I may have posted something along these lines before but just wondering if anyone else has experienced biopsies of stomach(specifically the antrum/lower stomach)  at time of celiac diagnoses coming back as showing mild chronic stomach inflammation?is this common in undiagnosed celiac and something that usually gets better on a gluten free diet?is it possible the irritation from celiac could spread to lower part of the stomach??

Others have reported this symptom, so it could definitely be related to your recent celiac diagnosis:

Hopefully it will clear up on a gluten-free diet, and I guess the only way to know for sure would be to get a follow up biopsy after several months or a year.

I’m just so scared this may not resolve on a gluten free diet and it’s been so painful and hard to live with I’ve had so many appointments and so many tests done at this point and can’t figure out what else would be causing the inflammation...I’m feeling a bit hopeless at this point as my symptoms don’t seem to be common in other celiacs..

I think there is a lot to be hopeful about. You've found out that gluten is essentially toxic for you, and have hopefully transitioned to a 100% gluten-free diet (usually this means that you should avoid eating out unless you're sure the meal isn't cross-contaminated). From what I know about celiac disease it could very well cause inflammation throughout your digestive tract, including the stomach issues you have. I think you need to get it some time, and consider taking anti-inflammatory supplements like gluten-free turmeric (with meals).

Okay...Thankyou so much for the reassurance and advice,yes I’ve been very strictly gluten free and don’t eat out right now.I will look into getting some turmeric. Thanks again 😊💛

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Hi Lily Ivy. Thanks for responding. Did you have withdrawal? If so, what was it like and for how long?

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By trents · Posted

      @Manaan2, have you considered the possibility that she might be cross reacting to some food or foods that technically don't contain gluten but whose proteins closely resemble gluten. Chief candidates might be dairy (casein), oats (avenin), soy, corn and eggs. One small study showed that 50% of celiacs react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) like they do gluten.
