Hi everyone. Hope you guys are ok. I know I’ve asked couple of times how long did it take for you to completely heal but it’s been 7 months since I’ve started my gluten-free diet I do still experiencing ups and downs,like back pain,achy body,weird feeling in ears,achy feet,blurred vision,also gained weight feeling hungry all the time. I was feeling pretty well 3 months after diet and I was thinking that’s it an I got healed but somehow symptoms started again,not as bad as before but still.. is it normal to feel like this after 7 months?? And also 4 months after diet my blood work got improved. I still take antidepressants. Anyhow,did it take more than a year for anyone to get completely better?

The average time to recovery is 2 years, but this can vary greatly from person to person, and depends on how much intestinal damage you had, weather or not you're taking vitamin & mineral supplements, are 100% gluten-free, etc. If you eat out at restaurant you're probably getting some trace amounts of gluten in your diet.

I don’t eat at restaurants at all. But it’s hard to live with gluten consuming family members. Do you think Marsh 3a score is advanced stage or mild stage?

Marsh 3a would be considered mild damage:

Are you taking vitamin D, B-Complex, and any other supplements? Low vitamin D levels as well as others can be associated with depression. One of our moderator @knitty kitty might be able to recommend more about this.

I’m taking supplements,but not every day. And I usually don’t take them all in one day. I do usually split them,for example Monday B complex,Tuesday iron supplement,Wednesday vitamin D. Not able to digest all of them in one day…

I'm sorry you're not feeling as much improved as you would like to be by now.  I do think that you would have better results if you took the B vitamins every day.  

The B vitamins would help you with your symptoms, but they need to be taken consistently.  When we take them every day, the B vitamins will improve the body's functions and repair the nerves that are causing problems like the burning feet, blurry vision and weird ear sensations.  

As a healing Celiac, we need to supply our bodies with the essential B vitamins it needs to function every day and for healing.  Since our stores get depleted so rapidly when we've been ill, we need to take the B Complex to replenish those stores.  

Do try not to get your gluten free foods contaminated with regular gluteny foods others in your household may consume.  

Hope you feel better soon!

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.
