My Dr Says I Do Indeed Have Celiac Or Gluten Intolerance

I just had a colonoscopy yesterday and for two days I ate Jello ..sugar free...I couldn't tell by the box if it was gluten free or not, but felt I had to eat SOMETHING. I also had gluten-free crackers [Energy brand] .. Anyway I didn't feel well the whole time I ate that stuff....or maybe it was the Dulcolax??

anyway...thought you could save me the phone call as I figured someone here would know about JELLO!

I saw my Lyme dr this morning and he looked at the test he ran on me 5 YEARS ago and said YES...stay away from gluten!!!!!! :o My test thru DiagnosTechs was 66...anything above 15 is high. SIGH.

I think I was in such a Lyme disease fog that it really didn't soak in. Celiac is not his specialty and he didn't explain that I should stay away from SO MANY foods I never thought of as being a problem. Anyway, after researching the net and visiting you lovely people I got the message........ ;)

Thanks in advance!

Jello is a Kraft company, so any gluten would be clearly listed. You had so much going on--the laxatives, I'm sure had a lot to do with it. Also, the artificial sweetener in the Jello could have not agreed with you. Are you feeling better now?

Thanks Patti. I'm sort of OK. Now I'm feeling like my stomach is hard. Better than the bloating I usually have though. One step above ;)

I hate aspartame, but I also have to avoid sugar.

Yep, it's been a rough week. Also have a bladder infection, blood in my urine. Lovely.

Hey Patti....what's logophobia?? :unsure:

Thanks for your help!

      Gluten free vitamins

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I have concerns about the calcium supplementation as well. Sounds like a good idea on the surface if you are trying to address bone density issues but when overdone it can have the opposite effect. Calcium supplementation increases gut PH (i.e., lowers gut acidity) which can interfere with vitamin and mineral (including calcium itself) absorption. Often, bone demineralization is not due to lack of calcium intake but to low gut acidity. This is why you will often see calcium supplement products paired with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Drinking OJ or tomato juice along with the calcium supplement can help with this as they are acidic juices. Calcium supplementation can also contribute to plaque arterial buildup I believe. I think it might be best to focus on rich natural sources of calcium.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      In that case if you answer "no" does that mean the chef doesn't have to be as diligent?  If you ask for "pork free" do they ask if it is an allergy too? How's this for an answer: "I get violently sick if I eat wheat, barley or rye"?

      Gluten free vitamins

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      I order my vitamins from Pipingrock.com. They also make Cream of Rice.  Clearly marked gluten free. Right next to the Cream of Wheat. Stoneyfield Whole Milk Yogurt will help repoputate your gut bacteria.  It has lactase so is ok for lactose intolerance. 6 ounces has 210 mg calcium. For magnesium I get the 10 ounce bottle of liquid Magnesium Citrate at the supermarket or drugstore ($3).  One or two ounces of it  in a glass of water.  Add ice and sugar if you like.  I like the Cherry or Grape best. Instead try: Cream of Rice, Cheese and Good Thins (rice crackers), scrambled eggs and gluten free toast. Do you need Calcium supplement?  Calcium from supplements can cause hypercalcemia, a condition that can lead to serious health complications.  Vitamin D increases calcium absorption.  Monitor 25)(OH)D vitamin D plasma and  parathyroid hormone (PTH).

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.
