    @Kathleen JJ, thanks for the update! Yes, as Cristiana mentioned gluten-free facsimile baked products are generally less nutritious than their wheat counterparts. In part this is due to the fact that the ingredients themselves have less nutritional value (lots of rice, potato and tapioca starch) and in part because the alternative "flours" used in gluten...

    @Ems10, celiac diagnosis normally involves two steps. The first one is serum antibody testing which you may have already have had done and are waiting on the results. The second step involves and endoscopy (aka, gastroscopy) with biopsy of the small bowel lining. This second step is typically ordered if one or more antibody tests were positive, is a confirmation...

    Your only resort would seem to be directly contacting the manufacturer and ask some pointed questions about CC . . . and hope you get some straight answers. You are probably already aware of this but the label "Gluten Free" does not necessarily equate to zero gluten. "Gluten Free" is a standard established by the FDA whereby a product can use that label...

    Maybe you picked up a little intestinal virus? Maybe some ingredient in the gluten free processed foods you've been consuming is causing this. In order to simulate the texture that wheat provides, a lot of gluten free products contain ingredients that may cause digestive distress. Xanthan gum and similar polysaccharides are among the chief offenders.

    I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.
  10. trents
    Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.

    I guess I would encourage you to abstain from the wine for a while. If you know something causes you pain then it is a good idea not to do it if you don't have to.
  12. trents
    We have had numbers of others on this forum report pain in that same area. Have you been checked for an H. Pylori infection? This is something very common in the celiac population.

    Welcome to the forum, @Celiacsugh! Have you been checked for a gastric or peptic ulcer?

    Welcome to the forum, @lsky! In Canada I believe your healthcare system is totally socialized so I doubt if you have the option of making direct appointments with specialists. In the U.S. it is becoming more and more that way as most people here now are covered by some government managed healthcare network and almost all providers and specialists are...

    Welcome to the forum @Juliana82! Bleeding where? Thanks for the articles on seronegative celiac disease. As I recall, one of our moderators is seronegative and has been faithful to draw our attention to this phenomenon at different times. The heterozygous factor seronegative celiac disease is an important factoid I believe.
  16. trents
    Yes, but if you had been avoiding bread because of the stricture, that might explain the negative result of the previous celiac antibody test.

    Diabetes and Hashimoto's as well, huh? You are the epitome of the autoimmune cascade effect. That is, once you get one autoimmune condition you tend to develop others. But I am curious. In the sequence of these several autoimmune diagnoses, where did the celiac diagnosis come? You certainly have a lot of health issues to juggle.

    So, you have a couple of strikes against you when it comes to nutrient absorption efficiency.

    Welcome to the forum, @green-blossom! You can develop active celiac disease at any stage of life. It involves possessing the genetic potential plus some triggering stress event that turns the relevant genes on. NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) is 10x more common than celiac disease but some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of...
