ARCHIVED Ibs Or Really A Gluten Problem?
sonja69 replied to CAS221's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
hi, forget about IBS and drs as well. as been said before, IBS is a diagnosis for drs who either have no clue or are too lazy or ignorant. something will irritate your bowel and it might be gluten. so, where to start is cutting it out of your diet, but be aware of all hidden sources and cross-contamination (you'll find a plenty of infos on this board) ... -
ARCHIVED Devastated! Everything's Fine With Me?
sonja69 replied to sonja69's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
hi again! before all my problems got really bad (some years ago) I ate a various diet. now I am always afraid of eating something, I might react to something. I mostly eat 2 hard eggs and 2 rice cakes every morning. coffee with lactosefree milk (but after today oatmilk) meat and rice/potatoes/gluten-free pasta (rarely) and some lettuce, brokkoli... -

hi nora, thanx for the wishes. we'll see. at my work place I cleaned up the desktop and keybord immediatly by going glutenfree. I am glutenfree now for 48 days, and except the germany time, I feel like always. bloated, nauseuos. a little better, since now more headaches, but this might have other reasons, might be a coincidence. the nausea has actually... -

hi nora, thanx for all answers and comments! I just don not mind to cut out more food, I just cannot imagine, why I am good in germany, and as soon I am here, I am bad again. does not make sense unless there were some hidden gluten sources. i just could blame the grinded coffee, the rice cakes I ate before (the producer claimed that they have gluten... -
hi autumn, you may think about the possibility of being fructoseintolerant, which can cause diarrhea. you can test it by yourself with cutting out high fructose veggies and fruits and sugars of course. or dare to drink 25g pure fructose in water in the morning on empty stomach. best wishes and good luck, Sonja

sonja69 replied to sonja69's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi Jestgar, yeah, I kind of suspect this, since I always feel worse there. but maybe it's because I am sitting there in tighter clothes, since at home I mostly have really casual comfort clothes due to my extended stomach. I could not imagine what this can be, I have my own office, and I never drink water or coffee from there. mysterious. thanx, Sonja -

hi nora, I am cautious abot wheat starch too, so I do not eat it. the dr called yesterday, the biopsy is fine of course and now I 'have' IBS (it's not the first doctor who said this after testing 2 or 3 things). I do not know what doctors do nowadays, they have no ideas. when there is aproblem it's IBS. whatever, I'll remain glutenfree for a while since... -

hi nora, thanks for your reply! I am sorry for you, I hope you can fix the problem soon. It's not that bad in my case I think, I did/do not smell the mold and bought something to dry the corner out. I am posting this because it is probably mold-related. Have you noticed any reaction to citric acid too? no, I don't think so. since I almost never eat... -

hi nora, I know how to 'fight' against the mold. it's not my flat, I just rent it. and its not that bad that my clothes would smell, it's in one corner and I hope it's getting better now with all the actions, although I really do feel like crap today, again. what article do you mean? I may have access to Lancet through work, so maybe you can post a... -

hi, I did not have time to buy the bleach yet, I hope it is not difficult to find here. I used a spray for cleaning electrical contacts, it's very hazardous to aquatic biota, to get rid of the first mold and it worked fine. but I'll test the bleach too. I also bought an air purifier, although it seems to make things worse, since now it's actually smelling... -

oh thanks so much guys, I really appreciate your help!!!! vinegar (high concentrated 25%) was just a temporarily weapon, since I had nothing else in the house. and I read it somewhere, thats too acid for fungi. but bleach? what kind? normal bleach for laundry? do anyone know a brand or where I should look for? You and the forum is so much help. I felt... -

hi ravenwoodglass! Have you tried eliminating the gluten-free oats for a month or two? I haven't read thru the whole thread so I may be repeating here but oats have a protein that is very similar to the one in gluten. There are many of us who will react to them. yeah, I know, but I brought the gluten-free oats fro sweden to germany and ate them there... -

'Bloating, gas, gluten intolerance as well as other food intolerance, fatigue, brain-fog....they can all be caused by a yeast overgrowth. Exposure to toxic mold is a big trigger for causing problems with the immune system...and anything that weakens the immune system can trigger such things as Celiac and/or candida issues. Yeast overgrowth is quite common... -

Hi Rachel, thanks for all hints, ideas, thoughts. I often thought about candida and also tokk medicine against it for a while, but I do not really belive, it's candida. as I wrote,I was so much better in germany, but being here at my home again, I was immediatly sick again. I did no change the diet, i.e. I ate the same food (like gluten-free bread... -

hi Valda, thanx for reading and answering. No, unfortunately I cannot stay with a friend, but I will find what's the problem is. I might move soon from here anyway. today it's a better day. at least a little bit. I thought more deeply and think it was the chicken, the handling of the wheat flour, the catfood, or maybe the rice cakes. they are different... -

Hi Jen, I have also a negative diagnosis.

yes, Valda you are principally right. but still it's confusing. I was not really well in germany, but much better, although I lived in a glutencontaminated home. as soon I come back to my flat here in sweden, I have the old symptoms as ever, and the most bothering is the bloating since I am feeling stuffed and full all the time although I am hungry and... -

Hi all! thanks for your comments. glutened by the cat food, I cannot imagine that, but it seems that everything is possible with this desease. it's really hard to get cat food without wheat contents or other grains. but I can try to handle it more carefully. other things I checked in my head: I use lactosefree milk and oatmilk sometimes (brand oatly,... -
