Man This D Is Getting Old....

Feeling fine this morning.....everything ok.

Bam 10:45 stomach rumbling hits and here it comes.

Only thing I can think is it's something in Chinese food that's doing this.

I seem to get sicker from eating Chinese food than anything else. I'm guessing

it's pretty pervasive in this cuisine...

Here's the question. If I have Celiac would it make my stomach tender so that

many things might make me sick...i.e. not just Gluten Intolerant but have trouble

digesting other things too?....

The answer to that question is YES!

There's all sorts of gluten in Chinese food. Soy sauce is mostly wheat (you'd think it would mostly be soy - but no B))

First of all YES on the Chinese food!! If it has soy sauce, it's loaded with wheat!! Most soy sauce has wheat as one of the first ingredients. Many of the sauces will have wheat or soy sauce in them.

Secondly, you can have other problems. My Enterolab tests had come back with a high number for casein. I ignored it because I was feeling so much better gluten-free. It got to the point the past couple weeks that I've had terrible brain fog -- I feel high much of the time to the point that my family has to make things real simple for me. I also have had no energy; fortunately, I have six kids and am very good at delegating! I got off casein two days ago and am having terrible withdrawal from it. This is the same thing that happened when I eliminated wheat (not gluten) from my diet four years ago! I am so lethargic I have spent most of the day in bed. Oh, the d has been there, too. It's the fog bank that's bothering me though. I am not getting hidden gluten, I know this is from the casein. I just hope I finally get better and it's not something else, too.

Sorry if my post didn't make sense - I meant that gluten intolerance can definitely make you more sensitive to other foods. You could have additional food intolerances, or, when you gut heals, all that might go away.

After your trip and testing, there is a gluten-free soy sauce. PF Changs has a gluten-free menu and they use the gluten-free soy sauce on those dishes. Don't forget to take the anti-D stuff on your trip. You don't want to spend all the time in the bathroom instead of enjoying the trip. I would just take it all the time and not wait for the D to hit.

Jerry, you still have time to get the test before you leave. You won't have the results back until after the trip so you won't have to worry about the diet on the trip. Then you could start your gluten free diet (if required) as soon as you get back home. The sooner you go gluten free (if you have celiac) the better the chance of less damage. Have fun on your trip!!!

      Orgain Protein Powder

      I've not tried the product, but it is definitely possible that it contains barley and wheat grass, and is gluten-free. I would imagine that they are regularly testing their product for gluten content, since they are making the claim that their product is gluten-free. I personally avoid these ingredients, but some celiacs do consume them without issues. PS...

      Orgain Protein Powder

      https://nationalceliac.org/celiac-disease-questions/do-wheat-grass-and-barley-grass-contain-gluten/ I find this helpful. I will update you on what the company says but most likely will choose one of their products without the wheat and barley grass. Overall, I think the other powders should be safe and I will try them.

      Irregular periods AFTER going gluten-free?

      It’s great to hear that you’re feeling better overall since going gluten-free, but I can understand how these new menstrual symptoms are frustrating and confusing. Hormonal fluctuations and changes in your cycle after a celiac diagnosis are not uncommon. When the body starts healing from prolonged inflammation and malabsorption, it can affect hormones, pa...

      Wholefoods 365 Organic Wheatgrass Powder

      I noticed on the label: https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/product/whole-foods-market-organic-wheatgrass-powder-california-73-ounce-b07g333x4y that it says "Contain Wheat Ingredients," which probably means that it can include the protein from the wheat kernels/seeds.

She does not have issues with it.

      Perimenopause/menopause

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome back! Many celiac patients navigating perimenopause or menopause consider estrogen therapy, and there’s growing research highlighting its potential benefits. Estrogen has been shown to reduce certain health risks associated with menopause, such as cardiovascular disease, particularly in post-menopausal women. This is significant since studies suggest that women with celiac disease may already face an elevated risk of heart disease due to chronic inflammation or malabsorption issues prior to diagnosis. Estrogen therapy, whether through pills, patches, or other methods, can also help alleviate menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and bone loss, all of which can be exacerbated by nutrient deficiencies common in celiac patients before going gluten-free. Of course, the decision to use estrogen therapy is highly individual and depends on your health history, risk factors, and how well your body is responding to a gluten-free diet. If you're considering this route, it's a great idea to discuss it with your doctor. They can tailor a plan that aligns with your needs and monitor how the therapy affects your overall health. Hearing about others' experiences can also be helpful, so it's great you're reaching out to connect with others in the community!

      Irregular periods AFTER going gluten-free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s great to hear that you’re feeling better overall since going gluten-free, but I can understand how these new menstrual symptoms are frustrating and confusing. Hormonal fluctuations and changes in your cycle after a celiac diagnosis are not uncommon. When the body starts healing from prolonged inflammation and malabsorption, it can affect hormones, particularly those involved in your menstrual cycle. Additionally, going gluten-free can improve overall health, which might shift your hormone balance and alter your cycles. Delayed or irregular periods, cramping, and other new symptoms may be part of your body’s adjustment process, especially if your antibodies are still trending downward. While it’s reassuring that your labs are normal and serious conditions like PCOS or thyroid issues have been ruled out, these symptoms might take time to stabilize. You could also explore whether stress, diet changes, or other factors might be contributing. If things don’t improve soon, you might want to revisit your OBGYN to discuss hormone-specific testing, such as estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol levels, to check for imbalances. In the meantime, tracking your symptoms and cycles closely could help you and your doctors identify patterns or triggers. Hang in there—healing can take time, but you’re on the right path!
