Hello Eveyone,

I am a bit new to this but here it goes. :)

I have Hashimotos (which is a thyroid condition) already and now have been diagnosed with Gluten Intolerance. From what I have been told this pretty much goes hand in hand

I have not been feeling that well, and was wondering if any of you have felt this way.

As soon as I eat my stomach starts to gurgle and then I pretty much have to go to the bathroom right away. After I go to the bathroom I feel pretty ill, my stomach gets bloated and I can't really go anywhere just in case I have to go to the bathroom right away. Most of the time I feel sick the rest of the day.

Is this the way you feel after eating gluten? Or could it be that I am allergic to MSG as well?

Any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

:unsure:

I could be gluten, or it could be intestinal problems, or something else. I take special enzymes and manuka honey and mastic gum and it's made a world of difference.

Welcome to the group!

I also have Hashimoto's and gluten intolerance. After a couple of months on the gluten-free diet I figured out that I'm also intolerant to corn (and possibly dairy... I'm going to give that another try after I'm done breastfeeding my casein-intolerant son). I had problems with constipation, gas, and bloating for YEARS. It made me look like I was about four months pregnant <_< Sometimes I had bouts of diarrhea (depending on what time of the month), but mostly constipation.

The best way to heal is to eat a really natural diet... meat, vegetables, a little fruit, nuts, avocados, etc... gluten-free "goodies" (cookies, doughnuts, brownies) can help you make the transition, but even the non-gluten grains are difficult for a lot of people to digest. MSG (and other chemicals like nitrates, aspartame, high fructose corn syrup, etc...) are basically poisons disguised as food :ph34r:

I often didn't even make it the end of my meal before I had to go. Did they do a celiac panel on you or a biopsy? What were the results if they did?

It can take a while to get the hang of the gluten free lifestyle and all that goes with it. How long have you been gluten free?

I was diagnosed about a year ago through saliva and blood testing.

I think I am starting to figure this out. I believe its the combo of the MSG and the Gluten that is just killing me. I also feel bloated did you feel bloated when you were eating gluten?

Hello,

I was wondering if you mught know if a good cookbook or some good salad dressings that are gluten free.

Has your Hashimoto's gotten better since you went glute free?

:)

Hi,

I was wondering if you could tell me where you can buy the Manuka Honey and the Mastic Gum.

Thanks, :)

Sorry this won't be much help <_<

I make up a lot of my own recipes. My husband is from the Ivory Coast (West Africa) and he taught me how to make a basic "sauce" a long time ago. I also make stir-fried vegetables, soup, omelets, roasted meat and potatoes (delicious with sweet potatoes), coconut milk smoothies... I've picked up a lot of basic techniques over the last ten years! Baking is a different story... I haven't done much lately. A lot of the gluten-free recipes use dairy and/or corn, so they haven't been much use to me.

Salad dressings are a problem for me because of the dairy and corn derivatives. If I want dressing this summer I'll make a simple vinaigrette on my own. :P

My Hashimoto's symptoms are definitely better on the gluten-free diet, especially since I've become really, really strict about processed foods and cross-contamination. I'm not constipated, my skin is not so dry, I'm definitely not depressed (which is GREAT)... but I'm still having some problems with low blood pressure and irregular periods. It's tricky to sort things out when you have more than one autoimmune disorder. The important thing is that I seem to be going in the right direction :)

You did help. I love stir-fry :lol:

My problem is also the MSG is killing me cause everything I eat goes through me. Is that the gluten intolerance or its probably MSG. I have a lot of research to do. I have to go very strict diet as well.

Thanks for your help

So it's not normal! I often feel like food is "passing straight through me" as soon as I'm done eating, and get stomach upset and cramps. If I don't get diharrea, I feel like I'm going to, and it often takes a good dose of ginger (my best friend) to make me feel better. It's not always after i've eaten gluten, but food with too much garlic or onions, possible msg or preservatives, and god knows what else does a real number on me. These problems have been increasing (or becoming more apparent) over the past few years and I'm seriously doubting my negative blood test.

the best thing for me currently is to avoid msg and chemical preservatives, raw garlic and onions, and anything too spicy, as they seem to cause more problems than simply eating gluten. what do you think?

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat.

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
