    I can't really comment on much, but I was struck that although you've been gluten-free for 5 years (except for the past 3 weeks, eating gluten), you are anemic. Do you know more about that, why that is? At any rate, it could be that if indeed you do have celiac disease, the 5 years was good enough to heal your gut, and it could be (see? lots of maybes...

    A while back, I posted something on this forum about a conversation I had with someone at the farmers' market about cows eating wheat and then me eating the meat of that cow, and how she said technically that meat is not gluten free. I was corrected on here. At the time of the conversation at the FM, it struck me as odd and not quite right. It still doesn...

    I started hearing about that about 6 or so years ago. I don't know what to make of it.

    I work in healthcare and I was one of the first to line up for a vaccine! We were strongly strongly encouraged to get it, and hopefully you can see the sense it makes for those providing care to get the shot(s). While I did not have to get it, I was strongly encourage to do so, and there emerged a feeling in the air that we should do this to protect each...

    Hi there, you are such a good grandmother, first of all. I just google-imaged the nutrition label for velveeta and didn't see any gluten ingredients. However, I do not know the ins and outs of the many additives it appears to have. Other regular users in this forum are far more dedicated and knowledgeable about those than I am - perhaps they will chime in...

    It is? How so? Never heard that.

    It is always best to get a professional opinion before taking medications and supplements recommended on the Internet. We should be mindful of the things we put into our mouths, realizing there may be a cost that the kidneys or liver may (may) have to pay. Sound thinking, @Placey.

    But that's not keto. ?
  9. plumbago
    Hi @yogajc I hope some regular commenters reply to you. Having been intrigued, impressed by and interested in the success of the ketogenic diet, particularly as it pertains to metabolic and blood vessel health, I have not ever attempted to seriously maintain myself on it, having been daunted by many of the same issues you are. However, in my many forays...

    I would love more specifics and details on all of this!

    Can you share the link that indicates the Dulcolax has gluten? I searched online and couldn't find it. I did see that the Australian site for Dulcolax says it's gluten free. But that doesn't mean the US version is. They may also have different definitions of gluten-free. https://dulcolax.com.au/products/tablets/

    You're welcome. Important that you do have a specialist who can monitor this, to rule out a bleeding ulcer. Good luck.

    Coughing or vomiting up blood can be caused by blood in the upper GI system, in particular the stomach. If it truly is "coffee ground emesis" (vomit), that generally means it's been in the stomach a while. I'm not sure about the gallbladder. Maybe. I'm obviously not a GI specialist! You said, though, that you are coughing up blood, that's why I asked...

    My first thought reading this is to ask if the cough is from the GI or respiratory tract? Which do you think? Otherwise, you are doing the right thing by pursuing blood tests, just make sure your doc is ordering the right panel of tests. You can develop active celiac after testing negative 10 years ago, I would think.

    Talk to your doctor Tiny Red! Good luck.

    I sometimes shop at a market called Streets, which sells Katz gluten free pies. Usually I buy cherry or blueberry, but they also have apple, though I've never tried it. These are frozen pies that need to be heated, and the blueberry and cherry ones are very very good. I will add that they are hardly a "free" food - they have 18 whopping grams of sugar. So...

    Today I was at the farmers' market and a nice vendor asked me, after I inquired about the sausage's gluten free-ness, how sensitive I am. Generally, I'm not someone who uses this terminology. Little background - I once saw Alessio Fasano - just because if I was going to have to give up cupcakes and beer I wanted to hear it from an expert! - and after telling...

    I think you mean meditation, and if you are talking about doing as much good as a hot tub in relation to eating gluten, I likely agree with you. If you are talking about in general - I do not.

    Something is definitely going on, and that's why it's good you're getting both the EGD and the colonoscopy. Your liver enzymes are normal, a good thing. Before diagnosis, my alkaline phosphatase (ALK) would sometimes come back low, which is consistent with celiac disease, I've learned. (All liver enzymes have since normalized for me.) It's interesting that...

    Adding the message below today (Nov 8, 2020), after receiving Peter Attia's weekly email. Peter is a physician focusing on the applied science of longevity. His practice deals extensively with nutritional interventions, exercise physiology, sleep physiology, emotional and mental health, and pharmacology to increase lifespan (delay the onset of chronic disease...

    Sure, and to clarify my sentence, "What I wonder, given your symptoms, is if there is not another component," I mean, in addition to celiac disease.
  22. plumbago
    The two test results you posted are for exposure to gluten in the short term. One seems to have been positive, but not the other. Nevertheless, it does kind of seem like you had improvement on a gluten-free diet. What I wonder, given your symptoms, is if there is not another component, such as SIBO or maybe a colitis. It may be worth investigating. Good that...

    I just ate some marinara sauce and could feel the beginnings of some activity inside my mouth, so for me, it's very likely acidic foods (and the SLS in toothpaste), and not any vitamin deficiency and for sure not anemia. Good luck Rory.
  24. plumbago
    I am gluten free and still occasionally get aphthous ulcers, which I wrote about here: I think it might be stress, acidic foods, and/or the toothpaste I used to use.

    It was 10 years ago that I was initially tested. Of those tests (ttg-IgA; gliadin peptide IgG; and gliadin peptide IgA) none had a range of 0. At the time, for the tests I had, you should aim for less than 7 (I did not meet that mark). In addition, my D3 and B12 were low, so too ferritin (though that continues to be low now and again).
