Celiac Disease Misdiagnosed as IBS
paisleydaisy replied to Musicfem's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Yep. Me for years. Ran limited blood tests because Celiac runs in my family but totally missed it for numerous reasons and just kept telling me it was IBS caused by anxiety and to take Valium and peppermint oil 'as needed'. I agree with all the above. Doctors are much more onto it these days and the diagnostics are also simplifying . -
WHAT A REPLY. Ha. This made me smile so much for multiple reasons. Timepoor as I'm reading it so won't write as much as I want to but will say I carried Xanax with me for 2 whole years. But never used it again after the last panic attack. What a long time you too were undiagnosed! It's tempting to be frustrated that so much of life was like that...

This was one of my major issues before changing diet. The sudden dizziness spells without being lightheaded. It still happens sometimes and I want to pin it on another aspect of diet (because once you can do that with gluten and some stuff, it's tempting to boil everything down to diet, I find, and that's just...not quite accurate some of the time) but it...

Wow! This was me all last year. How weird! I really couldn't figure it out and I still haven't. But I do know there are some foods that if I eat a lot of them, I feel like that afterwards. Not because of intolerance (because they're fairly benign ones) but something in the balance. I think it's something to do with protein. I would never eat a whole steak...

I felt worse for a few weeks, in a way I can't quite describe. Most people I know didn't feel that way but I know it's not uncommon. And things that were better felt weird so uncomfortable (ie. stomach all light and airy rather than constantly full). I was starving and sweating and shaking, too, after not having much appetite for years. But I felt better...

Reacting to new foods in diet - has anyone experienced this?

Totally agree with this. I don't eat fake processed foods and do better with 'real' dairy than processed alternatives, but do struggle with things like dairy in bulk. Moderation! I probably always did but am more attuned to gut now and it isn't always chaos so I notice what hurts more than I used to. Other than gluten, it's not going to kill me though...

Do you understand the genetics? DQ 2.2
paisleydaisy replied to paisleydaisy's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Ha. Thanks! It does but I like alphabet soup! It seems that 2.2 is related indeed but I'm just not sure (because DQ 2.2 is something coming from 3 snps not 1, as per the others) what defines it (as in the 1 allele or many). I also don't know does everybody have it and just different alleles? I thought I understood genetics and I don't. ha. I thought... -
About 24 hrs. With my grandmother it's 7 days, like clockwork. It must vary a lot.

I know some people believe there's a spectrum to all this but just wondering about your thoughts and experiences on first degree relatives who have had lifelong symptoms (DH, miscarriages, stomach and metabolism issues etc., debilitating joint pain etc.) , were shocked to find that that their symptoms vanished on gluten-free diet, did the 6 week challenge...

Microwave use by celiac disease and non-celiac disease users
paisleydaisy replied to Leeger's topic in Super Sensitive People
I've wondered about this forever! ha. Thanks -
Just adding in that other intolerances are common BUT I was reading a study last night about how gluten-free diets lead to a reduction in various good bacteria and things like butyrate so a lot of people simultaneously have improved digestion but also alterations and sometimes other sorts of worsening on it. High fibre and probiotics were recommended ...

Hi! Just a positive note from someone 4 years into the gluten-free diet who had questions about worsening food intolerances, no change in lifelong insomnia and ongoing panic attacks (which came out of the blue a few years prior and lead to full blown agoraphobia quite suddenly 'for no reason'). It ALL went away. It took a while but all went away and feels...

Hi all! This forum is so great! I'm learning a lot. And I've got a question for you if you understand genetics. I'm relatively sciencey, have a 3 year old we're investigating (as he has relative and had symptoms as a baby), know all about DQ2.5 etc. and that research shows if you have DQ2.5/DQ2.2 you're at only a slightly lower risk than double 2...
