There is a whole thread for "The Funny Pages . . . " - here is the link:

The Flat-D site looks good, and they have a clip from The Doctors where it was mentioned: Open Original Shared Link . From the site,

Flat-D Innovations, an FDA registered and Better Business Bureau Accredited company, is the market leader for over 8 years in flatulence odor control products, feminine odors, and clothes odor. The company's patented products feature activated charcoal cloth that has improved the quality of life for people in over 50 countries worldwide. Flat-D intestinal gas or flatus deodorizing products are in a thin cloth form and are similar to charcoal underwear or a flatulence ( fart ) filter are doctor recommended and used by individuals with gastric bypass odor, ostomy smells, irritable bowel syndrome, lactose intolerance, celiac, crohn's and other rectal issues.

I really enjoyed how the OP article addressed the value of EZ Gluten tests - it was really cool how she articulated that she originally dismissed their value . . . only to turn around and find them so useful. And I appreciated her summary of her test results - invaluable information IMHO!!

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.
