Re: Gluten Sensitivity May Not Exist
And, like others have said, it was only for 2 weeks at a time. That's not anywhere near enough time to get it out of your system.

Re: Gluten Sensitivity May Not Exist
Many of my daily staples are high FODMAPS foods, and I don't have symptoms from them, but everyone is different. I think FODMAPS is something to consider if you have digestive problems.

Re: Gluten Sensitivity May Not Exist
I don't react to many FODMAPS. I do react to peppers, celery, garlic and onion if I ingest them. I am OK with them flavoring something and being removed. I'm OK with everything else. OK by - no reactions, everything coming out alright, no extra gas or anything.
I haven't had an upper or lower endoscopy so I have no idea how bad the damage is, but from what I understand of my own body, things are pretty bad in there and I'm not getting all of my nutrients and nutrient dense foods like those I listed are really hard for my body to break down. Right when I started showing severe signs of celiac, I began reacting to MSG and those foods. I've been able to eat everything else just fine. FODMAPS is definitely something to consider. If it is FODMAPS, you generally will react positively within 2 weeks of being on a low FODMAPS diet. It won't fix everything, but you will see positive results sooner than just going GF. Corn is definitely also a trigger and it is tough as nails to root out. It's in everything from food packaging to disposable plates and cups, toilet paper, cosmetics etc. It's literally in 90% of anything GF, unless people making the product know work-arounds. Due to corn being a subsidy in many countries (esp the US!) it's in so much stuff you almost can't get away from it and hospitals do not know how to handle a corn allergy. Its even in saline solution you get in your IV. |

Re: Gluten Sensitivity May Not Exist
I've read this and was struggling to put my finger on why this bothers me. At the root the science seems faulty. If you really wanted to know about how a body reacts to various food triggers wouldn't you make an attempt to reset the body to zero as a control?
I don't know. It just feels off but then I am fairly certain my daughter is Celiac not just gluten sensitive even though her blood test came back negative. We were not going to put a 3 yo through a biopsy to attempt to confirm when we, including her dr, observed the difference living GF has made for her. I could even show you pictures of her as a 2 yo who was eating normally and a 4yo who was eating GF. Drastic! |

Re: Gluten Sensitivity May Not Exist
I really believe celiac is just one manifestation of damage that can occur when somebody who is sensitive to wheat/gluten eats it. Celiac just means that your gut was damaged severely enough for particles to leak out and for your body to form antibodies against them, right? So we don't go from a condition of no damage to severe damage with antibodies present instantaneously, right? Therefore, damage can be present in various forms whether those antibodies are there yet or not.

Re: Gluten Sensitivity May Not Exist
i find that kind of thing hilarious. It's like they think my diarrhea was imaginary after i reintroduced the gluten.
