Gastric Sleeve Surgery with Celiac

Okay. I know better. I ate a part of a hotdog on a regular bun and now I can't quit having diarrhea and major cramping. It has been going on for three days. Shouldn't it be out of my system by now? I also had gastric sleeve surgery, so the amount I can eat is very small. Has anyone else had the gastric surgery with celiac?

We have had members with gastric surgery post before.  You may have to search the forum to find their threads.  I don't think they are regular visitors to the forum tho.

Celiac disease is an auto-immune condition.  The immune system can continue reacting for weeks to months once it is triggered.  Getting it (gluten) out of your system doesn't end the immune system attack on your body.  Time does that.

Jeannie,

I am so sorry for all your health issues. Do you regret the surgery? How is your digestive system now? What foods seem to allow a smooth week?

Of course it never occurred to your doctors that undiagnosed Celiac Disease might be the reason you needed the bypass surgery in the first place. Dr Mark Hymen of the Cleveland Clinic Institute of Functional Medicine has a new book, What the Heck Should I Eat? and Dr Amy Meyers specializes in treating autoimmune diseases. Dr. Meyers, The Autoimmune Solution. Both authors are gluten free advocates of functional medicine.

I was diagnosed with celiac three years before the surgery.  I’ve always had stomach issues starting in first grade. Probably had celiac but doctor’s called it nervous stomach, spastic stomach, IBS.  I was always super skinny as a kid but my weight gain started after having kids. I  had the surgery because I couldn’t lose weight, no matter the diet and exercise. I thought with all the digestive issues, I shouldn’t be overweight.  I’ve learned that celiac patients can be overweight!

      Yep,yep,yep, called it from experience.  I've lived through SIBO and Candida myself.  I get a different sorts of reactions to dairy, high sugar consumption, and gluten.  I react to Casein, the protein in dairy.   Try the AIP diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne designed it and is a Celiac herself.  Her book, the Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.

      Gluten Allergy

      Yes, I know.   Without sufficient Folate, Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine, the body can't get rid of high homocysteine levels.  High homocysteine levels make one restless, interferes with sleep and resembles ADHD symptoms.  High homocysteine levels occur in Celiac Disease.  Chronic high histamine levels lead to high homocysteine levels.

      You called it @knitty kitty.  I went to another health care provider for another opinion, and based on some tests they did, they suggested I might also be dealing with a fungal issue (candida and/or mold).  I saw that you mentioned before in this chain that some people on this forum also get Candida infections.  So it seems that I am possibly dealing that issue in my gut as well. I think some of the symptoms that I've been not able to understand now make a lot of sense within this context (such as why eating dairy and sugar sometimes causes me to get headaches, joint pain, chills, feel like I have the flu... if these things are making the candida infection worse by feeding the candida, and then my body responds by trying to fight it off, then I basically am fighting off an infection, which is exactly what it feels like).  The flu-like reaction that I get when I eat dairy is a distinct reaction than the one I get from getting glutened (which is also bad, but different: headache, sharp abdominal pains, gas, diarrhea). That's what made me think there was something else at play.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By lmemsm · Posted

      I'm concerned about calcium.  I don't think I'm getting enough especially since I ended up having to get off dairy when I went gluten free.  However, if you have too much calcium, it can deposit in the wrong places and you can get thinks like bone spurs.  I'd like find a decent supplement for that.  Was thinking of looking into the algae based calcium supplements since they're more natural than some of the others available, but seem rather expensive.  When possible, I try supplement with food sources.  One or two Brazil nuts usually have the full RDA for selenium.  One Barbados cherry has the daily RDA for vitamin C.  I also use seaweed to help supplement iodine since I don't use iodized salt.
