Intollerances As A Result Of Going Undiagnosed


missmysz

Hello, 

I am newly diagnosed with celiac, i am 22 years old. I had been to the doctor over and over for a year developing more and more sensitivities. I have now had the biopsy and after coming on here and reading other peoples stories think that my issues with fructose, dairy including whey, sorbitol and corn may be caused by the damage done to my SI. 

 

I am hoping that if i follow a gluten-free diet that my other intolerances will go away as my gut heals. Has this been the case for anyone? I am intolerant to so many things! its impossible to feel normal without staying ridiculously strict i even react to low fructose vegetables. 

 

Please someone say this goes away if i stay gluten-free?

 

Thank you for your time.

It will take time (months.... years?), but it is entirely possible for them to go away.

Granted, My daughter was only 10 when diagnosed, but she had intolerances to whey, casein and soy.  She was gluten-free, DF and SF for a while.  She is now back on soy and dairy.  Test showed she is still somewhat lactose intolerant still but we expect that to clear up soon.

My chiropractor and her family were able to overcome other intolerances after going gluten free.  She is hoping that I will recover and be able to have things back too.  I would like spicy foods back!  I would like some dairy back.  I am happy with what I eat now.

I'm having a similar issue. It seems like the more foods I eliminate, the more sensitive I become. I have a problem with gluten, grains, carbohydrates, dairy, eggs, legumes (including soy and peanuts), and refined sugars. According to what I've read, a lot of my intolerances come from the fact that I'm insulin resistent from years of untreated Celiac (possibly since I was born).

 i didnt know celiac can lead to insulin resistance- this all seems scarier and scarier the more that i read about it :( and so many of the random complaints over the years are on lists of symptoms- guess great to know now.

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
