I was just wondering I read that applesauce is good for ibs symptoms and d which I get a lot but if it is fructose malabsorbtion should I not try it? I'm gonna go on a strict elimination diet after my bday like 5 ingredients but untill then(a week) should I stay away from it I'm super sensetive I think it might be leaky guy or ibs my doc doesant believe in those though.

Fructose malabsorption is what I was going to mention as I read your title...Applesauce never worked for me when I had D. Simple meat and veg diet...well cooked...helped me.

The brat diet helped me figure out what was wrong. (Toast was a killer!) A diet of bananas, rice and apples for a few days made me finally stop having uncontrollable d. But we're all different...

Blueberries are wonderfully good for diareahha, surprisingly.

So maybe try a brab diet. (Bananas, rice, apples, blueberries.) Then start introducing foods a day at a time. Try not to repeat proteins for a few days, mix starches and veggies up a bit and try eating foods you never had before to mix things up. (For me, it was introducing goat, lamb, venison, and more fish...I'm not real keen about red meat but forced myself to eat it because I was so sick and wanted more than anything to get better.

I kept getting new food intolerances. So I started a rotation diet based on advice from this forum. It wasn't easy, but I think it was part of what helped me get better.

i feel like any type of fruit gives me pains/gas but then again im not sure if it was the fruit or something else. I was cheating on and off in the beginning but stopped. I try to stay away from fruits. When i tried any types of berries i got serious pain and the rest of fruits gave me lots of gas/d. Still trying to figure it out. All i was is regular bowel movement and no more sypmtoms. Every day is new pain and new symptoms with d and gas/pains being at the top. Sorry to be so graphic. Is this too much to ask for *sigh*. Now here is where the depression kicks in. I don't know what i would do without this site. Doctors are worthless in my opinion.

Chrissy, I don't know if I have the answer. I understand your frustration with doctors. My mom had celiac disease and we lived miles apart from each other. I could tell when I talked on the phone with her when she'd had been having a bad bout (from being non-compliant with a gluten-free diet.) I'd fly home and start a diet of rice, mashed potatoes, cooked or raw apples, give her electrolytes, introduce meats without fats, get her on the right keel to avoid hospitalization.

For me, certain other food intolerances kicked me down. Soy, corn and dairy. Then legumes. In the meantime, dairy is ok for now. I'm trying to be civilized and not go dairy crazy. For Mom and I, apples and bluberries are good,and helped eliminate "d". That doesn't necessarly mean that they'll be ok for you, especially is you happen to have fructose intolerance.

Good luck figuring it out, wish you the best and hope you feel better.

      Sprouts packaged roasted, salted nuts - says "made in a facility that processes wheat" - has anyone had a problem?

      I never buy any nuts from a facility that processes wheat. It’s not worth the risk. Surprisingly, Trader Joe’s nuts do not come a factory that processes wheat, and I do not react to them. I am sensitive to gluten.

      Test

      If all testing is now completed you may want to let your doctor know that you are starting a gluten-free diet. If you symptoms go away on the diet it is further confirmation that you may have celiac disease, and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a...

      I’m so confused…

      As long as the B Comlex is gluten-free, it should be helpful to you, especially since you're recently diagnosed and your villi are in the recovery process. You may need to look at further supplements as well, and it's a good idea for your doctor to check levels for many nutrients to see what deficiencies you might have. The most common nutrient deficiencies...

      Weak stomach digestion after undiagnosed celiacs

      How long ago were you diagnosed? There are many symptoms and issues for those who are newly diagnosed, and recovery can take a while. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with...

      I’m so confused…

      As I mentioned before I’m pretty new to this. I’m about a month into being completely gluten-free. But I’m still having issues with fatigue, loss of appetite, and gas pain. I’ve started taking the B complex, and was hopeful, but that would help me get past especially the fatigue and the loss of appetite. But now I just read a more recent post where somebod...

If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

You may need to look at further supplements as well, and it's a good idea for your doctor to check levels for many nutrients to see what deficiencies you might have. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

I’ve started taking the B complex, and was hopeful, but that would help me get past especially the fatigue and the loss of appetite. But now I just read a more recent post where somebody is saying that the B complex is not necessarily good for us?  I was very comfortable with the B complex because our bodies shed excess B vitamins. But now I just looked it up and B vitamins can cause gas and bloating.  As I mentioned, that’s one of my biggest symptoms, and I also think it’s directly connected to my loss of appetite, which, of course is connected to my fatigue.  I’m so confused I don’t really know what to do now?
