Welcome to the forum, Erakhan!

With only three months of experience in the gluten free journey it is likely you are still getting gluten from somewhere. Studies have shown that most people who believe they are eating gluten free are only eating lower gluten. Gluten is found in many commercially prepared food products that you would never expect to find it. And then there is cross contamination where something that is naturally gluten free comes in contact with gluten containing products in growing, transportation, storage and processing. Pills and supplements can be sources of gluten because wheat starch is sometimes used as a filler or a texturing agent. I am including this article for your review. 

There is also the possibility that you are cross reacting to some food or foods that technically don't contain gluten but whose protein component is similar enough to wheat gluten to cause a reaction. Common offenders are dairy, corn, oats, eggs and "meat glue" (https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/transglutaminase#concerns).

You need a lot of Thiamine, vitamin B1.

Doesn't sound like your diet has sufficient variety to provide the vitamins and minerals your body needs.

In Celiac Disease, our bodies have trouble absorbing sufficient nutrients, vitamins and minerals that help our bodies heal.

Discuss with your doctor or nutritionist the benefits of supplementing with the eight essential B vitamins and Vitamins D and C.  

Our digestive system needs Niacin B 3 to help heal the intestines.  Tryptophan, (up to 1000 mg/day), another form of Niacin is helpful as well.  Niacinamide is the nonflushing form of Niacin, but the flushing goes away with continued supplementation.  Small doses (100 mg) several times a day  is beneficial in calming and helps repair the intestinal lining (not over 500 mg/day).  

Rice is not a good source of B vitamins.  Rice has B vitamins added to it, but these may be destroyed by cooking and rinsing with water.  Better to buy your own B vitamin supplements and take them while you are healing.  It's very difficult to eat your way out of deficiency.  Better and faster to supplement.  

When I had constant diarrhea and digestive tract upsets and pain, Niacin and Thiamine really helped me feel better quickly.

Hope this helps!

      @Izelle, you are welcome! It is important to know that beginning the gluten-free diet or even a reduced gluten free diet previous to celiac testing will invalidate the testing. One should seek out testing before experimenting with eliminating gluten. Also, remember that celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune disease. When a celiac consumes gluten it triggers an autoimmune response that damages the lining of the small bowel. That can be confusing to a lot of people because it is an autoimmune response that involves food. So, allergy testing is of no use in diagnosing celiac disease. Of course, people can also have allergies to wheat, barley or rye (the three gluten-containing grains) but that is an entirely different immune system response.

      Hello Suze and welcome to the forum. Can you tell us which country you are posting from?  The reason I ask is that in some countries, it is quite a good idea to be tested for coeliac disease because if it turns out you are a coeliac, you will be given additional support by the government.  For example if you live in the UK, the NHS offers support from a nutritionist, DEXA bone scans to check for osteoporosis/osteopenia to which coeliacs are sometimes prone, additional vaccinations against certain illnesses, annual reviews with a gastroenterologist to check for dietary compliance and possible health complications, and, in some regions, a prescription to help with the purchase of gluten free bread and other staples, which can be pricey. Another example is Italy.  According to the Celiac Disease Foundation, in Italy, coeliacs are given up to 140 Euros a month to buy specifically gluten free food.  (Source: https://celiac.org/gluten-free-living/global-associations-and-policies/policies-around-the-world/#:~:text=Diagnosed celiacs receive vouchers to,to deal with celiac disease.) But with regards to your white blood cells, my levels were similarly low from memory a couple of years ago during a period of quite high stress.  It was picked up in a pre-op blood test.  But nobody blinked an eyelid at the results.  A few months later at my coeliac review with my gastroenterologist the levels had normalised.  As you are concerned, do raise it with your doctor, but it could well just be a blip as it was in my case.

      Hello, I am new here and currently on my 3rd week of gluten-free and finally starting to feel better after 5 months of pain, IBS symptoms, and losing 1 and a half stone.  I also have low white blood cells and wondered if it might be related.  Just wanted to share! I've been tested for autoimmune diseases and had stool tests, blood tests and all fine (apart from white blood cells are at 3.0). Doc wants to retest for Celiac but I need to be eating gluten and quite frankly, I really don't want to!

      Since I've been a member of this forum,  I've seen some people write that they have not been able to tolerate corn, and others nightshades - tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers (including bell peppers, chili peppers, and paprika).    However, intolerances can be short term, just while you are healing.    So bear this in mind if you start dropping certain foods from your diet - you may well be able to eat them again once you are healed.
