Worthless Doctors
Scott Adams replied to DJFL77I's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Yes, liver issues are fairly common, and if related, can go away on a gluten-free diet. Here are the articles we have on the topic: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/liver-disease-and-celiac-disease/ -
At this point it would be a good idea to request a check of your blood vitamin/mineral levels, especially: "Specifically, for vitamin A, 7.5% of patients showed deficient levels, for vitamin B6 14.5%, folic acid 20%, and vitamin B12 19%. Likewise, 67% of celiac patients showed zinc deficiency, 46% showed decreased iron storage, and 32% had anaemia."

Worthless Doctors

Well, many are under a lot of stress lately, and not used to practicing medicine during a pandemic. What were the results? -
Insomnia would not be a typical symptom of celiac disease, but in some people celiac disease manifests itself as a nerve disease, and some people can get ataxia, seizures, headaches, etc. It's possible that it is related, and if so, it should get better after time on a gluten-free diet. Have you tried exercise and meditation?

I think you should re-check your diet to make sure it's 100% gluten-free, as it sounds like you may have been getting some contamination.

CBD Oil
Scott Adams replied to CatcherInTheRye's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
You would likely need to look at their web pages, and perhaps ask them directly, but again, I'm not sure why gluten might be added to them. -
If you want to look more at the recent study, it is from the Mayo clinic:

Full recovery can take up to two years, IF you are 100% gluten-free, and that is easier said than done. Re-check you current diet to make sure there is zero gluten, and you should not eat out until you fully recover if you can avoid it. Some celiacs need to go on a FODMAP diet to get relief, or eliminate other foods they may have issues with, so a food diary...

Food For Life Gluten-Free?
Scott Adams replied to dappledorca's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
They are indeed a sponsor, and have been around for over 20 years and are one of the original prepared gluten-free breads. Many of their breads are also made using sprouted gluten-free breads. I've eaten their breads for many years without any issues, and I've not seen any complaints, product recalls, or other issues about the company. -
Mutiple biopsies
Scott Adams replied to El10's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Is it possible that they did not specifically look for celiac disease during the first endoscopy? To diagnose celiac disease they typically take at least 4 samples from very specific areas, and may not have done that in your case. I would ask. Have you had a celiac disease blood screening done? This is really the first step, before a biopsy is done... -
It's great to hear that you're health is improving. If a higher percentage of the calories you are eating come from fat and protein, it will make you leaner (this is the formula for the Atkins diet). To increase your weight one typically needs to increase the percentage of carbohydrates in their diet, but many carbs are not healthy, so proceed with caution...

CBD Oil
Scott Adams replied to CatcherInTheRye's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I can't think of a reason that CBD oil would contain any gluten, but then again, there are 100's of foods that shouldn't contain hidden gluten, but do. I suppose they could put cheaper wheat germ oil in it to be more profitable by diluting the product. I do think many celiac could benefit from using CBD oil, as it has many benefits, especially for those whose... -
Among first degree relatives who are female studies have shown that the odds of your mother also having it are over 44%. All first-degree relatives of celiacs should also be screened, even if they don't have symptoms.
-
That's great to hear that you were able to get the appointment expedited, and now finally have your answer so you can now focus on your recovery. The gluten-free diet is easier now than ever, even though it can at times be a pain, especially if you travel and eat outside your home. Also, I was diagnosed many years ago, but @AlexInferno, please let us...

I had to look up the AIP diet, it looks to be the "Autoimmune Protocol Diet." Just so you know, eggs are 100% gluten-free, and should not trigger DH, so this may not be your answer. Certainly some celiacs and others have egg intolerance, I had chicken egg intolerance temporarily for a few years at the time of my celiac diagnosis (duck eggs caused me no issues...

Just diagnosed celiac and terrified of MS
Scott Adams replied to Kyleweber's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
It isn't common, but you would be more likely than someone who does not have an autoimmune disease. Gluten ataxia is more common. But the good news is that gluten ataxia can go away on a gluten-free diet.- 17 replies
