Can I Cheat A Little?

Diagnosed with Celiac four years ago. I eat corn flakes, Kix cereal which have some malt flavoring. No stomach problems but my legs are feeling kind of weak> Could this be a problem arising out of eating this kind of food. I never have had any stomach problems ever. Would you folks give me some advice about this problem? It may not even be tied (weakness in legs) to the cereal. Thanks in advance for your help.

Are you kidding??? :blink: No gluten is okay for a celiac. Certainly, you know this. If you never had a stomach problem, you have no "warning signal". When you ingest gluten, you kick up the autoimmune response.

Stop it right now... and see if the weak legs go away.

There's your answer. ;)

and a PS...my legs are weak from gluten and you have no idea what damage you may be doing, hon!

The stomach and intestines are not the only organs affected by celiac. Your 'cheating a little' could be impacting your brain and nervous system. Please go with something like Chex or another gluten free cereal and get strict with the diet. You don't want that weakness to progress to the point where you start to have trouble with walking or other issues that may take months or years to resolve. You also don't want to find out that your 'cheating a little' has lead to something like lymphoma.

      Medicinal mushrooms 🍄

      By Liquid lunch · Posted

      I don’t think it matters much if you trust the supplier, I get them from a Welsh company maesyffin mushrooms but I think the guy there has retired from growing now and just resells eu imports so it’s probably the same mushrooms he uses to make the tinctures as the company you posted. It’d probably be cheaper to buy dried and make your own tincture.

      Could this be Celiac disease?

      By Chissers · Posted

      Thank you for your prompt reply. Have others experienced LUQ and L sided back pain when on gluten? Could gluten be irritating the pancreas to cause the slight rise in lipase?

      Medicinal mushrooms 🍄

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      Wow! I'd be interested to know where you get the tinctures. You can DM me if you wish. There's a Spanish company ... hifasdaterra ... who make high quality medicinal mushrooms in capsule form.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      There is dextrose in table salt?

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By trents · Posted

      Jason, I have a bone to pick with your terminology. There is "gluten intolerance" which I believe is synonymous with celiac disease and then there is "gluten sensitivity" which comes from Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or NCGS for short. It is true, however, that there is still a lot of inconsistency in the use of these terms.
