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 ;)

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!

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.

      Is this celiac?

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms. The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines. While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten...

      Is this celiac?

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      knitty kitty asks a very relevant question. So many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet soon before getting formally tested.

Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!
