I have been getting sick all of the time lately, even when i'm following my diet. I'm to the point where I dread going out because I'm afraid I'll get caught somewhere without a bathroom. My anxiety about it has shot through the roof lately...my doctor prescriped a mild anti depressant, saying that it will help me relax. I was wondering if a

hmm, sorry about that, i guess it didn't post everything. I was wondering if an all organic non processed food diet would be the way to go....I know about the naturally gluten free foods but I don't know much about putting together a non processed meal or anything...can anyone help???

I have an early morning dentist appointment and all i can help wondering is if my stomach is going to be alright......i hate letting this disease run my life....

You can stick to plain meat, fruit and veggies for a while and see if that helps. I would cut out dairy too. I wouldn't eat any bread products either ~ made with rice, potatoes, etc. Just a plain, natural diet and see if that allows you to heal. :) You might want to read the book: Breaking the Vicious Cycle. It really helped me. Feel better!!! :)

Did you try eliminating all dairy products? Many people with celiac disease are temporarily lactose intolerant until their intestines heal. If you have been on the diet for awhile, casein (the milk protein) or soy intolerances are some things to look into.

I don't know a definitive answer, but I can say that the best I've felt in the last 4 years were the two times I ate only whole unprocessed foods, with no wheat or barley at all and very little grains overall (didn't even know I was Celiac).

I think Kimberly gave some good suggestions. What exactly are you eating on a typical day and what specifically are your symptoms?

Honestly, I barely eat anymore....when I do i make sure that it is known gluten free stuff that i can eat and still sometimes that doesn't even work.

I agree about the advice to keep your diet simple and avoid, at least for now, the processed things, grains, dairy and soy. I'm taking my own advice here--I'm currently cutting out the packaged foods, and the grains including rice and see how it goes. I'll be sticking to meat, veggies., fruit, good oils and nuts and see if it makes a difference. We could keep each other posted? Hope you feel better soon :)

You may just need more time to heal before you notice results. I was sick for about 6 months on the gluten free idet before I starteded noticing improvements. In the meantime, you may want to try eating foods that are easy on your stomach. So try and avoid eating foods that may be harder to digest like potatoes, dairy, soy, ect.

      I wonder how many doctors are aware of this site and would or should recommend it to their patients?

      I just got my test results after a less than 2-week gluten challenge consuming about 5 g of gluten per day on average.  Anti tTG-IgA: <0.2 AU/ml (<8 is negative) IgA: 180 mg/dl (Reference range is 70-400) I previously had been on a gluten-free diet for around 3 years or so, with occasional cheating and not being strict about cross-contamination. I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches). Is this likely to be NCGS rather than celiac disease given the test results and my history? Note: I have one copy of HLA-DQ8.

      How long have you been strictly gluten free? Certainly, it would be good to look into vitamin and mineral deficiencies and supplementation. The B vitamins, magnesium and D3 are all very important to neurological health. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to reverse gluten-induced neurological damage damage if it has gone on for a long time.

      Thanks Trents I'm strict with my gluten-free diet now. I just don't feel any better. I'm going to get tested for vitamins and minerals to see if I need some supplements. For sure I got some damage that doctors call Menier's and the only way they treat it is with medicine that does damage my body more than it helps.

      Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?
