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.

      @Jmartes71, Have you tried a naturopathic or holistic doctor?  Some posters in the past have commented theirs were more helpful than mainstream doctors.

      @HectorConvector,  Have you tried taking 500 mg of the Thiamine Mononitrate that you have left?   Thiamine Mononitrate may not be as helpful as other forms of thiamine, but since that's what you have on hand.    Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even at high doses needed to correct thiamine deficiency.   No harm in trying it. Neuroplastic changes in the brain may be caused by thiamine deficiency.   These changes can be seen in Wernicke's encephalopathy and Korsakoff's syndrome, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. I googled "Neuroplastic Sensitization syndrome and thiamine pubmed" and see for yourself what it says.   Try taking 500 mg Thiamine Mononitrate and look for health changes.

      This may seem non-relevant but I thought I'd add it here anyway to see what anyone thinks. Many might dismiss it but that's OK. I went through the entire history of this condition from its onset in 2010 or so, including the things that flare it up, and the timeline of what made it worse, the medications that worked and didn't, in ChatGPT (rolleyes I know lol)  and supplied it with all the clinical evidence I've had from tests etc.... After hours of "discussing" with it and finding research it "concluded" it's a chronic neuroplastic sensitization syndrome but of course said I should only get a proper diagnosis from a  doctor. When I saw the doctor on 9th February because this got worse he looked through all my medical history and the course of the "condition". I didn't tell him I'd used ChatGPT or mention what I thought it is because I still don't really know until I have a formal diagnosis. He came with the same conclusion as ChatGPT. Just thought it was an interesting co-incidence perhaps. As for myself, I'm not forming any conclusions til I can really know exactly what's happening and why and what stops it. Only then can I truly know.

      So I've been eatin no carbs in the evening and only a bit for my lunch so a big reduction. Well, made no difference, in fact it's actually got even worse. So everything I do makes it get worse. I said this to the doctor. He said he definitely thinks it's a neuroplastic pain condition where I've sensitized my nerves to max volume and now the pain has outgrown the medication max dose even though there is nothing physically wrong with my body. A bit earlier I had violent shocking evil burning nerve pain that made me nearly pass out and want to die again, also noticed this seems to be associated with sudden water retention. I've made hardly any pee in nearly 12 hours and despite drinking loads. Mouth is super dry. I am getting the "correct" sort of this when I've finished the current ones, so not long now. Can only get it on the internet here. Then I can say how it might change anything.
