I'm not sure what you mean about soya? I don't eat it in any form, whether oil or lecithin or flour or TVP or whatever, and I don't eat anything that was made on shared lines or equipment or "may contain traces of" soya.

also, getting the hernia fixed is not an option until at least september 2012, barring emergency. besides, that is a MAJOR surgery that I don't want to go thru if I don't have to.

You mentioned that you ate ice cream about a month ago. Which brand / flavor was it?

In your signature you mention that you are attempting to avoid MSG. If you were completely soy-free, MSG consumption would not be an option.

Huh? MSG is usually manufactured with bacterial fermentation. Hydrolyzed soy protein always contains MSG but nothing I've ever read suggests that MSG always contains soy.

Protein-rich foods take a fair amount of stomach acid and enzymes to digest properly. Getting your acid checked sounds sensible.

Water was the absolute worst thing for my GERD, it got to the point where I had to swallow and re-swallow again and again just to get one mouthful down. Also having a tablespoon of vinegar when you have an attack. Not sure how effective it is but my DH swears by it and I have heard others say it works as well. Not malt obviously.

Yeah - sounds like you are malabsorpting something alright. Good luck with finding out what it is!

I checked the ice cream for soy ingredients, but as it had dairy that gave me symptoms, I don't see how that's an issue since I don't eat dairy anymore.

also, my diet is 100% MSG free right now just because of happenstance. I think the only msg I ever really got was at gluten-free restaurants or possibly in broths or something. I should change my signature maybe.

I did not state that MSG always contains soy. However, MSG could possibly be a source of soy. As a celiac, you know well enough that "usually manufactured" just isn't good enough.

Were mono / diglycerides in the ingredient list of your ice cream?

I don't remember, but the point is irrelevant now because that was over month ago and I haven't had any since.

Are you sure what you are experiencing is acid reflux? I ask because that's what my doctor's keep telling me is my problem, but I'm beginning to believe it isn't. I have chronic urticaria (mostly just itchy skin), but I think I also experience it in my tongue/throat, and I believe it is irritated and flares every time I eat or drink anything. My tongue feels thick and I have stomach and chest pain. My esophagus also feels like there is a lump or squeezing in it. I'm still working on figuring it all out. The acid blockers either don't do anything or cause gas and more stomach pain. The reason I'm thinking you might have something similar is because you said you experience symptoms whenever you eat or drink. I don't really know. I'm just throwing out another idea for you to consider.

Have you ever had your gallbladder looked at? You can have a dysfunctioning gallbladder without having gall stones.

When I was malabsorbing terrible I started on creon. It is available by prescription. It is a pancreatic enzyme, but more potent that what you get over the counter. I took it for three months. Now I only take it if I get glutened somehow. It helps with the malabsorption I get that occurs with the glutening.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed...

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
