Hello there! I have already written on this site: https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/157164-i-feel-so-bad/#comment-1100551. Now I would like to find out from someone who knows what is best for me to do and whether there is a way out of my situation at all. I'll start with the story: it all started 2 years ago when I had severe stress and helicobacter. Helicobacter was successfully treated for me a year ago. But after antibiotic therapy, I developed acne (pimples climb on corn, citrus fruits, and gluten-free oatmeal). So I spent almost a year on rice, potatoes, and boiled meat. Unfortunately, my body has stopped assimilating oils (margarine, vegetable oil, olive oil, I have not tried others). I have diarrhea from oils, my stomach rumbles very much on the left in the stomach area, bad breath, gases with the smell of hydrogen sulfide (the same symptoms from any fruits, berries, vegetables, even with a low fodmap content). I tried the therapy that was advised to me: I took vitamin D3, tanned, took magnesium citrate, but the vitamin B complex made my pimples crawl, and my stomach rumbled from L-glutamine. In general, it got better after therapy. Now in the hospital I have been diagnosed with sibo with the help of a breath test. The result is positive for lactulose, negative for fructose. I take rifaximin and vitamin B12, the rumbling has passed, but I am worried about the possibility of a relapse. How do I avoid it? And why do I feel so bad from oils and even teas, such as mint? How to populate the intestines with beneficial bacteria after sibo without causing sibo? And since I have chronic constipation, could you suggest something? I forgot to say that in a regular hospital I had an ultrasound with a load, and they found a dysfunction of the gallbladder. In a better hospital, they did it without any load. And I don't understand, does this sibo somehow affect the gallbladder or what? Sorry for having so much text and questions

Around 9% of celiacs can't have even gluten-free oatmeal, as they have a separate intolerance to the avenin protein. Perhaps cut out oatmeal and corn for a couple of months to see if this helps?

      @Ginger38, Diabetes and Celiac often go hand in hand.  Having more than one autoimmune disease is common with Celiac.  I'd err on the side of caution and go gluten free.   I did not want to go on insulin, either.  I got my diabetes under control by following the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne).  My diet now does include carbs.   We're supporting you through this difficult time.

      @Ginger38,  I've been there with horrible symptoms and diarrhea accidents and diabetes and the insulin conundrum!  My doctors were just as frustrating!   I had nutritional deficiencies.  I know your doctors refuse to test for this.  So did mine, saying "I can't make money prescribing vitamins."  Some members say a naturopathic doctor is more open to testing for deficiencies.  Remember not to start supplementing until after testing is done.  Otherwise the supplements will raise your blood levels falsely.   I had studied Nutrition at university, so I decided to supplement essential vitamins and minerals.  A B Complex, extra Thiamine (Benfotiamine) for the diabetes, magnesium and Vitamin D are the supplements I started with.   The B vitamins are water soluble so any excess is excreted easily.  Thiamine even in high doses is safe and nontoxic.  Diabetics lose more thiamine in urine because of weird kidney stuff.   I wanted to get my blood glucose levels under control because gluten free foods made my level spike for long periods, too.  I absolutely did not want to go on insulin.  Once you do, the pancreas stops making it.  Very scary.  Best to help the pancreas function with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine. I began the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, A Celiac herself).  It's a low carb, very strict diet at first, then expanded.  I considered it similar to feeding a sick baby.  You don't give hard to digest foods to a baby.  You give easily digestible foods.  This allows time for the gastrointestinal tract to calm down and heal.  Symptoms started to calm down quickly.  With the vitamins, I started feeling much better.  My blood glucose levels stabilized.  I did not go on insulin.  I do not take anti-glycemic pharmaceutical drugs like Metformin.  Just diet.  You're making the right decision to live as a Celiac.  Your body is telling you clearly.  You can get through this.  You're strong and you're fighting for yourself and your baby.  Good job!  You have the Tribe behind you!

      Though trying to diligently eat gluten free, recent bloodwork was bad so searching for culprits.  Eat lot of (preferably mixed) nuts.  Most allergen labels say may be processed on equpment that also processes wheat, etc.  Finally found ONE kind (unsalted mixed) at BJ's.  Wessley (their store brand) that did not contain that warning.  Says in large letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  Well, all nuts are a gluten free FOOD!  Have been eating and now wonder if this is intentionally decieving.  So stopped eating until find culprit.  Nuts are so good for protein and fiber (especially if trying to not eat meat).  'Tis so frustrating.  Thanks to above, I'll look into Tierra Farms.

      Despite being very diligent about eating gluten free, my recent bloodwork was bad.  So been on a mission to find the culprit(s).  During Covid my daughter found "certified gluten free" Yasso mint chocolate chip yogurt bars at Costco.  I was elated and have been eating them since.  When delving into possible culprits I discovered that the boxes with 12 bars at both Costco and BJ's no longer say "certified gluten free."  But the boxes with 4 bars at groceries and Target still say "certified gluten free."  Contacted the manufacturer and was told to go by what the box says.  So guess different machinery is used.  Was also told they were in the process of changing boxes.  Will be interesting to see what that brings.
