Hello there! I have already written on this site: https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/157164-i-feel-so-bad/#comment-1100551. Now I would like to find out from someone who knows what is best for me to do and whether there is a way out of my situation at all. I'll start with the story: it all started 2 years ago when I had severe stress and helicobacter. Helicobacter was successfully treated for me a year ago. But after antibiotic therapy, I developed acne (pimples climb on corn, citrus fruits, and gluten-free oatmeal). So I spent almost a year on rice, potatoes, and boiled meat. Unfortunately, my body has stopped assimilating oils (margarine, vegetable oil, olive oil, I have not tried others). I have diarrhea from oils, my stomach rumbles very much on the left in the stomach area, bad breath, gases with the smell of hydrogen sulfide (the same symptoms from any fruits, berries, vegetables, even with a low fodmap content). I tried the therapy that was advised to me: I took vitamin D3, tanned, took magnesium citrate, but the vitamin B complex made my pimples crawl, and my stomach rumbled from L-glutamine. In general, it got better after therapy. Now in the hospital I have been diagnosed with sibo with the help of a breath test. The result is positive for lactulose, negative for fructose. I take rifaximin and vitamin B12, the rumbling has passed, but I am worried about the possibility of a relapse. How do I avoid it? And why do I feel so bad from oils and even teas, such as mint? How to populate the intestines with beneficial bacteria after sibo without causing sibo? And since I have chronic constipation, could you suggest something? I forgot to say that in a regular hospital I had an ultrasound with a load, and they found a dysfunction of the gallbladder. In a better hospital, they did it without any load. And I don't understand, does this sibo somehow affect the gallbladder or what? Sorry for having so much text and questions

Around 9% of celiacs can't have even gluten-free oatmeal, as they have a separate intolerance to the avenin protein. Perhaps cut out oatmeal and corn for a couple of months to see if this helps?

      I had celiac panel done back in October, only ttg iga came back high  (22 with positive being over 3). Endoscopy done in January, it was  negative. Genetic test done after endoscopy, negative for both hla dq2 & dq8. Did show positive for dqa1*05.  Scheduled to meet with an allergist next week. Not scheduled to meet with GI specialist till after allergist. Confused if I have celiac or what caused high the antibodies originally if I do not.

      Tums is an antacid.  Calcium (also vitamin D) need it acidic for absorption, so you're not really getting any calcium benefit.  Try DGL, it coats rather than counteracts acid. You need acid anyway to digest and get those vitamins. It's usually not too much acid that causes heartburn, it's not enough acid which causes food to rot and ferment in the stomach. Try DGL, everyone I've gotten to actually try it has had great relief. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001IAJW0K

      We usually see mucus in the stool in those with undiagnosed celiac disease and those not adhering to a gluten free diet. However, the mucus could also be coming from lower down in the intestinal track. I would seek a physician consult. You might also check into getting a follow-p endoscopy/biopsy on the small bowel to check for healing progress since going gluten free.

      @ARSTONE, not to be picky because there has been evolution in the terminology with regard to gluten disorders. And the terms "gluten intolerance" and "gluten sensitivity" are still used by some interchangeably. But with time, "gluten intolerance" has become synonymous with celiac disease with "gluten sensitivity" referring to NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Having said that, whatever it may be, apparently there is an ingredient in that product that doesn't agree with you.

      @Manaan2, You may want to consider switching from Miralax (polyethylene glycol) to magnesium citrate and Thiamine supplements.   When I was prescribed Miralax for constipation, I developed worsened gastrointestinal problems, including worsening leaky gut syndrome.  Since polyethylene glycol is a synthetic chemical made from petroleum or coal byproducts, I was uncomfortable with that.   Miralax can cause poor vitamin absorption, flushing vitamins and minerals away before they can be absorbed.  Miralax can cause electrolyte imbalances, meaning low magnesium.  Low magnesium levels can cause constipation.  Low Thiamine Vitamin B1 can cause constipation as well.  Magnesium and Thiamine work together to make life sustaining enzymes.  Without sufficient thiamine and magnesium, the gastrointestinal tract slows down resulting in constipation, a sort of catch twenty-two.   I quit taking Miralax.  I took a form of Thiamine, Benfotiamine 250-300 mg, at the beginning of every meal and 200mg magnesium citrate or magnesium glycinate or magnesium l-threonate (Neuromag) at the end of every meal.  My constipation resolved quickly.  When my stool got too loose, I simply reduced the amount of magnesium.  I did not reduce Benfotiamine which has been shown to promote intestinal health and reduce leaky gut syndrome.  If thiamine at night gives too much energy to fall asleep at night, skip the Benfotiamine at the last evening meal. Blood tests ate not accurate measures of vitamin sufficiency.  The best way to check for Thiamine insufficiency is to take it and look for health improvement within a few days.  Thiamine is water soluble, easily excreted in urine if not needed.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic when used in high doses.  No harm in trying, just to rule this out.   Best wishes.  Do keep us posted on your daughter's progress!
