The key here is "my." Individual anecdotal experiences do not establish truth. Yes, there are many with celiac disease who lose weight or cannot put it on even when the want to. But there are many others who do not experience that. -
I think we have similar things in the USA. I would not think the pancreolan would affect the test results. I am not a doctor, however, so this is lay person opinion.

That's just about the length of time it takes to get through the metabolic adjustment period. I wish he had stuck it out longer.

It is more likely that the short period of gluten reduction will not have much impact on the endoscopy/biospy than the blood test, IMO. So I'm guessing that if you have celiac disease the blood tests may not give a strong positive but the biopsy will still show damaged villi.

Because the carbs and the calories still get absorbed even if the vitamins and minerals aren't being absorbed well. There are plenty of people with active celiac disease who struggle with obesity.

You may have another issue such as SIBO causing the acid reflux. Are you on any medication for the acid reflux? Have you made any dietary changes to address the reflux such as eliminating caffeine, tomatoes and citrus? Overeating and obesity can certainly contribute to acid reflux. Also, I would suggest elevating the head of your bed.

Actually, many celiacs are overweight because they instinctively eat more to compensate for poor nutrient absorption. But other celiacs are under weight and have trouble gaining for the same reason. And this can be exacerbated by poor appetite. We are all different in this regard and celiac disease can exacerbate our genetic body weight and appetite tendencies...

Gluten-free Oreos Arrive in January 2021!

Do you have reaction to traces of dairy? -
Gluten-free Oreos Arrive in January 2021!
trents commented on Scott Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
Are you referring to cross contamination as opposed to purposely including dairy as an ingredient? -
Not sure what you mean when you ask about doctors dismissing you. Are you asking if because you have confirmed celiac disease that they will not take the possibility of other bowel diseases seriously and so not do the other tests?
-
Absolutely it is possible to have gluten intolerance and also have a negative biopsy. But do you realize that gluten intolerance is not the same as celiac disease? Gluten intolerance can produce GI distress but does not damage the mucosa and villi of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Having said that the range of symptoms you describe certainly point...

Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?
trents replied to fatjacksonthecat's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Are you saying your allergy to cats is a gluten symptom or are you saying that some allergies also were reduced? Celiac disease is not an allergy. It is an autoimmune disease. -
Celiac disease affects the small bowel right below the stomach. This is checked with an upper GI scoping ("endoscopy") rather than a colonoscopy. However, other bowel autoimmune diseases that attack the lower bowel are more common in people with Celiac disease.

Yes, that would be appropriate. Most smoothies use fruit so you will need to be creative with snacks like that. Look into chia seeds, too. They are low carb, high fat, high fiber and have many nutrients. They are a staple of many on the keto diet. Most nuts and seeds are good choices for the keto diet. One exception would be cashews as they are higher in...

Sorry, I missed the question.

Martha, are you comfortable in researching on a computer? There is tons of information on the Internet about the science behind the keto diet and guidance as to food choices. There are not only articles but pod casts as well. I would certainly suggest investing in some high potency vitamins and supplements. There are two main challenges with regard to the...

The keto diet can do wonders for blood sugar issues. Do you have any GI distress or other symptoms besides Hashimoto's that might point to a problem with gluten or having celiac disease?

Hemp and Gluten wtf

Thanks, Scott. -
The keto diet is defined as high fat, very low carb and only moderate protein intake. But I wouldn't worry too much about the protein element as long as you are getting enough. Many high fat animal product foods are also high in protein so it's difficult to do both unless you go almost vegetarian. I would say shoot for 75-100 grams a day. Is your Hashimotos...

Cook some bacon. Peanuts. Pecans. If you are going to go keto, research what vegetables are appropriate for the keto diet. Many vegetables are high in carbs so there is a nutritional challenge there. Squashes are good for keto as are avocados. Green leafy veggies are good. Broccoli is not a good choice an neither are most legumes. Potatoes are high in...

Did this doctor or any other have you tested for celiac disease? If not, I find it curious that she would recommend you eliminate gluten from your diet. Concerning the keto diet, it really works for losing weight. I personally know a number of people who have had lasting success with it. Basically, the keto diet trains your metabolism to use fat for...

Martha, why has the doctor recommended these diet changes? What particular issue is the doctor trying to address with you? And what kind of doctor is this? Medical doctor or naturopathic or whatever?

Yes, tapioca and cassava are used heavily in gluten-free processed foods these days. Seems like manufactures have been switching from using rice flour over to tapioca and cassava in the last few years.
