    Quoted from... https://rarediseases.info.nih.gov/diseases/9181/abdominal-aortic-aneurysm "Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is thought to be a multifactorial condition, meaning that one or more genes likely interact with environmental factors to cause the condition. In some cases, it may occur as part of an inherited syndrome.[3] Having a family...

    I layer all the ingredients like lasagna and get "unrolled" cabbage roll casserole. None of that fiddling with toothpicks or string, just coarsely chop the cabbage, layer, pop in the oven. Much quicker and just as tasty!

    No, MisterSeth!!!! You should NOT be able to feel your heartbeat in your abdomen!!!!! Feeling your heartbeat in your abdomen is a sign of an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (Triple A). It is deadly! My mum confided in me (sorry, mum) that my dad couldn't get it up anymore. I urged her to get him to the doctor ASAP. Any changes in a man's "performance...

    KittyButterfly, Welcome to the forum! Sorry you're having some trouble, but we'll go over some steps and have you dancing and twirling again in no time! It's great you're already keeping a food journal! You might want to include notes on mood and bowel movements. I call mine the food/mood/poo'd journal. I, too, have had the inflated balloon...

    Fareeha, I'm so sorry your daughter is sick. My heart goes out to you both. I am not a doctor. I am not providing medical advice. I survived severe malnutrition before my diagnosis. I was deficient in thiamine, as well as many other vitamins and minerals, because Celiac disease causes malabsorption. I speak from my personal experience. I...

    Properties of Gluten Intolerance: Gluten Structure, Evolution, Pathogenicity and Detoxification Capabilities https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5084031/ This article has a section describing the different genotypes of Celiacs and how they react to different gliadin antigens.

    I was curious about your question, and researched a little. I'm not a doctor. This isn't medical advice. You may want to talk to your doctor. Gout is caused by high levels of uric acid. Lactic acid has precedence to be cleared by the body first. High levels of lactic acid are caused by thiamine deficiency. Here's the study that found lactic...

    Instead of melatonin as a sleep aid, you can take tryptophan, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), and magnesium. You could also try passion flower extract, but not with tryptophan because it can make you euphoric. ? hope this helps

    The itchy rash associated with Celiac Disease is Dermatitis Herpetiformus. It flares up when glutened. It also flares after consuming foods high in iodine, like tomato sauce. Hope this helps.

    Did the doctor give you an antibiotic? I have Type Four Hypersensitivity to Sulfites. Antibiotics often contain Sulfites or sulfite preservatives. I have gotten gastrointestinal symptoms when I was given sulfur based drugs. You may want to discuss this possibility with your doctor. Hope this helps!

    Eric, sorry you're not feeling well. Have you been checked for vitamin deficiencies? Celiac causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition. Here's an article that might help..... 11 Signs and Symptoms of Thiamine (Vitamin B1) Deficiency https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/thiamine-deficiency-symptoms And more information...

    Not less affected, just affected a different way, in the skin. Celiacs with DH can still have intestinal damage. Most damage occurs where we absorb vitamins in the small intestine. I dropped sixty pounds in a month and a half at one point and I had DH. I had reached a point where my intestines were so damaged/dysfunctional it could not absorb enough nutrients...

    Thiamine deficiency can cause many of the symptoms you've described. Palpitations, headaches, POTS (Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), lightheadedness, muscle aches (especially tender or sore calves), acid reflux, elevated liver enzymes. Have your doctor test your thiamine level. Doctors don't usually think of thiamine deficiency unless...

    Think of it as Celiac University. You'll be learning about the gluten free diet, how to function in social situations (so many are based on eating), and how to cope with the stress of it all (it's a big lifestyle change). This forum is a wonderful place to come for information and support! I've gotten so much out of it and I hope you will, too!

    Sam, I get DH on my hands, too. (Also on elbows and knees.) I learned DH is pressure sensitive. I would go grocery shopping and have DH blisters on my palms from pushing the shopping cart by the time I got home. Holding knitting needles ? or a pencil would cause blisters on my fingers. Same reaction of skin under elastic! If you get a positive...

    Your pancreas and spleen are in the ULQ. Some Celiacs have problems with their pancreas. And the descending colon starts over there, too. I have had diverticulitis and that's where my pain started, ULQ. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can cause the intestinal tract to not work properly. Hope you feel better!

    I can't eat chicken either. Seems a part of the chicken meat molecules sort of resembles a segment of gluten molecules. "Sorta-resembles-gluten" molecules also occur in casein (dairy protein), corn (maize), yeast and some rice breeds. (Basmati rice is least likely to elicit a reaction.) Not everyone reacts to these. I can eat Duck and Cornish Game...
