Two months gluten free, symptom questions

[Gal]

Hi everyone,

New to this forum

I was diagnosed with Celiac about two months ago (blood test + biopsy), Marsh III, and since then I’m keeping a strict gluten free diet. My mom also has celiac for many years so I have a lot of knowledge about what I can eat.

I’m still having pretty much the same symptoms and not seeing any improvement so far . My symptoms are mainly (and sorry for the TMI): loose/soft stools (with undigested food), D every few days, low appetite, not feeling empty, lots of gas. I do have normal stools occasionally (but I did also before going gluten free).

I have a couple of questions:

1. I usually feel the gas in the lower right side of my abdomen, it sometimes even wakes me from my sleep (not so much from the pain, but it just moves so much that I wake up…). Did anyone experience this? Anything I can do to alleviate it?

2. When to expect at least some improvement? This is really frustrating 😕

Thank you all!!

Gal

Perhaps you have developed intolerances to other non-gluten foods. This is common among celiacs because of the dysfunctional immune system which turned against wheat in the beginning and now begins to falsely identify other foods as invaders. Have you been checked for SIBO?

Recovery can take up to two years, especially since you had Marsh III lesions. I agree with @trents and you should explore going casein/dairy-free as well as other possible food intolerance issues. The good news is that many of these food intolerance issues may go away once you fully heal. This article may help:
