i was diagnosed with celiac last month and had gone to GI for pinchy feeling near my right side gall bladder area under ribs - prior to seeing the GI i had an ultrasound that showed gallbladder liver and pancreas were all normal and i had a blood test as well which showed all my levels were normal but iron which was slightly low and had been most of my life - is gallbladder dysfunction call for removal?  i am reading blogs where some people are saying that - i don’t want to have to remove it - anything i can do to help it??

MadMom,

The Autoimmune Paleo Diet can help keep your gallbladder healthy.  Make sure you get enough of the eight B vitamins which are water soluble and must be replenished daily.  Think about taking extra vitamin B1, Thiamine, which helps supply your body with energy and enzymes needed for your body to function properly.  Thiamine deficiency has been linked to digestive problems, including malfunctioning gall bladders, called Gastrointestinal Beriberi.

I found some articles.....

"The Little-Known Connection between Leaky Gut, Gluten Intolerance, and Gallbladder Problems"

https://kresserinstitute.com/little-known-connection-leaky-gut-gluten-intolerance-gallbladder-problems/

And....

"Gross and histological changes in the gall-bladder in Beriberi"

https://academic.oup.com/trstmh/article-abstract/22/3/285/1924309?redirectedFrom=fulltext

And...

"Gastrointestinal beriberi: a forme fruste of Wernicke’s encephalopathy?"

Sorry but in your post you say: "prior to seeing the GI i had an ultrasound that showed gallbladder liver and pancreas were all normal and i had a blood test as well which showed all my levels were normal." I guess I don't understand your post, because you said that your gallbladder is normal. Did the doctor find something that you are not sharing in your post?

Yes, it can take up to two years to recover. Be sure your diet is 100% gluten-free, and this article might be helpful:

      Popcorn pain

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      Popcorn pain

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
