Not Managing Solid Foods Too Well

I've been gluten free for almost 2 months and some symptoms have subsided. However, I can only eat one solid meal a day. I'm still relying on bananas and boost to keep me going. I know my intestines are in ruins and it will take time for them to heal. Anyone else in the same boat? If you were and have gotten better, how long until you could resume a normal diet?

After two months gluten free you should be feeling some relief (although I don't know your history in your previous posts).  Review your diet and keep a food diary.  Have you checked your meds, shampoo, lipsticks, or do you share equipment in your kitchen.

 

Begining a full gluten free diet is not as easy as some assume. It can be pretty complex and the learning curve is steep.  And a non balanced diet, is not good, as well.

 

You should eat meats, fish, fresh veggies, and fruit.  Potatoes and rice are good too.  Any simple product is good (ie. one ingredient).  And make sure no gluten gets past you.  Good luck and hope for a more rapid recovery. :)

BZBEE  After at least 30 years of symptoms and probably more years, I am 11 months gluten free.  I recently discovered intolerances to nearly all of the foods I have been eating.  I have likely not healed to the max because of those other intolerances.  Yet, I do feel better and like I am heading back to wholeness.  Just do the best you can cutting gluten and keep considering all else you can do as you need to.

 

I hope you will be feeling better as soon as possible.

      Celiac or not?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for the update.  So interesting to know how things are changing, when I was diagnosed I had very similar blood results but still had to have the endoscopy.  Glad you know where you stand.  As your father has celiac disease you probably already know a lot about it, but do contact us if we can help further.

      But isn't it easier to just take a D3 supplement? Is the D light somehow a superior source? Links?

      So the way it should be used is to take it before possible gluten exposure, so right before a meal at a restaurant take 1-2 capsules. Unfortunately taking it 1 hour or more after an exposure is too late.

      Do I really need to get a biopsy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, and thank you for sharing your detailed experience. It sounds like you’ve been through a lot over the past several months, and it’s understandable to feel frustrated after navigating unclear diagnoses and conflicting advice. Since you’ve found relief with a gluten- and corn-free diet, it might be worth continuing that approach for now, especially given your current commitments to culinary classes. You could consider working with a knowledgeable dietitian or a gastroenterologist who specializes in food intolerances and celiac disease to explore potential intolerances or other conditions without immediately reintroducing gluten. If confirming celiac disease is important for your long-term health management, you could plan for an endoscopy during a less busy period, ensuring you follow the gluten challenge protocol beforehand. In the meantime, prioritizing your well-being and avoiding known triggers seems like a practical step. Always advocate for yourself with doctors, and seek second opinions if needed—your health concerns are valid. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
