Those Of You Who Have Self Diagnosed As Gluten Intolerance......maybe?

I'am one who had recently self diagnosed myself as gluten intolerance. You also may be familier with my user name around forums in the past. Though most recently I have re-introduced gluten back into my diet, as I've notice while on a gluten and yeast free diet, when removing yeast that's when the largest improvements were taking way. I have now concluded that I'am highly sensitive to mold, and likely too much mold within my environment ( house etc...), while I'am now on a mold free diet, I'am no longer on a gluten free diet. Those of you who have self diagnosed yourself as gluten intolerance, and other allergies, you could also likely be experiencing a harmful environment of mold, and/ or highly sensitive to mold as myself. Perhaps trying a mold free diet may help identify.

Since I did at a time self diagnosed myself as gluten intolerance, now eating gluten, in the near future I question as if there may be plans if I should get a appropriate celiac test done.

I thought I would let others know that mold could be a underlying cause of symptoms you've experience.

My visits on this forum ( as it already have) is likely to be rare ( unless I find out months later I'am celiac). Though with the start of this thread, I will come constantly to check for replies, until I notice this thread has drifted.

Also to note, I still buy many gluten free products ( due to being on a mold free diet), especially those that do not contain yeast ( such as some of their breads).

I do have a problem with mold, always have. I was a self diagnosed celiac, and now have been diagnosed as gluten intolerant. I know mold is a problem for me, but I also know gluten will never be a part of my life again.

If you feel good eating gluten, then maybe you are ok with it. If you aren't feeling alot better, then maybe you should have a test done for celiac disease, but remember, you can be gluten intolerant and not have celiac...celiac is just one part of the gluten intolerance spectrum.

I have a mold allergy in addition to being doctor-diagnosed with celiac disease. I never even realized the yeast-mold relation. Thanks for sharing and all the best to you :)

      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.

      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"?

      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.
