<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>>
What can I say...but Thank All of You for the information that you share!
I am clipping some info in...but overall..."too much of the alternatives
become problematic as well." Of course not for everyone...but Rotation is
key in the diet...
So here is some additional info:
*****
"I've heard of a couple of celiacs who have developed sensitivities to rice
after long term g.f. diets, with lots of rice.
As for corn, that is one of the 8 foods that cause 90% of food allergies.
Similar to rice in that it is in the grain family, but does not contain
gluten."
*****
"Many celiacs have intolerances & allergies to other foods. It's not
technically part of celiac, but often as result of the damage to our gut &
immune systems. I personally can't tolerate any grains, starches or sugars.
I follow the specific carbohydrate diet as closely as I can with my many,
many food allergies & intolerances."
*****
"An awful lot of us have allergies to foods besides just wheat. Haven't
figured out all mine yet, but have been reading this list for over a year
now, and there are so, so many of us with other allergies. Do not know why,
just that it seems to work that way."
*****
"One resource that has been helpful is Sally Rockwell's "The Rotation Game:
a diversified rotation diet". This helped me to get a handle on what I
could eat and when."
*****
"Celiac disease is defined as villi flattening in response to gluten, so no,
your grain reactions are not a part of celiac disease. There are people,
like my brother and apparently you, who are celiacs but in addition react to
other carbohydrates. The Specific Carbohydrate Diet may help you."
*****
"From what I have read, it seems that celiac can cause permeability of the
gut so things that would not normally be absorbed are. This can lead to
food allergies because, I believe, the unbroken down food can be absorbed
and the body produces antibodies to it. So if you ate some food often, you
may become allergic to it."
*****
OK...so this is getting long...and we all get the general meaning. All of
the information was wonderful. There is actually a lot that I would like to
tell all of you about me and my condition. But I think this email is long
enough. I will say this...about 7 years ago I did go on a no-carb diet...of
which I modified (stupidly)...nothing but steak & eggs basically...(dumby)
left out veggies. I dropped 40 pounds in 4 weeks -- cool! Yea right...got
real sick--lack of veggies. So I went back to eating normally.
Today, after having my diagnosis for 12 days...eating fresh veggies & fruits
and steak & even fish (I hate fish)...my condition has improved (I will
elaborate in next email)...added bonus...dropped about 8 pounds!
Thanks again all of you...looking forward to future email

I am looking for information for/from/about Celiacs who are also allergic to
many of the alternatives. I have just learned (after many years) that one
of my diseases is Celiac...but my test also showed I have allergies to Corn
and Rice. My family already has experience with GF diet (my brother is
Autistic & must be GF), but when my results came back with Rice, we were
very surprised. Is this or can this also be a part of Celiac?
