Hey guys so i have been DX with Celiac from blood work april Anti-DGP IgG and confirm biospy in June. I been on the diet since June, not eating out anymore, eating more vegatables, etc. But one thing has not been fixed is seeing oil slick TMI sorry in stool and loose stools. In the last 3 weeks I gotten a cortisone shot on my wrist and i noticed that my stomach has been in more pain and that my bowel movements have been a little loose. My GI believes that I may have pancreatic insufficiency, so ill be waiting on the results and for the steroid shot he thinks its gastritis. What are your thoughts have any of you experience this before. I have seen many specialist throughout these months such as neurologist for muscle twitching, pins and needles, rheumatoid doctor for joint pain caused by antibiotics, i went to the ER had X-ray's and ultrasound on my stomach, they could not find anything.Been tested for Lyme, MRI on my spine and brain nothing EMG on my feet and hands nothing found. My weight fluctuates, I have issues with insomnia and I'm stressed and anxious most of the time. When are things suppose to get better I'm a 25 male.

Welcome!  

I am sorry that you are not recovering as fast as you like.  Celiac disease can affect so much more than just your small intestine.  I think your doctor is right about pancreatic insufficiency and gastritis could be very possible.  

It takes time to heal.  A long time.  Why?  Because really learning the gluten-free diet takes time.  Mistakes occur and set backs happen.  Most here take a year or more to really feel well.  You are probably dealing with not just celiac disease, so I am glad your GI is investigating.  It is about time to remeasure your antibodies now.  See if they are declining.  As long as they are going down and not up, you are doing well and are on track.  

Glad to hear you are not eating out.  Too risky when you are still symptomatic.  Stick to non-processed foods as much as possible as all the additives might make it more difficult to digest especially with pancreatic insufficiency.  Think well-cooked, mushy foods like soups and stews.  

Hang in there.  You are not alone!

I have pancreas issues, and take enzymes, I was on a Sliver Fern Version along with Jarrow Porcine Pancreas Enzymes, but have shifted to doctors best for more lipease and the jarrow for breaking down fats more.
Try avoiding anything with emulsifiers like processed foods with guar gum, xantham gum, Konjac, etc. They tend to bind up fats with other foods and can make digestion harder.
I did a post on enzymes and the issues we often have with them and a bit of a viscous cycle with cooking stuff to make it easier to digest destroys natural enzymes in foods. This is a older post before we found out I have issues with my pancreas -_- and it has gotten worse with a gluten exposure since then.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By MegRCxx · Posted

      I started eating gluten free about a month before my test results came through and i was starting to feel a little better but still the off flare ups. I recieved the diagnosis at the beginning of September and they have supplied me with a nutritionist mid october. I am only eating gluten free foods and am so careful but i just seem to still always feel like crap.    i feel fine after breakfast but as soon as ive had lunch i feel crap for the rest of the day. Stomach hurts to apply any pressure, fatigue, mood swings and its getting to me at the moment.   i used to be a head pastry chef and thought id always had that to fall back on but the not being able to eat everything i love and worrying about cross contamination has taken a massive toll. There is only so much you can do with coeliac and i just dont know how to feel better. Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      Yes cooking everything from scratch has helped vanquish my symptoms. As for tips on managing a busy schedule and preparing fresh food -- I try to steam a lot of fresh vegetables most evenings so I have food in the fridge for a day or two. But I still have to do a lot of shopping since I buy so much fresh fruits and vegetables. Still, no matter how much you plan or set up a routine, food preparation to cope with my celiac still requires a serious time commitment.

      Has anyone ever had Low Ferritin with Elevated MCHC levels?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @cristiana, I'm glad your A1Cs have come back as normal!   Penicillin based antibiotics like flucloxacillin can deplete thiamine, but low thiamine won't cause high mchc.  But SIBO bacteria will take advantage of low thiamine and all those oats to become overgrown.  SIBO bacteria can interfere with iron and B12 absorption and may cause high mchc.   Certainly a head scratcher!  Hope the test results come soon so you can get this figured out! Keep us posted!

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      By lehum · Posted

      Dear Community, I hope this won't get too long, but I'd like to share a bit of my Celiac story to see if anyone can relate or has any input from personal experience, because I have been struggling for awhile now.  I was diagnosed at 28 with Celiac. I had been having gut problems for years but it took me awhile to take the step to get medical support. At the point of my diagnosis, my antibodies were at 1,118. The doctor said that I must have had Celiac since childhood.  Upon starting the gluten-free diet, it seemed, at least at first, like my problems exacerbated instead of getting better. Throughout the course of the last 4.5 years, I have struggled immensely with food. In addition to the transition to the gluten-free diet, I began having numerous other problems, including dairy, histamine, and potentially more: I am not so sure. I have struggled with fatigue, headaches, nausea, gut problems, extreme brain fog, and more. After about two years of eating gluten-free, I got a follow up endocsopy. My antibodies were still a bit higher than they should have been, but my villi had healed. So, the structural damage had gotten better, but my symptoms continued. To this day, I eat strictly gluten-free (of course), dairy free, and low histamine. Bloodwork has shown that my DAO and histamine liberator levels are actually normal which should normally indicate not having a histamine intolerance, but my body reactions to histamine when I eat it, and even eating low histamine I feel a constantly feeling of allergy/inflammation, even though I don't have seasonal allergies. I mostly eat rice products, low histamine nuts, potatoes and sweet potatoes, low histamine fruits and vegetables, eggs, chicken, and simple spices and oils.  I have struggled with brain fog, fatigue, rosacea, and headaches. The headaches have improved some. The doctor also found some deficiencies like Iron, Omega 3, and coenzyme Q10, so I am taking supplements fot those now.  Another doctor found mold toxicity and I have been trying to take measures to detoxify as well.  The last time my antibodies were checked, they were at 8, though I eat very strictly gluten-free.  Stool tests have shown a slight gut imbalance, but they haven't shown anything extremely drastic.  I feel like I react to products, even certified gluten-free ones, with symptoms quite often.  My doctor suggested that I switch to grain-free earlier this week with the exception of rice and quinoa. I replaced my gluten-free oats with gluten-free quinoa flakes, and I reacted horribly, as if there were gluten in the product. The product comes from a very reputable brand known for their strict procedures and producing gluten-free products in a separate building, with consequent testing before sending out products. Why, then, I wonder am I reacting this way? I know it was the flakes because they're the only new thing I ate. After three days of eating them, I had several itchy bumps on my body, fatigue, diarrhea, gut pain, gas, instant neuropathy in my legs, and all the other things that go along with a glutening for me. I am curious if I am one of those people who reacts to products that have more than 10 ppm, since the product only guarantees being below 20 or if it is a cross-reaction with grains. I am not sure how to make this determination. At this point, I am not trying to figure out what the best is for me. Grain-free? Paleo? Just avoid these specific flakes? I think it is encouraging that my villi look better, but I simply don't FEEL better.  I have started working with a nutrionist who suggested that I do grain-free (with the exception of rice) for two weeks and focus on starchy fruits and veggies and after another week try and add back in a few fats like avocado or hemp seeds.  I follow instagram accounts of people with Celiac claiming how now that they are eating gluten-free they've never felt better, are traveling the entire world, etc. It is so easy to feel isolated and alone, especially when reading that most people feel remarkably better within 6 months to a year. This is not my story, though of course I sometimes wish it were. I don't need to travel the world, but I do travel a few times a year overseas to visit my family in the US (I live in Europe), and it's tiring. I would just love to have my energy, health, and life back. If anyone has any practical ideas or would like to share part of his/her/their story, I would be really grateful and happy to read it. Wishing everyone well on the Celiac journey, L
