What Would The Specific Carbohydrate Diet, And Eliminating Dairy Really Do?

Recommended Posts

i mean you need that stuff mostly! including milk. i drink it and i don't get that tired, almost morphine feeling like i get with anything with wheat. and i don't get addicted. no stomach aches, no brain fog (mostly because im in a perpetual state of brain fog) no diahrea. (lol can't spell it right) and that carbohydrate thing makes sense but kinda of gets in the way of A) my gluten free diet and B) me being a hungry 19 year old.

im just, you know pointing out what i think is too many options.

If you feel fine with what your eating, don't worry about trying some other diet. Take the time to adapt to the gluten-free diet. If you've done that for a while, and don't feel well, then you can consider eliminating other foods.

It's a funny question to ask us, if you really are sure you have no issues with anything other than gluten...

what did you mean by being in a perpetual state of brain fog? do you mean even when you are not eating gluten? If you are, it might be that the diet needs to have a little more time to heal you, or that there might be other things making you feel that way. My advice is to continue with the gluten free diet a little longer and see how you feel. If you have already been on it for a while and suspect that something else is going on, then I would recommend looking into the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. I don't know how much you have actually read so far, but if milk is causing you digestive and absorption problems, then you'll find that it's doing you more harm than good to continue consuming it. I know it's difficult when you are among friends who can eat whatever they like, but if you consider the consequences that you'll face afterward ... it doesn't always seem worth it to be one of the crowd.

I agree. If you feel fine with milk and gluten seems your only problem. Stick with it!

      @LizzieF, if you will be seeking repeat blood antibody testing after undergoing a more rigorous gluten challenge, make sure your physician orders the "total IGA" test to check for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, all other IGA test scores will be artificially low and this can result in false negatives. Can you list the blood antibody tests that were already done, the scores along with the reference ranges?

      @LizzieF, The anemia which can be caused by low iron can impede antibody production.   NCGS can be a precursor of Celiac Disease, especially in those who already carry Celiac genes.   Celiac is the only disease where you have to self harm to get a diagnosis.   Do talk to your doctor about the updated gluten challenge requirements and a repeat endoscopy.

      Welcome to the forum, @LizzieF! Yes, I also question whether or not your exposure to gluten before either the endoscopy/biopsy or the antibody testing was long enough or intense enough to render valid test results. Guidelines for the "gluten challenge" have recently been revised to recommend more intense exposure: at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) daily for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw or the procedure. But frankly, I would certainly give it twice that long to be sure. It is also very possible you are dealing with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) instead of celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms but...

      Chris, has your husband had a recent checkup with detailed bloodwork (CBC and CMP)? Has he been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies?

      Hi everyone - I have been gluten free for 2+ years after doing some genetic testing that showed inability to process gluten and carrying a gene for celiac (I’ve had GI related issues for 20+ years that were diagnosed as IBS/lactose intolerance). After persistent low iron, new GI suggested we look at celiac. Endoscopy results noted the below. I have to add that I added gluten for about 12 days prior to my test (and was miserable in the process). “The differential diagnosis includes celiac disease, but the degree of intraepithelial lymphocytes does not reach the threshold for Marsh 1 lesion.” Chrons/Colitis negative. GI suggested I continue eating gluten (after a 3 day pause awaiting...
