Just wanted to express some relief here. Being newly gluten-free, there are still many situations I haven't dealt with, one being family gatherings. I was nervous about one coming up this spring and just found out that two of my sisters-in-law are now gluten-free also! I'm sure I'll have to talk to them about details of the gathering but I am relieved not to feel like I'll be swimming against the stream, at least not the only one. Whew!

I do know that feeling of relief. I am going to spend a week with my gluten free sister so although I have a few intolerances she doesn't, life will be easy :lol: Except our other sister has decided to come visit at the same time just to make the two of us feel weird :unsure: To her I say :P:P:P

I am so jealous! I've been trying to convince nearly everyone in my immediate family that they should look into testing or try the diet as they all seems suspicious for gluten intolerance to me.......it would make things so much easier at holiday time just to have a "partner" (or two) so to speak. Good for you though! Just curious, did you convince them or did they pursue it on their own?

      Food Tasting Salty

      By Mnofsinger · Posted

      Those are great points and some follow up thoughts and ideas. I think you're both stating the same thing in two different ways, but I appreciate the "accuracy" of what you're getting to.   1. Are you both stating that the "too salty of a taste" could be triggered by a histamine reaction, and the flavor is coming from the electrolytes? If that is the case, wouldn't the individuals mouth always be salty during a "Glutening" situation, or are we saying that the person could get "use to the flavor" until introducing food or beverage and that could be enough to "stir the pot" and notice the salty flavor? 2. To push back on "#1": If that were true anyone with issues of histamine releasing foods/treatments would experience the same thing. Also, I did not experience a situation where most beverages were "too salty". Thoughts?

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By trents · Posted

      The only vegetable sources of B12 are some fermented bean products using a certain microbiotic culture. It is next to impossible to get adequate B12 from vegetable sources without supplementation. Same with D3. Some mushrooms can make D3 when exposed to UV light. Are you vegetarian or vegan? Do you do dairy and eggs or no animal products at all? Low B12 and D3 could definitely cause or contribute to many of the symptoms you have been experiencing but would not cause celiac disease. It is more likely the other way around, especially if you are a vegetarian eating no animal products. Many of your symptoms seem neurological in nature. It is well known that the B vitamin complex is vital to neurological health but so is D3. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9820561/

      Grain fed cow milk vs 100% Grass fed cow milk

      Russ, can you link an article supporting your assertion that small amounts of gliadin are detectable in human breast milk? Not doubting you but it would be nice to have the whole text for reference.

      Got it. Thanks Scott. I'll set up an appointment with a GI after the holidays and get all the celiac disease screening done. Thanks to this amazing forum and to all who have answered my question, I now know what my next steps are.
