Fatty Liver W/Scarring

Hi,

I have been a Celiac for 5 years. Before Celiac, I was always a good weight and active. After Celiac, I was sick for a long time. I'm not a huge eater and eat healthy most of the time. I was just recently diagnosed with fatty liver with grade 2 scarring.

I am over weight but not a lot and no matter what I do, I just gain weight. Have any of you experienced this and what did you do? Thank you 😊

Welcome to the forum, @Brightstar101!

Please don't get offended at this question but I would like to ask if you are serious about eating 100% gluten free since diagnosis?

Apart from that, thiamine supplementation can be therapeutic in arresting non alcoholic fatty liver disease: https://journals.biologists.com/dmm/article/14/3/dmm048355/237831/High-dose-vitamin-B1-therapy-prevents-the

Which makes one wonder if the problem can be caused by poor thiamine assimilation from the diet.

Thank you for your reply! Yes, we are 100 percent a gluten free household and I do not eat out so I learned my lesson with this 2 years in. Maybe, we have trouble absorbing Thiamine just like B12 and D. I will look into this 😊

Besides supplementation, are you getting regular exercise? You may also want to look into low carb or pleo diets, as they can help with weight loss.

Hi,

Thanks for your comment! I have tried everything under the sun and besides not eating, the scales will not budge! I do exercise but that doesn't do anything either. I wasn't like this until I was diagnosed with Celiac 5 years ago. I do take B12 injections, Vitamin D sublingual but it still stays low. I wonder if I'm still not absorbing right even though I have been completely gluten-free for years!

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By ShariW · Posted

      These look great!  I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By ShariW · Posted

      When I had to go gluten-free, the rest of my family still ate gluten. They still eat regular bread products and crackers, but there are no other gluten-containing foods in the house. I bought a separate toaster that is only used for gluten-free products, and thoroughly cleaned all cookware, dishes and surfaces. We do have to be very careful with cross-contact, for instance when someone else is making a sandwich with wheat bread. Then I went through my cupboards and pantry, I set aside everything else with gluten and gave it away - flour and baking mixes, pasta, etc. So when I cook any recipe that calls for flour (perhaps for thickening) or bread crumbs like Panko, I only use gluten-free. My cupboard now holds gluten-free baking flour, tapioca flour, rice flour, almond flour, gluten-free oats, gluten-free grits, gluten-free cornmeal, and a few gluten-free baking mixes for occasional use. On the odd occasion when we have pasta, it is gluten-free - nobody notices the difference in the "new" lasagna. I have found several good recipes that are gluten-free and everyone loves them. A family favorite is the Tarta de Santiago, a naturally gluten-free treat made with almond flour.

      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.):

      How many people also get sick from the following prolamins?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Exactly, everyone with celiac disease technically has an "intolerance" to these: Wheat: The prolamin is called gliadin. Barley: The prolamin is called hordein. Rye: The prolamin is called secalin. Around 9% of celiacs also should avoid oats (but around the time of diagnosis this may be much higher--some will have temporary intolerance): Oats: The prolamin is called avenin. I had to avoid this for 1-2 years after my diagnosis until my gut healed: Corn: The prolamin is called zein. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
