Symptoms And Food And Stomach...

After going gluten free (recommended by doctors and my parents) for undiagnosed celiac disease, I am not feeling too much better. I am SO tired, and my stomach is reacting to gluten - free foods... Not in crazy ways, but it feels irritated, especially by vinegar and garlic and I don't even know what else. It's been about 3 weeks and I feel as though there should be SOME improvement... Even just a little? Or does it get worse first?

Any help?

Thanks!

Hey! I am going through the same thing.

It takes up to 6 months to fully feel better, 6 weeks to feel a little better.

Are you having acid or burping or anything like that? That could be the garlic.

My stomach also reacts on its own. It could be something else too.

If you are not sure if you have Celiac, I would recommend taking the test. But then again you have to go back to regular foods for six months, so I would talk to your doctor about that.

Hope I could help!

Don't worry, I think we all go through a point of time where we're still waiting to feel better. I've been gluten free for over a year and sometimes my stomach still acts up. I know it's frustrating, but you have to get worse before you can get better. Your body is trying to heal itself, just try to stay active and healthy and a change will come soon i promise!

That certainly makes ME feel better because I thought that I was lactose-intolerant or something (and I LOVE milk and ice cream)!!! :D

      How long after being diagnosed with Celiac do you feel better?

      By trents · Posted

      Thanks for sharing, Karen. Certainly a needed reminder what we already knew (and I've posted many times on this forum) but sometimes forget, namely, autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. Where one is found, you can look for others to show up eventually. The thing that is unusual in your son's case is the onset of several of them at such a young age. My sister in law, who is in her early 60's has Crohn's and struggles with constipation so I don't think that is unusual with Crohn's. If nothing else, it's the outcome of not eating much because of the pain. Now that you know what is going on with your son and the Crohn's, we hope he is beginning to improve.

      Hi there. My son is turning 16 this month. He had an endoscopy and biopsy to confirm celiac. He went gluten-free and his pain never got any better. I think it got worse. Months went by. The pain started around 7th grade. He missed a lot of school in 8th grade, and a whole lot in 9th grade. He couldn't go to school in 10th grade. All along the gastroenterologist prescribed Hyoscyamine, didn't help at all. Cyproheptadine, no less pain. Peppermint oil, ginger, Miralax, Senna. Doc said he was constipated, but I couldn't get him to have Miralax daily. Eventually he went on Linzess and no senna or Miralax. Sorry this is long, there will be a point.  We gave his school not just a doctors not...

      I think it takes different people different amounts of time, but in my own case I had pain,  bloating and loose stools for some time, exacerbated by a lactose intolerance, which eventually went.  I would say the really bad diarrhea got better quite quickly, but the bloating pain carried on for a few months, until I was told to give up lactose for a few weeks.  That helped enormously and once I realised milk and yoghurt was the cause, after a short break I went back to lactose very gradually and felt a lot better.  Now I can tolerate it well. From Coeliac UK "The enzyme lactase is found in the brush border of the small intestine. This is why people with coeliac disease can be deficient in lactase...

      Inhaler problem

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello,   The medication in these inhalers can cause a thiamine deficiency if used by someone already low in thiamine.  We don't absorb sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals due to the inflammation and damage done to our villi in Celiac Disease.  Even a long term strict gluten free diet may not provide sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals.  There are eight B vitamins that all work together.  Thiamine deficiency often shows up first because our bodies use so much of it and it can't be stored very long. Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  Without thiamine, the other B vitamins may not be able to function properly.   Thiamine is needed to clear lactic...
