    Yes, you do have to go gluten free. Celiac disease is progressive and it will get worse with time if you continue to eat gluten. The brain and other parts of the body need the correct vitamins and nutrients in order to function properly. Continuing to eat gluten after a Celiac diagnosis is extremely risky.

    Anna1990, The previous posters gave some informative posts. There is a strong link between digestive problems and anxiety. There has been some research on anxiety and diet but there isn't one diet that everyone agrees upon. On this website people talk about different diets that they have personally have found helpful. It is also difficult to get the...

    Bread I think is cooked at a higher temperature, and it may be (more?) digested by yeast than pasta. Maybe this makes the immune system less sensitive to it?

    So I stumbled across green light therapy and am wondering if anyone has tried it for pain relief. They put rats inside container which had green light around the edges and compared the pain tolerance before and after the treatment. The green light therapy increased the rats pain tolerance greatly. All lights stimulate neurons to fire. However...

    A lot of people on this forum have other food sensitivities besides just gluten. These can be difficult to figure out because it may take nailing the right food combination on the head in order to feel better. Some also do not feel better right way. From reading other posts on this forum, if gluten effects someones brain they will also likely have other food...

    Posterboy, (or anyone else who might still be reading this thread.) A modern american diet is very high in protein from meat, fat and sugar. All of these things are acid producing. Probably most Americans are very far on the acid side. I use vinegar to try to balance out my bodies ph and to kill any bacteria that might be in my stomach. A lot of people...

    Posterboy, I read the links you posted and some of your other posts on the subject. That is interesting and I agree that stomach acid levels probably play a large role is food sensitivities and celiac disease. Apple cider vinger will raise the ph of the stomach (make it more alkaline), which will stimulate the production of more stomach acid, reduce...

    Monica, Wheat allergies are also common. An allergic reaction produces histamine which can cause breathing problems in some cases but probably not all. Nausea and sweating are in some cases symptoms of a food allergy. Unflavored vodka is distilled which removes all detectable traces of gluten even if it is made from grain. Flavored vodka may...

    Lectins are proteins that every plant makes. Gluten is a storage protein. It's a long chain of amino acids that are strung together and then collapsed in a ball. This long string gets broken up into fragments at certain points. Certain sequences in the chain can then activate the immune system. Lectins are proteins and there may be a wide class of different...

    Celiac disease can cause other autoimmune disorders and health problems. Often the symptoms will improve or go away when someone removes gluten from their diet. People don't necessary know why this happens but there may be a number of different reasons for this. It can also be a slow process in some cases. Some people with other types of autoimmune...

    Also lots of people on this forum have other food sensitivities. An elimination diet could be helpful but would require time for the stomach to adjust. That way you could tell better if a particular food is problematic.

    Normally it does not take more than 2 months for somebodies digestive symptoms to go away on a 100% gluten free diet. It may not be Celiac related or you may be getting cross contaminated. I am not a doctor so none of this is medical advice. However there is information online about H. pylori and stomach acid levels which may be relevant. Having...

    The high TTG test is concerning. Since one of the tests was negative my guess is that there is still some cross contamination happening. Here is a link for more information: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/menieres-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20374910 Eating out even occasionally can be a problem as it can take a month or two...

    Gland you are feeling better. I don't know if this is relevant or not but an abnormal immune response and allergies are listed as a cause of Meniere's disease on the mayoclinic website. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/menieres-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20374910

    I don't know much about Gerd in particular. I know for h pryori I have found information online that L-glutamine and apple cider vinegar could help. Also avoiding alchohol, to rich foods and eating lots of colored vegetables. Some of these things may help for GERD. Apple cider vinegar or baking soda are used raise raise PH in the stomach (ie make...

    Avoiding cross contamination can be very difficult. I get digestive problems and anxiety if I eat Gluten. For smaller amounts it can be harder to tell. One way is to get tested again to see if your antibody levels have gone down.

    They are fine as they are all gluten free. If you have non responsive celiac disease (which is very rare) or have problems with cross contamination (which is very common) I recommend trying the Fresno diet. Here is a link. It includes all vegetables and rice. http://www.thepatientceliac.com/2013/03/04/the-gluten-contamination-elimination-diet/ Ground...

    I wouldn't think it would be a problem generally. If they grind their own grain in the open air and don't filter the air there could possibly be dust contamination in the air. If there is lots of dust in the air it is a fire and health hazard for him. My guess though is that the place is clean and dust free. Likely he will come back with trace amounts of...

    When I was younger I got athletes foot sometimes. I used hydrogen peroxide to disinfect the skin. If I had to wear shoes I would soak my sock around the toes in hydrogen peroxide and it helped cut down on the itch.

    Did you check the label on the chicken? Most chicken has been injected with a filler that contains water and "natural flavor" or something along that lines. If it is not gluten free the package will say that it contains wheat. It may however contain ingredients derived from corn or something like that. It sounds like your symptoms are dramatic sudden...

    You can try a elimination diet. I am not sure what else could cause the high blood test besides Celiac disease. A lot of people on this forum have other types of food sensitivities besides just Celaic disease. IBS can be caused by food sensitivities. I would eat a few foods that are safe (say some fruit and vegetables only for a while) and see if your...

    I would try eliminating all grains, legumes, nuts, processed food and dairy from your diet. You could try eating just fruit and vegetables and meat for a couple weeks and see if that improves your symptoms. The problem is that a lot of grains are cross contaminated or can cause an immune responce. Also oats are questionable for someone with celiac disease...

    Immune reaction

    ch88 replied to Zodako's topic in Meet Up Room

    I wouldn't mess with your health. The risks of cheating on the diet far outway any benefit. If there is any damage to your intestine that is a major health risk and it can cause other types of autoimmune disorders. Even trace amounts of can damage the intestine. Anything under 20 parts per million gluten is generally considered safe for most people...

    Yes Celiac disease can cause anxiety. I haven't heard of any effective way to stop the anxiety after an attack. If the anxiety is caused by gluten you may see improvement within a few days. It could possibly take a lot longer though. I recommend getting tested for celiac disease though and that requires continuing eating gluten.
  25. ch88
    Another thing to consider is that a lot of people with celiac disease also have other food sensitivities. An intolerance to dairy or other types of grain is common. Once the body has healed these foods can often be introduced back into the diet. A whole foods diet, with lots of fruit and vegetables probably will help with recovery. Legumes can cause digestive...
