I wasn't sure where to post this but my wife has been trying to get me to eat gluten free bread but every time I do I get massive stomach aches as well as very loose bowel and blood on the toilet paper but not in the bowl. I can't find anyone with similar problems and I just need some help!? Is this normal should gluten free bread do this to me? I can eat gluten free cookies and crackers and brownies but gluten free bread tears me up! Any suggestions?

Hi Monkeyface! Welcome to the boards. We are prolly going to need more information than what you have given. Can you tell us what your eating? Are you still eating gluten in other forms? What brand of gluten-free bread are you eating? Have you seen a doctor? Any tests done? Any other information might be helpful.

What your experiencing in the bathroom, is that every time you go? Recently? Long term? Are you bloating? Pain? (honestly that sounds a lot that what I went and am going through)

It could be soy or dairy... you may develop other (hopefully short lived) intolerances while your autoimmune system is in attack mode. The way I looked at it was I removed the beast my cells were attacking. Everything was good for a very little while. Then my AI system got all ramped up about anything that was similar in protein structure to gluten. I couldn't do egg for awhile either.

Right now, you're best off with whole foods, nothing processed. Root vegetables have been good for me, especially ones I didn't eat regularly before.

So get your starch from a roasted rutabega, your protein from whatever fish, poultry, pork or b

Same here. I can't tolerate many things temporarily until my intestinal lining heals. In my case, on top of gluten, I also get the same reaction right now from rice, corn, eggs, and nightshade plants (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers). I am assured by my Dr that I will be able to eat these other things again in time, and I've read posts on here where people say they can start eating something again. It's encouraging, but it does take time to get there. I sort feel like I'm in boot camp right now, but there will be a payoff!

I will admit that I am not comepletaly gluten free just moved not a whole lot of spare money but the only time this happens is when I eat gluten free bread I've tried several different brands and they all do the same thing the only thing that doesn't upset my stomach is pita....but that has gluten.

Wow! I thought this post could have been my husband. He has had some problems, but I think he has them after he eats at work. He also calls himself monkeyface.

Maybe a simalar problem causes my family not to be able to eat gluten?

I realized it could not have been my husband when Monkey Face said they eat gluten free cookies and stuff. I stay away from sweets.

First bit of advice: cut out the gluten as much as humanly possible.

You're probably having trouble with gluten-free bread because (depending on what it's made of) it can contain a lot of stuff your body probably isn't familiar with yet -bean flours and such. If you're still eating gluten deliberately, then you haven't given your body time to a: heal from all the damage, or b: adjust to all the new things your making it digest. It takes time to heal and to be able to eat a lot of things without problems.

I know eating gluten-free can be expensive and a hassle, but be strict and stick to it now, and you'll feel better much quicker.

As other posters have said, dairy and soy can be a problem as well, but you have to make sure the gluten is gone before you worry about something else affecting you.

Also, when choosing a gluten-free bread, try something as organic as possible, preferably fresh if you can get it (it's pricier, but often better for you in the longrun), or try making your own.

Good luck and feel better!

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes...

Click the links to compare nutritional values.  Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.  I use them as a gluten free substitute for a peanut butter sandwich.  Try her on grass fed, pasture fed milk. While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.

      Thank you for the kind words! I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating gluten daily for weeks beforehand. Many have already gone gluten-free during their pre-screening period, thus their test results end up false negative, leaving them confused and sometimes untreated. It is sad that so few doctors attended your workshops, but it doesn't surprise me. It seems like the protocols for any type of screening should just pop up on their computer screens whenever any type of medical test is ordered, not just for celiac disease--such basic technological solutions could actually educate those in the medical community over time.

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 seem to be more sensitive to minor amounts of gluten exposure than those with just one of those genes and those with only DQ2 seem to be more sensitive than those with only DQ8. But there are probably many factors that influence the damage rate to the villi as well as intensity of reaction to exposure. There is still a lot we don't know. One of the gray areas is in regard to those who are "silent" celiacs, i.e. those who seem to be asymptomatic or whose symptoms are so minor that they don't garner attention. When they get a small exposure (such as happens in cross contamination) and have no symptoms does that equate to no inflammation? We don't necessarily know. The "sensitive" celiac knows without a doubt, however, when they get exposure from cross contamination and the helps them know better what food products to avoid.
