I'm not yet convinced
Wheatwacked replied to NatalieCO's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Just to point out Hashimoto is also an autoimmune disease like Celiac so you most likely have very low 25(OH)D vitamin D blood plasma. Low vitamin D plasma is is a compromised immune system and leaves you open to more autoimmune diseases in the future not to mention osteoporosis. Personally, although the experts deny that osteoporosis is autoimmune... -
Before GFD I took 30-60 milligrams of prednisone to function with my fibromyagia. After GFD the fibromyagia is gone. No gluten is good gluten. If you feel better by not eating gluten, and don't have a diagnostic of Celiac Disease, then you have Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity. If you feel better without gluten, why go back to it? Consider...

Gluten and lactose free ice cream?
Wheatwacked replied to MCS's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hello @MCS, welcome to the forum. A two step process. First increase your lactobacillus by making your own fermented pickles. IThe pickles in the stores are mostly Quick Pick;ed with vinegar sour but no lactobacillus. Naturally Fermented Pickles [The Complete Guide] After a few months you will have populated your gut with lactobacillus which makes... -
I felt betrayed by the food I was eating, I was angry at Agrobusiness. Angry at myself because I blew off my son's doctor's recommendation in 1976 to go gluten free. I was angry at the nutritional misinformation. I actually became quite evangelistic about GFD. My family banned me from mentioning wheat in their presence. High dose 10,000 IU Vitamin...

Help plz with results. celiac?
Wheatwacked replied to Layu's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Even if Gliadin G is excluded from your diagnostic standards, you still have symptoms caused by eating gluten. Perhaps you have Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS). NCGS is diagnosed by first eliminating Celiac Disease as the cause of your symptoms. A Negative diagnosis for Celiac Disease. Then showing symptom improvement while on a trial gluten... -
Help plz with results. celiac?
Wheatwacked replied to Layu's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Have you looked into other symptoms that eating gluten can cause if you have Celiac Disease and continue to eat gluten? Many are way more dangerous and misdiagnosis can lead to unessary suffering by treating the symptoms of that disease instead of the cause Celiac. Diarrhea is not the only symptom. But taking out a Gall bladder because of Celiac Disease... -
Watch out for those shoes with wobbly bubblewrap soles and insoles to make them comfortable. They put a lot of stress on legs trying to compensate for the wobble. Gluten free foods are not required to fortify with the vitamins and minerals as non gluten free foods are. Make sure she is getting enough. Low Thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal beriberi...

No problem not eating grains, but I would look for vitamin and mineral deficiencies given your history. Gluten Free Diet with adequate vitamins and minerals, you should be healthier than your friends.

That sounds more like a withdrawal from gluten reaction. Gluten affects the opiod rececptors and like withdrawal from opidis it can take two week or so to withdraw. Over the years the opiod effect of gluten has been masking the pain. Take it easy, for the time being eat what makes your tummy happy. Barring gluten. That pretty much is your answer...

Celiac diagnosis
Wheatwacked replied to Vickey Matteson's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
If you have this reaction to a drug, whether it has gluten is moot. That drug is not for you. There are many other drugs that work as well. For example a 10 ounce bottle of Magnesium Citrate. -
Newly Diagnosed
Wheatwacked replied to Jake R.'s topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
While you remove gluten processed foods from your diet, there are vitamins and minerals added to those foods because the standard western diet has been deemed deficient by government agencies and so are required to be fortified. Gluten free processed food are no usually fortified. For every food you delete, make sure to find another source in you new diet... -
Welcome to the forum @SusanB123, I sympathize with your plight. First I will will state that he is not alone. Here is a post from another forum member: "I was diagnosed celiac January 2023, with no symptoms. I have been on the gluten free diet since, but since the 6th month of the diet to date, I have developed symptoms-stomach pains, bloating...

Problems
Wheatwacked replied to cjjones5969's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I'm guessing it was Manic Depression. I was depressed for 30 years. It did not go away until I increased vitamin D3 to 10,000 IU (250 mcg) a day. Three days after going from 8000 IU to 10,000 IU a great dark cloud lifted. Unless you are deficient in Calcium intake from food, don't supplement with calcium. A high Parathyroid Hormone PTH blood... -
high levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) can indicate a vitamin D deficiency. The "normal level" of 25(OH) D is 80 ng/ml (200 nmol/L). That is the level our body sets as it's normal limit when we don't limit sunshine. For some people like me it takes 10,000 IU a day to maintain that. Lack of enough sun and malabsorption of vitamin D orally.

Rampant decay caused by Celiac’s disease
Wheatwacked replied to Chris Tonelli's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
She should be tested for 25(OH)D vitamin D blood level. Most newly diagnosed with Celiac Disease are disturbingly low. Malabsorption syndrome causes poor dietary absorption of vitamin D orally and super high sunscreens block skin production. Hypervitminosis D which nearly every article written warns of, is a very rare disease. Many these days drink... -
When my son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 1976 as soon as he was weaned, his doctor insisted that we feed him only Nutramigen it was the only hyperallergenic with complete nutrition. Enfamil and Similac were not acceptable if we wanted him to get healthy. For one thing they had no choline back then. Given the lawsuits against them now, he was...

Could it be? Next steps?
Wheatwacked replied to CeeBee1807's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hello @CeeBee1807, Find out if your gastroscopy will include biopsies for Celiac Disease. Since the doctors haven't mentioned Celiac Disease to you, I have a feeling they will not. You'll get an answer like, you have irritation. We don't know what the cause is. -
Ingredients with B vitamins
Wheatwacked replied to lmemsm's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I can usually only eat it as chopped liver, but the commercial ones all have wheat added. Wish I could, but it creeps me. Cod Liver Oil works. -

Witch Hazel is great for cleaning skin. I also use it to clean my ears. -
Shaking/Tremors and Off Balance
Wheatwacked replied to Ginger38's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Whatever the doctors decide, you can not eat wheat. Chasing an official diagnosis is up to you. In addition to the damage the wheat does, it also causes malabsorption syndrome, so even if you eat the same as the next guy your small intestine does not absorb it so you are also dealing with malnutrition. The solution is avoid wheat, rye and replete your... -
Hi @V.Beth Are you taking any vitamins?

Confused is an understatement
Wheatwacked replied to beyondbabs23's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It is not your ignorance but your doctors ignorance that is concerning, That’s why the moral of the story at this time is to evaluate how you feel when you eat 100% gluten-free for a couple of months. Until we have highly sensitive tests we can rely on to accurately diagnose gluten sensitivity, diagnosing will involve “building a case” by pulling toget...
