    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...

    New guidelines allow substitutions without notification during pandemic-related supply chain disruptions: https://www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-news/fda-loosens-some-food-labeling-rules/?utm_campaign=Research Opt-In&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=88626485&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-94Gf8sLRJGmBZgPUxhuCG1AzqzIWgsLYE5em2fN0vYWYu1dBh6FKoyLStCXli...

    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?

    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.

    I take it you are not in the US.

    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...

    Again, your reaction could be to some other ingredient besides gluten that is contained in this particular Doritos product that is not found in the other non certified non gluten containing Dorito products.

    A good sign that they they aren't (yet, anyway) treating you dismissively.

    Certainly, avitaminosis can and often does develop from celiac disease because of the villi damage and resultant nutrient malabsorption. Bloodwork as a standalone diagnostic procedure for avitaminosis can lead to under-diagnosis of some vitamin deficiencies. An example is B12 deficiency which can be masked by folic acid supplements. And vitamins and...

    I'm not a doctor or medical researcher but I don't see how there could be a connection between the two. "Polycythemia vera occurs when a mutation in a gene causes a problem with blood cell production. Normally, your body regulates the number of each of the three types of blood cells you have — red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. But i...

    So what you are really asking is does anyone know of research that shows celiac disease may be triggered by polycythemia VRA. Correct?
  23. trents
    Related, as in cause and effect or just statistically?
  24. trents
    I'm glad you said that CL. That's one of my frustrations since participating on this forum. People with celiac disease forget that things go wrong with their body that are not related to celiac disease. We can get medically myopic.
  25. trents
    Yes, and some doctors deny it is a real disease entity. But more and more are recognizing it as a medical reality. By definition, a syndrome is a collection of symptoms that is difficult to find an underlying cause for. Those of us with celiac disease understand that many medical problems have an autoimmune base. And the list is growing.
