  1. People who stop eating gluten and then start eating it again for the endoscopy (gluten challenge) seem to have worse symptoms than before they stopped gluten. Yes! I can attest to this. Not fun!
  2. Correct, but some of us were diagnosed in past as such based on symptoms only without formal testing for either condition. So for some of us in a certain age bracket this did unfortunately occur. I for one am glad as you point out it is more definitive they are 2 seperate legitimate conditions. Thankfully now it does not occur as often now. Respectfully...
  3. Ha ha ha. A few of us on the forum where misdiagnosed as such. 🤦
  4. I took my cats gluten-free. I feed my cats grain free. The dry foods are grain free and dedicated lines. The wet food they prefer is grain free by ingredients, but not labeled as such as it is not a dedicated line. The wet food company makes a variety some of which contain grain. I was grateful to the worker who patiently walked me through my detailed...
  5. I get nauseous just seeing this.
  6. Ditto. Corn is king in the industry because it is cheap, but also another inflammatory for many of us. Sadly I was not surprised to click on details to see corn.
  7. I still have 3, but at one time I had 13. I was able to add in gradually 3 years post challenge when I was able to start making progress. I did small amounts. I agree with DC things you eat often or I previously paired with gluten is what my immune system locked and loaded on. Good luck
  8. I did it for my children. If you have family members then for some they do it. I will share I was better off the first time around. A waitress reintroduced gluten into my diet . I no longer eat out. Following up with a Dr and officially reintroducing gluten aggravated other health issues for me. I had better health the first time around. My other...
  9. I had canker sores very often as a kid/teen. I remember at times having 3 at once. I did get them a bit after my gluten challenge. As I stabilized they have subsided. All the advice the posters above listed is helpful to you. Good luck
  10. Yes. I experience peripheral neuropathy and nerve issues. Autonomic nervous issues too. As kitty says vitamin deficiency too. The first time I went gluten-free I got my "moons" on my thumb finger nails , over the 3 years gluten-free I started to get them on my pointer fingers ( right more than left) I got terribly glutened in March 2016 and...
  11. Sniff sniff - oh how I wish it had no corn/corn starch. Enjoy those of you without corn issues!
  12. I followed Cyclying Ladies, Ravenswood glass, squirming itch , gluten-free in DC advice /posts in the beginning. I developed additional food intolerance s and sensitivities to additves/ingredients in foods. I stayed whole foods, did not eat out, made my own baked goods 5 ingredients of less to manage. To avoid corn and corn starch I looked to Ennis posts...
  13. I hope it is helpful to you and is a good fit for your on the go schedule. Best wishes.
  14. My son and I both experience clearing of eczema when on a strict gluten free diet. After my diagnosis and gluten challenge the whole house went gluten-free. We discovered my son's eczema cleared as well. My son is now also gluten free.
  15. "Researchers are making critical progress in distinguishing celiac disease from NCGS. Their efforts could drive breakthroughs in the diagnosis and treatment of both conditions, so their ongoing study is important." Good to know research is progressing. I look forward to more details as they unfold.
  16. It is important for those of us in the USA to remember that the UK is NHS based run system. Their current guidelines/test match their system not ours. It is still informative for all of us as a community to know what other countries develop, use, change in diagnosing and/or treatment.
  17. Also joining the forum here was helpful to know how to correctly maintain gluten-free diet/lifestyle on all levels. As members here know the "landmines" many newbies need to know, even if they go self elimination diet route. In the past I read online reviews for restaurant s how many Celiac's go to local restaurants with gluten-free selection etc...
  18. Back and neck issues here. I started going to chiropractor's in my early 20's. Still see them now, although my treatment has moved to acupuncture as it helps my nerve/nervous system better. My chiropractor's for years had me on magnesium and probiotics (before they became OTC / mainstream) for my muscle and gi issues.
  19. My 2 cents having done a gluten challenge. It is better if they are on track for diagnosis to continue with small amounts of gluten now. Knock this testing out now! It is really hard on the body based on my experience to reintroduce gluten. It aggravated other issues for me. I still struggle to get control of of my nervous system/orthostatic issues 4 years...
  20. I didn't dream of a glutening, but of gluten containing foods I had to resist. I regularly dreamed of rolling over in bed, to open my sock drawer (? Odd I know) that was filled with nicely tucked and organized/ wrapped bagels with cream cheese, chicago style hot dogs on poppyseed buns, slices of deep dish Chicago style pizza, hot pretzels etc. In my...
  21. It was 8 months between when I first saw my gi/ immunology team (office visit ) and my gluten challenge/scopes months later. Waitlist for my scopes. Between the 2 appointments above I visited a rheumatologist upon my celiac cousin's suggestion. She and others here on the forum explain those with celiac ardmore at risk of other autoimmune conditions. ...
  22. In addition to advice given above about ensuring proper vitamin and minerals. I personally have to watch the B's, vitamin D, and magnesium. Also that I stay hydrated and electrolyte balanced. Over the years I have experienced beyond gi issues symptoms of ataxia, autonomic nervous system issues, peripheral neuropathy, and orthostasis issues. I see a...
  23. Just a side note After my gluten challenge I became intolerant of corn starch, corn dervatives like corn sourced maltodextrin. I also had problems with benzoates ex sodium benzoates. If you are recently diagnosed you may have or developed an intolerance to one of the additive ingredients. Take notes per food dairy to try to determine the culprit. Good...
  24. The supplement industry does not formulated products with iron for men nor post menopausal women. Men do not require iron as they do not lose their stores like a menstruating woman does. This link explains the details https://www.livestrong.com/article/241733-should-men-take-iron-supplements/
