    It takes about two hours for food to leave the stomach and go into the small bowel. Speaking for myself, it is at that point when, if I have eaten gluten or any of the several other foods that give me problems, that I begin to experience nausea. I would think texture issues would have a more immediate effect. Does your daughter have problems swallowing pills...

    Look for ingredients common to all the baked goods that are causing problems. Could this be a texture issue? How long does it take after consumption for the emesis to start? And I always caution people in the gluten intolerant/celiac community not to assume that medical issues are necessarily related to problems with gluten. If you don't find answers...

    The problem with this is it requires the cooperation of everyone in the house and total consistency or it becomes unreliable and risky.

    Thanks, Posterboy for all your diligent research on behalf of our online community.

    It's more involved than just asking about ingredients "purposely" put into foods when you eat out. That doesn't rule out incidental cross contamination. For instance, if eggs are scrambled on the same griddle as French toast is cooked on or French fries being cooked in the same vat that breaded fish patties are. It can only take a trace of gluten to trigger...

    Fatigue is a common experience with celiac disease. There are more factors involved than what standard blood work can detect. Sounds like you are not yet making a serious effort to eat gluten free. That would seem to be the next step in determining if your issues are gluten related or due to something else. You won't know until you eliminate gluten from...

    Good catch, PB and a nice, concise post. Thanks.

    Please keep us posted if you find out more. This is very weird. The two onsets of rhabdo both followed resistance type exercises. Do you know if say, jogging or swimming would do the same?
  9. trents
    I have not heard that there is any connection between the two. Are you on a statin by any chance?

    From your own admission, dry (toast and chips) and spicy foods seem to trigger this cough reaction and the "tickle" behind the sternum. I'm certainly no doctor but that suggests to me there is something being irritated when you eat these things. If that irritated area is on or near epiglottis (the flapper valve that closes off the windpipe when you swallow...

    The common denominator in all this seems to be eating. Does this happen every time you eat something or does it seem to be associated with certain foods or certain textures? Since it has been 18 months since your last upper GI I would look into another one. You may have a wound of some kind that is being irritated when food is swallowed. Not sure how...

    It won't hurt to take the PPI short term to see if GERD is actually a problem you have. How often do you have heartburn? Reflux doesn't just happen at night when you lay down, by the way. That is a misconception. An endoscopy would be in order to check for esophagial erosion and hiatal hermia. Particularly since the coughing happens in conjunction with eating...

    May I ask, what is your age? I'm 68 and often I feel a little faint when standing up after doing a task requiring some exertion in the bent bent over position. I do not sense any syncopation or tachycardia at these times or any other. I just attribute it to postural LBP. I'm sure the pump and the entire vascular system are not what they used to be even...

    "You could try a low FODMAP diet for a few months to see of it helps. You can also try the gluten-free diet to see of things improve. Celiac disease testing isn't perfect and can miss some people. You could have it but your body just may not test well. Maybe in a few years your blood antibodies would show up better. But who wants to wait a couple years...

    It certainly would not hurt to try a gluten-free diet. We are still learning about the impact of gluten sensitivity and Celiac disease on the body and are finding out it has many more spin offs than anyone ever expected, even 20 years ago. But you would need to educate yourself on how gluten is used (and disguised) in many different food products, especially...

    "Vinos"? What is that? Did you consume any wine, especially red wine?
  17. trents
    Do you have Celiac disease? You say you are "wheat sensitive" but you don't say you are a celiac. You are doing the right thing in getting a checkup and blood work done. Sometimes we can make assumptions about what is causing our problems that turn out to be incorrect. Exams and testing can often turn up the real cause which may be something we never...

    Amen!

    The key word as far as I'm concerned: "Scientists have discovered how lectins, a family of proteins believed to be a natural insecticide that is abundant in undercooked legumes and grains, can make you feel temporarily miserable." This is true for me with regard to many seeds and other foods such as raw vegetables. When they aren't washed and/or...

    Great resource! Thanks, CL.

    I would caution you about going low fat. Fat is very important to health and metabolism. Focus on the kind of fat you take in rather than reducing it. Substituting vegetable oils for some animal fats is going to be better than trying to drastically reduce fat intake altogether. Avocados and chia seeds are an example of some things you need to look at in that...

    Oatmeal and oat bran cereal are good for reducing cholesterol. Bob's Red Mill sells both in gluten-free form.

    I was on a statin for several years but it was causing restless leg syndrome, which I was also given meds for. My cholesterol was marginally high. Mostly the LDL/HDL ratio was not what the doctor wanted to see. As near as I could tell, I wasn't having any of the side effects you read about that statins can produce but since there is such a controversy surrounding...

    I'm sure many of you are in the situation where a celiac is living (and eating) in the same house with non-celiacs. Last night I was reminded of how important it is in these situations to extra care in packaging/labeling foods in such a way that celiacs don't accidentally consume gluten containing foods that may look very much like their gluten free...

    I think kareng probably hit the nail on the head. You are absorbing nutrients better. And to pick up with what cyclinglady added, for years the medical community villainized fat and we were told to eliminate as much fat from our diets (especially animal sources and tropical oils) as possible. That whole approach is now being called into question and...
