Just Wondering

was just wondering, does anyone else have food go right through them without being digested. If I eat grapefruit, oranges, salad, or onions or rice, about 1 to 3 hours it is going right through me and it looks the same in the toilet as it did before I eat it.

The doc says I am not making enzymes like I should.

Does this mean that my pancreas is not working? Could it mean that celiac has ruined my my pancreas?

Will find out what my test shows on tuesday. But afraid it will show up as negative.

have started the gluten free diet on thurday but not feeling better yet. :(

I get this sometimes, especially with corn sometimes carrots too. Do you get diarrhea too? Cramping? I think I have leaky gut and I'm just going to start taking L-glutamine. My doc told me to take probiotics and also digestive enzymes as well but I am so terrible in remembering. I've been gluten-free/DF for 9 months. Just realized within last month that I'm also reacting to soy.

Good luck!

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By ABP2025 · Posted

      Thank you so much Scott. I read your article and it was very informative. I'll find a GI doctor to review the results and get an endoscopy to confirm celiac disease. Based on my results, could it still be NCGS?

      Eye irritation 2.5 months into gluten free diet

      @aperlo34, Those symptoms sound awfully familiar to me.  Here's what I did for mine... I got my Vitamin D up quickly by taking Vitamin D3 supplements several times throughout the day.  High dose Vitamin D supplementation is safe and effective in raising deficient Vitamin D levels.  Aim to get your level up around 80.  Our bodies work better with Vitamin D at this level.  Vitamin D will help with mood, achy joints and depression.  Vitamin A and Vitamin D will help heal eyes and intestines. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39125420/ I was prescribed anti anxiety meds, SSRIs.  They were a bad idea because SSRIs cause further intestinal damage.  I had such awful side effects, I had to quit taking them.     Instead, I took Tryptophan supplements.  Tryptophan is needed to make serotonin, the feel good neurotransmitter.  Without enough serotonin, we feel anxious.  Tryptophan is important for intestinal health and our intestinal bacteria.  We get tryptophan (and Niacin) from our diet.  Our body can make tryptophan from Niacin Vitamin B 3.  In celiac disease, we may not be absorbing sufficient amounts of Niacin and the other water soluble B vitamins.  I took my B Complex twice a day with meals.  I took a Tryptophan supplement at bedtime.  I found adding a Lysine supplement helpful in reducing anxiety.  Lysine is an amino acid found in lots of foods like meats.  Lysine helps with intestinal health and improves serotonin use in the body.  Serotonin, besides improving mood, also stimulates tear production!!!  Influence of Tryptophan and Serotonin on Mood and Cognition with a Possible Role of the Gut-Brain Axis https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4728667/ And... Serotonin hormonally regulates lacrimal gland secretory function via the serotonin type 3a receptor https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5537296/ And... l-Lysine acts like a partial serotonin receptor 4 antagonist and inhibits serotonin-mediated intestinal pathologies and anxiety in rats https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC307574/ I also take Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamin Vitamin B 1, shown to promote healing in the gastrointestinal tract.  Supplementing with Benfotiamine improves anxiety and helps heal the intestines and improves brain function.  Benfotiamine needs magnesium to work properly, so I take Magnesium Threonate, a form of magnesium which gets into the brain easily and helps immensely with anxiety and thinking.  Niacin and thiamine with riboflavin and pyridoxine are used to make enzymes and energy for all healing we're going through. Magnesium and calcium can be pulled out of our bones to keep our blood levels stable.  Containing both of these minerals, broccoli and leafy greens, like kale and collards, are great for the Celiac diet. Hope this helps!   Happy Holidays!

      B-Complex B-12 1000mg (methyl sublingual) CoQ10 100mg D 3000iu  Centrum Men's Multivitamin Magnesium 400mg Omega 3 2000mg My latest labs were: D - 43.6 (range 30-100) B12 - 406 (range 232-1245) Folate - 11.4 (range >3.0) ferritin - 117 (30-400) magnesium - 2.3 (1.6-2.3) Calcium - 9.9 (8.7-10.2) My symptoms are currently - these all come and go except the dry eyes have been for a couple of months now: Joint aching (mostly knuckles), muscle twitches, now apparently dry eyes.  I'm considering looking into anxiety medication, the past 4 months have been horrible for me. I can't tell what is a real symptom anymore and what is just my mind.

      Yeah, I think that’s what’s going on. I’ve been following my eye dr’s recommended routine of eye drops and heating mask and today I feel much better. I’m also trying to cut out dairy for a month to see if maybe there’s something there. I would love for the eye problems to go away, it’s scaring me - the celiac felt like it was out of nowhere 😓   also on all sorts of supplements now…
