After a month of miscommunication between the GI's nurse and my insurance company, I finally have the results from my colonoscopy and it's microscopic/lymphocytic colitis that's behind my never ceasing D. I've started the Entocort and am already seeing improvement - I had a gluten-free chocolate cookie to celebrate :D

 

Thank you everyone who helped convince me to keep going, especially IrishHeart in particular who gave me the no-nonsense encouragement to get it figured out.

 

I hope this is the answer - I've heard that the symptoms can just come back after stopping the meds, but I will remain hopeful. I have two months to try it out - I might actually be able to enjoy my upcoming beach vacation.

 

Thank you again - I <3 you all. Fingers crossed!

Well, pass me a cookie and give me a big hug! whoohoooo!

 

Since my friend Sherry also suffered from  microscopic/lymphocytic colitis in addition to celiac, I knew it had to be something like this 

because you were being so careful and it's not always "about the gluten". D does not happen without cause.

 

It just made no sense to me.......and I am so, so happy that you got an answer and a resolution!!

 

Hang in there and enjoy your vacation!!! xxoo IH

 

send me a postcard ^_^

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      I am 65 years old. I started having allergies to certain foods when I got the covid. I started feeling sick from food intake. I got tested with a blood test, and the first thing I was told was to stop eating red meat. Why is that? I'm eating turkey or chicken and get beloted no matter which I eat daily. I stay away from bread and am trying to eat fresh...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I have found that in addition to gluten, I am sensitive to inulin/chicory root fiber. I wondered why I had gastrointestinal symptoms after drinking a Chobani yogurt drink - much like being glutened. Happened at least twice before I figured out that it was that chicory root fiber additive. I do not react to ordinary dairy, yogurt, etc. For the holidays...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      It's great to hear that your gluten-free journey has been going well overall, and it's smart to be a detective when a reaction occurs. Distinguishing between a gluten cross-contamination issue and a reaction to high fiber can be tricky, as symptoms can sometimes overlap. The sudden, intense, food poisoning-like hour you experienced does sound more consistent...

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      This explains a lot. I had a severe leg injury when I was younger. I've had several surgeries. I was super careful, but always got cellulitis. Interesting article. Even when I was gluten free and had surgery, I still got cellulitis.

I wondered why I had gastrointestinal symptoms after drinking a Chobani yogurt drink - much like being glutened. Happened at least twice before I figured out that it was that chicory root fiber additive. I do not react to ordinary dairy, yogurt, etc.  For the holidays, I will only be baking gluten-free treats. I got rid of all gluten-containing flours, mixes and pastas in my kitchen. Much easier to avoid cross-contamination that way!

      It's great to hear that your gluten-free journey has been going well overall, and it's smart to be a detective when a reaction occurs. Distinguishing between a gluten cross-contamination issue and a reaction to high fiber can be tricky, as symptoms can sometimes overlap. The sudden, intense, food poisoning-like hour you experienced does sound more consistent with a specific intolerance or contamination, as a high-fiber reaction typically involves more digestive discomfort like bloating or gas that lasts longer. Since the protein bar was the only new variable, it’s a strong suspect; it's worth checking if it contains ingredients like sugar alcohols (e.g., maltitol, sorbitol) or certain fibers (inulin/chicory root) that are notorious for causing acute digestive upset, even in gluten-free products. For your holiday baking, your plan is solid: bake the gluten-free items first, use entirely separate utensils and pans (not just washed), and consider color-coding tools to avoid mix-ups. Additionally, store your gluten-free flours and ingredients well away from any airborne wheat flour, which can stay in the air for hours and settle on surfaces. Keep listening to your body and introducing new packaged foods one at a time—it’s the best way to navigate and pinpoint triggers on your journey.
