    It is common for someone who is celiac or gluten intolerant to have other intolerances or allergys.Some of the more common intolerances are to dairy,soy,corn,nightshades(potatoes,tomatoes ,peppers ,eggplant ect..) .Every one is different. Sometimes as the gut heals the secondary intolerances resolve . For some ,if not most of us, something triggered...

    As the above poster states ,It may be tempting to go gluten free now but try to wait until your testing is completed. Consider deciding now if you want to have an endoscopy done regardless of your test results. Then as soon as your testing is done(no matter what the results are) go gluten free, it will help!!! Also once gluten free try to watch your iodine...

    how long have you been gluten free?? Is your multivitamin gluten free? Sticking with whole foods at first is a good idea then later adding processed food slowly ( to make sure you can tolerate them) at the VERY minimum you need to have your vitamin D and B checked along with checking to see if your anemic. If your doc wont do it find a doc that will...

    My symptoms are about 80% neurological with very few digestive symptoms.Honestly, I can deal with the digestive symptoms but the neurological symptoms are horrendous. When I first went gluten free my neurological symptoms improved but it was not until l went soy and nightshade free that they totally resolved. Now the only time I have symptoms is when...

    Things to consider: How long is it going to take you to get an appt. with your GI doc. and how long will it take him to schedule your endoscopy. Being gluten free even for a couple of weeks could cause a false negative. To do a gluten challenge you need to consume the equivalent of 3 to 4 slices of bread daily for at least 3 months and even then...

    With eating mostly meats,fish ,veggies most of your energy will come from fats ((instead of carbs that were your energy source when you were eating gluten)).If you can tolerate nuts try increasing your consumption of "good" fats to get your energy level up.

    Where's the like button ??and waiting for the recipe

    My understanding is that 3 to 4 months of eating the equivalent of 3 to 4 slices of bread a day is needed for a gluten challenge. Even then some of us test "negative" for celiac's. This is why it is so very important to be tested before going gluten free. But of course doctors don't tell us that

    :lol: I laughed when I read this but honestly it is very close to the truth at my house I live alone (except for my dog and two cats)My whole house (including my pets) is gluten free. I will not have it in my house. I would not allow someone to bring poison in to my house ,,,,gluten is poison to me . As to cleaning up after gluten,,,My understand...

    I never would have thought to try that I do love maple syrup on my pork sausage so it sounds like something I would enjoy

    Yes it is possible to have celiac's and not be able to eat gluten free products,if you are super sensitive to gluten. Gluten free does NOT necessarily mean 100% gluten free. Often other intolerances and /or allergys go along with celiac's. Some things to consider are ; do those gluten free products have soy in them? could you be sensitive to soy...

    ARCHIVED Endocrinologist

    cahill replied to txplowgirl's topic in Doctors

    My new endocrinologist on my first visit tested my thyroid function ( I have hypothyroidism) but also tested for Lupus,rheumatoid arthritis, hashimoto thyoiditis,graves disease, diabetics,and renal function among others. The kind of tiredness you are describing happens for me when my thyroid is off. I agree with your mom, a visit to an endocrinologist...

    I agree Soy is evil If your planing on doing a gluten challenge be sure all the soy is out of your diet first .

    I have celiac's and I have a intolerance to soy and nightshades .It is very possible to have more than one intolerance . I had allergy testing and came back negative for an allergy to soy but my body reacts SEVERELY when I ingest soy. You say you felt better after going gluten free. Instead of doing a gluten challenge why not do a soy challenge. Eliminate...

    Hi Welcome to the forums.

    for me things kept getting worse UNTIL I eliminated secondary intolerances and allgerys . Once I did that my over all health improved drastically.Not a cure but it sure makes life a whole lot more enjoyable ((HUGS)) to you

    I agree, My recent ANA came back moderately positive ( range= moderately positive 20-60 mine was 35)but showed negative for lupus. I have celiac's and hashimotos.

    speaking of pizza does anyone have a really good white pizza recipe?? I remember years ago when I lived in Philly a pizza shop there serving the BEST white pizza ever. The sauce was like a garlicky creamy white sauce.
