    OK, does anyone has any general or personal information how bad is beer for celiac disease?

    It's not me, but someone raised the question, if the 2 tests mentioned (DGP and TT) are specific only for antibodies for gliadins (in wheat) or also for hordeins (in barley) and secalins (in rye). No biopsy or genetic testing has been done. At this point, it's a theoretical question.

    I'm trying to figure out a case when someone who had mild "IBS" symptoms was positive for celiac by 2 tests: deamidated gliadin peptide IgG and transglutaminase IgA. After stopping drinking beer (barley), but continuing consuming wheat and rye, symptoms disappeared.

    ARCHIVED Acne

    boron replied to Natalie1980's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Acne are not itchy or only mildly itchy and they look like red bumps with or without white centers. The bumps are quite separated from each other. What did you start to eat after going gluten-free? More fruits and sugary foods? This can trigger acne. Open Original Shared Link Dermatitis herpetiformis can be very itchy and the bumps are more close together...

    Due to celiac disease, you can have fructose malabsorption or lactose intolerance or both at the same time. When your celiac disease is not active, fructose malabsorption and lactose intolerance should subside too. Unless you have them independently of celiac disease.

    Corn and corn starch are OK in fructose malabsorption. Foods to avoid in FM are those that contain more fructose than glucose. Sucrose, for example, which contains equal parts of fructose and glucose, should not be a problem. Here's a brief explanation of fructose malabsorption with a list of foods to avoid.

    Sarah, if your pain (and tenderness) is mainly in your upper left abdomen, you may have "gas pain" or with a fancy term "splenic flexure syndrome" (splenic flexure is a part of colon that runs near the spleen). Open Original Shared Link The pain is caused by a collection of gas in that part of the colon - in people with "sensitive" colon, often...

    Bloating can be caused by sweeteners called polyols or "sugar alcohols:" sorbitol, xylitol, maltitol and mannitol. These sweeteners are not absorbed in the small intestine, so they travel to the large intestine, where the normal intestinal bacteria break them down and produce gases. You can found polyols in "sugar-free chewing gum, " diet soda and such...

    Theoretically they can break your gallstones in a similar way as they break kidney stones (lithotripsy), but they won't do this in all hospitals. A single big stone may be much less problematic than small stones, which can leave the gallbladder and lodge in the bile duct, which can cause severe pain. Breaking a big gallstone can cause exactly this... They...

    Systemic yeast overgrowth in individuals with normal immunity is a myth. Everyone can get fungal infection on the skin, but usually only people with impaired immunity (AIDS, chemotherapy, steroid treatment, immunosuppressants) get systemic candidiasis. If you will have a stool test for candida, of course they will find some candida, because it is a part...

    I also think this is more likely a neurological (possibly brain) issue, because it it unilateral. Celiac disease can be associated with malabsorption of B complex vitamins, which can cause numbness, but this would be likely bilateral. I strongly suggest you to go to a doctor soon.

    Yellow stool, when actually yellow, not just pale, can occur every time when the stool moves throught the bowel fast, so the bile in it does not have enought time to convert into the brown color as it normally does, but remains yellow. So, yellow stool by itself can't tell anything more specific than the stool is moving fast through your bowel from any reason...

    FODMAPs can cause bloating and diarrhea in active celiac disease, because of malabsorption, but less likely when your intestinal lining is normal. FODMAPs can also cause problems in lactose intolerance, fructose malabsorption, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and irritable bowel syndrome. Problematic nutrients: Lactose - in milk or products...

    By going gluten free your fiber intake might decreased. Low fiber intake slows down intestinal motility and makes stool harder. If this is the case, you may want to try some foods high in insoluble fibers, such as non-starchy vegetables. Soluble fiber, for example, in legumes, can cause bloating. Some foods high in soluble and insoluble fiber: Open Original...

    If a certain food does not cause any symptoms, a positive IgG test alone should not be a reason to avoid that food. Presence of IgG antibodies means previous exposure to that food and not an allergy to it.

    If a gel contains more fructose than glucose, it may cause bloating and loose stools, but this would be an issue only if you lean toward fructose malabsorption.

    Combined food intolerances are common. Lactose intolerance can trigger or worsen fructose malabsorption, for example. Another issue is that malabsorbed nutrients feed bacteria and can lead to small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), which in turn worsen a food intolerance. When you solve the original problem, the additional intolerances often improve...

    Celiac disease often goes with either lactose intolerance or fructose malabsorption. In the later, many (but noat all) fruits can't be tolerated, sometimes also vegetables like carrots, artichoke, asparagus, onions. Main culprit substances in these foods are fructose and sorbitol.

    Mood swings, or not exactly swings, but depression, is characteristic in FRUCTOSE MALABSORPTION. A person suffering from this, should limit foods with fructose and sorbitol. Fructose is in fruits and in high fructose corn syrup, sorbitol is in stone fruits and in many "low-calorie" foods and drinks, also in "sugar free" chewing gum. Other sugar alcohols,...

    Frec, if you're still reading this...How do you know that candida is your problem? Intestinal candida overgrowth goes with bloating, diarrhea, sugar craving, brain fog, and more...but these are the most typical symptoms. After starting candida diet, characteristc candida die-off symptoms (like hangover) appear. The point of candida diet is to avoid monosaccharides...

    It is FRUCTOSE MALABSORPTION which many people (and doctors!) are not aware of. @Katester...it may just be that fruit smoothies which may be a problem. Eggs could be a problem in fat malabsorption, but this would go with obvious intestinal/pancreatic/gallbladder disease. Eggs allergy is common in children.

    If you "only have fructose malabsorption (FM) (and not much more severe hereditary fructose intolerance) then you don't need to avoid all fructose, but only amount which is above your personal tolerance threshold. Beside that, fructose amount is not the most important thing. Sugar (sucrose) has 5og of fructose in 100g, but is well tolerated by most persons...
