Signs of Gluten Intolerance vs Celiac: Dr. Taz Explains

[@foreveryours5399]

I start the morning with a coffee, come 11.30 ish I have lunch 15 min later I feel so tired and just want to curl up in a ball and sleep the whole afternoon. I have a meal at night about 5pm and rest for the night before bed at 9.30pm. My energy is very low, my stomach is always bloated like I’m pregnant and I have severe constipation. Always have been like this since I was young. I notice if I eat an apple, and soup throughout the day with a few coffees my energy levels are great? Great video, can’t wait to watch more.

I’m mildly along the ASD, I’ve got a history of childhood trauma plus I also have IBS and ME/CFS. I did some research into gluten alongside these conditions and although I didn’t have celiac cutting out gluten has helped hugely. Sevral people have said I shouldn’t be cutting back on gluten unless I have celiac and I e even heard doctors on TB say the same. However cutting back on gluten seems to have worked a treat so I also believe you can be intolerant to gluten but just allergic like someone with celiac.

I’m gluten free now, but if it says gluten free and turns out that it wasn’t. Trial n error. GI issues, dermatitis, brain fog, memory slow, etc. when I cut out gluten it was very improved. Thanks for recognizing this issue.

A lot of people have a gluten intolerance and don't even know it! Way to go for finding the cause and cutting it out :-)

[@74the_magpie]

@@DrTazMD Lol yea my gastro doc didn’t agree with me but glad you did. 😁

[@blondiez1981]

Wow! So worth cutting out and reintroducing to find out.

[@DrTazMD]

You will be shocked with what you learn!

How many weeks after starting gluten free diet did u feel any difference? I wish that there was a blood test for Non-celiac gluten sensitivity. I have been on gluten free diet for 3 weeks now but i don’t feel any significant difference at all. will try for 2-3 weeks more as doctor has asked for 6 weeks in total. Otherwise will rule out gluten sensitivity.

[@DrTazMD]

Hi At least 6 weeks

How does gluten cause thyroid issues?

[@Brosepha]

Your body products inflammation to foods it doesnt like. Sometimes that in turn attacks your organs and your thyroid is one it attacks.the more you eat things that cause inflammation the more your thyroid gets damaged.

Dear Dr. Taz: It seems like I have some gluten sensitivity, but it's not as serious as my allergies and sensitivities to other foods. For example, Oats, which has another form of gluten, I heard, gives me really bad weeping eczema in the groin and urinary symptoms pretty quickly. And Millet, which is touted as a problem free grain by many health enthusiasts, gives me bouts of urgent and painful urination after I eat it. Since I have been off gluten it seems like my blood sugar metabolism is getting more efficient, and I feel less bloated. Yes, it seems like I have mild to moderate problems with gluten, but I have greater problems with commonly used gluten substitutes and gluten free breads. And I never had problems with Oats or Millet when I was younger - I have experienced many new food allergies and sensitivities as a result of the aging process - I'm 71 now. I like to joke that when I get allergic or sensitive to just about everything, it will be as Arnold Schwarzenegger said: Hasta la vista, baby!

@@naiman4535 jeez maybe try not eating any grains?

Good video

Wondering if have to go through my Doctor to get tested or can I go somewhere else to request to be tested for gluten intolerance? I have horrible anxiety/health anxiety and my doctor will question me why do I want this test and that I’m just worrying about something again…

[@lisamarie73100]

Don't eat gluten for 45 days. Then for 3 days eat gluten. If you symptoms get worse, there's your answer.

[@angel.heart007]

@@lisamarie73100 thank you!

[@hemantpahuja4114]

Also, gluten sensitivity / gluten intolerance does not really have a test. Gluten allergy has a test and they r different things. Please review this information.

will do / but your body’s reaction key

Is it normal to get depression when you have celiac?

[@DrTazMD]

Yes! There is a brain component for sure

[@Brosepha]

I suspect my husband has gluten intolerance, even though he loves bread beer and pasta, he gets very bloated and cant lose weight and mood issues.

[@DrTazMD]

that's a sign
