Hi everyone. Hope you guys are ok. I know I’ve asked couple of times how long did it take for you to completely heal but it’s been 7 months since I’ve started my gluten-free diet I do still experiencing ups and downs,like back pain,achy body,weird feeling in ears,achy feet,blurred vision,also gained weight feeling hungry all the time. I was feeling pretty well 3 months after diet and I was thinking that’s it an I got healed but somehow symptoms started again,not as bad as before but still.. is it normal to feel like this after 7 months?? And also 4 months after diet my blood work got improved. I still take antidepressants. Anyhow,did it take more than a year for anyone to get completely better?

The average time to recovery is 2 years, but this can vary greatly from person to person, and depends on how much intestinal damage you had, weather or not you're taking vitamin & mineral supplements, are 100% gluten-free, etc. If you eat out at restaurant you're probably getting some trace amounts of gluten in your diet.

I don’t eat at restaurants at all. But it’s hard to live with gluten consuming family members. Do you think Marsh 3a score is advanced stage or mild stage?

Marsh 3a would be considered mild damage:

Are you taking vitamin D, B-Complex, and any other supplements? Low vitamin D levels as well as others can be associated with depression. One of our moderator @knitty kitty might be able to recommend more about this.

I’m taking supplements,but not every day. And I usually don’t take them all in one day. I do usually split them,for example Monday B complex,Tuesday iron supplement,Wednesday vitamin D. Not able to digest all of them in one day…

I'm sorry you're not feeling as much improved as you would like to be by now.  I do think that you would have better results if you took the B vitamins every day.  

The B vitamins would help you with your symptoms, but they need to be taken consistently.  When we take them every day, the B vitamins will improve the body's functions and repair the nerves that are causing problems like the burning feet, blurry vision and weird ear sensations.  

As a healing Celiac, we need to supply our bodies with the essential B vitamins it needs to function every day and for healing.  Since our stores get depleted so rapidly when we've been ill, we need to take the B Complex to replenish those stores.  

Do try not to get your gluten free foods contaminated with regular gluteny foods others in your household may consume.  

Hope you feel better soon!

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, your symptoms are certainly consistent with possible celiac disease. Were you eating lots of gluten daily in the 6-8 weeks before the test? If not it could lead to false negative results. When you post your results please also include the reference ranges, as each lab uses their own. Good luck!

      Keep us posted on your results. I hope you don't have to wait too long. Are you planning to have your son tested? Do you feel your father might get tested? Wishing you all better health.🍀

      Waiting on camera test

      Were you eating lots of gluten in the 6-8 weeks before your blood test? If not, you can end up with false negative results. Feel free to share your blood test results--were your antibody levels elevated at all?  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. If your biopsy ends up negative you still may want to go gluten-free for a few months to see if your symptoms go away. Also, be sure to eat tons of gluten daily in the 2 weeks leading up to your endoscopy, otherwise you could get false negative results.

      Enegy level extremely low

      It's difficult to say exactly why, but it is worth discussing this with your doctor, as it can by a symptom of other things--especially if you're also losing weight.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By ChrisSeth · Posted

      Hi I finally visited with the Dr today and she ordered labs to be done. Not just for celiac disease but about 7 blood tests in total including iron levels. I’m 30 years old.  My symptoms are  -Chronic diarrhea. In the last month and I half I had it multiple times a day, everyday. Pretty often occurrences  before I really started paying attention.  -frequent headaches  -fatigue -had my appendix removed 1 year ago due to appendicitis (not sure if this is related) -frequent stomach rumbling and gas -sleep disturbances-waking up multiple times a night (3-5 times a night) -severe restless leg syndrome  -generally just don’t feel well on a daily basis -hands and feet get cold very easily tingly feet -anxiety/depression/mood swings/irritability . I take medication for bipolar disorder and anxiety but still have anxiety  -sometimes get acid reflux. And sometimes it’s really bad. Like wake up choking on vomit thinking I’m gonna die bad.  My son is 6 and has excema, is anemic, is on 2nd percentile for growth, gets constipated, and is at risk of having seizures… My Dad was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis as a kid 50 years ago, and has a non alcoholic fatty liver, is anemic, and is fatigued.    I’ll post my results as soon as I get them. To be honest I’m hoping it is celiac disease as it could explain so many things I’m dealing with.
