gluten-free diet….

[Sue84]

I was diagnosed with celiac 15 years ago and follow gluten-free diet 98% -100% of the time-i eat mostly plant based, chicken, turkey, and seafood -it seems like everything gives me diarrhea,gas, bloating, etc-i loved food n now its always a problem n i am a healthy eater- before  celiac i never had a problem!!  Any thoughts?

How does it happen that up to 2% of the time you eat gluten? Are these usually accidental exposures or a breakdown in resolve? Not meaning to sound judgmental but when I read that the first thought I had was, how serious is this poster taking her celiac disease? Maybe that 2% is enough to keep the disease active.

Switching gears here but did you know that it is common for celiacs to develop other food intolerances over time? It's tied to the dysfunction of the celiac's immune system that unravels little bit by little bit over time. You might need to do an elimination diet to see what's triggering your symptoms or at least start keeping a food diary so that you might be able to see patterns between what you eat and when you develop symptoms. But realize the symptoms can accrue from something you ate yesterday. There may be significant delay. So that's where keeping a food diary for several weeks can help you spot patterns when the symptoms are delayed.
