After a year of gluten-free and two weeks of eating gluten for a dh biopsy, I'm back to square one with the symptoms. Am I going to have to wait another year to feel better? Am I eating too much fiber?

Ack... :blink:

I will cook all veggies. I will do something...better...?

No, your body will heal a little faster this time. You're not all the way back to square one. I don't quite understand why you had to reintroduce gluten - it's poison to our bodies. Anyhow, You might try L-glutamine - it promotes intestinal health - it makes my accidental glutenings a little easier to bear physically.

Still can't find anything that eliminates the dreaded brain fog.

I don't understand why you're having to do a gluten challenge either. Our GI said there is no point in doing that anymore - really quite sadistic IMO. He said doctors used to do that but don't anymore and that if going gluten free helped, there's nothing more to prove or do.

Sorry you're going through this. How long do you have do undergo this hell?

I am gluten free again...I had the biopsy last week. I was originally dx'd with wheat allergy and my bloodwork came back negative, probably because I hadn't been eating much gluten at all for about 8 years. Any doubt that I had previously about staying away from all gluten has been removed and it was my own stupidity that told me to eat gluten for a while. But hey, I'm that much smarter now! :rollseyes:

Thanks, Annette and Mart, good to know that I might be back on track soon, and if not, I'll definitely check out the L-glutamine.

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.

      Thank you so much! I will look for that.

      @llisa, back then when you tried magnesium and it upset your tummy, I'm guessing you were using the most common form of magnesium found on store shelves, namely, magnesium oxide. It has a reputation for having a laxative effect. It is not very well absorbed and so draws a lot of water into the colon, just like the laxative known as milk of magnesia. I'm guessing if you would switch to the "glycinate" form of magnesium you would not have this problem. Magnesium glycinate is absorbed much better. If you can't find magnesium glycinate at your local stores, you can order gluten free brands of it off of Amazon.

      I've tried magnesium before. Twice in 2 years. It really upset my stomach. And that was before this celiac disease diagnosis. (Finally, after 2 years of trying to find out what was wrong with me.) I have no idea how sensitive I am. When my stomach was upset, I'd go to my comfort foods: cream of wheat, cheese and crackers, scrambled eggs and toast...so, making myself worse by trying to feel better.  Just got results of biopsy yesterday, so today is first day of trying no gluten and reading that it can be hiding in vitamins and meds. So, I welcome ALL advice and personal experiences. No advice is too basic. I know nothing. Thank you!

      Have you considered also supplementing with magnesium and zinc? We usually recommend these two as well. D3, Calcium and Magnesium all important for bone and nerve health.
