Very old debate, but maybe it can help somebody. I went gluten free 9 months ago. I experimented with my diet, and couldn't digest simple sugars(not even fruits) without quite big flatulacne. I had bad balanced diet. Just after few days of this diet I started smell really bad. When I was stupid so I didn't take any vitamin supplements(I thought that eating...

mommida: It's clear why they can't call that celiac if you can't find food triggers. But why not autoimmune? Good luck with that.

You told you was on gluten diet and it was bad. Then you stopped and it was fine. Then you started again and it was bad again. Why don't you go out off gluten diet again and it will be fine again(possibly)? You need someone to tell you that you are celiac? Your mom already told you. Give it a try and you'll see, can't lose anything. In fact, maybe you'll...

I found thread about food alergies. There is man with nick "DogtorJ". He is only veterinar, but he is writing that there are only 4 foods that can damage vili. Gluten, Soy, Milk and Corn. Other allergies are only secondary in his opinion.

mommida: But celiac and alergy are both inapropriate imune responses to something harmless. Celiac is autoimune because it destroys your own body. But if alergy to (for example) corn can make same damage to intestines it's autoimmune too so I still can't understand the difference.

So why there are no diseases as corniak,soyliak,or otherfoodliak, only celiak if they can do same damage? I know it's only naming, but it makes impression that celiac is unique for some reason, is it? Is there any chance that some alergies will go away with time, even if I won't exclude these foods from diet?

Are there any similar alergies (or diseases )like celiac disease that can flatten your villi? I went gluten free 9 months ago(wasn't diagnosed, it was kind of "what will happen" experiment after I felt bad after eating gluten). I was gassy from all kind of foods, mostly disacharides, even fruits. I had tonsil stones in both tonsils. After 4-5 months tonsil...
