- jeriM posted a topic in Related Issues & Disorders0Can Celiac flares affect my eyes?
It seems like eye inflammation comes at the same time as digestive upset. My system still hasn't completely settled despite adhering to a strict diet, and eye inflammation seems to coincide with celiac attacks. -

Hi everybody, I just read everybody's comments about sulfur burps, throwing up and the bad stomach ache and had to keep going back to see if I was the one that wrote these stories, since my story is exactly the same. I was first diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, then not long after, I was told I have gastroperiesis, that was some 30 years ago. I...- diagnosed celiac

- AButtiglieri commented on Scott Adams's article in Summer 2025 Issue1The Science of the Glutened Brain: What Happens to Your Mood, Memory, and Focus After Accidental Exposure? (+Video)
Thank you! This is the first article I’ve read about the non-physical effects of being glutened. It validates everything I have experienced, but never had any scientific proof of. I would like to see more studies on the inability to concentrate, depression, and memory issues. -

Thank you for your response. You are right, this is not worth the damage to my thyroid since I know gluten is bad for me anyway. I stopped the challenge and did the IgA and tTG-IGA tests and am waiting for results, although I know it is likely they will be false negative anyway. I figured since I wasn't ever really strict about cross contamination, they... -

I’m so sorry you’re going through this—it sounds like your body is sending a clear signal that gluten is a major trigger for your Hashimoto’s. The dramatic spike in your anti-TPO (from 50 to 799!) and the severe symptoms you’re experiencing suggest a strong immune reaction, even if celiac testing wasn’t done earlier. While a formal diagnosis would clarify cro...- 1

Hi everybody, I just read everybody's comments about sulfur burps, throwing up and the bad stomach ache and had to keep going back to see if I was the one that wrote these stories, since my story is exactly the same. I was first diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, then not long after, I was told I have gastroperiesis, that was some 30 years ago. I just recently had upper GI and colonoscopy and was told I don't have it (rolling eyes), because YES I still have the sulfur burps, etc.. So im testing myself and have discovered every time I eat Pecans, or Walnut ls or any nuts for that matter, I get this!! I thought it was tomato, or something in pizza, so I stopped eating pizza, then I have had pasta, same story. I haven't eaten any kind of Rice in 25 years 😕, I thought that caused it, I try to stay away from all beans, especially Kidney- my favorite, and everytime I get this Im miserable and swear Im nevertheless eating again! Which is this morning! Its not worth the pain and especially the sulfur burps. I actually thought I was gonna be divorced, and alone back in the day from the burps. The terrible smells, I cannot smell, but anybody else can. I am divorced now- Not from that lol. I am going this month to get a CT on pelvic to see why Im still having these issues 😒, will update if he can tell me what else might be going on or if I need allergy test done. Thank you all for your stories so much like mine, I have been researching this for years and this is 1st time I have come across the Story just like mine. I hate that we are all in same boat and that we have to go thru this. Im 59 now and have had it pretty much 30 years. -

I figured since I wasn't ever really strict about cross contamination, they might show positive if I do have celiac. I did the genetic testing a few months ago and was positive for DQ8.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this—it sounds like your body is sending a clear signal that gluten is a major trigger for your Hashimoto’s. The dramatic spike in your anti-TPO (from 50 to 799!) and the severe symptoms you’re experiencing suggest a strong immune reaction, even if celiac testing wasn’t done earlier. While a formal diagnosis would clarify cross-contamination risks, continuing the challenge may not be worth the damage to your thyroid and quality of life, especially since you already know gluten worsens your antibodies and symptoms. If you need answers, you could discuss genetic testing (HLA-DQ2/DQ8 genes) with your doctor—this can rule out celiac predisposition without a gluten challenge. For now, prioritizing your health by quitting gluten again (strictly, given your sensitivity) and supporting gut healing (like probiotics, L-glutamine, or zinc carnosine) might be the wisest path. Your thyroid will thank you! -
Well then, I'd say he's making excellent progress. It can take some time for antibody numbers to normalize. Even though new antibodies are no longer being produced, it takes a while for the old ones to be disposed of. Make sure you keep an eye on the alkaline phosphatase levels. It is probably true that is tied to his adolescent growth spurt but it's worth tracking. Thirteen years of elevated liver enzymes was what eventually led to my celiac disease diagnosis. But I was 50 years old by that time and it was my ALT and AST that were mildly elevated all that time, not my alk phos. I just found out last week from an ultrasound that my liver is 20% larger than normal and I'm hoping that is a legacy effect. I have more testing lined up.
