Hi everyone I've been gluten free for a year now. Waiting for blood test this week to check the levels ( to see if they have gone down) it's been a year on and I keep getting mucus in my stool and diarreaoh every now and then. Can you still suffer these symptoms On a gluten free diet? I don't eat out all food made at home .

 

thanks

yes you can- eating gluten-free is not a cure for all GI issues.  we all have issues with diarrhea or mucus etc on occasion - probiotics regularly can produce it as well as some foods - as long as you are eating healthy and clean you will continue to feel better - im on year 2 and my levels were in the marsh 3-4 range and now are undetectable however i have moments where something i eat may give me a GI reaction and mucus was one - you’re doing fine 🙌🏻

Many celiacs need to exclude other things like dairy/cow's milk, oats, etc. Sometimes these additional food intolerance issues will go away after months or years on a gluten-free diet, but sometimes they won't It would make sense for you to keep a food diary to find the offending foods.

      NEW - 7 year old daughter diagnosed but 'not officially' - negligence from NHS

      By trents · Posted

      Essentially all of our UK forum participants who are in the process of a celiac disease diagnosis report that after their blood antibody testing is done, they have to wait many months to get the endoscopy/biopsy for confirmation. My impression is that the UK/European health care models do great at addressing routine healthcare needs but poorly at specialty healthcare needs.

      I think both systems have merits and faults, but in my opinion no citizen of any country should be denied health care, and it should be a basic human right, no matter your income.

      I want to stand up for the NHS! Yes, it has its issues, but after moving from the U.S. a few years ago, it’s been a real eye-opener to see just how much better the NHS is compared to the American healthcare system. For example, I can call my GP in the morning and often get an appointment that same day. Healthcare is provided to all UK residents, free at the point of use, no matter your income or job status. That’s a massive relief. In the U.S., people regularly go bankrupt because of medical bills—it’s one of the leading causes of financial ruin. Here, that just doesn’t happen. Plus, the UK consistently reports lower infant mortality rates and higher life expectancy compared to the U.S. No...

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Russ H · Posted

      I developed a heart arrhythmia and on several occasions had to wear a 24 hour Holter monitor. Among other things, I had premature atrial complexes (PACs) and occasional AFib. I was very fit at the time, running and cycling. This completely disappeared following my diagnosis and following a strict gluten free diet. I haven't had a single episode since, in 4 years.

      Newly diagnosed with non celiac gluten sensitivity

      By trents · Posted

      Testing for celiac disease, whether blood antibody testing or biopsy procedure, will likely be invalidated when the gluten consumption has been discontinued ahead of the testing or the procedure for more than a couple of weeks or so. For the person with celiac disease, the consumption of gluten results in the production of specific antibodies that can be detected in the blood because the immune system is attacking the gluten as it comes in contact with the small bowel lining. The blood testing is designed to detect these antibodies. Over time, the inflammation wears down the villi that line the small bowel. The biopsy is designed to spot this damage to the lining.
