Has anyone tried this type of diet in addition to the gluten-free diet. I have been gluten free in July 18th 2003. Another recent biopsy reveled that my villi are still flat. I am waiting for the FULL results next week. I am still iron deficient anemic and I have to get iron infusions every 4 months. Do most people's villi grow back normal after 6 months? One year? When? Also, I recently limited my dairy to one serving per day. I only eat one to two servings of either chicken, egg whites, or fish per week. The rest of my diet consists of soy, rice, vegtables, fruit, nuts, beans, and lentils. I am looking for ANYTHING to try to get my malaborptions issues resolved. The other tests (Fecal fat and Zylose; now the gold standards for if you ARE or ARE not absorbing) showed that I am not absorbing. Let me know if you have any ideas?

At the moment I'm on a blood type diet but I'm also following the guidlines of the SC diet. The one banned food on the SC diet I eat is

brown rice. If I could find a way to sub out the rice for somthing else I would but it's really hard for me to keep on weight without the rice. It's about 50% of my daily cal and I have so many "issues" with fruits, nuts, dariy and veggies I run out of things to eat.

Just to let you know I have Crohns and Celiac Disease and eating like this seems to help. I still have bad days for no apparent reason but overall I feel better.

I've heard it can take up to 2 years for our insides to heal.

Take Care

      What should I expect from a UK restaurant advertising / offering "Gluten Free" food

      Hi Colin I share your frustration. My coeliac disease was diagnosed in 2013 and it took some years for my  TTG levels to settle to normal levels in  blood tests.  I had to make a few significant changes at home to make sure our house was as gluten free as possible (I share a house with gluten eaters) but time and time again I found I was glutened (or nearly glutened whilst eating out  - like regular bread being served with a gluten-free meal ).  Even eating in chains that Coeliac UK were recommending as safe for coeliacs.  So I gave up eating in restaurants for a while.  My blood tests normalised.  But here's the thing:  the lowest my TTG readings ever got to were 4.5 (10  and under being my local lab's normal levels) and now that I am eating out again more regularly, they've gone up to 10 again.  I am quite convinced this gluten is coming from exposure whilst eating out.  Small levels, that don't make me violently sick, but might give me a mild stomach upset.  My next coeliac blood review is in September and I mean to give up eating out a few months before to see if that helps my blood results get back on track. It seems to me that there are few restaurants which really 'get it' - and a lot of restaurants that don't 'get it' at all.  I've found one restaurant in Somerset and a hotel in East Sussex where they really know what they are doing.    The restaurant in Somerset hardly uses flour in any of their dishes; the hotel in East Sussex takes in trainees from the local college, so they are teaching best standards.   But it has taken a lot of searching and trial and effort on my part to find these two places.  There are certainly others in the UK, but it seems to me the only real way to find them is trial and error, or perhaps from the personal recommendation of other strict coeliacs (Incidentally, my coeliac hairdresser tells me that if a Michelin star restaurant has to have a separate food preparation so she has never been glutened in one - I can't say I've ever eaten in one!) For the rest, I think we just have to accept that gluten may be in the air in kitchens, if not on the surfaces, and there will always be some level of risk wherever one dines, unless the restaurant cooks exclusively gluten free dishes.

      Hopefully @cristiana will see this question, as she also lives in the UK.

      @Theresa2407, My Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFD), now called Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), cleared up, resolved, after supplementing with Thiamine B1 and Riboflavin B2.  "Specifically, higher intakes of vitamin B1 and vitamin B2 were negatively associated with the risk of NAFLD. Consequently, providing adequate levels of Vitamin B1 and Vitamin B2 in the daily diets of postmenopausal women could potentially serve as a preventive measure against NAFLD." Association between dietary intakes of B vitamins and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in postmenopausal women: a cross-sectional study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10621796/ High-dose vitamin B1 therapy prevents the development of experimental fatty liver driven by overnutrition https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7988776/
