Problems Eating Things On Celiac Diet

I have been gluten free for almost a year.  But 4 months ago I started having problems eating raw veggies, night shades and dairy.

Now after going on an elimination diet and starting to add things back in I cannot eat most nuts, soy, eggs or gluten free flours.  I am finding it hard to find things to eat.

I have trouble with most fruits.  We did another biopsy to see how the intestines were healing.  They seem to be doing much better.  But I am finding it hard to eat.  the pain is intense when I eat.  I get migraines when I eat potatoes.  The nutritionist is not sure how to proceed.  The diet she put me on caused muscle loss and fast weight loss.  I was not able to function my body was to tired and could not even walk up stairs. 

my doc cannot find anything wrong with me.

I switched most things in my diet because of similar problems with foods I had been eating.  If you look at the store you can likely find new to you vegetables and meats.  Shocking things began to happen with my body after doing that!  Fennel (for example) is a vegetable that one can find in the produce section.  It rather looks like an onion but has a feathery plume on top.  Tradition says that it is good for digestion.  All I know is that it is a great pick me up for energy.  You might try that.  How about Jicama (I hash brown fry it).

Try increasing your fats (avocado, olive oil, coconut oil, meat and fish fats, etc.) for added calories.

I do use a lot of olive oil an I try to eat an avocado at least once a week.  lol I am not much of an avocado eater.  but right now I am eating things I don't like to get the calorie intake.

thank you.

I add a blob of refined (no taste) coconut oil to my coffee for extra calories.

I second the coconut oil. After cutting out dairy, soy, legumes in addition to gluten I had a hard time getting in enough calories. I'm still struggling with this to a degree. I find it hard to get enough with just meat, fruit and veg. Adding in some good fats has helped as they are very calorie dense. I've added the coconut oil to coffee and soup...I saute veggies in it and put a blob on my sweet potato.

has anyone ever figured out why this is happening?  Not all celiac's have this issue.

I wish I knew. I was diagnosed in January...things went pretty well the first 3 months and then not so much. I would love to have more variety. I miss dairy way more than gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.
