I appreciate the information, but: celiac disease is not a sensitivity, it's not even an allergy it's an autoimmune disorder. I myself will say yes if resterant staff ask me if its an allergy just so they take it seriously, but I will never say the words its an allergy to anyone because celiac disease is not an allergy. I will normally say I have celiac disease and need to eat gluten free, then tell them what I am going to order.

I understand that wheat allergy are a real thing that some people have and that they can be life threatening. 

sensitivity is not the same thing as autoimmune disorder, with a sensitivity you get the discomfort,bloating etc. but no damage, with celiac disease being an autoimmune disorder you get discomfort,bloating etc. with damage to the vili in the small intestine and because of the damage you can't properly absorb normal nutrients when the trigger is consumed, in the case of celiac disease when gluten is consumed you can't properly absorb normal nutrients from the gluten food so the body attacts itself making you unable to properly absorb normal nutrients from the consumed food, you then experience symptoms because of eating gluten, from my personal experience (I have celiac disease) recovery can take up to 3 days to feel 100% better if you acsidently consumed gluten.

when you live in places that only have to mention wheat because its an allergy and not have to mention any other gluten ingredients in contain statement is not right, if any thing that has gluten in it is in the product it should  have to be included. I am personally Lucky to live in Canada were all forms of gluten must be listed in contain statement and ingredients list, but from what it sounds like is that  people in the USA only have to mention wheat if present in contain statement. if the USA only has to mention wheat if present in contain statement that is bad because that's only one form of gluten, some times in Canada  I have seen some products with more then one gluten ingredient listed, not just wheat.

What do you mean by "all forms of gluten"?

when I say all forms of gluten I mean:  wheat, rye, barley, Triticale, spelt, malt in various forms like: malted barley flour, malt extract, malt syrup, malt flavoring, malt vinegar, Brewer's Yeast etc. just to name a few.

Okay. I wasn't sure if you were misapplying the term "gluten" as some do by referring to "corn gluten" and "rice gluten".

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      By glucel · Posted

      That's interesting because I think that the lousy 81 mg irritates my gut. I'm sensitive to drugs in general and blood thinners are all the same to me so aspirin necessary evil. As they say, better to be a live chicken than a dead duck.

      Water filters and gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I've been using a Brita water filter for well over a decade without any issues. I seriously doubt that these water filter companies would use glues that would end up in your water, as that would be counter to what they are trying to do, which is to purify tap water. Please provide some specific evidence to back this claim up, as such speculation can cause undo fear, as well as reputational damage to these companies. Don't get me wrong here, I am not saying that this isn't possible, but is very unlikely.

      2 months in... struggling with symptoms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @aperlo34! You said you had a colonoscopy "ordered" in July? Has that procedure happened yet? A colonoscopy cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease so I assume the order for the colonoscopy is to check for something else. The procedure used to diagnose celiac disease is the endoscopy. So, I assume you have had blood antibody testing done and it was positive and then you had an endoscopy/biopsy done to confirm those results? That is the normal process for diagnosing celiac disease. Have your constipation/irregularity problems improved since going gluten free? Some of the continuing symptoms you describe would seem to fall into the category of neurological effects (muscle twitching, shakiness, weakness and headaches) and others such as dry eyes, fatigue, stiffness and joint aches sound like they could be autoimmune effects. Are you taking any high potency to vitamin and mineral supplements? Celiac disease often/typically results in vitamin and mineral deficiencies due to malabsorption from the damage to the small bowel lining it causes. I note that your vitamin D levels are barely within normal range and the only B vitamin testes is B12. The B vitamins and D3 are very important to neurological health. And the several B vitamins all work together synergistically. So, they all need to be up to snuff, not just B12. I would suggest starting on D3 supplementation in the amount of about 5000 IU daily and also a high potency B-complex. Costco's Nature Made and Kirkland brand products are good quality and priced well and usually gluten free (and will state so on the packaging). Realize also that gluten free flours and facsimile foods are not fortified as are their FDA mandated gluten equivalents. So, when you cut out gluten, you cut out a significant source of vitamins. One thing to be aware of is that Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder and autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. That is, when you have one you there is a good chance you will develop others in time. I don't wish to alarm you because I know you have said you already struggle with heath anxiety but many of your symptoms make me think you have some other autoimmune condition going on in addition to celiac disease. Have you been checked for Sjogren's or lupus for instance?  Finally, I am including an article that is helpful to newly diagnosed celiacs in getting a head start on the learning curve of eating gluten free:

      Gluten Ataxia

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
