    The beer is full of gluten. That could be enough to keep your intestines from being able to digest or absorb all of those other things. Even if you only drink it once in a while. Millions of villi are destroyed by ingesting gluten even in tiny amounts. It means your antibodies are always reacting. I don't think you will be able to resolve those other...

    Yes, Rosetapper23 is absolutely right. You are going to be amazed if you try Primal eating. I don't have the book, but you can frequent the websites that advocate this way of eating. Mark's Daily Apple is absolutely wonderful...full of information and research and dietary suggestions. Perfect for Celiac's just as she said. I also go to Caveman Power...

    Mason brand Daily Multiple Vitamins with Iron was recommended by my pharmacist. It doesn't have the minerals so therefore it is iodine free. I supplement the minerals separately. Nature Made vitamins are usually my choice but I couldn't find a multi without iodine. The Mason tablets have a coating with food coloring in it. Yellow #5 and #6 so I have to...

    ARCHIVED Nausea!

    eatmeat4good replied to watata's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    The nausea lasted several weeks for me. It was like my stomach didn't know what to do even with gluten free food. I took Promethazine for a few weeks and it made a big difference. It's a prescription, but if you are really miserable with nausea it really helps. There is a withdrawal period and you can have all kinds of symptoms from that, but eventually your...

    I think you just did the most diagnostic test there is for Celiac by eliminating Gluten and feeling better and having your symptoms resolved. A lot of us don't have the diagnosis from a Dr. You would have to eat 2 to 3 slices of bread a day for 3 months to have any chance of testing positive and then you could still test negative even though gluten...

    Do you Bake or do you have a fryer?

    Yes...I've had lot's of times I was only able to pass mucous and oil water...before I found out what was wrong. I have a question though. Did this happen just from trace gluten? That happened to me as I was eating gluten every day. I'm just curious if you don't mind sharing. How did you get glutened this time? It will stop when the gluten is out of...

    A lot of people use Enterolab. I chose not to get tested. I will stay gluten free and will think of myself as Celiac whether I can proclaim it or not. Some of my Dr.'s have said just stay gluten free since you know it is working. But whenever I go to a specialist they want me to get the official diagnosis through testing...I don't even think they realize...

    My DH was never diagnosed by a Dr. It was VERY sensitive to the sun. You could be on the right path. It took mine an entire year being gluten free and I still have 4 small sores. However, don't lose hope. If you eliminate gluten then the reactivity of these sores/blisters/hives/DH lesions will be waaay less than it was. The burning and itching will...

    Hey Pricklypear1971? Where did you read that salicylates go with DH???? For the longest time that is what I thought my problem was...way before I found out about gluten. Actually I have both....but from time to time test salicylates because I really don't want to be avoiding all of those foods. I'm very curious about this...because I was taking Ibuprofen...

    A gastroenterologist is SUPPOSED to know about Celiac. But that doesn't mean they DO know. Many people remain in pain and undiagnosed for far too long due to Dr.'s not recognizing or testing for Celiac. There are couple of other things you could do. Get vitamin levels checked. The vitamins Celiac's are usually or commonly deficient in are A,E,D,C,K...

    In the US salt is labeled iodized...if it is iodized. There is also salt that is not iodized and it is sold right next to the iodized salt. The salt that is not iodized says this salt does not provide iodide, a necessary nutrient...or something like that. I don't know what you have overseas...but it would pay to find out. There was another poster from...

    For me the key phrase there is "just in the process of getting diagnosed." We have all made newbie mistakes. You have make some allowances for that. Continue to educate her but be forgiving about mistakes...if she is still learning. In the beginning months I glutened myself plenty of times thinking I was making the right choices...then finding out later I...

    be really careful with multi-vitaimin. Almost all multivitamins contain iodine and that may be what keeps your rash going. I had to limit iodine for a few months to get things to calm down. Salty foods, iodized salt and iodine in multi-vitamins and shellfish are all things that can aggravate the rash...sorry you feel so bad. I just wanted to mention the iodine...

    Oh my god that is exactly what my DH looked like...the chin rash looks just exactly like mine did when it first started on my face. Those little blisters got ever larger as it continued to react on the edges...and itch and burn...until I had scratched excoriations in my skin. It moved to my forehead. (mine went on for 7 years) I had the leg rash that looked...

    casein in dairy can also have the opiate effect that gluten has...I resisted that thought in the beginning...I wanted to live on cheese if I couldn't live on bread but neither one are good for me at all. I sure do hope to be one of the ones who can add dairy back someday. I test it once in a while and every time with this result: Darn it. I hope you...

    You can still have Celiac DH even if you tested negative. The tests are not 100% accurate. Many people find that when they go gluten free their symptoms disappear. If you really do have DH it would be a shame to believe the negative tests...they might be wrong. What you are left with then is to try the gluten free diet if you still suspect DH. It may take...

    Welcome! Your symptoms are right in line with Celiac. But you will not know if it is gluten unless you either get tested or give a trial to the gluten free diet and then challenge by eating gluten. Since you are reluctant to be put under, and you don't have a Dr. you could go gluten free and see if it helps your symptoms. However, if you think you ever will...

    I have a friend who just asked me this same question. The machine is expensive and she doesn't want to part with it. However, we determined that you can't really know if it is clean or not on the inside. She thought of grinding a bunch of rice...but how much? And how would you ever know? She would have to plan to take a week off to be sick the first time...

    I have angioedema, DH, and Hashimoto's. Just recently learned about this condition called chronic hives and angioedema...on googling found the low Histamine diet to be recommended for contolling chronic urticaria. I've been gluten free almost a year but still have the facial swelling and puffiness of angioedema. I'm trying Low Histamine diet now...I was just...

    The appearance can vary widely from person to person and over time. My rash moved around to different places on my body and looked different each time, I never dreamed it was all the same rash. I used to get pinpoint tiny blisters that itched and broke and healed in a couple of days...they were on my hands and between my fingers after I baked bread. Years...

    Go to the Dr. and have them test your blood sugar and urine and whatever else they do to test for diabetes. You should get tested frequently if there is diabetes in your family. It could be college stress, but it could also be something more significant. I think it would be perfectly appropriate to express such concerns to your Dr. and have the tests done...

    I have scars too. Some are linear from the scratching and some are white spots where the sores were. I call them sores because the blister stage was so short I hardly knew it was there. Open weeping painful sores is what I had. The ones that healed are totally devoid of pigment and my skin is white there. Any time I go in the sun it aggravates any active...

    My bones ached terribly for 7 years. The long bones mostly...arms and legs...sometimes ribs. I kept getting migraine headaches and bone pain. They misdiagnosed with me with Fibromyalgia and told me it doesn't get any better. I believed that for years until I found this site. My bones ached to the bone and I'm not kidding. I would clutch my arms to myself...

    What about Tahini? Are sesame seeds OK for you? It's a creamy consistency...just pureed sesame seeds. Yum Hey Takala! That mayo recipe looks great!
