What was your recovery like?

I see tons of posts on here and questions asking "how long..." it took people to recover, but I'm more curious about what your recovery was like. Was it up and down? Which symptoms went away first? Which ones stuck around longer? Did you have to take probiotics? Vitamins? Did you have leaky gut or other issues that needed to be tackled? Did you get worse before better and, if so, for how long? Which symptoms worsened? Did other things like hormones, stress, etc. have an impact on your recovery? Give me your details! As someone who is only four weeks gluten free and still having a rough time, I'd love to see some "long haul" comments instead of the "I felt better in three days!" ones. :D

I will admin that it's hard to recall all the details, but at the time of my diagnosis I have flattened villi, major diarrhea, had lost weight, had helicobacter pryori, and had leaky gut. I had additional temporary food intolerance issues to diary, chicken eggs, tomatoes, garlic among other things.

The lower right pain in my gut started feeling better within the first two weeks, as did the diarrhea. Most of the other issues I had went away much more slowly, and took around two years to resolve. It took even longer for a couple of the foods, like chicken eggs, before I could eat them again.

      Hurrah for an official diagnosis!   You may want to put the whole family on gluten free, as a preventative measure for the ones not testing positive right now.  Remember, exposure to gluten triggers the Celiac genes your kids have inherited from you.  Keeping them gluten free now, even though they don't test positive right now, can delay triggering Celiac Disease development in them.

      @annirosex, Get your Vitamin D level checked.  Low Vitamin D can mess up menstrual cycles.  Vitamin D at healthy levels (80-100) acts as a hormone and regulates your immune system.  Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is needed to activate Vitamin D, so adding thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would be beneficial.

      Thank you! I saw a different provider this week who took one look at all my medical information and declared it was celiac in the first 5 minutes of the appointment. I am still a bit in shock but so very thankful to have an official diagnosis. The doctor told me to have my children tested and one of them came back with a "weak positive" TTG IgA! Not sure what to think about that! This week has been a wild ride. Thankfully this website has such great information! I've been going through all the do's and don't's of cross contact etc.

      Good job! Brave astronaut! The other B vitamins can be stored in the body longer than thiamine.  You won't mess them up.

      I took my first 100 mg this morning. Let's see what happens. Still a bit nervous of messing up my other B vitamins since I don't have a B complex at the moment. Thanks for your replies Knitty Kitty!
