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?

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Your feelings are completely valid, and I want to commend you for advocating for yourself despite the initial resistance from your doctor. Navigating a new celiac diagnosis can feel overwhelming, especially when you're adjusting to such a big lifestyle change. It’s natural to grieve the loss of your old eating habits and to feel frustrated by the constant label-reading and vigilance required. But please know that you are not alone, and many others have walked this path and come out stronger on the other side. Healing takes time, and while the brain fog, fatigue, and bowel symptoms can be discouraging, they often improve as your body begins to recover. It’s great that you’ve hired a dietitian—that’s a big step in supporting your healing journey and ensuring you’re getting the nutrients your body needs to rebuild. Remember, each small step you take is progress, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. It’s okay to feel sad and angry, but also try to give yourself credit for your strength in facing this. The fact that you pushed for answers shows how resilient you are. While the road ahead may have challenges, many people find that over time, they feel better than they ever imagined possible once their gut begins to heal. You’ve got this, and the celiac community is here to support you every step of the way. If you have time, this book was published on Celiac.com's and you might find it helpful: Also, 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.):

      Welcome to the forum, @Whyz! By "half way to being diagnosed" I assume you mean you have had the blood antibody testing done but not the gastroscopy with biopsy. Is this correct? Were the results of your blood work positive for celiac disease?
    • trents
      Three days of no gluten is not likely to have much impact on serum antibody test results. I have more concern over exactly what test or tests were ordered. When you get the results back, please post them including the reference ranges for the tests for negative vs. positive. What country are you in? Do you have much choice in what doctors you see? Sounds like it might be a good idea to seek out another physician who knows what they are doing in this area of disease diagnosis. At any rate, you have the link I shared above outlining the various tests that can be run so that might be a resource you could share with a physician.
