Pro-Tip Zach: If you need the boost from energy drinks without the carbonated part, they make some of those powdered juice water mixes that includes energy drink-type boost stuff, so those could help

For Zach's description of a kidney stone sensation. I have fortunately only had a small kidney stone so far but I am informed by some women that have given birth and had kidney stones that it has been the only pain comparable to child birth they ever experienced.

My girl friend gave birth and couple years later have kidney stones. She said that pain from kidney stones is incomparable to anything. Even pain while giving birth is... less painful?

[@TristenSarelvun]

When I was in the hospital for suspected kidney stones, the doctor told me their female patients considered them worse than childbirth... and considering that was the least comforting thing I could be told at the time, I'm inclined to believe it.

[@Yasha_U]

carbonated drinks are typically very acidic so maybe that's the cause for your stomach to go crazy? or is it strictly carbonated drinks?

[@Vlugazoide]

Also sodas and energy drinks are really acidic, so my immediate thought was gastritis

[@BigVorst]

Yeah, as soon as he mentioned carbonation, acidity was the first thing that came to my mind.

[@SKy_the_Thunder]

Congrats, Zach. If you're up for traveling, Germany has over 3000 acknowledged types of bread, with a bunch of variations and local types not accounted for. You'll find a bakery around every other corner and can eat your way through their goods. My favorite translates to "pumpkin cheese crust", a whole grain bread with plenty of pumpkin seeds mixed into the dough and covered in some shredded cheese before baking. The pumpkin seeds make both taste and texture more interesting, and the slight cheese-y note of the crust contrasts it.

The Zach's Gluten Allergy arc was the anime story arc I didn't know I needed.

[@thomasg2488]

We went from Gluten to broomsticks in the ass. This is the content I’m here for

[@leonredgrave]

I didn't think that Celiacs would show up on an allergy test. When I got diagnosed, they had to do an upper endoscopy, or shove a camera down my throat while I was KO'd under anesthetic. They found my stomach lining/celia was deteriorated in a manner matching a Celiacs diagnosis, no other signs besides I got sick when I ate gluten. Glad you got it straightened out and can enjoy non-GF stuff Zach!

[@adrian9048]

Yeah you're right, it wouldn't, since it isn't an allergy. There are some blood tests that can support the diagnosis of celiac disease but to get a conclusive result you need a biopsy. But judging from how much better he's feeling it would probably be a bit unnecessary for him to go through that. 😂

[@myschiefmuintir7357]

It actually does, surprisingly. Blood allergy tests read certain proteins and hormones in the blood that are released during an allergic reaction - elevated levels of certain ones denote allergies. Celiac disease cannot be DIAGNOSED through a blood allergy test, as the main proteins and signals that are released through a Celiac reaction are IgA and tTGIgA, and they won't show up, rather only being seen properly on a specific test for them (often part of an AutoImmune Panel). Blood allergen tests will show precisely what he said his did and should instead be treated as a sign that you should be TESTED for Celiac. You can also test for levels of Gliadin in the bloodstream, but that only tells you how much bread the person has recently eaten. Recently, they've made it possible to verify a Celiac diagnosis through two properly timed IgA blood tests or through one such test and a Dermatits Herpatiformis-local skin biopsy if you're one of the 1% or so of Celiac patients who experiences the skin rashes with exposure. Good luck with your gf diet, and hopefully the new Crispr tech they're working with actually pans out and works!

[@Zach_Hazard]

IT IS IN EVERYTHING, WHY

[@mrfancypanzer549]

@@Zach_Hazard WHY IS IT IN FUCKING POTATO CHIPS?

[@hollowriller]

​In some cases the food is made in the same facility that handles other Wheat related items thus there can be traces of Wheat from the air/production line. If it's always enough to be medically relevant is hard to say but it's cheaper to put on packages than to risk a lawsuit. So you can never be quite sure if it's unsafe or not.

[@WinterRaven25]

The VA gets the doctors that are too good for the actual military but still not good enough for private hospitals or clinics.

[@gurkkroleplay8830]

I'm really happy for Zach that he is able to get his issues figured out. I had some really weird stomach issues a few months ago and had no clue what was going on. I went to doctor after doctor after doctor, every food allergy test, thyroid, liver, kidneys, stomach, literally anything that could be tested was tested and we couldn't figure out what was going on. I eventually had to drop out of school because it was such a continuous issue, and a few days after dropping out, it vanished. Turns out I just have a stress disorder that makes it so I just can't function if I'm constantly stressed out, my entire body just decides it time to stop working.

[@popebryanii7224]

It's good to hear that after a year of being gluten-free. Zach really got gaslit by the VA into thinking he had celiac disease. When really it was his unhealthy lifestyle. But monster really will give you kidney stones. I remember just sitting in class in my senior year of high school and just feeling this sharp pain coming from my stomach area. I went to the bathroom and peed out a nickel sized kidney stone and took a picture for science. I ended up showing it to my sister, who was a nurse, and she was flabbergasted that I didn't pass out from the pain. I drink redbull if I need energy now, cause I don't want that ever again.

[@DUCKDUDE4100]

Stomach problems are very common in people with ADHD and/or ASD, and carbonated drinks and high amounts of caffiene are very likely to trigger those in us.

[@Vlugazoide]

Because of the increased levels of stress?

There is also a certain red dye that affects people with ADHD

Yay Zach! I'm glad you figured out what the problem was! Though I would be interested what your reaction to non-carbonated caffeinated things would be. Stuff like the caffeinated Mio or Crystal Lite. Like, I know those aren't great for you either, but if you need your daily stimulant fix those might be an option? Or just, meth.

[@sebbes333]

*@mikeburnfire* More experimentation: 3:30 try taking a carbonated beverage, shake it up REALLY much, so all the carbonation is gone, then drink it (sorry, it's flat), and see if that still makes your stomach bad. If it is bad, it might be some chemical in the drink that your body don't like (try other drinks, possibly make them flat first too) You can also try "Nitrogenated" drinks (using Nitrogen, instead of Carbon dioxide, for the "carbonation"), but they are hard to find.

Let them go flat overnight in the fridge with the lid half on (keep out the food flavors). See if you can drink either of those w/o issue. (Try not to drink both on the same day.)
