Gluten Detox Period

Hi all, I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy two days ago and an ultrasound of my liver today. I have a week to go until I get my results to see if I have celiac disease or just gluten sensitivity. The gastroenterologist said my liver and small intestine are inflamed. Did anyone else have inflammation from celiac disease or gluten sensitivity? I have now stopped all gluten and I feel full in my rib cage area and back. Is this normal? My stomach issues seem much better but the fullness is new. Worried! Help! Thanks everyone.

Yes. Celiac disease is all about inflammation. I was diagnosed with diverticulitis multiple times, because of inflammation in my intestines. Then my doctor told me that celiac can mimic diverticulitis. It can evidently take many forms and cause many problems. I can't speak to the fullness you describe, but the inflammation can absolutely be a celiac thing. Good luck!

Yes, inflammtion goes hand in hand with untreated celiac disease.  It can wreak havoc with your other organs like your liver, pancreas, gall bladder, skin, and even your brain.  Bloating is also a common symptom and can make you feel very large and full.

 

Have you had blood tests done too?  It is often a good idea to have that done before going gluten-free.

Thank you for the responses. Yes I had the blood test done but it came back negative. I had been eating healthy for about a week by cutting carbs hoping it would help my stomach when the celiac idea came up. So I don't know if I have a false negative or not. The doctor did four biopsies so I'm waiting for those results hoping for answers. I have been gluten free for almost two weeks and my stomach issues are much better but my liver area feels way more sensitive than before. I'm hoping its just because of a detox period. Not sure? I tried to find if this was normal for the liver to almost seem worse, but I'm not sure.

Some people go through a withdrawal period in the first few weeks after going gluten-free.  Some symptoms get worse (for me it was headaches, fatigue, moodiness) even as some slowly improve.  And recovery is a slow process with many ups and downs that lasts for many months.  Most celiacs are still making autoantibodies after being gluten-free a few months, that means damage is still being done even though you are gluten-free.  Give it more time and hopefully things will improve over the next couple of months.

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      I strongly agree with others about processed gluten free foods, like breads and pasta, being bad for us. Read the labels, full of this starch and that starch, seed oils that are inflammatory, etc. Before you were celiac, you probably wouldn't even touch something with those ingredients. I do much better with whole foods, meat, veggies, a little fruit. I made 90% myself, make extra and freeze it for future meals. Cutting out processed gluten free food and eating mostly real whoke food helped me feel much better. And definitely benfotiamine!

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please be sure to try Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride.  The form Thiamine Mononitrate is not absorbed nor utilized well.  Benfotiamine is much more bioavailable.  Perhaps Thiamine Mononitrate was in your previous B Complex supplements, explaining why they didn't work for you.   All the B vitamins work together.  Thiamine needs the other B vitamins to make enzymes and ATP, so you will need to take them.  Taking them in individual supplements is fine.  I've done the same.  Just remember you need all eight.   Let me know how it's going for you!

      Thanks! I am currently trying B1 out on its own. I tried many brands of B-complex and they always make me feel nauseous and tired. I think I may have to try taking each B vitamin on its own.
