Cake...

l've never had birthday cake at my parties since l can remember, maybe age 3 or 4 was the last time.

 

l can't handle it. Dizzy,  nauseous, and generally feeling very weak after eating it, l tried to get into it in adulthood and no haps. So l have cheesecake which is amazing and no reaction (l dont love the crust, l think it makes me feel a little icky but not like fluffy cake).

 

why would this be a specific thing? Anyone experience it? l likely have bloodsugar issues/hypoglycemia but otherwise l thrive on sugar and it boosts my energy (if enough real food is eaten too).

 

l'm trying to look back on childhood things to see what bothered me when l had seemingly no symptoms of celiac/NGCS. These days l have the awful stomachache from pasta and while l didnt before, it never, ever made me dizzy and sick and still doesn't. Bread was also not a dizzy/sick issue, it just made me feel too quickly but hey...it's bread and it expands.

 

Ice cream, donuts, cheesecake and SOME cookies (except shortbread, same sick feeling there) have all been fine.

 

What's the deal with cake?

I was the same with cake. We would still have it on birthdays and my twin brother would scarf it down but I would eat the candles. Mom thought I was kind of weird but cake just didn't sit good with me.  I was also the only one who ever went to mass and took communion. I thought the lightheaded slightly off balance feeling I got was some part of the spiritual experience. Little did we know......

I could eat a half a cake now in one sitting. Gluten free of course.

Hmm yeah thinking back on times is interesting as you notice all those little things you took for granted.
Cakes...I would always just eat the icing....the cake gave me more of a tummy ache. Lemon bunt cakes, I ate the lemon toppings, Pizza, I would eat the toppings more often and only some of the crust, Pies I used to just eat the filling leave the crust unless it was nutgram based. OH Lemon squares I used to eat the lemon filling and leave the crust.....yeah bunch of odd things.

I always assumed from like Jr.High onwards when I started having vomiting issues after eating that it was normal.....you know eat puke up half your meal.....I putting on weight, slept most the days did not really think much on it.

Sorta funny how some breads triggered much worse then others. buns were evil, but this one toasted sandwhich I used to get at one place I could keep down.....and doughnuts extra crsipy from this one shop did not bother me as much as ones from a commerical company........

OH now days I use dairy free gluten free cheese cake extract in a ton of baked goods using almond and coconut flours. I also use it to make artisan almond butters and sell them. I make this wonderful gramcracker crust with almond meal, I posted on the recipe section that is quite useful. I also have a nice banana cinnamon cake recipe posted there and I think my old cinnamon roll cookie cake recipe is still posted there.

I was given a recipe called gluten free crazy cake. It looks pretty good.  It says it can be frozen.  Ingredients are:.

3 cups gluten free flour (1 cup brown or white rice flour, 1 cup sorghum flour and 1 cup potato starch)

1 tsp xanthan gum

3 cups warm water

2 cups sugar

1/2 cup baking cocoa

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoon vinegar

3/4 cup oil

Mix dry ingredients.  Add vinegar and water and stir.  Next add oil and stir.  Grease and flour pan.  Bake at 375 degrees for about 40 minutes.

Cool.

 

l actually did a lot of the things you did, Ennis_TX. and hated pizza until l was like 10, picked buns off of bread BUT l have to say l didn't have the digestive issues then. l always drank a crap ton of soda with carby foods though, for me it helps bloating which now leads to the god awful, eventual distention. lol.

 

l always felt like the cake problem was an alert to something but no idea what.  l have been totally sugar dependent throughout life and was willing to risk type 2 diabetes for morning Mountain Dew and a giant frosted honey bun throughout middle and high school. But sugar never made me sick like cake.

l did figure then since l was  always thin l could get away with it, but felt like something was off.

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Milarynn,  Welcome to the forum!   Many undiagnosed, untreated Celiac Disease patients have vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Be sure to have your Vitamin D level checked.  Vitamin D helps prevent bone loss, including loss from the jaw and teeth.   Magnesium and calcium are both important to bone health as well.  Magnesium helps keep the calcium from leaving your bones.  Magnesium helps make life sustaining enzymes with Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Low Magnesium and/or low Thiamine results in muscle cramping.   Thiamine deficiency is found in Pre-diabetes and Diabetes.  Poor absorption of the eight water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C are found in Celiac Disease.  Insufficient Vitamin C can cause poor oral health, resulting in poor gum health such as receding and bleeding gums.  Vitamin C is needed to fight bacteria that cause plaque which causes cavities.  Vitamin C helps rebuild tooth enamel.   I've had jaw muscle cramping, TMJ problems, tooth loss and gum problems.  Do talk to your dentist about having Celiac Disease.  Practice good oral hygiene.  I'm also Diabetic and take Benfotiamine (a form of Thiamine) that helps regulate blood glucose and heal the intestines. Do keep us posted on your test results and your progress!

      Milaryrnn, your post is confusing. First, your celiac disease antibody testing is negative. By any chance had you already been on a gluten free diet before the blood draw for these tests was done? That would result in negative antibody testing even if you had celiac disease. Or, had you previously been diagnosed with celiac disease and had the antibody testing done to check for compliance with the gluten free diet? Second, DNA testing cannot be used to confirm celiac disease. 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develops active celiac disease. It takes both the genetic potential and some triggering biological stress event in order to develop active celiac disease. Otherwise, the genes remain inactive. High lipase levels would indicate some problem with your pancreas.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By More2Learn · Posted

      Thanks, yes, I've gone back and forth.  There is a lot of autoimmune disease in my family, so primarily I was thinking a real diagnosis might be helpful for other family members -- especially as I have two young biological nephews.  I feel like I am at a crossroads, where if I'm going to test now would be the time, since I've been in a less-than-perfect eating period.  I'm either going to just going to use what I've learned in these last few months to purposely never cheat again (obviously there is the accidental glutening situations) or test first, and then do that.  I don't need an official diagnosis so much that if I'm doing well I'm going to sabotage that by then starting to eat gluten again. I'm so glad you said this.  Even from what I've read so far, it makes sense to me that this is a misconception.  But growing up with all kinds of allergies, I can see how, as for the general population it's just easier for everyone to simplify it down to a type of "allergy," people would assume this.  It's just how most people look at allergies and diets and gluten avoidance has been painted as both.  I even see it in my journey to date, when I say I want a gluten free selection at a restaurant and I am asked "is it an allergy?" and it is so much easier just to say yes (even if the answer is actually well, no, it's autoimmune).  Because the "yes" answer is the "this is serious" answer.

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      By Milarynn · Posted

      Hello. I recently had an endo/colonoscopy and my GI Dr found lymphocytes in my stomach and small intestine. My TTG Ab, IgA was <2 (normal), GLIADIN (DEAMINATED) IGA at 5 (negative), and IgA at 237 (normal). However, a Lipase test revealed my levels were through the roof at 201, 3x above normal. My GI doctor ordered a dna test to confirm Celiac Disease. An A1C test was also done and I am pre-diabetic. When I got home from work today, I started to feel sever cramping in my jaw muscles. I started to have jaw muscle cramps in the the last year. Not to mention, even with good oral hygiene, I have rapidly developed periodontal disease. I did have a small amount of gluten, thinking it wouldn’t harm much but I was sadly mistaken. DNA results should be back in 2 weeks.
