It seems clear to me that you are having gastroparesis if you are upchucking remnants from breakfast the day before. Normally, food passes from the stomach into the duodenum/small bowel within about two hours and then makes it's way down to the colon for elimination within about 24 hr. This sounds serious and I would make every effort if I were you to identify...

People with celiac disease are at a statistically higher risk of developing other autoimmune conditions, many or most of them involving inflammatory processes. Things like chronic pain syndrome and lupus and RA. Perhaps this bears looking into. Edit: My other thought is that you may not be allowing the injury to heal because of your daily activity level...

Feeling the need to void frequently and not feeling you have emptied the bladder completely when you do sounds like it could be a bladder infection. Is urination painful? Is their any blood in your urine? You say you "made some tests for my urinary problem" and "no ecoli infection" but has anyone checked your urine for other infections? May we ask how...

I beg your pardon! I hope you will take the time to research the issue of arsenic and rice. Cycling lady has given you some good places to start.

One potential risk of the gluten-free diet is arsenic toxicity because of all the rice-based substitutes we typically consume in order to compensate for not being able to use wheat. Rice is naturally higher in arsenic than other grains and this can be exaggerated when the rice-based products we use are made from rice grown in areas of the world where there...

You mention not including much red meat in your diet. I wonder if your body is craving some of the nutrients red meat is rich in such as iron, B vitamins and protein. Make sure you are taking a quality gluten-free multivitamin (I use the Costco "Kirkland" brand) and are getting a good amount of protein and fat in your diet from other sources. Yes, "fat"....

Celiac Disease and gallbladder removal
trents replied to Jenna Rasmus's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
The gallbladder's purpose is to produce bile that helps digest fat. People with gallbladder duct blockage from stones often find that attacks are brought on when eating high fat meals. When ingesting a lot of fat the gallbladder goes into overdrive trying to pump out bile that is being blocked by stones in the duct. This causes the gallbladder to cramp up... -
Here's another related question for the community. Have any of you ever had chelation therapy to bind and remove heavy metals from your system? What do you think of this option?
-
The issue is two-fold. First, rice naturally has a much higher arsenic uptake than other common grains. Second, this natural biochemical tendency of rice is exacerbated when it is grown in areas where the soil has a high arsenic content. So, as cyclinglady said, try to control #2 in that equation. If you use a lot of gluten-free riced-based prepared food...

help Concerned Celiacs or misdiagnosed?
trents replied to Natalia.Hillz's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Cycling lady said everything I was going to say so, "ditto". I'm particularly curious about how you were diagnosed. You may actually have something else going on in your body besides or in addition to celiac disease. I would only add that several recent studies are showing that cross contamination is much more of a factor in keeping Celiac disease "smoldering... -
Ditto to what kareng said. And there is no evidence that I know of that other grains cause the same villi damaging auto immune reaction that the gluten of wheat, barley and rye produce in celiacs. There is still some controversy surrounding oats, however.
-
I certainly would have your gallbladder checked out if you have not. Most people don't realize that gall stones are not the only problem you can have with your gall bladder. The gallbladder can also just quit producing bile (or sufficient quantities of it) which would, like stones blocking the duct, result in problems with digesting fats. But there wouldn...
-
So it looks like the study is in the formative stages of trial and there are no results to report yet. Am I missing something? Hard to get excited about this until we see some testing results. There have been a number of Celiac oral prophylactics tested over the past several years that seemed promising but turned out to not be the ticket we were looking...

Abolutely! All the issues you described have been tied to Celiac disease. Have you been diagnosed with Celiac disease yet? And if so, are you being conscientious in avoiding gluten? If you have not been diagnosed you need to have testing done. But make sure you have not gone off gluten until after the testing or the testing will not be accurate.
-
"One of the reasons I push a Paleo, Keto, or Atkins diet at people recovering to hit as many birds as possible in one go." Agreed!
-
Good read and very thought provoking. Something a lot of people who thought they were gluten intolerant but have been tested and found not to have the villi damage characteristic of celiac disease need to explore. But it needs to be emphasized this is only applicable to those experiencing digestive problems when consuming wheat, barley and rye who are...

Neurological symptoms post gluten free diet
trents replied to Hummingbird's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Fact is, very few celiacs who are making an honest effort to eat gluten-free are actually managing to do so. Open Original Shared Link This study's findings are in line with other studies I have seen lately dealing with the same issue. The result is that there is some improvement because we are getting less gluten but it doesn't just go away... -
You really do need to get tested. The earlier you catch it the less likely serious and permanent damage to your body will occur. One of the Celiac associated medical problems is osteopenia/osteoporosis because of poor mineral absorption.
-
First, celiac disease itself is an immune disorder. Specifically, it is and "autoimmune" disorder. So it represents a dysfunction in your immune system to begin with. If you are talking about infectious diseases, the connection may have more to do with poor nutrient uptake due to damage to the small bowel mucosa (villi), which is where most nutrient absorption...

Not everyone is in a situation to "cook like ma Inglalls". That in itself has to be socially limiting, even if you only take into consideration the time involved. I think what we're looking at here is those many times most of us don't have the total control we would like over what we eat as when we go to a restaurant or eat at someone else's home.

I have a suggestion for you. Sit down and develop a list of more detailed, targeted questions you would like to have data on that would provide a framework for people's responses. I feel like your current questions are too vague and too general to be very helpful to people trying to provide input for your writing project or to you trying to distill and...

Whatever really works, doesn't have side effects that are worse than the disease it is addressing and is affordable is fine with me, Ennis.

CL, I think you miss the point the referenced article was trying to make and that I was expressing agreement with. In fact, in your response you actually reinforce the point the article was making. The article was not (nor was I) saying that celiac disease cannot be successfully controlled by scrupulous avoidance of cross contamination. What it was saying...
