Tell Me About Fruit Issues (Esp. Pears)

I totally thought my issue was and ingredient in my gluten-free breakfast muffins, but it happened again. I feel like I'm going to pass out from the abdominal pain. It could be a coincidence, but this is the second time in a row I've been in pain 1-2 hours after eating a pear. They weren't from the same grocery store. Can someone give me the short version of what problems people have with fruit? I've never really read a lot of those threads because I've never even suspected issues with it.

I can eat apples, pears, strawberries, cranberries, grapefruit, lemons, limes, and other berries with no problems. But melon? Oh my! The stomach pain is so horrible I can barely move. I'm not allergic. So I don't know what it is. Someone surmised it was sorbitol. I don't do well with that.

I didn't realize it was naturally occurring. I cut out gum a while back because I thought I was getting too much extra junk, including sweeteners.

I just searched and found this because I have been getting much worse the last month instead of that slow steady improvement I have been experiencing over the last 18 months. Horrible symptoms and I was getting that never ending hunger as well as various manifestations of D. Sunday night, after watching some videos on the new Dr. Osborne site I decided to cut out all fruit for a few days. I figured it would be terrible since it has been so much of my caloric intake. I am now into the second day of virtually no gas, bloating, D. Didn't realize how much my vision was being affected as well. Just in time as I have a trip to go on for the next several days. Nothing but meat and veggies for the trip, I guess. Oh, I am now satisfied and full after eating.. in fact, I can hardly make it through a full plate of food. Three days ago, when I would finish, I would head back in to the kitchen and graze on everything for a post meal meal that would leave me even hungrier that before the meal. I suppose I will try to reintroduce a fruit or two after a month or so to see if maybe it was an issue with one particular type or not. I know I have said nothing about pears but that's that FWIW.

Try googling Fructose Malabsorption.

      Interpreting results.

      By np1209 · Posted

      Hi! thanks for the quick feedback! I tested negative for DQ8, but did test positive for DQ2 and DQ7. I’m not sure if there’s any information regarding DQ7 and the risk for celiac. I have included the reference ranges for the other labs below. It does not appear that my total IGA was tested. Thanks again.    CELIAC DISEASE PANEL GLIADIN AB, DEAMID. IgG: 7 INTERPRETIVE INFORMATION: <15 U/ML NEGATIVE >=15 U/ML POSITIVE  TTG IgA: <1 INTERPRETIVE INFORMATION <15 U/ML: NEGATIVE >=15 U/ML: POSITIVE  TTG IgG: <1 INTERPRETIVE INFORMATION <15 U/ML: NEGATIVE >=15 U/ML: POSITIVE  GLIADIN AB, DEAMID. IgA: 1 INTERPRETIVE INFORMATION <15 U/ML: NEGATIVE >=15 U/ML: POSITIVE

      Welcome to the forum, @np1209! Your understanding of the gene testing results is correct. DQ2 and DQ8 are the primary genes associated with the potential to develop celiac disease. My understanding is also that DQ2 alone represents stronger potential than DQ8 alone. But we need more information with regard to your antibody test results. You need to include not only the raw test scores but the reference ranges. There are no industry standards for reference ranges yet as each lab develops the tests a little differently. Another question I have is are the results you posted above reflective of all antibody tests that were ordered? I don't see a listing for "total IGA" which should always be included so as to check for IGA deficiency. IGA deficiency can result in false negatives on individual IGA antibody tests. You won't be able to edit your first post so please repost the info with additions.

      Hello! I’m in the process of testing and wanted to see if anyone could help me interpret my results or recommend further testing. It appears my genetic test was positive for DQ2 and DQ7. All other testing was negative and I have been consuming gluten in decent amounts.  I’m interpreting this as being at risk, but likely not positive for a celiac diagnosis? Would love to hear anyone’s insight. Thanks! GLIADIN AB, DEAMID. IgG: 7 TTG IgA: <1 TTG IgG: <1 GLIADIN AB, DEAMID. IgA: 1   hla-dqa1: 05, 05 hla-dqb1: 02:01, 03:01 serologic equivalent: DQ2, DQ7 interpretation: Out of Range Moderate Risk: Genotype present: HLA-DQ2 (DQA1*05+, DQB1*02+). HLA-DQ2 is associated with genetic susceptibility for celiac disease.
