Giving up grains entirely

I was diagnosed after forty years of misdiagnosis about 15 years ago. 
In the last 10 years I’ve found I really can’t tolerate rice,corn, quinoa, millet or anything bordering on a grain without joint inflammation and brain fog (same symptoms as with celiac).

I nearly died from celiac, with iron infusions monthly, B12 shots, I had premature babies with badly formed placentas and lost a child, I had advanced osteoporosis at 42, a diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer’s at 48.

im not likely to try reintroducing any grains at this point, but I’d like to know how damaging these other grains are to intestines?

The vast majority of people with celiac disease can eat the grains you mentioned, unless those grains happen to be cross-contaminated with wheat, however, some celiacs report not getting better until they eliminate all grains, and/or other foods such as milk/dairy, oats, eggs, etc.

Grains are high in plant defense chemicals known as lectins. Lectins are not well-tolerated by many in the celiac community.

      Help with results

      By Tracey Thomas · Posted

      Hi, so I go back to dermatologist to get my stitches out and find out biopsies results. So now they are saying it’s a type of hives and there thinking it’s coming from my B12 that I started 6 weeks ago. Which was around this time I got terrible rash all over top part of body now it’s on my face neck and some in scalp hairline. So they told me to stop the b12 for 2 weeks take antibiotics and Zyrtec 3 times a day. I just don’t know what to think. Now get this I was low in B12 that s why I was told to start taking them. So  got the natures valley gummies B12 for adults. Anyone ever had this problem

      Shaking/Tremors and Off Balance

      By Wormsy22 · Posted

      Hello. I am new to this but keep coming back to this site looking for information..so I just signed up after seeing the post discussing "shaking inside".  I have been really struggling to figure out what is wrong ... same old story as what everyone on here says...been to every doctor...clean blood labs...etc. I did a TTG test but I didn't know what I was doing (and neither did my doctor apparently) as now I'm realizing it likely isn't valid as it was only about 3 weeks after a full 9 week "no grain" diet...and after going back to gluten it was much lighter than before the no grain diet. Anyway...I tried to go "no grain" to see if it would help with some general inflammation (knees, hands and like the start of this thread...so off balance "walking sideways" kinda vibes).  I did not notice tremendous improvement so I added wheat/grain back into my diet...and after about 3 weeks I started getting bad headaches, my hands/feet/face started tingling...and a very very unsettling "vibration" feeling inside my head started.  It is now going through my whole body.  It is a very odd sensation ... and pretty scary actually.  But I've now had tons of blood tests (all clean)...an MRI on my brain (clean)...and a EMG Nerve Conduction test (clean).  So...apparently I'm in great shape but I have terrible headaches, tingling/numb hands/feet/face...and "internal vibrations" that make me think I'm shaking so hard in the bed I"m going to wake my wife.   Here is the kicker..I have zero gastrointestinal issues.  None.  I've never had any.  Maybe some light acid reflux from time to time but overall, I've had a steel tank stomach.   I'm out of doctors to try.  Running out of tests (and money).  I've been back to gluten free for about 3 weeks with no improvement.  And worry if I go too long then I can't blood test properly.... I'm out of gas with this.  And really have a hard time believing all these random symptoms could be gluten?    Anybody in this same crazy position?  Any information or thoughts are much appreciated.

      Provitalize - probiotic/herbal supplement

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      A quick look at their website and Provitalize claims to be gluten-free, so I wonder if you are getting gluten or some other food that you have an intolerance to in your diet? https://thebbco.com/products/provitalize Shortly after my celiac disease diagnosis I kept a food diary on an Excel spreadsheet (you could use Google Sheets) to track what I ate, and what my reactions were, if any. This allowed me to identify foods that caused me IBS-like symptoms, and in my case I had to eliminate chicken eggs, dairy, tomatoes, and corn, at least for a while (I was able to add them back to my diet after being gluten-free a few years, once my villi healed). To begin an elimination diet, it makes sense to start with the top most common food allergens, as identified by regulatory agencies like the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) and health organizations like the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), and eliminate them one at a time for 2-3 weeks, then add the item back and record any symptoms or issues you might have. It might make sense to start this process in this order: Milk Eggs Peanuts Tree nuts (such as almonds, cashews, walnuts) Soy Fish Shellfish (such as shrimp, crab, lobster) Sesame seeds Mustard
