Hello, all! Celiac has been ruled out, but non celiac gluten sensitivity and lactose intolerance have been dear friends of mine for years now. Avoid corn, most coconut stuff, most citrus stuff as well. . . It drives my family crazy, but I'm thrilled to eat whatever doesn't leave me curled up in the bathroom for extended periods.

Hi Laura, have you thought about any other intolerances causing your symptoms? I've been on a gf diet for 13 years, and I find that I have a gluten like reaction to soy products. Some people are also lactose intolerant. Other things I would consider are if a condiment or butter got cross contaminated somehow or if one of the food brands changed ingredients and you didn't realize. I have done this accidentally before. Just some thoughts!

Hi Laura, When I developed as you say explosive watery stools it turned out I had a giardia infection, so get your stools tested. I've no idea where I caught it as I don't drink out of mountain streams or puddles. This could be caused by any number of things so go see the doc & get your stools tested.

Hi Laura. What you describe sounds just awful. It seems to me that you might have to see a gastroenterologist and perhaps someone who can test you for more allergies. At the same time that I got Diabetes and developed Celiac Disease, I also became intolerant of corn, soy and some tree nuts. There is also a lot of hidden gluten in medications and foods. Shopping takes me so long as I check label after label... Good luck!

Hi Everyone. I've been having an issue and I don't know what to blame this on. I have been a diabetic for 47 years and a year ago was diagnosed with celiac. So I go on the celiac diet and I am very strict about it probably because I was sick for about 2 years and lost weight like crazy. So I finally get to feeling better and things are going pretty well. Then right after Christmas, NO cheating all throughout, mind you, and now I have had explosive, watery stools every day. So is this another celiac thing or something they call diabetic diarrhea? I've never heard of dd until recently so I really don't know. I've also taken myself off dairy as that seemed to be causing an issue. So now I'm taking Immodium to try to stop it, which does work but it's always back in the morning. Do I go back to GI -and they really know nothing about celiac, so I'm not thinking I'm going to get any info there. Or is this a diabetic thing? Please help!Stomach is back to hurting, the big D's back - only different. Any knowledge of what might be happening?

Thank you Trudy, I'll look into this....

Hi Kimball. Yes, it is a problem that many non-gluten foods are high carb. Resources that I use are: http://www.livingwithout.com/ and www.yourlighterside.com and www.elanaspantry.com. Those sites have meals and dessert recipes. Baked food with almond flour and/or coconut flour are low GI. Sorghum flour works a lot like wheat and I like the taste; I stay away from rice flour. Hope that helps -- good luck!

My identical twin has celiac but not diabetes. I was advised to go off gluten, so I did. I like it because, if I stay away from the highly process gluten free foods, my sugars and my energy are a lot better. Always on the lookout for good new recipes w low GI. Anybody out there have some resources they especially like?

Was similar/ same amount of carbs - different source. Of course a lot of wheat products (bread, and pizzas) can be fairly high GI, so not simple...

If you stay low carb, you can keep your insulin lower.
