Gastric Sleeve Surgery with Celiac

Okay. I know better. I ate a part of a hotdog on a regular bun and now I can't quit having diarrhea and major cramping. It has been going on for three days. Shouldn't it be out of my system by now? I also had gastric sleeve surgery, so the amount I can eat is very small. Has anyone else had the gastric surgery with celiac?

We have had members with gastric surgery post before.  You may have to search the forum to find their threads.  I don't think they are regular visitors to the forum tho.

Celiac disease is an auto-immune condition.  The immune system can continue reacting for weeks to months once it is triggered.  Getting it (gluten) out of your system doesn't end the immune system attack on your body.  Time does that.

Jeannie,

I am so sorry for all your health issues. Do you regret the surgery? How is your digestive system now? What foods seem to allow a smooth week?

Of course it never occurred to your doctors that undiagnosed Celiac Disease might be the reason you needed the bypass surgery in the first place. Dr Mark Hymen of the Cleveland Clinic Institute of Functional Medicine has a new book, What the Heck Should I Eat? and Dr Amy Meyers specializes in treating autoimmune diseases. Dr. Meyers, The Autoimmune Solution. Both authors are gluten free advocates of functional medicine.

I was diagnosed with celiac three years before the surgery.  I’ve always had stomach issues starting in first grade. Probably had celiac but doctor’s called it nervous stomach, spastic stomach, IBS.  I was always super skinny as a kid but my weight gain started after having kids. I  had the surgery because I couldn’t lose weight, no matter the diet and exercise. I thought with all the digestive issues, I shouldn’t be overweight.  I’ve learned that celiac patients can be overweight!

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      Feel Good gluten free chicken soup dumplings

      By Visionaerie · Posted

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      By ognam · Posted

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.
