Shouldn't I Be Feeling Better

I was diagnosed with gluten sensitive enteropathy last month. I have been gluten free for almost two months. For the last few days,I have kept a food diary. If I eat food with fried foods, I have loose stools the next day with oil floating in the bowl. (Sorry, this is so embarrassing.) Why is this happening?

Are you frying these foods yourself or are you eating them in a resturant?

It could be the oil or the coating you are using. They might be cross contaminated with gluten or you might have another sensitivity. The first thing that comes to my mind is soy. Does your oil have soy (soybean oil) in it? You might want to cut one or both to see if the reactions stop.

Thank you for your input. I've been using coconut oil lately for it's antimicrobial properties. I've been using it for about three months now. It has not bothered me in the past and that's why I don't get what is happening now. Completely stumped. Can the gluten free diet alter thhe body's response to other foods?

Have you have your gallbladder function checked? People without gallbladders or non-functioning gallbladders have trouble digesting fatty foods. If you were undiagnosed for a long time the gluten may have over-taxed your gallbladder. I had my gallbladder removed right around the time my health started to decline. I suspect it might have been the start of my gluten issues instead of my gallbladder.

Also if you are using something like a fry-daddy or old cast iron pans you used prior to going gluten free, these items may have traces of gluten still that are cc'ing your gluten free food.

Done some investigating. The extra virgin olive oil that I use to season my cast iron pan has soy in it. Does soy have gluten in it?

My pans are new. I threw away all my old wooden spoons, measuring cups, flour containers etc. Started fresh. Read about that in other posts. You all were a great help there.

Thought about the gall bladder thing. Trying to ignore it. Don't want surgery. It does make sense though.

Soy is gluten-free, but you could have a sensitivity to soy as well. Are you using a cooking spray?

Personally, I would stop eating fried food (even if gluten free) for a while until you've had time to heal. Your system is still most likely very sensitive. Eat as simply as possible until you get a better handle on things.

i would agree your gall bladder could be having issues.. maybe you should get that checked with your doctor. also- i sometimes use a product called Gold Coin Grass.. i can only find it at: www.sensiblehealth.com in Canada- it's a Chinese tincture that helps to soften & dissolve gall stones, plus it helps the stomach to create digestive juices.

OR, your Small Intestine may not be healed yet. make sure you are 100% gluten free... consider maybe going Dairy free till your BMs are normal.... things like L-Glutamine powder mixed with water, & GHEE can help your Small Intestine heal faster.

imho- your BMs are a result of you not digesting the fat... a fat malabsorption- either your gall bladder or your gut is not healed yet... i had BMs like that couple of years ago

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!

      Abscesses on legs

      By plumbago · Posted

      Ok, thanks. I'm so glad to hear you are in the hands of a dermatologist. I hope he/she has given you 1) a diagnosis; and 2) a plan of care with a couple of options so that you have buy-in and comfort with it. I have some ideas, but not having seen the abscesses or you in person, it doesn't really make sense for me to kind of ... speculate further. But your question was regarding gluten, and you've gotten a couple of other follow up questions and answers that are good, including the idea to keep a food diary. Let us know if we can help further or answer any other questions. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds very painful.

      Abscesses on legs

      By LookingForAnswers101 · Posted

      @plumbago They appear as boils. They are big, like the size of a nickel--quarter, and they hurt when I touch them. I have gone to the same derm for them over and over and she thinks my body is colonized by a bacteria, but even after using hibiclens all over my body they come back.

      Abscesses on legs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the gluten-free community! It’s great to have you here. While gluten sensitivity or celiac disease can indeed cause skin issues, such as dermatitis herpetiformis (a blistering rash), abscesses in areas like the lower buttocks or thighs are less commonly linked directly to gluten. However, chronic abscesses could be a sign of an underlying immune or inflammatory condition, which might be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. Some people with gluten-related disorders also experience secondary issues like bacterial overgrowth or immune dysregulation, which could potentially contribute to recurrent infections. It’s always a good idea to explore all possible causes, including gluten sensitivity, with your doctor. In the meantime, keeping a food and symptom diary might help identify any patterns. Wishing you the best on your health journey!

      You say you have gluten sensitivity? Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or do you refer to NCGS?
