What are the biggest reasons for not healing?

Hey all, 

What are the biggest reasons for not healing? I am 110% sure of my diet/cross contamination, eat very clean foods, workout, and I have all the same symptoms as I did two years ago. I've put so much effort in for little change. 

My latest GI says she has no idea what wrong with me - and is not even 100% sure that I have celiac now. I had negative blood tests but positive endoscopy, a year later the villi were all back with a gluten-free diet being the only big change. I was told it is fairly likely though. 

Thanks.

The number one reason is not being 100% gluten-free, perhaps because you eat at restaurants, or you've got something you eat regularly that is contaminated.

Other reasons include the following, and we happen to have an article that will be live in a couple of days just this topic:

  • Lactose Intolerance
  • Helicobacter Pylori
  • Small Bowel Bacterial Overgrowth
  • Yeast Overgrowth
  • Other Food Sensitivities

There are a small percentage of celiacs who have refractory, or non-responsive celiac disease, and here are articles on this:

      Thank you both. I haven't had access to the test results but will get them and post here.

      The ulcers are prepyloric ulcers. Not sure if that makes any difference.

      Duodenal ulcers are not uncommon either and often result from H.Pylori infections. https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/duodenal-ulcer

      I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve, it would be another indicator that she has celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
