I have the pills, my dr said it will also help with the acid and stomach pain. I haven't been able to leave the house the last 2 days because of the pain :angry: I have no idea why I'm this sick

Betty--I hope this med will help, it seems like you've been sick for a while now. Let me know how you're doing. And, thanks for the nice PM--that was so sweet of you :)

Does the doctor have any idea why you're so sick?

hi patti, I've had every test the drs can think of..slow digestion, gerd and a [borderline positive] celiac blood test...still having quite a bit of pain..I am better than before going gluten-free. I just can't figure this one out, my belly was feeling pretty good, then within 10 minutes a couple days ago I was in sever pain, it's killing me and the grumbling and bloating is awful

I did make a chicken dinner with soy and a rice dish with soy but that was sunday night, I don't think it would take 2 days to bother me

I keep thinking about eating gluten again just to see if I'm any worse than I already am, but my dr feels the blood test was enough of a confirmation, when I took the test I was about 90% gluten-free so we were very surprise to see a borderline positive, even the dr expected it to be negitive..he said "he believes it would have been even higher if I was eating full gluten"

I'm at a loss and to be honest very scared and had enough of this pain

well, I said too much lol

thanks for your kindness

You did not say too much! I was impressed that your doctor took the borderline test seriously--and even admitted it would have been higher if you were still on gluten. I was having similar things going on in December--after being gluten-free for a few months. I had D, but worse, I began to have pain--which I really didn't have before I was dx. Anyway, through a lot of trial and error, I found that the rice and other grains and starches (tapioca) I was using in place of wheat were the problem. Have you tried cutting out grains and see if that helps? I really do much better when I don't eat them at all. I've switched to potato-based or almond milks instead of rice. Just a thought :)

I will try cutting out my rice, I've been eating rice everyday since going gluten-free. what do you have for a side dish with dinner? I used to have baked potato with lots of butter, but the butter gives me heartburn...this is not easy and when I'm in pain like this I get scared and want to give up...thanks for the help

hugs :D

I know what you mean, potatoes can get "old" after a while! I eat potatoes frequently--but I make them in different ways. Also, sweet potatoes. Last week, for the first time, I made spaghetti squash, and it was pretty good! What finally made me suspect the rice, was that I knew SOMETHING was making me sick, and I thought--well, what do I eat every day? So I thought, I have rice bread, rice milk, cereals and cookies made with rice and plain rice in a meal. Needless to say, I had to replace those things, but the result was worth it. I don't know if grains are your problem, but I think it may be a good place to start. It can't hurt ;)

ebrbetty Rising Star

you're right patti, it can't hurt..the rice is the one thing I eat almost everyday. I will stay away from it and see if it helps

my thanks once again!

jerseyangel Proficient

Yes--try it for a few days at least--let me know how you do! :)

You might also want to look at the soy as what is making you so ill. And yes, it can take a couple of days after eating to start being sick.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
