Coeliac Disease, Almond Intorleracne And Dairy Intolerance?

Hi all,

I'm a new member and have been gluten free since 2006.

I have an intolerance to gluten but have had the blood test and endoscopy both of which show that i'm not coeliac. However I've had a long standing intoleracne to dairy items as well as all the gastrointestinal symptoms of coeliac disease. doctors have suggested IBS. Recently I've been eating a lot of almonds and have noticed a severe intestinal reaction to them - that Im quite sure I never had before. I've been experinecing it for some months, only today I decided to look it up and found it on this site that the almond intolerance is linked to coeliac disease. Also the manner in which that people talked about it is identical - down to the time frame, amounts and stool information - sorry for gross details.

Now I wonder is it possible for coeliac disease not to show on an endoscopy? is it more likely that the gluten free diet is exposing this? is it possible that at the time of the endoscopy it was latent? or is it more like conicedental that there is a relation and likely to be just a almond intolerance.

I also wonder if I should go back to my doctors.

Yes, it is certainly possible for Celiac to not show up on the endoscopy. Happens to many people. And yes, a gluten-free diet does tend to make other food intolerances/allergies begin to show up.

It is also possible that the almonds are contaminated.

I agree. The almonds you had could have had a flavor enhancing coating or just simply sent down the same mass production system as other gluten laden foods. Maybe try almonds that are labeled gluten free to see if they bother you? I have found that I am MORE tolerant of dairy products now that I have been gluten free for several months. BUT I am also fighing vertigo since going gluten free and wondering if somehow all this is connected.

Good luck.

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
