Carl do you eat gluten free processed food made with rice flours? You know, cookies, crackers, cakes, breads, pastas?

Pretty much whole foods. No processed food fo awhile now.

Hi carle,

I wonder if you might have dermatitis herpetiformis (DH)?  DH is a skin condition associated with celiac disease.  the reason I thot of that is because you had a flare up from eating rice.  Rice has iodine in it and iodine makes DH symptoms worse.  DH is primarily a skin rash that is very itchy.

Anyhow, congrats on your PSA symptoms reducing!  That's great that you figured out a diet change to help it.

Of course it might not be iodine that made that change for you.  I just think it is interesting your symptoms flare from rice and people with DH have symptoms that flare from iodine.

No DH just the psoriasis....so strange. To be clear, all my psa and p are gone.

Hi. Im 49 male. I was diagnosed with celiac disease last year. In high school, I was diagnosed  with psoriasis (p) and psoriatic arthritis (psa). For 30 years about I took high-dose ibuprofen for the inflammation. The psa got so bad 5 years ago I had to start enbrel. A biologic drug that is an injection. So Ive been very good about eating gluten-free. Ive had 2 glutenings in 9 months. Symptoms were migraines and stomach pain. I was feeling better in a couple days.

In September I started getting same symptoms.  After a couple weeks, bad constipation. Same as before celiac disease diagnosis. I was going crazy! I couldnt figure where the gluten was coming from! Then I was reading the forum here, great resource by the way, and I read how some celics are intolerant to rice also. So I stopped my brown rice that I had been eating daily for years. A matter of days all gluten symptoms were gone. The real magic to me is that within a couple weeks all my psa pain was gone. Now its been been a couple months without enbrel or anything! No sign of p or psa. Im never eating a grain again! Am I crazy? Feels to good to be true.

You guys are the best! Just hearing encouraging words makes a huge difference! I have another question. Can malabsorption happen without GI symptoms?

Thanks for the response.  Im very carefull of what I eat now. Lots of meat, fish, veg, brown rice, yogurt and eggs.  Do you guys think there is a connection between celiacs and my tendon issues? Its really stopping me from exercising.

Im 49. Diagnosed with celiac  10 months ago (gluten free for ten months. I was 5'11 153 lbs. Stomach pain and weight loss before diagnosis. In 3 months I was 125 lbs. Allot of muscle loss. Two old tendon injurys in hip and jaw flared up during this time and couldent straighten or stand on leg (put me in wheelchair). Better now but still there. 

So Ive been gluten-free for 10 months. Im starting to gain a little weight but my legs are skin and bones. Im wanting to hear from others who had similar experience. Thanks  

I was officially diagnosed with celiac in December. The biopsy showed "moderate to severe" villa damage. My question is how long does it take to have severe damage? I had stomach pain in july....5 months before biopsy. Could celiac been affecting me before the stomach pain?

Six months ago I started having stomach pain and losing weight. I saw a gastrologist 2 months ago. He ordered a blood test and scheduled me for endoscope  and colonooscopy. The blood test was positive for celiac but I had to keep eating gluten for a month before the biopsy. Now I have 1 week before the biopsy. I wondered if I went gluten-free a week before the test if iit could effect the result?
