Our son was being treated for pericaditis and lupus when he was a teen.  Because he was on large doses of Plaquenil, NSAIDs, and Prednisone he was prescribed a PPI.  Instead of just a 14 day course as now recommended, he was on it for nearly 2 years.  He was misdiagnosed, so the only drug he actually needed was the steroid for the pericarditis. It was drug induced, not systemic lupus.  Once we knew that, we began the process of weaning him off the drugs under medical supervision.  He ended up with NAFLD, which the gastro pinned on the combo of all those drugs  for such a long time.  Even now almost 25 years later he has horrible gut problems. 

you should sue

Diagnosed 3 years ago by GI. At age 73. Never been sick in my life. You’re right it is totally overwhelming. Especially when you have a spouse that can’t understand it. I have DH reaction. But the gut pain is unreal. Dermatology tests showed allergy to wheat - negative! Sure! Allergists and dermatologists are not always the best source for diagnosing Celiac. Celiac many times comes with lactose intolerance. I tried lactose free milk. Took time for me to realize that I was still reacting to that. Oatly milk is the only one I can tolerate. Added vitamins. Huge improvement. I thought at my age it was time to enjoy eating out more. NOT! Not happy to be cooking at home but healthier. We travel a lot! Always have gluten free snack in my purse. Thought I could leave my kitchen as is. NOT! Convincing my husband was something else. It is overwhelming no doubt. But a good GI and accepting what you need to do to stay healthy will make a big difference. Hang in there. It will get better. 

I have Celiac, dermatitis herpetiformis yet I am not allergic, nor sensitive to wheat!  Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis is the autoimmune reaction, which is different from an allergic reaction.

      Gluten free nuts

      Thank you for all the excellent information. I moved from Wyoming to California. May be its where I am located but So far none of the Costco Kirkland brand I have looked at is labeled gluten free. Same with the Sam's Members Mark. The Kirkland nuts you mention all say they are processed in a plant that processes wheat. I am going to keep checking. Thank...

      Going for upper endoscopy today

      I’m glad you have a clear answer. Some endoscopes have enough magnification for the doctor to see the damage during the procedure.

      Top Brands of Gluten-Free Canned Chili

      While it seems unlikely to contain intentional gluten ingredients--and based on the ingredients you provided, this canned Wendy's chili appears to be gluten-free, but with a very important caveat: it cannot be considered certified or guaranteed gluten-free due to the potential for cross-contamination and the ambiguous nature of "natural flavors."

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I could not find the thread, but I recall at least one user who was drinking regular gluten beer daily but getting celiac blood tests done often (I think it was monthly) and doing a biopsy each year and all celiac disease tests were always negative. Everyone is different, but in general regular beer would be considered low gluten (not gluten-free!). I have no issues with Daura Damm, but those who are super sensitive might.
