knitty kitty makes a good point. Avocados are high in histamines. So are bananas. Both also trigger histamine production in the body when consumed so there's a double whammy with those two foods for those struggling with histamine intolerance/MCAS -

- knitty kitty replied to Sharke's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms43 years with Celiac, now I appear fine.
@Sharke, The updated guidelines for a gluten challenge are to eat ten grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum. Lesser amounts of gluten (3 grams) don't provoke an immune response strong enough that the antibodies leave the gastrointestinal tract and get into the blood where they can be measured in tTg blood tests.

@Sharke, The updated guidelines for a gluten challenge are to eat ten grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum. Lesser amounts of gluten (3 grams) don't provoke an immune response strong enough that the antibodies leave the gastrointestinal tract and get into the blood where they can be measured in tTg blood tests. Have no doubt that the antibodies made in the small intestine are doing damage there, even if you don't suffer severe symptoms, yet. Did you react to barley prior to going gluten free? Have you been checked for chronic autoimmune gastritis which is another autoimmune disease that sometimes occurs with Celiac Disease? Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies? Thiamine deficiency (Gastrointestinal Beriberi) can cause constipation and/or diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss.

@sillyyak52, Count another one in the same boat! My family has always been in denial. They said my tummy aches were a ploy to miss school. My parents passed from health problems associated with uncontrolled Celiac Disease (Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Glioblastoma brain tumor). My sister still has her head buried in the sand. I agree with @Rogol72, try the consequences of untreated celiac disease shock treatment. Sometimes people are just scared of having to change their comfortable lifestyle. -
I have never been tested for tTg 6 antibodies but I will certainly do that next time I'm at the doc's. Maybe there's a home test kit for that? I drink lactose free milk and seem to be ok so I'm probably not a casein case but...who knows?!
