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.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
