Post Diagnosis and Diet Change and feeling much worse.

[BMking]

Hello everyone! This is my first post so please bear with me. To give a little background I am trying to figure out whether or not my Celiac Disease recovery seems abnormal and looking to see if anyone might have any insight. I originally went to the Dr. over the summer for sporadic stomach pain and feeling hungry even when I ate. It was always the worst in the morning, I would wake up some days with 3/10 pain. After seeing the Dr. I was referred to a GI who wished to conduct an EGD and colonoscopy. Colonoscopy had no results but EGD showed the signs of celiac and a biopsy later confirmed it. I also had three duodenal ulcers and GERD as well. Sit down with GI and he explains everything, I get medications for the ulcers and GERD and immediately go on a gluten-free diet. The confusing aspect of this all was that I never really had that severe of symptoms, I would have the stomach pain maybe one or twice a week and it was not incredibly painful or debilitating. But after going gluten-free I had no symptoms for around a month and then with no change whatsoever have been experiencing severe stomach pain day in day out for two months straight. I immediately cut out dairy and processed foods as soon as it started to try and help but it has done nothing. When I wake up in the morning I sometimes regurgitate stomach acid. But overall I just have much much worse pain than I had before I went gluten-free. I went back to the GI and he confirmed that I have Celiac but had little to no answers for me other than to prescribe me Reglan and tell me not to eat right before sleeping. I have done this and tried to eliminate different food groups to see if one or the other is giving me issues and nothing has changed. I just can't believe that after removing gluten my issues have gotten about 10x worse. I know healing takes a while, but for me to keep getting worse is concerning. I am open to any and all advice, especially suggestions of what I could discuss with the GI. He just keeps telling me I have a severe case of Celiac but really ignores me when I try to seek out other reasons for my issues. Thank you, everyone!

TL;DR- Original pain wasn't that bad, went gluten-free and it has gotten much worse. Am for sure Celiac and have cut out dairy.

So sorry you are feeling unwell, Is it possible to try another treatment for gerd?  Try a low FODMAP for a few months and see of you feel better. If it works, then you can reintroduce one food at a time to see which one is bothering you.

the first few months for me were brutal in terms of digestion, whereas I my digestive symptoms were not was bad before going gluten-free. It was surprising, but then i realised I had food allergies and happened to be eating way more of those foods immediately after going gluten-free.
As soon as I cut out stress from wondering what to eat by always having 2 meals I prepared ready in my fridge, it helped a lot.

Please don't eat those highly processed gluten-free foods with ingredients you can't pronounce, they are absolute trash and not what you need at the moment. Try using those only for emergencies. A whole foods diet, seeing if you have any food allergies and low FODMAP could help you.

It helped me, I am still having non digestive symptoms due to decades of low absorption, but even that is getting better, so hang in there!

I don't know what meds you are on, but careful of the side effects. Please go see a proper nutritionist. It took me a while, but I found one who is also a doctor, he prescribed me vitamins and minerals that were very easy to digest (liquid, powder)  Natural Anti inflammatory and alkaline powder. 
Keeping a food diary can help you pin down what is going on. I know it is very hard to leave certain foods behind, but I promise you it gets easier as soon as you start to feel better

Hope you find the help you need here BMKing! (hilarious name by the way)
