Dh Feeling A Lot Better On gluten-free But Still Problems, Lactose?


Pabboo

So, my husband was diagnosed at 11yrs old with coeliac but back in the day his mother was told that once he was symptom free he would have "grown out of it". He was gluten-free for 3 years and then gradually symptoms developed until he had dermatitis hepatformus (same condition he had at 11) and he realised he still had coeliac :blink:

He has been gluten-free for a month or so now and his depression has lifted, anxiety lower, bloating gone, energy up, bowel movements daily (he didn't know that was normal) etc etc

But he still gets occasional bloating and loose stools and feels uncomfy and bloated - but with no clear gluten related cause.

Could he be reacting to lactose and should he cut it out for a while to give his gut time to fully repair? If so how long?

Thanks

Boo

It would be helpful to keep a food/symptom journal. That can point out if it is a problem with lactose, another food intolerance, or cc of one or more of his foods.

      As I mentioned, gluten intolerance encompasses more than just those with celiac disease, and in the past was used more like the term "gluten sensitivity" is used today.

      By the way, have you been diagnosed with celiac disease, and if so, are you on a 100% gluten-free diet?

      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!

      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.

      @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.
