Ok so i been eating rice and my gluten free diet full of rice foods. the acid reflux has stopped but i been taking some digestive enzymes (papaya works best) and some gluten free, fiber powder you dissolve in your drinks. The acid reflux has stopped and bloating has been going down but now i have some new symptoms. 1 i been having mucus in stool accompanied by- i believe the term is the bubble guts feeling- sometimes its diarrhea and sometimes its not. Now im freaking out that i have developed crohns disease also. Idk why but is this a sign of healing? Has this happened to anyone? I cant tolerate alot of dairy so occasionally i eat a little mayo with the sandwhich i make (shredded baked chicken with a little bit of mayo and cut grapes) But i dont get why there would be alot of mucus??? help :/ I go see my doctor tomorrow but of course i would like to know so i can sleep tonight because i have been having sleep issues. Anxiety is a big cause and plus i think i've developed insomnia. helpppppp :/

OMG, Heidi! That's soooooo grosssss! :D

I think this happens to lots of people as they are just starting out. I had a lot of stuff that looked like sand. Sometimes, I think all that inflammation and gunk (highly technical medical term)is just making is way out. Tell your doctor. one or 2 times is probably not a big deal. Relax.

Are you aware that there is probably soy in your mayo? Food manufacturers began adding it to mayo a few years ago--and, quite frankly, it causes me terrible digestive distress. One brand, Smart Balance, is the only mayo I can tolerate...but, to be honest, I've pretty much given up mayo. There's soy in canned tuna now, too, in case you'd like to know. However, the canned tuna from Trader Joe's and Whole Foods are both fine.

I don't get the cause for the mucus though. And the strong crampy feeling that's not always associated with going number 2. I just don't get it. The other day it was painful

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
