I was wondering if celiac disease can cause problems digesting foods, i recently ate chili and to say this as less grose as possible some of the beans got passed in full thru my stools, this also sometimes happens with lettece and almost always with carrots. Is this normal or should i make a apointment with my doctor?

Don't panic....................It is very normal for celiac disease people who have intestinal damage to pass foods that are undigested. Corn and nuts are noticable as well as lettuce like you mentioned. Over time you will notice less and less of these items in the bowl as your intestines heal. Just be sure to try and chew your food as good as possible to help your digestive system and avoid the big offenders until you feel better.

Best of luck!

You can try digestive enzymes. They help you break down the food so that doesn't happen as much.

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      thank you, i have been doing that the last few weeks and will continue to do so. I had not had my ttg iga checked since I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago so I am not sure if they ever dropped below the 15-20 range.    all my other labs are completely normal but I am concerned that this may be signs of refractor celiac or something else since I'm so careful with gluten-free diet

      Around 9% of celiacs cannot tolerate any oats, even gluten-free oats. It might be worth eliminating them for a few months, then get re-tested.

      I only eat certifed gluten-free products but a lot of which are processed. Could there be trace gluten in those or is that very unlikely?

      For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes (you may want to avoid oats):
