Rapid Weight Loss and Overall Food Intolerance ?

I got diagnosed with celiacs near the end of 2021 and immediately went gluten free. it was pretty easy, since i never really had issues w dairy meat anything like that. until last month ahh.

my stomach cannot handle ANYTHING. no meat, no dairy, no nothing without painful stabbing gut and behind the rib pains, impediment sprint to the bathroom, and stomach gurgles. louddd stomach gurgles. and moderate uncomfortable bloating. i’m super safe about gluten, i have my own toaster own utensils pans everything. even special gluten free seasoning. so i don’t know what’s up and it’s frustrating because i LOVEE food, but i can’t eat food without being in immense pain and chillin by a bathroom for an hour. 

i’m also losing weight pretty rapidly, im 17 and 5’2 and i went from 125 pre diagnosis to 108 now, which is scaring me. i know i’m young and weight fluctuates and that’s normal but ah idk what’s going on and wanted to know that if i’m alone or not with this.

Hi gigib55. Welcome to the forum. Chronic vitamin and mineral deficiencies are common. Choline deficiency causing gall bladder problems. As a single egg supplies about 20–25% of your daily requirement, two large eggs provide almost half. Choline is a large part of bile which is needed to process fat.  Increasing folate can compensate for choline deficiency. When you stop eating fortified wheat products you don't get the added folic acid, so the already low intake found in many Americans diet is insufficient. It takes the equivalent of 4 eggs or 15 ounces of steak or 10 cups of cooked broccoli to reach the minimum (100% RDA 450 mg) recommended intake of choline. The RDA upper limit is around 27 eggs a day, 3500 mg and the negative side effects (low blood pressure, fishy body odor) are not usually seen at less than 7000 mg a day. A bottle of Phosphatidyl Choline or Choline may help. Eat lots of leafy greens.

CHOLINE DEFICIENCY IS A THING. HERE’S WHY YOU NEED IT

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.

      Not sure if related to coeliac disease but my ear ringing  has stepped up a notch since diagnosis.  Even since a child silence really hurts my ears - there is always a really loud noise if there is no other noise in a quiet room - but my brain has learned to filter it out.  Since diagnosis in my forties I also get a metallic ringing in my ears, sometimes just one, sometimes both.  But it comes and goes.   My sister also suffers now, we are both in our fifties, but she is not a coeliac, so for all I know it could just be an age thing.  I do get occasional stabbing pain in my ears but that has been all my life, and I do appear to be vulnerable to outer ear infections too.  So not a particularly helpful reply here, but I suppose what I am trying to say is it might be related but then again it could just be one of those things.   I think in the UK where I live doctors like you to report if you get tinnitus in just the one ear.  I reported mine but no cause was found.  Most of the time it is nothing but sometimes it can have a cause that can be treated, so perhaps worth reporting to your GP.
