Non glutenfree household


Dora77

Recommended Posts

Dora77 Apprentice

I am an asymptomatic celiac, so even if I eat gluten I feel no pain. 
 

But since 6 months I have stools which are very similar to malabsorption stools. Which could mean my small intestine is damaged which would lead to my body not being able to absorb nutrients. 
I live in a gluten household but we look out for not like dipping gluten bread in butter etc.

My mom doesnt make gluten food. But they sometimes make gluten noodle. And bread out of gluten flour. Mostly they buy premade gluten bread. But sometimes they also make it out of gluten flour, is this safe? Or should they completely avoid it? Because I know gluten flour is fine and can get everywhere. So what would be the right approach? Never making bread with gluten flour and cleaning the kitchen table to make sure there are no leftover gluten?

Also can I drink from someone others water bottle if he ate gluten like bread prior?

 

I don’t know what is causing my stools, maybe pancreas enzyme deficit. The only thing which could gluten me are:

what I said like gluten flour in our house (although we do it rare like 1 time in 2 months). I can tell my mom that she should completely avoid making bread of gluten flour. I guess for them to consume premade gluten bread would be fine?

Drinking from friends water bottle

And although I watch out for articles which state may contain gluten, a lot of spices like pepper have tons of stuff behind them like may contain peanuts or may contain gluten and I eat those peppers.

i live in germany and some times there are no gluten ingredients and no may contains but also no glutenfree label like in chips. Is this safe?

Is going near a bakery in for example a supermarket safe? Because of floating gluten in air.

I also dont eat out.

Also I guess all these stuff that I told you which could gluten me would be very small gluten. Do you think it will still damage my inner organs or make me unable to absorb nutrients? Even if I am asymptomatic? Its really hard to know for me because I don’t have any symptoms. My blood results always come fine I think, but I never did a endoscopy. And I heard blood results are unreliable.

The only thing I really worry about is that I don’t want to be unable to absorb nutrients. I don’t have sever stomach pain or similar symptoms. I have celiac since I am 14 and am currently 17,5. 

Would small cross contamination events that occur like 10 times in a month (like drinking from friends bottle, being near gluten airborne flour, etc) cause me to be unable in absorbing nutrients? I also don’t even know how my blood results are but there isn’t anything that explains my stools beside epi or celiac.

Also could it still be that my body can absorb nutrients and function normally even though I have floating undigested stools since 6 months and they are permanent never once had normal stools since 6 months. I also take vitamins and can finally fall asleep under 1 hour since taking vitamin d, etc. but I am scared that my body cant absorb vitamins, protein fully.

Of course in a perfect world it would be great if the entire family can go gluten-free, but that is unrealistic in most cases. 

For your family who eat regular gluten breads, it would be better if they ate prepared breads rather than baking them in your house, but if some in your home really like to bake, it would at least be advisable to create some rules around when they do it, and how they clean up after, so that you don't get contamination. Keeping your food safe is very important, especially if they bake wheat products in your home.

Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months.

Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Welcome to the forum, @jamiet06, Yes, it does point in that direction.  Your report says "Correlation with clinical findings and results of serological studies is recommended"  is saying you should undergo a gluten challenge and be tested for antibodies associated with Celiac Disease.   These antibodies are produced in celiac disease in response to gluten, but you have to eat generous amounts of gluten for the antibodies to show up in the bloodstream. A gluten challenge means you eat 10 grams or more of gluten  (4 to 6 slices of gluten containing bread or equivalent or more) per day for a minimum of two weeks.

      @elizabethhousworth, I found that supplementing with Riboflavin Vitamin B2 has helped my migraines immensely.   Effect of Vitamin B2 supplementation on migraine prophylaxis: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33779525/ "Conclusions: A pooled analysis of available randomized controlled clinical trials demonstrated that Vitamin B2 400 mg/day for three months supplementation had significant effect on days, duration, frequency, and pain score of migraine attacks." Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs  have found supplementing with a form if thiamine vitamin B1 called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps in autism.  Treatment of autism spectrum children with thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide: a pilot study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12195231/ The Rationale for Vitamin, Mineral, and Cofactor Treatment in the Precision Medical Care of Autism Spectrum Disorder https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9964499/ Hope this helps!

      Interesting reading on Histamine Intolerance (HIT): Histamine Intolerance: The Current State of the Art https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7463562/ Histamine Intolerance—The More We Know the Less We Know. A Review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8308327/   We need the enzyme DAO (Diamond Oxidase) to break down histamine.  Our body can make DAO with Pyridoxine B6, Vitamin C, and copper.  B12, zinc and magnesium, as well as thiamine, help, too.   DAO supplements made from beef or pork kidneys are available, too.

      Thank you! I did not realize the role of thiamine in hit healing. I will look for Life Extension then.
