Fructose Malabsortion Or Celiac?

[radley]

Hello, I am self-diagnosed Celiac as I definitely feel better when gluten-free and I had all the symptoms of Celiac:

 

- Fatigue

- Muscle and joint pain

- Stomach cramps

- Anxiety

- Depression

- Malabsorbtion

- My fingers became crooked (arthritis?)

- Thyroid issues

- Diarrhea/Constipation

 

However even after going fully gluten-free I sometimes get diarrhea. It's really strange as sometimes I react and other times I do not. Symptoms come and go as they wish. I believe in New Age stuff and binaural beats really do work in curing some health issues but I should know which ones to use as listening to too many has diminishing effect.

 

However I don't want any doctor to mess with my body and I don't want to have a My Gluten blood tests always come negative. Although I am gluten-free now I get diary very often, especially when drinking lots of milk or eating too much apples for example. I felt bloated while fully gluten-free and eating apples. Could that be Fructose Malabsorption? Can it be as dangerous as Celiac, e.g. can FM cause autoimmune things or is that only Celiac? But if I have it why I do not react to smaller amounts of fruits, e.g. an apple or two a day? I also don't react to berries, I seem to have problem mostly with oranges, apples, apricots, plums,  and pears in large quantities. In small quantities I have no problem usually.

 

Sometimes I get problems with eating too many peanuts as I get an itch after going to WC (sorry about that) but I am not allergic to them. Could my problems be Gluten Intolerance + Candida? I no longer want to see any doctor as their 'treatments' made me sicker than my own treatments and therapies, so please give me some advice from your personal experience. I guess I am totally suitable for a Paleo diet with eating only berries as fruits? I am certain a vegan or vegetarian living is not for me as I lost 30 kilos on a vegan, raw food diet in just a few months, I became almost anorexic, so my body is omnivore. I've discovered that I thrive best on seafood, chicken, berries and veggies.

 

Thanks!

Gluttony will get ya every time! For what you wrote, try eating foods in moderation! I think that is just plain and simple common sense.

Keep a food journal, you may have some food intolerances, but again, if you eat too much of anything, there will be consequences!

Hope you feel better soon.

Yep, but it seems like even fruits cause me diarrhea these days. I do feel better as I am gluten-free, but it seems like I get IBS from everything except some veggies, rice, potatoes and chicken or seafood. So I guess I have to cut even dairy and most fruits. could that be a result of the Celiac damage? I guess I have to stick to a pollo-peschetarian diet with less fruits?

Anyone getting IBS/diarrhea even after being strictly gluten-free? Even bananas cause me to go to the loo in emergency yet I need them because of their nutrients.

Long time IBS sufferer here... Dairy can be a huge trigger. Also, nuts cause me to have the same issues you describe.

Apples have pectin, a soluble fiber, so it's no surprise that you do fine with them. You just have to learn your trigger foods, then avoid them.
