2nd Endoscopy

I had my 2nd Endoscopy because I am still having lot of fatigue, constipation, bloating and brain fog. I was diagnosed 3 years ago.  My results came back with nothing major, but that I have low disaccharides. What could this mean? Could it signal diabetes? I am also a very picky eater that hasn’t had fruit or veggies except spinach, asparagus and avocado.

I’m not sure what “low disaccharides” means.  Could it have been low disaccharidase?  That would be the enzymes that breaks down lactose and other disaccharide sugars.  When not broken down the sugars can lead to digestive troubles.

If @RMJ is correct, I believe that you can simply take Lactaid enzymes to help you break down the lactose in dairy, and if that doesn't help going dairy-free would be best.

Although lactase deficiency is the most common, there are other disaccharidases required to break down other sugars, such as sucrose, and to complete the breakdown of more complex carbohydrates. 

Have you spoken to your doctor about the results?  Hopefully he/she/they can give you more information about what it means and what foods to avoid, enzymes to take, etc.

      Wheat flour is fortified with vitamins in the U.S. as a part of USDA policy. Gluten free facsimile products are not fortified. There is no government mandate for such. When you remove wheat flour by going gluten free, you may be removing a significant source of vitamins.

      Okay.  That doesn't answer the question, but thanks anyway.

      Refractory Coeliac Disease research to reduce anxiety

      A confirmed diagnosis of refractory coeliac disease is required to participate in the study unfortunately. Apologies you are feeling miserable even though you have remained gluten-free, I hope you are able to receive further understanding as to why from the relevant medical professional. I am hoping to provide copies of the content used in this study following its completion end of this year so will make a note to post on here when the study is complete, a copy of the resources used from the group.

      Do you think it’s a vitamin issue that could make celiac symptoms worse during recovery ?

      Multivitamin products are seldom potent to offset the vitamin and mineral deficiencies that typically result from long term undiagnosed celiac disease. We commonly recommend sublingual B12, a B-complex 5-10k IU of D3, 400 mg daily of magnesium glycinate, and zinc picolinate. The forms of certain vitamins like magnesium and zinc are important since it has a significant impact on absorbability. If you live near a Costco, the Kirkland Signature series and Nature Made lines are good quality choices and economical. And they will indicate on the packaging if they are gluten free.
