never reaching a point where you feel good enough to start testing any foods, or know what your "glutened" symptoms are :(

The absolutely astounding lack of knowledge and coordination among practitioners in the medical community.

Getting a diagnosis. All my specialists, my kids GI (who is a world renowned celiac specialist) and my GP all agree that I couldn't not have celiac, but because of the stupid rules on diag here I can't be diagnosed!! I hate that, drives me insane. Because when I'm in hospital and stuff its all like "I need gluten free" blah blah "haven't got an official diag...blah blah" and then their faces glaze over and they get that look in their eyes like a "we are dealing with one of *them* " looks and then I have to worry about wether they are going to take my gluten-free request seriously and am scared to eat the whole time. Arrrghhhh!

I have a really bad affliction, I can't lie...or even fib ever, my mother thought it was the best thing ever when I was a teenager - she knew about everything at all times!!

That you cannot eat gluten...c'mon...this was obvious. :)

Chad, your last comment made me chuckle. :) For me, it is the lack of spontaneity. I am a real foodie and I miss walking through the city I live in exploring new restaurants without having a care.

The smell of Wetzel's Pretzels. I've never eaten there but I like to stand in front of them for a few minutes and imagine tasting whatever that scent is.

That we can't even trust the "gluten free" options at most restaurants. Well meaning friends say, "such and such a place has gluten free pizza now!" Not a chance my super-sensitive celiac husband could eat it safely. Stupid cross-contamination.

Pseudo-Celiacs

Hate that! I just had an argument with someone today who says that her whole family has coeliac but none of them has been tested (along with a myriad of other medical complaints)- then she tells people on the internet just to go gluten free without testing. Drives me mad. Its like she wants her family to be coeliac. Whereas my family have been in sickness hell for years with two sick children in and out of hospitals and heaps of tests, borderline results. A) I would never dream of just deciding its Coeliac (although I think it is) and B) I would never tell anyone not to get tested. What if its something else? Something worse that is making the kids sick???

But what if it is gluten intolerance and you can make them better just by not giving them gluten? I would never tell someone not to get tested, but I would never tell someone to poison their child just for the sake of a stupid test which might not be accurate and which may not mean that it is not gluten that is the problem either. Adults can make up their own minds whether or not to poison themselves, for testing, but forcing your kids to be ill is a different question in my book. There are no accurate tests (yet) for ncgi.

No, she was telling people even before going gluten free to not get the blood test. No one is saying do a challenge. We are talking about chronically ill children as well - so what if it isn't even anything to do with celiac - or what if its celiac and something else? My son had a borderline celiac tests - he is much much better gluten free - but it has become clear that there is also something else going on. How would you ever know any of that with no testing. All I was saying is do the blood test and if its neg then go gluten free - but do the test first. Also - she keeps going on about how Celiac is an allergy etc. She doesn't know anything about it and yet she is giving advice on it? There is nothing worse than people talking about anything medical when they know nothing about it.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference. I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me. At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university. I went gluten free. I...

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis. While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels. Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten. celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has...

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference.  I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me.  At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university.  I went gluten free.  I started taking vitamins according to my nutritional deficiency symptoms.  Vitamins worked.  My health improved.  Now I'm here to help others.  Celiac disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition.  Doctors don't recognize the symptoms of Celiac disease and malnutrition. Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing and digestion, improves diabetes and neuropathy and much more.  TTFD (Thiamax or TTFD-B1 Max) helps with brain function, neuropathy and lots more.  Every cell in the body needs thiamine to make energy so the cell can function.  Without sufficient thiamine, mitochondria die.  Every cell also needs thiamine and the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine has antiviral and antibacterial properties.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a lot of carbohydrates.  The more carbs one eats the more thiamine is needed to process them into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine, the body stores the carbs as fat. This is called high calorie malnutrition.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a gluten free diet.  Gluten free flours and processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts.  Meats are the best sources of thiamine, but some veggies (beans, potatoes, squash) and fruits (citrus and berries) contain some thiamine.    Explore thiamine more here: https://hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-causes-problems/

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis.  While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels.  Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten.  celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has to self repair in addition to the nutritional deficiencies.   Nonceliac Gluten Sensitivity Dr. Weston Price's research in the 1930s showed that diets rich in minerals and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D3, K2) promoted well-mineralized teeth, while deficiencies led to weaker enamel. Fatty liver, Intermittent diarrhea, Severe abdominal distension Choline deficiency causes abnormal deposition of fat in the liver, which results in a condition called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. In some people, choline deficiency causes muscle damage. https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/other-nutrients/choline    Choline is a large part if the bile salts for fat digestion, Acetycholine, a neural transmitter, mitochondria membrane structure, and along with folate, B12, and B6 recycles homocysteine  High homocysteine can damage artery linings. Low vitamin D levels are associated with increased symptoms of depression and anxiety,  autoimmune diseases and most of your symptoms.
