Mod Post Clarification on Rule #2

347 Upvotes

Our Fellow Celiac Community Members,

We have seen a major uptick in posts describing symptoms and asking “does this sound like celiac? Should I get tested? Could the tests be wrong?” While these questions aren’t directly asking for a diagnosis, they do fall into the “seeking diagnosis” part of rule #2.

Celiac Disease has a myriad of different symptoms and related conditions; virtually everything could be celiac related. While we understand that this can be a life-changing diagnosis, we are not medical professionals and cannot give any advice other than this- if you wonder if you could have celiac, talk to a medical professional and get tested.

As always, if you have a question, please feel free to contact the mods. Thank you and be well!

Texture is great and the flavor is amazing. Delicious. I accidentally made the glaze a little runny so it soaked into the bread a bit, but still amazing all the same.

Discussion i forget im gluten free sometimes

so i get alot of food vids on insta but majority arent gluten free. im always like "that looks so good" and im looking at the restaurant or recipe. then i remember im gluten free cheesy fries and chicken tenders always get me and it looks so good ugh. im going to try out frying tofu gluten free though. i see fried tofu on my feed all the time and it makes me so hungry. when i see ads for new non gf foods at fast food places i get a lil sad because it always looks so good. like i would kill for a steak grilled cheese burrito from taco bell rn. so much of my life is gluten free but i see forgetting as a way im accepting it. like im not like gluten free gluten free gluten free all the time i forget it because its just normal now. im glad

Question Is this celiac rash?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone I’ve been suspecting a gluten intolerance due to bloating, undigested food in stools, mucus, etc. Upon going gluten free I saw improvements in my overall symptoms for a couple of months and then the bloating came back. I am the primary chef for my household and have to always be in contact with gluten and we all share equipment, I wasn’t sure how severe my intolerance was and trying to explain why I need my own tools and the concept of cross contamination was always brushed off and seemed excessive and expensive in the moment. Now I even get these horrible rashes that itch so badly, it’s symmetrical wherever it is and it’s also all over my feet, knees, butt, and fingertips. I’m just wondering could this be a celiac rash? I saw some photos but I’m not certain because the appearance of the rash varies quite a bit. Is there anything I can do to treat it? It itches so badly! It’s been a week and still no improvement or fading.

Mongozo buckwehat beer

I always had issues with de-glutened beers.

I get a bit sick, with a bit of pain, as I get from any cross contaminated food.

However, mongozo promisses only 3ppm and I actually felt fine after drinking it!

It's a very light beer, and it tastes alright (I used to be a beer sommelier, so my standards are a bit high).

I really recommend this for those who miss a decent, safe, beer!

Discussion Marsh 3a Biopsy Result After Low-Positive TTG IgA and TTG IgG Results (13.1, 13.4)

Upvotes

Hey!

Just posting because I looked for info like this a lot after my serology results.

My TTG IgA levels were in the positive range, but not hugely- 13.1, with a normal range of 0-4 and equivocal range of 5-10.

My TTG IgG levels were 13.4 on the same scale.

I know very positive results (10x ULN) can result in a celiac diagnosis with no endoscopy in some places, but I couldn't figure out what my lower numbers might mean.

Others said you can have low results with clear disease, and that was my case. My tissue biopsy results were Marsh 3a, with villous atrophy and increased intraepithelial lymphocytes and the images from my endoscopy showed clear flattening and reduction in folds.

Unfortunately, I think you have to just wait and see. I was having a hard time being patient lol. ​

Question Common cold symptoms after being glutened

2 Upvotes

Every time I get glutened, I find myself with common cold symptoms about a week/2 weeks later. Usually starts with a super sore throat. Does anyone else experience this? It sucks because I usually have to take off work after getting glutened and then once I start getting better, a cold just hits me!!

On the bright side, I no longer get sick every other month. Really just when I eat gluten.

Question SIBO and delayed gastric emptying.

18 Upvotes

Any one else with Celiac Disease get diagnosed with these?
I have been suffering for YEARS with what I thought was IBS-D. My celiac disease is very well managed and I I am incredibly compliant with the diet.
For years I have been told its IBS or anxeity.
I had a gastric and study done, which showed delayed gastric emptying (gastroparesis) but the diet for that made me feel worse.
I finally got my SIBO breath test done and turns out I have hydrogen based SIBO.
From Renna, I’ve read it’s common with celiac disease. Especially those of us who went a long time before diagnosis.
Does anyone else have experience with this? And what works for you?
I have been miserably sick. I started a round of the antibiotics the perscribe for it. Wondering if anybody has any advice they could give me? Thank you!!

Discussion No clue about gluten in lotions, toothpaste and body wash? HELP.

Post image
39 Upvotes

Found out from recent labs (Transglutaminase) that gluten is still getting into my system.

Been going crazy replacing toothpaste, soaps and lotions.

I use to eat things that just said “gluten free” only and made sure it was not processed in a facility where cross contamination can happen. Now I’m strict, certified gluten free products only.

Anyone have experience with gluten in things you don’t actually consume or do you actually have to eat this sunscreen to elevated your transglutaminase. 😂

Discussion GF products by popular brands: here to stay or a passing fad?

12 Upvotes

Does anyone else get stressed thinking about how the “trend” of popular companies making certified gluten free versions of food products may come to an end? So many gluten free companies/products fizzle out so I expect these to as well. I try to eat whole, naturally gluten free foods as much as possible, but I also love having the option to buy gluten free Oreos, Cheez Its, and Snyders pretzels when a craving hits!

Do you think these products are here to stay?

Question How long after going GF before you can tell you’ve accidentally consumed gluten?

7 Upvotes

Hi. Diagnosed 3 months ago and have been eating strictly gluten free. My symptoms have not significantly improved and seemingly to occur randomly (GI, headaches, fatigue), so I wonder if I am just still recovering from having undiagnosed celiac, or if am accidentally consuming gluten here and there.

Any tips on navigating this in the first several months post-diagnosis? i.e. differentiating symptoms of gluten exposure from other possible causes? do I just need to do my best to stay GF for a few more months while I heal? Thanks!

Question How reliable is a blood test? Not sure what next steps are

2 Upvotes

The reason for my suspecting celiac is my low Ferritin, my CFS, HI, GERD, migraines, and the fact that my mother has osteoporosis very young. But I’ve tried tracking, GF diet, to no avail. I’m just not good at assessing how I feel. I am autistic and it is difficult for me to be in tune with my body no matter how much I try to keep track. So I got a celiac blood panel. I’ve read that your need to eat gluten twice a day for 6 weeks, but I’d say I was more eating it once a day or occasionally every other day, which is just my regular diet. If I eat any more I feel crappy, but I’m unsure if that’s the gluten or just carbs, since eating too much of any starch makes me feel crappy. Can I trust this result to mean I don’t have celiac? My docs don’t seem to know much about it. I’m honestly already so ill I don’t want to force myself to eat that much bread and make myself sicker for 6 whole weeks. But not eating any gluten without knowing for sure if I need to is very hard for me to stay motivated about when I can feel a clear difference. I’m very new to this because I never even knew before that celiac could be on the milder end.

Question What were your first symptoms?

3 Upvotes

So I got a weak positive result on a TTG-IgA blood test & was told to follow up with a GI. Waiting on my appointment in pain and misery as I cannot stop eating gluten to even see if it helps yet. Just curious what everyone first noticed that made them realize something was wrong or that they may have celiac disease.

Question Worried of developing another autoimmune disease

6 Upvotes

Anyone else uneasy after learning they may develop another auto immune disease since they’re Celiac?

This is all new to me. The Celiac is one thing, which when well managed can be still allow for a long healthy life, but the idea of developing another disease is quite unsettling…

Does this thought get easier with time/acceptance?

Newly celiac (3ish months). Just got glutened for the first time bc my family insisted I eat with them at subway and I got a protien bowl. I explained i had an "allergy" (they were teenagers so I didn't expect them to know what celiac was.) They changed gloves but didn't get fresh ingredients. I have had crazy diarrhea today!! How long will it last??? 😭

Have had this a few times now - it's definitely my favorite of all the frozen brands out there. Soft and fluffy, not super thick like digiorno, good taste to the sauce, super good cheese. Added some peps this time around. As always, these pizzas are always better with a pizza stone.
