Could It Be Something Else Too?

I have been gluten and dairy free (for the most part) for almost ten months now. And I am 19 so I should have healed up pretty quickly. But I notice I am still having issues with fats. I do not seem to be properly absorbing them, still. And I tend to get bloated with their consumption.

Did it take anyone else this long to have no issues with fats?

Or should I consider another disorder in addition with the gluten intolerance, maybe small bowel bacterial overgrowth?

I can't remember, Gfresh, are you taking digestive enzymes. If not, I would suggest you do, if you are, I am "fresh" out of ideas. :o I am 12 months farther along than you and at your stage I was still using the enzymes; in fact only gave them up about five months ago.

Hahah good one..

I've been on and off them. I'm on them right now, but my only issue with taking them is that sometimes food seems to digest too quickly (mainly carbs + fiber) and it tends to irritate my small intestine. Right now I am taking Pancreatin x 8 by Source Naturals.

What ones did you take?

I think I really only need pure lipase. I was wondering if a doctor would be able to prescribe that.

I think I would go to a naturopathic doctor for this. I find their assortment of supplements, although a bit pricier, has a much wider range of combination/solo ingredients. I took the full complement because stool tests showed I was not producing enough. The main one I took was by Integrative Therapeutics, called NutriVitamin Enzyme Complex.

      Christmas Presents for Celiac Loved Ones

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @warren031945! Use the search tool in the upper right corner of this forum page to find articles addressing your needs. I know there have been articles done on celiac.com dealing with the question of gluten-free cheeses and candies. Whether or not you could find something already put together in one place that is gluten free is another question, however.

      Daughter waiting for appointment

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Given that she had a weak positive tTg-IgA blood test for celiac disease, and she gets symptom relief from a gluten-free diet, she could be in a pre-celiac disease stage, and might develop full blown celiac disease (villi damage) if she continues to eat gluten. At this point, even though her biopsy is negative, she may want to stay gluten-free. As @trents mentioned, she likely has NCGS.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. Have you had symptom improvement on a gluten-free diet? If so, you may be in the NCGS area. Also, are you eating oats, and have you tried cutting out dairy/casein?
