"i See Gluten Allergies!"

As I am learning to accept my diagnosis and trying to figure exactly how it came about for me (I didn't have sever physical symptoms) I am starting to see the potential for nearly everyone I meet to have an allergy to gluten! Maybe it is just because I have been reading this forum so much, but I'm feeling like gluten is evil at the moment. And I can link any symptom a friend happens to mention to it! I feel like I should stay fair and balanced, as all healthy things are, but I'm having a hard time resisting a nazi-like hatred of gluten at the moment. I am having a hard time feeling positive, or even neutral, when I see co-workers freely eating bagels and pastries and cracked wheat bread and...

I think that your response is quite natural! I am starting to get a mental picture of "Open Original Shared Link" every time I see billboards featuring hamburgers in buns, pizza, breaded chicken, that kind of thing! My husband just laughs because I'm always saying "they need to get their thyroid checked" or "they should be tested for celiac" when I notice things about other people, LOL.

It's not an unheard of sentiment. There are even doctors who are out there saying gluten is toxic for everyone. I'm reading "Dangerous Grains" and "Cereal Killers". Really making me see gluten as poison!

I think I need that. Like you, I don't get really sick. My symptoms are subtle, and I'm not instantly reactionary if I eat gluten. It will be easy for me to cheat if I don't see gluten in the worst possible light.

Gluten is not an issue for me but I do have food intolerances and diabetes. When I was first diagnosed with diabeties, I would see the word "poison" on pretty much every food I saw because I didn't know what to eat. That got better with time. But it was still a very long time before I would be around other people eating food. I just figured if I couldn't eat it, I shouldn't torture myself by seeing others eat it. Now I pretty much just don't care.

I understand what you mean. Not only have I been diagnosed with celiac but also prediabetes. What to eat, is a constant question. I did cheat for hail, now as I'm learning more about the severity of the disease, I'm more careful.

I always say... I am like the little kid in that scary movie who sees dead people everywhere?

I see celiacs everywhere. :unsure:

(because they ARE everywhere.)

      @BoiseNic Have you tried the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?  This Paleo diet cuts out most everything except meat, veggies and some fruits.  By cutting out all the carbohydrates, especially processed ones, the carbohydrate loving bacteria and fungi like Candida get starved out and die off.  After that, taking probiotics to help repopulate the gut is beneficial.  The new strains of bacteria don't have to fight the established unhealthy yeasts and bad bacteria which causes a rise in histamine levels which can make one feel sick.   Certain vitamins help keep bad bacteria and fungi at bay.  Thiamine is one.  Antibiotics can deplete Thiamine stores.  The Gluten free diet can be low in Thiamine and the other vitamins and minerals needed for healthy skin and digestive tract.  Vitamin C, Vitamin D, zinc, and Niacin B 3 are important to skin health.  Niacin is especially helpful in Dermatitis Herpetiformis.  I like the kind that flushes (Nicotinic Acid - not the same as nicotine in cigarettes).  The flushing gets less and less the longer it's taken, but Niacinamide which doesn't cause flushing can be taken instead.     Here's an interesting article.  Compare the bacteria mentioned in the article with your Skinesa and then with the Visbiome probiotics.   The Role of Probiotics in Skin Health and Related Gut–Skin Axis: A Review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10385652/ Visbiome https://www.visbiome.com/collections/all/products/visbiome-capsules

      The short answer is if it hurts, don't do it. Yogurt may help sooth your gut and repopulate it with benificial bacteria.  I prefer whole milk yogurt because it is not processed and the no fat yogurt is processed dehydrated milk powder with guar gums and water added to make it mouth feel like fat.  Especially in early healing there may be other foods you cannot tolerate for a while.

      I guess I would encourage you to abstain from the wine for a while. If you know something causes you pain then it is a good idea not to do it if you don't have to.

      We have had numbers of others on this forum report pain in that same area. Have you been checked for an H. Pylori infection? This is something very common in the celiac population.
