Hi!  Just hope this is the right place for me to be.  I have done all the testing and scopes.  Went gluten free, still raised counts, the gluten free house, when that didn't work my GI put me on Fasano diet and low fodmap.  Finally my counts are below the threshold, borderline but still below!  It is hard to believe that my 7ppm flour was a culprit.

my spouse even went fully gluten free at work and throws his clothes in the wash as soon as he comes in since not doing that has led to issues.  My cousin just was hospitalized for refractory sprue complications.  Luckily so far I can keep my counts down so it looks like RS isn't in my future.

So howdy!  Hope this is the right spot, can't wait to learn more.

Welcome to the forum!

Lucky you to have a celiac-savvy GI!  Looks like your modified gluten-free diet helped you!  Did you read this study?  Bet your GI did!  

Open Original Shared Link

Many members have reported results like yours after going on this diet.  They were struggling to get their (or their kid's) antibody levels down even though they were gluten-free diet compliant.  Makes you think, huh?  

I personally have done better eliminating all grains.  I found this out after my diabetes diagnosis a year after my celiac disease diagnosis.  A Low Carb High Fat diet (or eat to my meter) really improved my health and blood sugar.  Grains, no matter what the type, impacted my blood sugar.   I also avoid most processed gluten-free foods and do not eat out (rarely).  Many of my food intolerances have resolved too.  Not all, (I keep testing) but I am happy with my progress.

      Welcome to the forum, @Amyinwyoming! Answers to your question that you might receive may not be helpful to you as an individual since sensitivity levels vary significantly within the gluten sensitive/gluten intolerant/celiac community. The other complicating factor is that low levels of gluten in a product may not cause obvious symptoms but may still generate low level inflammation in the small bowel. When in doubt, it is best to pass on the product. I'm not a particularly sensitive celiac so I might allow myself to eat something at a guest's house that was made from a food product with the kind of disclaimer label you describe but I typically shy away from buying them or consuming them when I have a choice.

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Started having ataxia symptoms (tremor, twitching, leg weakness, slurred speech) approx 1 year ago. I have had extensive neurological testing and negative. However, I had celiac blood and gene testing that were both markedly positive. Have been gluten free for almost 1 year but still having episodes or flairs. Has anyone else experienced this?  I have been pretty strict about my diet and am also dairy free.  How long before it took you to feel like symptoms mostly resolved?    I would like to add I’ve also been pregnant for most of this time, so I’m seeing a lot of my symptoms return postpartum. Now that I’m also having regular bowel movements in comparison to the constipation from pregnancy, I am noticing evidence of malabsorption in my stool. I also lost weight postpartum quickly. I have an upcoming appointment with a G.I. to hopefully get an endoscopy done. I’m on several supplements and have no known deficiencies on bloodwork. Has anyone found that increasing fiber or starting a digestive enzyme supplement helped?    I am hoping there is still some chance for my body to heal since it has been 11 months on the diet.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
