Hey i was just wondering if any of you had gluten intolerance after food poisoning. If not then did the symptoms just come on gradually or were they triggered by somethingelse. Any response would be greatly appreciated.

I think my gluten intolerance came on gradually. When I was younger, like in my teenage years, I am sure I had symptoms, not too bad, but looking back they were there. You know crampy stomach, brittle nails, low iron levels at time, depressed etc etc.

Over the last few years, before diagnosis, I have probably had food poisoning or something similar a couple of times. Where the rest of the family would have it for 24 hours, for me it would last about 4 days, and even after that I would have to be careful what I ate. Having said that it would probably look like a tummy bug could bump the intoloerance along, but I think it is just that my stomach was not as good as it could've been, so it took longer to get over a bug.

My husband Ric became gluten intolerant in his 50s. No one in is family that we know of has Celiac. We think it may have been triggered by over use of antibiotics. He was seeing a dermatologist for many years who kept switching his meds. After getting no results from doctors, I found this web site and he tried a gluten-free diet with great results (he is not officially diagnosed Celiac). This acne also cleared up after doing gluten-free.

My probs started with typhiod and my stomach just never got better .. it took my a year to discover it awas gluten (living in Africa made it easier because I ate only fresh food) ... and 3 years after that to actually admit to myself it was probably coeliac and get tested.

However Im sure i already had it 20/20 hindsight is wonderful! Now I look back the symptoms were obvious but I guess the thing is they build up then you get a real knockback (typhiod is just a particular strain of salmonella) and this pushes you over the edge.

I agree with you, for me , coeliac built up slowly, and then something happened, and your body probably can't deal with the extra stress, and wham, you realise that something is wrong besides the stomach upset because it takes forever to come back normal, as in energy etc.

I think child birth might have triggered mine. However, it was seven years between the birth and when my body shut down (had no vili standing). Started to get really sick after I started drinking coffee!

It definitely could be triggered by food poisoning. I think I had mild symptoms for years. Then I got the flu, and it must have been immune system overload, and I never got better. Now, a year and a half later, I'm thankful that I got the flu and ended up so sick because it means I got diagnosed. Now I feel better than I have in probably eight years. I just wasn't sick enough for most of those eight years to realize that something was seriously wrong.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      By DayaInTheSun · Posted

      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.
