    There are often various withdrawal symptoms when going off gluten. Endoscopies are done to check for Celiac Disease. Damage to the villi (tiny finger-like projections in the mucosal lining of the small bowel) is the defining characteristic of Celiac Disease as opposed to a gluten allergy. The villi create surface area for the absorption of nutrients...

    Gluten allergy? Are you intending to ask about an allergic reaction to gluten or are you asking about Celiac Disease? Both conditions are related to gluten ingestion but they are very different. Celiac Disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten and has many and can lead to many and serious health problems, some of which Cycling Lady listed above...

    Ditto. Get this checked out by medical professionals as soon as you can. If by some chance the pain is being caused by colorectal cancer you want to get it addressed pronto. It would be a good idea for you to get a GUAIAC done. There may not be enough blood for you to see but a small amount could be present. Hemorrhoids can be higher up, more internal...

    Scott, I believe Amy's realizes that a lot of celiacs mistake being glutened with reactions to other ingredients or mistakenly identify a glutened event with a particular product when it was actually caused by gluten in another product they consumed around the same time. I'm guessing Amy's doesn't want to step into that quagmire on a forum, feeling they...

    I've never had a problem with Amy's gluten-free frozen dinner products. Not sure if I have tried her lazagna, though. I mostly get the Asian dinners and sometimes the Mexican ones. I'm not a particularly sensitive celiac, however, so symptomatically I don't seem to react to minor CC. Thankfully, I don't have issues with soy and dairy like a lot of Celiacs...

    I had elevated liver enzymes for years and that eventually led to Celiac disease testing and diagnosis. As soon as I started making a concerted effort to eat gluten free the enzymes returned to normal. Elevated SGPT can also be connected to heart disease. The immuno-suppressant meds many people take for RA I believe can also be hard on the liver.

    I agree, some common sense is in order. A sack of potatoes will not likely be labeled gluten-free but it will be by the nature of what it is. And you make a good point about many food producers not wanting to incur the expense of regular lab testing just to be able to put the gluten-free sticker on their product. My concern is with packaged food...

    So that is a weight loss of around 13 lbs? Sorry, not familiar with stones as a unit so had to rely on a conversion tool. What is the second number after the stone? 9st 7 ish. Is the 7 in ounces or is that 9.7 stones? This is odd as your caloric intake seems not to have changed much according to what you say. It is not uncommon for people to lose weight...

    Have you tried using Zyrtec or one of the other second gen antihistamines? For most people, there is little or not sedation associated with using them and as far as I know, no other side effects. I've been taking Zyrtec for years for nasal allergies and it works well for that. It's also used for allergic itching. Have you figured out what kind of foods...

    Well, at least you have some answers.

    No. Eating beef doesn't make most people stink. But because of individual body chemistry, eating certain things can produce odors that only some people can detect. A classic example is the peculiar odor some people report when urinating after eating asparagus. Only 25% of the population can detect that odor. There's no difference in the urine after eating...

    There is something called "meat sweats" but it doesn't seem to fit very well with what you describe: https://www.healthline.com/health/meat-sweats#5

    Does this effect present itself with other meats, eggs, dairy, soy . . . other things high in protein?
  15. trents
    Do you get these smelly sweat episodes when eating other beef products? Does this only occur at night? It is odd that you have no GI distress in conjunction with these episodes.

    As an aside, have you inquired about how Wendy's cooks the beef patty for that lettuce wrap burger? Are they cooking it on the same grill that they use for things like breaded chicken patties?

    Three things: 1. Recent studies, and there have been a number of them, show that most people who report being diligent about avoiding gluten in their diets are not as successful as they imagine. They are actually practicing a "low gluten" diet rather than a "gluten free" one. This is due to a number of factors including misleading and erroneous labeling...

    Amazing! I would say there is a link.

    There is a lot of trivial media these days, isn't there! Nothing else on TV to watch that is new but the news and it is not very uplifting these days.

    Not far from me, then. We're about 30 min. south of Olympia.

    The Mother, Does your son's healthcare insurance allow him to directly schedule appointments with specialists? Seems like to me he needs to be connected with a gastroenterologist.

    My heart goes out to you. We always suffer with our children when they suffer. As CL asked, has your son been diligent to avoid gluten or do you know? Having worked in a hospital setting for many years before retiring, I can tell you it is not uncommon for young type I diabetics to be in denial about their need to manage their diabetes and to have one...

    Good questions. I got the impression that the study's sample population was representative of those who were still eating out at times and eating main stream foods at home while trying to be gluten food detectives, i.e., asking questions about ingredients and preparation when eating out and reading the labels of mainstream prepared food products. In other...

    Latest research continues to confirm how even the diligent get glutened more than they realize: https://www.beyondceliac.org/research-news/new-evidence-gluten-in-gluten-free-diet/?utm_campaign=Research Opt-In&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=87884192&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_vCatKrAPHUZPbqONwt1ZO29SQYGDfoC4oRzekRSVh1aYs1-v6ZMKP_20dPmQLRBJooPYqZzYD...
