How Do You Know If You Are Super Sensitive?

How do you know if you are a super sensitive celiac or super sensitive to gluten? I can eat almost anything and not feel sick. I went to the GI because of the diarehha,weight lost, iron anemia. HE DID a endoscopy and the biopsy said most likely celiac. i had a celiac panel and other celiac related blood test done after being gluten free for a couple weeks. it came back saying i have celiac sprue. after the biopsy i was thinking it was something else, but since the celiac panel and other test were positive for celiac i am actually a little releived. I KNOW THIS IS LIFE CHANGING. I will try my best to stay gluten free and pray for the best.

I do have like eczema or some type of rash all over my legs and some on my arms. i was wondering if this could be related?

You react to things that don't usually make the average celiac sick. Some of us, myself included get really sick from anything processed and labeled gluten free.

Your rash is probably related. I get something similar when glutened. It could be DH as well.

Most people would not consider themselves super sensitive until they had ben on the diet for a few months, had taken all possible precautions to avoid gluten or cross-contamination from gluten, had eliminated other possible causes for symptoms (such as additional intolerances like dairy), and were still experiencing almost constant symptoms of glutening.

I don't think you can tell if you are Super sensitive until you have done the gluten-free diet really well for at least 6 months. It takes time to heal & get in the "groove". And to make sure its not milk or something else prolonging the GI issues.

You need to get the basics down before you can tell if you need to delve further and to lower levels of gluten than the majority of Celiacs.

In answer to your other question, it is possible that yes, your rashes are related to celiac.

Many of us have had rashes and sores clear up since going gluten free. It takes time for you to see symptoms improve, so try to be patient. :)

If you have DH, eczema or psoriasis, those are diagnosed and often treated with medications, along with the gluten-free diet.

Best wishes!

      I was diagnosed with celiac 15 years ago.

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      This may not be the cause, it's pure speculation on my part, but for 10-15 years I had a tingling/burning/electric-like shock sensation that emanated from my right-neck upward across the right-side of my head. I was worried about having a stroke or something so got all sorts of tests done, including an MRI, which found not much--only a minor degenerative...

      My question is it possible that Barley is OK > I know wheat gives me stomach pain, rash, and severe diarrhea.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This may not be the cause, it's pure speculation on my part, but for 10-15 years I had a tingling/burning/electric-like shock sensation that emanated from my right-neck upward across the right-side of my head. I was worried about having a stroke or something so got all sorts of tests done, including an MRI, which found not much--only a minor degenerative disk in my neck--which I just accepted as the cause. Fast forward to when I was ~45 and I was hit with shingles in the EXACT place that this sensation would travel--I ended up with a very painful case of shingles that felt like the right-side of my head had been set on fire, and had the blistering and pain that ran along the exact path of nerves that I had felt this sensation travel along for the prior 10-15 years. For me, this was a shingles warning, and all those feelings were likely inflammation in my nerves. Needless to say I've not had this since getting my shingles vaccines at 50.  Your situation could very well be something else, but I just wanted to mention this possibility because your symptoms sound similar to what I experienced. I'm not sure if you're in the age range to get a shingles vaccine, but it may be something to consider.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Richard Rusnak! The short answer is "No". Barley is a gluten-containing grain. The three gluten-containing grains are wheat, barley and rye.  Barley and rye contain less gluten than wheat but still should be avoided. Understand that smaller amounts of gluten may not produce a noticeable reaction in so far as symptoms go, but they still may be causing some inflammation in the gut. Products derived from gluten-containing grains should also be avoided, for instance malt and malt flavoring.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.
