    Does anyone know if oaxalates can contribute to a leaky gut with celiac? Every time I've tried to do a "leaking gut" healing diet, where I consume lots of fresh fruit and veggies....however, this seems to make my symptoms worse??

    JERSEYANGEL - Just curious, were you able to figure out why you were having a problem with the chicken?

    I am a celiac currently dealing with multiple food intolerances. I have done quite a bit of research, and am t rying to find the best leaky gut healing diet to follow. From what I can gather, I should stick to mainly: Unprocessed meats & fish (chicken, turkey, beef) Low Starch Vegetables Healthy Oils I am not sure about fruit, as the high sugar...

    I was diagnosed with celiac disease in March of this year (2012) after experiencing an on-set of the following symptoms: -EDEMA (extreme tissue swelling all over the body that never seemed to subside) -SINUS CONGESTION and SCRATCHY THROAT -Achiness -Fatigue -Anemia (falling asleep all of the time) -Severe cravings/constant hunger I immediately...

    Does anyone have experience with detoxifying the body from salicylates? I believe I have grown sensitive to them from over-consumption of fruits and veggies in the recent months after having to go gluten and grain free.... I am sticking to mostly these foods for the time being: white potato allowed low sal veggies pears ricotta and cottage cheese...

    Does anyone know of a link between celiac and salicylate sensitivity? I am diagnosed celiac as of this March - thinking I may have salicylate sensitivity as well based on foods I react to, anyone else??
  9. Emilem
    For those of you with food allergies/intolerances in ADDITION to wheat...how long does the reaction set-in after consumption... I am suspicious that I have a sensitivity to coconut and sunflower. I ate some sunflower seed butter around 3pm yesterday afternoon and am feeling the affects today - would this sound about right???

    Interesting...do you think other things besides the grains were bothering you?? Nuts, beans, fruit?? How long until you felt relief? What were your symptoms if you don't mind me asking..... This article explains the whole cross-reactivity concept, interesting I know.. Open Original Shared Link

    Hi there, I was diagnosed with Celiac disease mid-March of this year. I have been on a strict gluten-free diet for over six months now. My major symptom, leading up to the diagnosis, was EXTREME edema/fluid retention and fatigue. For a few weeks after my diagnosis, I began to feel a bit better. But not for long, I actually started to feel worse....

    I am wondering if there is anyone out there who has had sucessful experiences with elimination diets to alleviate symptoms. I was diagnosed celiac in March and have been on a strict gluten-free diet ever since. Although many of my initial symptoms (anemia, vitamin/mineral deficiencies) have improved, one symptom seems to have gotten worse. I have constant...

    I am wondering if there is anyone out there who can relate/offer advice and knowledge on this issue.... About 7 months ago I started experiencing fatigue and edema/fluid retention. I was achy from time to time as well. The most bothersome symptom, however, was the edema. As time went on, the edema progressed, as well as the other symptoms. We discovered...

    i have been on a gluten free diet for 2 months and have yet to see improvement in my edema (swelling) all over the body. i noticed this morning that my shampoo may be the root of the problem? does anyone know if cosmetics could cause this type of reaction, even if they aren't ingested?
  15. Emilem
    Oh believe me! I've been tested for it all...since December they have taken 29 viles of blood from me. Edema was actually my intial complaint (before celiac was diagnosed). They have checked heart, liver, kidney, protein, etc...all fine. The only thing that seems to make sense is maybe that issue of malabsorption? Could you possibly elaborate further...
  16. Emilem
    I have read in a few posts that some people experience refeeding edema while recovering from celiac where they gain a bunch of weight quickly and swell up....... I am looking for people who can relate to my current situation... I have been seeing a nutritionist since I was diagnosed with celiac to help me with my new gluten free diet. She tested...
  17. Emilem
    WOW! So much great info..I was beginning to lose hope. Thanks for taking time to provide such helpful info.
  18. Emilem
    I've had thyroid checked as well..... negative :/ i wish i could figure out what's going on ...
  19. Emilem
    I have actually had these checked out and no protein in urine which rules out kidney disease, yet the edema still persists :/

    Just recently diagnosed (confirmed blood test and biopsy) with celiac. I am wondering if any of these symptoms I have been experiencing are characteristic of celiac: -Edema (swelling/fluid retention) that seems to get worse after eating/drinking fluid -Warts (on the hand) never had them growing up, until about a year ago. In the past few months they...
  21. Emilem
    thank you! very helpful!
  22. Emilem
    WOW those symptoms sound so similar to mine! It is so uncomfortable how much fluid weight were you retaining? did it all go away eventually? did you have to cut out anything else like caffeine/sugar to notice a difference? sorry for all the questions, its just so nice to have someone to relate to!

    I just found out recently that I have Celiac disease. I have been on a gluten-free diet for a month now. One of my major complaints has been edema. I feel so swollen ALL OVER my body. My abdomen, legs, feet, hands, face. It varies from day to day, but drinking fluid seems to aggravate it further. My kidneys, electrolytes, etc have all been checked out...
  24. Emilem
    Thank you so much for your reply. I was curious about kidney damage because before the celiac blood test my doc ran some kidney function tests and a urynalysis but everything seemed normal. Is it possible that the celiac could be affecting my kidneys even though the tests showed nothing abnormal? It is giving me hope that you say within a months time you...

    When you say autoimmune flare are you referring to a celiac-episode?
