Negative Bloods
Awol cast iron stomach replied to sunilrana09's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I went gluten free the first time and felt great after 2 weeks. I saw myself improve on many levels. We had a shared household back then, but I did my own toaster separate cabinets etc. 3 years later I got badly glutened got very ill and went for testing. My testing went on for months trying to get in team of Dr s etc. I attempted a 2 week gluten challenge... -
I found their posts helpful.

I had muscle/myalgia and joint pain when I became intolerant to some nightshades after my challenge. My back muscle pain/ myalgia pain is my earliest symptom of my immune system reacting to small amounts of what ticks it off. When the brilliant immunologist who finally correctly diagnosed me with gluten intolerance was testing me for IgE allergies...

Gluten contamination
Awol cast iron stomach replied to Kathwerk's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I usual get a rash eruption, muscle aches, and nerve pain. I can get other issues as well. I think we vary in our symptoms. My first to trigger symptom tends to be my skin now. My skin manifestation actually starts out with itching beneath my skin before my skin begins to burn, turn red, then throws up a DH blister. My muscle,gi issues, and nerves start shortly... -
Whiskey
Awol cast iron stomach replied to Billy G. Ellzey's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
In college one of my roommates adored Jack Daniels. I did occasionally drink it back then. I don't recall getting symptoms from it. When I no longer lived with her I was off whiskey entirely. Years later and before diagnosis I found I just can't drink whiskey. Not from a gi issue gluten issue to my knowledge. I just can't do whiskey or gin. I don't feel... -
Not sure if you have read this info,but in case your interested here is a link of why I think as I do (supplements fall under food regulation FDA) "Are statements like “made with no gluten-containing ingredients” or similarly “not made with gluten-containing ingredients” permitted on labels of foods bearing a gluten-free claim? Yes. Neithe...

No, I have never taken it. If the manufacturer is stating they do not test the finished product for gluten being below the 20 ppm standard. I would not personally be comfortable taking it. While I do believe most manufacturer s follow proper best protocols in quality control and quality assurance not adding gluten to the product, dismantling/cleaning the...

PPI - Celiac Link - NIH Studies
Awol cast iron stomach replied to Kate333's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
All the feelings are normal and expected. Searching for answers and asking why also is valid. I'm not saying the PPI may not be contributing to the issues of gi illness. One can't negate the genetic predisposition and potential multifactorial issues that contribute to celiac. There are other pharmaceutical drugs that potentially mess up the gi tract... -
Sounds like you are well equipped with the natural inclination to "to with your gut" it will continue to serve you well. In time I did obtain the gluten-free flours and make my own baked goods. I was never a baker in hindsight I know why,the airborne flour made me all foggy and error prone. Lots of things get answered for us once diagnosed.

Can Anyone Relate...?
Awol cast iron stomach replied to EmDubs's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hello and welcome to the forums. Celiac/NCGS has a long list of symptoms incliding some of the ones you listed. I wish you luck on you diagnosis path and healing journey once properly diagnosed. A celiac test in my opinion is good to have, glad your GP thought you should be tested. Many of us also besides the blood draw had endoscopy as well. Sometimes Celiac... -
Do you belong to a support group for your condition? While we are a gi support group for Celiac/NCGS as cycling lady stated our diet is gluten free. I am sorry our forum would not be able to recommend a diet for you. Contacting your Dr may help you find the best foods to start with, or perhaps he or she can refer you to a nutritionist if you ask. Perhaps...

I was not checked for vitamin/ mineral deficiency after diagnosis that I know of. I had been diagnosed vitamin D deficient 8 years prior to my gluten intolerance diagnosis. I am in the Midwest so unlike you CA girls. I get some cold dark days here come winter time. I often have a vitamin D supplement in the cupboard. I was sent to a nutritionist. She...

I had 13 intolerances after my gluten challenge. Gluten, corn, and cow milk/products are still enemies to my immune system. It locks and loads and says No! Cycling ladies suggestion to rotate helps. I did a food elimination diet to check for intolerances and a food diary initially. I kept foods to below 5 ingrediants. Just a thought somethings...

Gluten intolerance
Awol cast iron stomach replied to Tobyjug's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Yes my congestion gets worse with gluten as well. Gluten opens up a terrible portal to all kinds of awful for me. Allergy pills alone were not enough more than one Dr suggested netti pot for me. Also I get really bad esophageal stomach inflammation that looks like acid reflux, but is due to my gluten intolerance. At times in life I vomited very easily... -
I didn't finish my 2 week challenge. I technically am NCGS in my records, but DH comes back every misfortunate cc . My cousin is a gold standard celiac. So clearly I'm on the spectrum. I suspect I'm a DH. Just a few lowlights of my challenge: I had to pull my car over many times during my challenge as I was nauseous and ready to vomit. My boss...

I have a floater that develops with nutritional deficiency. This also causes my vision/prescription to change get more blurry until I heal. I am nearsided. When I heal up, avoid cc, and maintain nutrition my floater subsides . I also during my gluten challenge and those damaged months after got ocular migraines. Ouch.

Welcome Kate. I can speak on part 2 & 3 of your questions. I had additional intolerance s 13, so yes many of us have other intolerance s to foods or additives/ingrediants. My body still prefers I make my own gluten-free baked goods vs gluten-free store bought. I slowly was able to add additional foods and some gluten-free processed foods after 2 years...

The damaged body often is use to that state and is why you are drawn to craving the foods. Resist.Once you begin to heal it should improve. Initially on the forum we encourage the newly diagnosed to stick with basic s not packaged/processed foods even gluten-free. The idea is facilitate healing and get optimal nutrients. Meat, fruit, veggies. Some...

I likely had gluten intolerance my whole life. It was misdiagnosed. My Pregnancies ratcheted it up for me as I began having more symptoms after I had my kids. Initially they told me to take better vitamins as they said my body was likely depleted from pregnancies and nursing . Then when that didn't work they said it was in my head. It was a total...
