Finally Found The Culprit

I've been feeling unwell for a few weeks and trying to find the cause has been killing me, but I think I finally have it. I reread labels on all supplements. The Spring Valley Vitamin E I started on a little while does not list soy as an ingredient, but it is not mentioned along with the things it is free of: gluten, salt, sugar, artificial color or flavor, starch, wheat or lactose.

That got me suspicious so I went to the manufacturer

Vitamins have got me so many times, I am very careful of them now. Good job on finding that issue!

Yep..vitamin E, also called topherol got me too! It took a while to figure out. I get violently ill from soy oil..and lethicin too. I've read that a lot of people don't react to the oil or lethicin..but I guess we are ones who do?

I'm SO glad you figured this out. I know you've been wracking your brain trying to get to the bottom of what was getting you.

Wishing you speedy healing!

OK, I thought I had this figured out, but I got hit again this morning. I've been taking GNC Solotron as my multi-vitamin. The product website states clearly that it does not contain soy. BUT when looking more closely at ingredients, the E is from d-alpha Tocopheryl Succinate. Looking further into that, I found that it was derived from wheat germ, but is now derived from soybean oil. Either way, it is a problem. So are labeling laws in the States.

Hope this helps someone else out there.

      Test results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For someone with celiac disease who might have extreme villi damage the term "cross-reactivity" gets thrown around a lot.  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Help Understanding Test Results

      This test was positive according to the original post, so the next normal step would be a biopsy: TTG IGG - 9 U/mL (0-5 range) @Brown42186 Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Hunger, nervous stomach or Hpylori?

      By trents · Posted

      Connie, spinach is high in oxalates. Many celiacs do not tolerate oxalates well.  If you are still battling dermatitis herpetiformis, you may want to look into a low iodine diet as well as reviewing possible sources of gluten cross contamination.

      Do you eat outside your home, especially in restaurants, as this can be a source of cross-contamination. If you need to take dapsone still your diet may not be 100% gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      I was diagnosed 5 years ago. I also have celiac rash which is no longer an issue thanks to maintenance dose of dapsone.  I ate spinach with lemon juice  and had terrible pain after. My mother whom I suspect had undiagnosed celiac disease developed a duodenal ulcer that turned into a sarcoma late in life . My celiac clinic suggests seeing my family doctor.
