    I would not expect Celaic disease to interfere with a urine glucose test but it is possible. Celiac disease can cause aches and pains as well as acid reflux. Celiac disease can interfere with kidney function. I think that is called IGG nephropathy. If I remember rightly this can be caused by Celiac disease, in some cases, and if so the symptoms improve...

    I don't have much confidence in gluten free restaurants. It takes a lot of knowledge and dedication to eliminate all cross contamination and to make sure all ingredients are gluten free. Restaurant workers in general just don't have that type of training.

    I seem to do best on whole foods only diet, without grain. I have multiple food sensitivities though. Other people seem to tolerate gluten free bread fine. Almond milk is probably a safe bet as it has fewer problematic ingredients than bread. You can try the bread though and see if it works for you.

    I recommend going gluten free and staying that way permanently. There is such a thing as non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Have you been tested for an allergic reaction to wheat? A lot of people are allergic to wheat. Here is a link on NCGS. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3641836/ Some people on this forum talk about having gluten...

    I am not sure. You might try extra magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, and a gluten free complete multi-vitamin. If you are suicidal you should get help and talk to a doctor about medication. If the body is short on Niacin, it will convert neurotransmitters into Niacin. I wonder if this has something to do with why some people experience emotional...

    To get a celiac diagnosis a blood test and a biopsy is required. Both require eating gluten for a while before the test. There is no way to tell for sure if you are celiac or not without a proper diagnosis. There are huge health risks though if you continue eating wheat and have celiac disease. The symptoms of celiac disease can change at different...

    I don't know. I am guessing though that you could put a crumb or something similar in the pan. Once the crumb is completely turned to charcoal the pan is good to use.

    You can heat them really hot and the gluten will turn to charcoal which is gluten free. You could have another food sensitivity though besides gluten.

    There are other types of digestive problems besides celiacs and you might want to get tested for them. Mild food allergies can cause IBS in some cases. You could get blood test to see if you are deficient in any vitamins. Maybe you could try rotate your foods to see if it effects anything? You could try an AIP diet, a foodmap diet, or an...

    I take a complete multivitamin, fish oil (for extra omega-3 fatty acids), and extra niacin. It is common for people with celiac disease to be deficient in vitamins and minerals. It can also take a while for the body to absorb different vitamins and distribute them to proper cells. The body can convert neurotransmitter precursors into niacin if deficient...

    I just use regular (banana boat) sunscreen. I don't think that any sunscreen contains gluten but I could be wrong. Someone else here might know more about that. Touching gluten is safe so long as it doesn't end up in the mouth.

    A lot of foods such as fruit contain citric acid. It is unlikely that citric acid should be a problem for anyone with a corn allergy as it contains no protein. I can't eat corn very well, but haven't noticed any problems with critic acid.

    It probably depends on the person. I think there is some tolerance. You may be able to get away with eating one crumb per day, or something, without it destroying your gut. That is not recommended though. It takes up to 2 weeks to heal the gut if you are healthy and a lot longer in some cases. https://tinyurl.com/y9774l9q

    I have done research on the topic. I agree that the idea of cross reactivity is a myth. The vast majority of people with Celiac disease are able to heal their gut by by eliminating gluten from there diet. If they don't recover on a gluten free diet it is called refractory Celiac disease. My understanding though is that refractory Celiac disease is...

    A few other things that may be helpful include: Stress reduction techniques. There are some websites that offer helpful advice on the topic. Eating more fish as it is high in omega-3 fatty acids. Glutamine powder (food for the gut) Eating lots of fruit and vegetables. Grapefruit, for example, has lots of inositol which may improve...

    Are you sure that gluten caused the psychosis episode? A sudden psychotic episode can be caused by other medical problems so you should talk to a doctor about it. There is also the psychforums.com forum which is a good resource. It is possible for someone to develop schizophrenia at any time. Gluten can cause panic attacks in some people and some people...

    I have lots of other food intolerance. I feel best if I avoid corn, soy, rice dairy and alcohol and other foods. I do not think my food in tolerances will go away. It would be nice to eat whatever I wanted. I try to look on the positive side though which is that there are still lots of things I can eat and I feel really good and healthy.
  19. ch88
    I can get confusion or foggy brain on occasion. I think that avoiding grain, dairy, coffee/caffine, alcohol as well as stress engagement helps with that. If someone has seasonal allergies they may feel foggy or depressed. I think it is the same way for some other people. The particular foods that people react to may be different for different people though...

    I have had them and I didn't react. I think they are fine. Some sausages contain wheat though (beer flavoring) so check the label.
  21. ch88
    Here is some more information on the topic from my research and things I have found online. Anything under 20 ppm gluten is generally considered safe for someone with celiac disease. I have never heard of any milk containing gluten contamination above 20 ppm. I don't know what the limit is for a wheat allergy but it may be much lower. Wheat is...

    I have heard some people can get disassociation after traumatic life experiences. Other people say that there disassociation was not caused by any event. There is a strong genetic component to mental illness, in some cases at least. Probably everyone with a mental disorder should be screened for celiac disease. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us...

    I never had ataxia but I did have confusion before I went gluten free. I feel very anxious within about 2 minutes of eating gluten. Before I went gluten free I was extremely paranoid about certain things but not other things. I could barely understand social interactions before I went gluten free. The anxiety comes back within a couple minutes. Other...

    L-glutamine is the primary food source for the cells that line the gut. The cells in the gut act differently when they have lots of food. Leaky gut is linked to inflammation and stress in the gut. In the link below, there is a diagram which shows how glutamine supplementation can lead to improved control over tight junctions within the gut. The idea is...

    Did the Popsicle contain wheat? Celiac disease should not cause anaphylaxis. I am not a doctor though so this isn't medical advice. Food or chemical allergies can be dangerous. Celiac disease is a lot different from a food allergy although some symptoms can overlap. During an allergic reaction IGE antibodies are created along with histamine. Celiac...
