symptoms with coffee
chrisgf replied to chrisgf's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
thank you guys for the information. i have heard that coffee can never be 100% gluten-free...but i think more and more that it may be acid. thanks for all your help -
symptoms with coffee
chrisgf replied to chrisgf's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
my hubby said that the acid is probably the culprit. I like the the silk dairy free creamer,,,but i am going to stay away from coffee and see what happens. i don't like being in these DF and gluten-free diets...but i have no choice. -

Thanks for getting back to me. Well I stopped coffee and my stomach issues stopped...kinda stinks tho. I was concerned about it attacking intestines...glad i know! I am going through some forums because I still have some mild issues...but much better than years ago. -
hello. its been a while since i posted, so i hope someone doesn't mind helping me. i was diagnosed with celiac over 4 years ago. i realized the past few times i had to take prednisone i barely got any symptoms and rashes. however, the past two weeks i get very sick from coffee. i can do a half of a cup, but more than that i am sick all day into the next...

i wish these docs knew about all this. it seems lately that everyone is on this gluten-free diet...I would never want to go on it...its not fun or easy and I miss all the good foods, like today for the holiday I barely ate anything today and asked about the foods I felt were safe to eat...and then later I began itching so much and the rashes that were...
-
so I have done some research and found some answers...but still want to check with doc later. according to my bloodwork, I have the dq genotypes, but my risk factor is low...so that, along with my "supposed" dh rash make me feel the doc said I cant get celiac because I am at a low risk. like I said earlier, the rash mimics the gluten rash a lot. being off...

ok so I am going to have to eat shellfish eventually to test myself. I am not looking forward to that tho....rashes are slowly disappearing...but I hoping the discolorations leave too. its almost summer and they don't look to nice. it seems that others blood and endoscopy tests were negative like mine...so I am confused about this rash. maybe its...
-
wow i never heard about dh and shellfish...I will have to try that. but its taken over a month and now the rashes are going away more...I really don't want to get them back...they are horrible. I am trying hard to keep all gluten n dairy out of me,....I worry with the holiday this weekend. atleast I know what I cook here at home will be safe...worried about...

squirmingitch.... I have done the food diaries before, which what showed me that dairy didn't agree with me...I am going to give it a while longer to see how clear the rash becomes...that way maybe I wont have to stop iodine foods. I never heard of that as a problem with people...seems like a hard diet to stick to. I have a lot of questions for my...

greenbeanie....thanks for responding. I never thought of sulfites before...but it sounds like there are people like your self that cant have it or need to limit their intake of it. right now I am at a point of just giving up. there is so much info out there about celiac and gluten intolerances that I am overwhelmed. I had joined a gluten support group...

Thank you both so much! as for the genes with the minus sign...it was my error...on my lab it shows it like this DQ2-, DQ8- I thought that meant "negative", but they would usually be in front of the letters....right? lol I honestly have no clue....this column was under the heading "overall risks for patients carrying the DQ genotype".....
-
On the paper it has a box that says at the top "overall risks for patients carrying the DQ genotype". Then there are columns under it in categories ranked from 8 ( extremely high) down to 1 (extremely low). I am at number 1... And shows what DQ genotype I have... Mine in this column shows DQ2-, DQ8 Does this mean I have both types but at low risk?

too funny I just got labs in mail.... deamidated gliadin peptide antibody, IgG (DGP IgG) is 1.3 EU/ml range says <4.9 EU/ml " " IgA (DGP IgA) is 1.3 EU/ml range says <6.1 EU/ml anti human tissue transglutaminase IgA ELISA (TTG IgA) is 0.3 U/ml range says <10.3 U/ml anti endomysial...

you so seem to know a lot about this ...lol which is good I started a gluten-free diet sept 28...by my own choice cuz my allergist doubted it was gluten...my food skin test was all normal. a while later I noticed my coffee creamer made me nauseous and then other foods like my gluten-free cupcake and gluten-free pizza made me sick...so I stopped all...
-
oops I think I replied to my own post lol.... colleen, if tests were negative for celiac, then this shouldn't be dh right?
-
no I have not yet, but since I was negative for celiac in all the other tests, this cant be dh right?

hello, I am new to this site and this is my first post. I have been dealing with joint pain in elbows, anemia, sick stomach, and this unbelievable rash. after many doc appts, I ended up seeing a gi doc who knows about celiac. I have done an endoscopy and tons of blood work which also includes the celiac panel test from a lab called Prometheus in California...
