    You might want to look into Salicylate sensitivity. I have that and Celiac. Open Original Shared Link Her chemical sensitivity is consistent with sal sensitivity and so is the psoriasis. Just something to consider given that 1 in 100 are allergic to aspirin or sensitive to salicylates. If this is the case, any meds that contain salicylates including...

    My opinion is you got a huge hit of gluten eating pumpkin seeds in the shell. Do you have the package? Can you find the label? What brand? Let's google them. Never assume something is gluten free. I was so surprised to learn that most pumpkin seeds in the shell are covered with wheat and salt, but it is true. I've never seen any that aren't. But I haven't...

    Hi Arian, I want to try to help you figure this out. Were the pumpkin seeds in the shell? Were they raw or roasted. Many Roasted pumpkin seeds in the shell have a white coating that is Salt and Wheat. I used to eat pumpkin seeds all the time before I knew I was Celiac. Now I can't have them, due to the salt/wheat coating. But even shelled or raw pumpkin...

    Crissy, Sorry you are so sick, I know it has to be frightening. I too, was reacting to many foods before I learned of Celiac. I felt like there was nothing I could eat. If you do not care about the official diagnosis, you can remain gluten free. However, you do need to have something on hand for the emergency situation- an Epipen. Prednisone helped...

    Little cubes of roast beef, chicken, cheese, with a few gluten free crackers.

    You should ask for the thyroid to be tested for Hashimoto's and Graves antibodies. With Hashimoto's it is common for the thyroid to go from hypo to hyper until it burns itself out so to speak and stops working. The feeling cold all the time and inability to lose weight would be consistent with Hashimoto's too. Hashimoto's is common in Celiacs. For those...

    So sorry you are having an outbreak. 13 years is very impressive for holding DH at bay, so obviously you are very good at avoiding gluten. The other factor for some people is iodine. Iodine can keep the antibodies active in the skin. Have you ever had to limit iodine for controlling your DH? I had to limit iodine in addition to total gluten avoidance to get...

    Yes, bacon is ok, but do read the ingredients. I've never seen any with gluten, but you should always read the label anyway to be sure. Eggs are great protein if you don't have problems with them. Some people have problems with them, but if you don't you should be good. Frozen vegetables are great but again make sure you read the label to be sure you are...

    Wow! Bartful gave you great information and ideas. I'm going to use some of it myself. Bossley, eggs are just fine as long as they don't bother you. In fact, Bacon, Eggs, and Fried Potato with Onion is one of our favorite gluten free meals. Fast and easy.

    Soy sauce would definitely do it. Obviously your body doesn't like gluten at all. Medical testing? Might not catch it unless you go back on gluten for a few months...but testing it like you did today? Very accurate testing in my opinion. the food starch probably was not wheat, it would list wheat in the ingredients if it was. But the cross contamination of...

    So glad you figured it out! My favorite ice cream had wheat in it too. Thanks for letting us know what you found! It helps to talk to others.

    It's true. My grandfather had milk cows and we kids washed the udders with iodine. The milk went to a big tank and then the milk truck picked it up like GFinDC said. Hey Squirming? Can you send me some milk in the mail? Please? Prolly be yogurt by the time I get it though.

    If you are new to being gluten free I would re-examine the cooking process in your home. Is there any chance for cross contamination? Were your pots and pans or utensils used on gluten foods in the past? It is so easy to contaminate your food when your kitchen is just recently gluten free. I just thought I would mention that as a possibility. I glutened myself...

    I just want to wish you well. I agree with the fact that you might be absorbing better and that could be a contributing factor. I also avoid soy, but it causes me swelling rather than vertigo or ringing in the ears. But I think it is well worth the try to eliminate it. I have Hashimoto's but am not on meds yet. I have had the same experience with Dr.'s completely...
  16. eatmeat4good
    What you are experiencing can definitely be caused by gluten. I was dizzy, nauseous, dazed confused and depressed and had constant migraines. The gluten headache is like no other. I haven't had any of these symptoms now that I am gluten free, unless of course I get contamination. That will bring it all back. Your body may be reacting to the elimination...

    My son tried that line too. Gluten has a pretty strong hold on them when they think it is the only thing that is food! I teased him that he might have to go to jail if all he wanted to eat was bread and water! Eventually their tastes change...hunger has a way of doing that to you. Udi's toasted with cinnamon and sugar is delicious. It's not real food but...

    Never buy from a deli. Notoriously glutened food. They make sandwiches all the time and most have no idea about gluten or cross contaminiation. Even if they wear gloves they are usually thinking only of protecting food from germs not protecting one food from another food. So they could go from making a sandwich to making chicken salad easily. It sounds...
  19. eatmeat4good
    That is a good way to put it Ed, yes, this is a one way trip! Gluten will let you know every time you run into it accidentally. It is still shocking to me how fast and severe the cross contamination can be. And I'm two years into this one way trip! Hope you don't have symptoms for long.

    Just one interesting thread I found on the subject.
  22. eatmeat4good
    I just posted about bladder spasms on the Interstitial Cystitis thread. For me both are caused by gluten. Gluten definitely caused the feeling of needing to urinate but not being able to do so or having pain on urination. Bladder problems completely went away when I went gluten free. However, they return if I get glutened. That is the only time I get bladder...
  23. eatmeat4good
    Yes it can. I had Interstitial Cystitis since age 20 and I was on antibiotics all the time for it. This is one of the things that miraculously cleared up for me when I went gluten free. I had no idea this would resolve simply by eliminating gluten. So I searched the forum here by entering Interstitial Cystitis in the search bar and low and behold...

    Has he had a full Celiac panel blood test done? With the Dr. suggesting going gluten free, and with his neurological problems, I would be considering the Celiac panel pretty important before he goes off of gluten. He doesn't have to have stomach problems to be Celiac. Before you get too far into being gluten free, I wanted to check if he had been...

    I was wondering if this was your child who had to give up chicken and beef? Oh gosh...this is hard. I will be thinking some more....But all I can think of right now is Bacon, bacon, bacon? Does he like it? Make a sandwich with it. Fry pork chops. Can he have pork? Poor kid. And it must be stressful for you too. Maybe make homemade "chicken...
