14Month Update! Repeat Biopsy Results

Diagnosed 14 months ago Marsh 3b, scalloped duodenum, hiatus hernia.

Subsequent intolerances to MANY foods.

Severe anaemia, low vit d, major hairloss, severe adrenal fatigue, melasma, night sweats, neuropathy, depression, etc!

Repeat biopsy shows 'essentially NORMAL '

Not sure what they mean by essentially but normal sounds good to me.

I came back on to share this, for those of you out there that worry, fret, get anxious, cry, wonder when it's going to get better... It does happen. I was/am one of those that did all that worrying. I still have a way to go in regaining my former self. If indeed I ever will!! But... Healing DOES happen, it's happening for me on a diet that's severely restricted!

Keep at it! :-) x

Aw thanks guys. I'm still not where I need to be, but I just thought sometimes it's nice to hear some success. I know when I was diagnosed I looked for any possible success threads! We are all or have been looking for hope that things get better. I just wanted to share, to show that slowly but surely it can be done. It took a lot of green juices and food restrictions! I'm hoping in another year I might even grow some hair back!! Lol. That'd be nice! X

Congrats!!

 

and yes, just hang in there...I saw more results in symptom resolution (plus more hair regrowth) after 20 months.

 

Best wishes and stay the course.

That's wonderful! Great job sticking to the restricted diet, I know that it isn't easy. I'm vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free, and mostly sugar free.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.
