Gastric Sleeve Surgery with Celiac

[WorldsApart]

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.

I had the gastric bypass I was deathly sick for 2 years they figured the stress of the bypass brought on my celiac when my son was born I ended up lupus and thyroid my mom passed I ended up with vililigo on my face and reynards hands and feet seems my autoimmune comes with stress in my life

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!
