I don't know if i am in the right area to ask about this but i was wondering if any of you have trouble drinking water. Before all of this started happening, i would get thirsty and was a normal water drinker. Now, i have to force myself to drink water because i am very rarely thirsty, I actually forget to drink water sometimes. And by the way, i have never been a soda, juice, or milk drinker, just water and coffee, and i only have coffee in the morning.Hope someone out there has some info, i think this is really weird. Thanks

Making sure your hydrated is just something you have to do regardless if your thirsty or not.  Really can't see how being "not thirsty" is a problem.  I wouldn't give it a second thought unless you are having a myriad of symptoms that make you suspect something is wrong.

 

Good Luck.

I just think it isn't normal to go a whole day and not want to drink any water.I never had to force myself to drink a glass of water before, i always wanted to naturally.

a wise woman once told me:  once you don't lose so much water through D, you don't need as much. 

 

you also get water in foods that your body is now digesting better :)  i am not thirsty very much.  if i am, i get something to drink - i figure trust my body.  if it needs extra fluids, it's gonna let me know.

I don't drink water thru out the day either. I do think it has to do with not having D I drink tea in the Am, I don't dring water thru out the day, sometimes at night I will make myself some lemon aide , not because I am thirsty , because I like it!!

The best way to know if you get enough liquid is to look at your pee.  Pee should be very light yellow.  If not, drink some more water during the day.

Also you can put your hand on a flat surface pull the skin on top your hand up gently like a lil pinch of skin , pull it up gently and let go , if it stays up , you may be dehydrated if it goes down fast your fine :)  I actually just did that to mine and mine is staying up a bit! I may have to make myself some lemonade :)

I hope your body will learn to ask when it needs it.  I got checked for diabetes more than once because of my "extreme thirst."  I guess when a body is messed up, it can mess up any which way?  My thirst level has become more regular since gluten free is working for me.  I hope yours will too.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      nothing has changed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:
