Hi everyone,haven’t posted for a while. I was diagnosed in August 2021  with mild damage to villi,Marsh 3A,and following gluten-free diet since then,had a repeat endoscopy in Dec 2022 and everything was healed,no signs of celiac disease base on the pathologist report. After that I ate some gluten containing food like 2-3 times in and out burger and was fine,but it was just 2-3 times. And also I was ordering food from Persian restaurant and having them be careful with my food,it was like rice and meat,besides that which was in total probably 5-6 times I’m on strict gluten-free diet. For the past 2 months I’m not feeling well,symptoms are headaches,tingling,pins and needles,heartburns ,narrow and floaty stool. I’m taking vitamins and iron but I feel like it makes me even worse with symptoms,especially digestive symptoms. My question is could be the damage to my villi again,meaning could it be the active celiac with villi damage again, and if yes will I be able to get healed again? Seeing my PCP tomorrow for blood work and physical. My anxiety is back and I’m worried. Did anyone has the same situation?

Thank you,

Saba

Hi Saba, Celiacs means going Strictly gluten-free no anything containing Gluten ever or your taking yourself back square one just like never being gluten-free but now with the damage from your immune system attacking the Gluten you claimed to eat on what you said is a Strict gluten-free diet! You should not consume Gluten of any amount? The 2-3 times you said you did will have the affects your feeling because you have villi damage and it can and will cause worse things than that trust me! Eating out anywhere other than cooking your own gluten-free foods at home places you at risk unless you eat in a place dedicated gluten-free and serves nothing but gluten-free foods so there is no risk of cross contamination and or getting the gluten the wrong plate/food that may contain Gluten! I eat at home and only at home, better to be safe than sorry in more ways than one! Your health and life depends on it! If I were you look up Celiacs Disease on the web or even youtube there are good sites that will explain everything in detail from going gluten-free and why to the damage gluten can do other than villous atrophy aka Vili Damage! Stay Strict, No Cheating, Stay Strong! It’s your health and life and your only here a short time and thats all of us! Eliminate Gluten Completely or you will feel like you do or much worse! Good Luck☘️My Best Advice is Educate yourself with the Autoimmune Disorder of Celiacs you have! Don’t count on other peoples guess’s or answer! Find it for yourself like I have and follow it Strictly! I hope this helps!🙂

Hello,thank you:). That’s what I do usually,I’m very sensitive and do take my own food wherever I go. I did just cheat 2-3 times and it was couple of months ago. And last year on my endoscopy it was complete healing. Not quite sure if the gluten-free product that I buy is really gluten-free or not . But I was really good for the past 1 year ,I don’t know what happened. Maybe contamination at home. To be honest I’m so tired explaining my family members how important is that for my health. I clean my kitchen 10000 times a day,because other members of the family eat gluten sometimes. Hopefully blood work results won’t be scary tomorrow:)

You never get cured from celiac. It wii be something you have to to be vigilant of all the time.

Yes sorry about having to share a kitchen, that could be how your getting cross contamination? Yes there is no cure for Celiacs, just a lifelong gluten-free Lifestyle! Just remember you definitely are not alone! We all have one or ten more struggles with it in many aspects of life! Yes it is hard to get people to understand the seriousness of it when they are not in your shoes! I remember when I could eat whatever I wanted for 30+ yrs of my life before Celiacs decided to show up! I’m going on 54 now and have been gluten-free for over 20+yrs! Good Luck☘️Stay Strong💪

Saba, if you ingested Gluten like you said 2-3 and may 5-6 separate times after endoscopy showing no villi damage, then you ate gluten anywhere from that point on especially the amount of times you say you did then you more than likely have villi damage somewhere in your intestines from the gluten you consumed 2-3 whole meals plus 5-6 others whole meals adds up to about 9 separate non gluten free meals you ate or approx. meals eaten which in some cases just a non gluten free cracker can cause damage as a Celiac! If you consume Gluten then it is digested then goes through your intestines where your villi then absorb it into your body, it is those same villi that if gluten is trying to be absorbed there your own immune system will attack those villi seeing gluten as a toxin and thats how you end up with flattening of your villi! So in your case eating gluten containing foods are what has caused your issues and has flattened parts of your villous track maybe just in places not all but for sure sporadically! Thats what Celiacs is and does when gluten is consumed!

Why it’s important to avoid gluten all together and for life if your Celiac!

Maybe. I’m not sure if it’s flatten again. Even on my initial I was told that damage was so mild but of course I do understand that consuming gluten can cause relapse. Hopefully it’s just flare up and not relapse:)

Hi Jane:). I’m 41. No one around me is gluten-free and I did accept my diagnose. But it’s still make me stressed out every time when I go out. I haven't travel at all after my diagnose and it makes really sad. All my friends traveling around the world I can’t even think about it even though all hotels provide gluten-free food but I’m just scared.

Are you adding vitamins and minerals still.  Something changed for you recently.  You've been ok for so long sharing the kitchen, I doubt that is the cause.  Top of the list would be low thiamine or low choline.  Thiamine for digesting carbs, choline for digesting fats.

  • Beriberi is a deficiency of thiamine, vitamin B1. Your body needs thiamine to break down and digest the foods you eat, to keep your metabolism going, and help your muscles and nervous system do their jobs effectively. Beriberi can affect the cardiovascular system or central nervous system.
  • Risk for developing beriberi include: 
  • Those who eat a high-carbohydrate diet, especially refined carbs
  • People with certain digestive problems that can interfere with nutrient absorption, such as Celiac Disease.  Symptoms can appear in only two weeks.
  • Anyone with high levels of stress

I had chronic migraines and headaches ever since I can remember. When I started playing around with nootropics I started supplementing with choline, viola! No more headaches! I take 500mg a day and rarely take noots anymore. If I forget to take the choline for a few days my headaches come back.  Choline headaches: Too much vs too little : r/Nootropics (reddit.com)

Hello. Well my diet is mainly carbs,and no vegetables or fruits,very rare. I think one of the reasons is that probably I’m not getting enough vitamins,but even with adding Bcomplex,B 12 shots and iron supplements I’m not getting the outcome that I should. I think it’s the villi damage again,stool is narrow for the past 3 weeks, heartburns,pain under right rib.I thought it could be because of iron supplements but I don’t think so. I’ve heard that natural flavors could be the source of hidden gluten and I drink Coca Cola sometimes and it has natural flavors also the lip balm I’m using has natural vanilla flavor,so not quite sure if it could be related to that. Also for the past 1 year I eat everything like gluten-free chips,gluten-free chocolates lots of gluten-free snacks,Turkish coffee on daily basis. Don’t want to have repeat endoscopy again,I’ve just had it in December 2022:((

You will do better on 1000 mcg oral tablets or sublingual.

"Effects of B12 vitamins usually last around 48 hours to 72 hours after the initial injection.  50 to 98 percent of the vitamin B12 consumed is eliminated from the body 48 hours after the shot is given.  How soon do you feel less tired after a B12 tablets? It may take a few weeks before your vitamin B12 levels and symptoms (such as extreme tiredness or lack of energy) start to improve. If you have hydroxocobalamin injections to boost your vitamin B12 levels at the start of treatment, the cyanocobalamin tablets may start to work within a few days."  Cyanocobalamin

"As carbohydrate intake increased, thiamine decreased further. In contrast, a lower carbohydrate, higher fat diet slows thiamine loss in thiamine-restricted experimental conditions."   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency

Try a bottle of Benfothiamine or 500 mg a day of Thiamine HCL.  Thiamine has no upper limit and the B complex don't have enough.

Unless you are sunbathing without sunscreen, you and the other 40% of the adults in the US, Canada, Ireland and UK are likely to be low or deficient in vitamin D.

66% of the child bearing age women tested in a gynocologist's office had low or deficient Iodine urine test.

90% of the western population don't eat enough Choline.

More likely deficient choline causing gall bladder issues and fatty liver.  Will also affect brain fog, low energy.

Coca Cola in the US is made with High Fructose Corn Syrup.  Mexican bottled Coke has sugar.  Getting too much fructose can raise your risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. This is when too many fats are stored in liver cells. When you have too much fat buildup, it can lead to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, scarring of the liver, and liver damage.  Combined with low choline it is very bad for the liver.

For quick energy, Red Bull is only essential B vitamins and minerals and Taurine is an essential antioxidant amino acid added to carbinated sugar water. No high fructose corn syrup or exotic herbs to make you think it is good for you while fatting the manufacturers' pockets.

Heres what I am taking:

  1. 10,000 IU vitamin D to control autoimmune.
  2. 500 mg Thiamine sometimes more - neurologic symptoms, neurapathy
  3. 500 mg Nicotinic Acid - increase capillary blood flow will cause flushing and itching for a few days.
  4. 500 mg Pantothenic Acid - creates energy from glucose Krebs Cycle
  5. 1000 mcg B12 - creates hemoglobin for oxygen transport
  6. 500 mg Taurine - essential amino acid, a powerful antioxident that we make indogenously so it is officially labeled "Conditional Essential" as Choline used to be, but not enough when sickness increases inflammation. reduces Reactivite Oxygen Species (ROS are are free radicals.).
  7. 840 mg Phosphatidly Choline x 3 - essential for fat digestion, gall bladder, liver, brain fog, cell membranes, prevent congenital spinal defects (along with B6, B12, folate, Taurine.
  8. Iodine - muscle tone, testosterone, hyper and hypo thyroid, slow healing.  I eat Nori and Kelp

That’s a lot of supplements. What if there is damage to villi again can I get healed?

Saba, Your Vili will regenerate/heal with maintaining a gluten free lifestyle! Also if you take NSAID’s aka Ibuprofen or any form of NSAID’s they have been shown to cause villi damage as well in the small intestine so if at all possible don’t take them! I use Tylenol if I really need to take something which luckily I haven’t taken any in months! As far as energy and fatigue issues I take the 1000mcg’s of B12 tablet form now where I was only taking 90mcg’s in a multi-vitamin tablet form so in saying that not everyone does not absorb tablets as I have no issue with them and have never gotten the injections as I have not needed them! I went from under 200 with my B12 to over 750 in less than 1 week of taking them I noticed no more fatigue or energy issues at the 30-45 day mark which I’m sure started earlier as I said I felt it had I had to wait to have the bloodwork done once getting them and giving my body a chance with them in my system to show on the bloodwork! I also recently added a B-complex and my fatigue lessened to almost not existing in less than 72 hours! I also train in the gym 5 days a week which working out helps so much with energy levels naturally as well! So not everyone needs the B12 injections, of course everyones system and lifestyle are different! If you don’t think you have an absorption issue I would try the 1000mcg of B12 in the tablet form! I use Nature Made for both, they are gluten-free and work well! I also take a multi-vitamin and to date all my vitamin levels are within the normal readings or higher! Try the tablets and see what happens with your energy levels I felt the impact almost immediately and if I accidentally miss one morning I notice it the same day energy level drop slightly, but once taking them again the fatigue is gone! You can buy these Nature Made Vitamins over the counter pretty much anywhere like Publix and Walmart! Good Luck☘️

Injections were for my mom,but I had her administer it to me cause injections always work better. Back in my country while I was not having celiac I remember doctors prescribing vitamin C and B complex injections for other issues that I had. And my ferritin level was 6 and my doctor from Turkey was really surprised that my PCP didn’t order iron infusion for me. My doc appointment will be in 2 hours I’ll ask her to check all my vitamin levels and whatever is possible besides general blood work

Thank you❤️

Hello. So my blood work looks ok. Iron and ferritin got improved,B12 is 685 and overall everything looks normal. I’m just having stool issues,kind of mushy and not bulking. What would you usually eat furring the flare ups of celiac?

I eat a lot of Chicken and Rice! gluten-free and Lactose Free Plant Based Protein Shakes 3-4 times a day before breakfast, between meals and for a quick snack and just before bed! Plus a multi-viamin, 1000mcg’s of B12, a B-Complex and the plant based protein shake with 9 essential amino acids all for muscle repair, growth and energy! Works Great for me! Occasionally 1-2 times a week I eat protein from red meat!

      Hi, @Dawn R., I get gluten ataxia.  It's very disconcerting.   Are you still experiencing gluten ataxia symptoms eating a gluten free diet?  
    • knitty kitty
      @Jordan Carlson, Sorry to hear you're having a bumpy journey right now.  I've been there.  I thought I was never going to stop having rashes and dermatitis herpetiformis breakouts and hives, oh, my! I went on a low histamine Autoimmune Protocol Diet (AIP diet).  It gave my digestive system time to heal.  After I felt better, I could add things back into my diet without reactions.   In Celiac Disease, we make lots of histamine as part of the autoimmune response.  There's also histamine in certain types of food.  Lowering histamine levels will help you feel better.  Foods high in histamine are shellfish, crustaceans, fermented foods like pickles and sauerkraut, canned foods, processed meats and smoked meats like bacon and ham, and aged cheeses.  Grains and legumes can also be high in histamine, plus they contain hard to digest Lectins, so they go, too.  Cutting out corn made a big improvement.  Some Celiacs react to corn as though it were gluten.   Dairy can be problematic, so it goes.  Some Celiacs have lactose intolerance because their damaged villi cannot make Lactase, the enzyme that digests lactose, the carbohydrate in dairy, while some Celiacs react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten.  Dairy is high in iodine, which makes dermatitis herpetiformis flare up badly.  Eggs are high in Iodine, too.  I even switched to pink Himalayan salt, instead of iodized salt.  Avoid processed gluten free facsimile foods like cookies and breads because they have lots of additives that can cause high histamine, like carrageenan and corn.   Yes, it's a lot.  Basically veggies and meat and some fruit.  But the AIP Paleo diet really does help heal the intestines.  My digestive tract felt like it was on vacation!   I'd throw meat and veggies in a crock pot and had a vacation from cooking, too.  Think easy to digest, simple meals.  You would feed a sickly kitten differently than an adult cat, so baby your tummy, too! Take your vitamins!  It's difficult to absorb nutrients from our food when everything is so inflamed.  Supplementing with essential vitamins helps our absorption while healing.  Niacin B3, the kind that flushes (nicotinic acid -not the same as nicotine in cigarettes, don't worry!) REALLY helps with the dermatitis herpetiformis flares.  Niacin and Thiamine make digestive enzymes so you can digest fats.  Add in healthy Omega Three fats, olive oil, flaxseed oil, avocado oil, coconut oil.  Vitamin D helps lower inflammation and regulates the immune system.  Thiamine helps mast cells not to release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine B1, has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  Pyridoxine B6, Riboflavin B2, Vitamin C and Vitamin A help heal the digestive tract as well as the skin.  Our outside skin is continuous with our digestive tract.  When my outside skin is having breakouts and hives, I know my insides are unhappy, too.   Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing.  Blood tests are NOT accurate measurements of B vitamin deficiencies.  These tests measure what's in the bloodstream, not what is inside cells where vitamins are used.  Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals made a big difference with me.  (My blog has more of my bumpy journey.) Let me know if you have more questions.  You can get through this!

      Hey there @knitty kitty! Thanks for checking in. Things are not really going as planned for myself unfortunately. As much as I feel better than I did while eating gluten, I still seem to be reacting to trace amounts of gluten in gluten free foods. I constantly break out in rashes or hives after eating. My dermatitis is constantly flaring up. I take every precaution possible to be as gluten free as I possibly can and have simplified my diet as much as I possibly can but still cant get past this point in my recovery. If this is the case, I believe it would be considered non-responsive Celiac Disease or Refractory Celiac Disease. The only time I have ate gluten purposely in the last year was for the 3 weeks leading up to my endoscopy for diagnosis. Aside from that, the last year has been a constant disappointing effort to be gluten free with the same result of getting stuck at this point. I have a appointment with my doctor next week to discuss some treatment options and what the next steps are in trying to get my body to push past this point.   I will keep you posted!

      @GardeningForHealth, How are things going for you?   I found another topic you might be interested in... To Be or Not to Be a Pathogen: Candida albicans and Celiac Disease https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6906151/

      @Jordan Carlson, How are you doing now?  Your post slipped by, but I had to let you know you weren't alone.  I've had cravings for raw meat my whole life.  It's due to being low or deficient B vitamins, specifically Thiamine.  Meat is a great source of B vitamins.  Cooking meat destroys some of the vitamins, so a craving for raw or rare meat shows up.   Thiamine and Niacin make digestive enzymes that will help you digest fats.  Thiamine will help improve gastroparesis, anxiety, vertigo, and heart palpitations.  Niacin will help Dermatitis Herpetiformis.  I get dermatitis herpetiformis blisters on the palms of my hands, too. Really active people (especially if outdoors in hot weather) need additional Thiamine.  If a high carbohydrate diet is eaten, additional Thiamine is needed, too.  I take Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine that helps heal the digestive tract.  I also supplement magnesium because Thiamine and magnesium work together.   Hope you can update us on how you're doing.
