Hello

I am new to this. I was told only 2 months ago that I have celiacs. Been really strict with diet but still not feeling very well. Made worse yesturday by eating bacon at lunch time. Has anyone else had a problem with fatty, greasy foods. Felt sick all afternoon and became really tired when I got home. Wondering if the lack of bread products makes you unable to digest more greasy foods? Any ideas.

Hope to hear from some of you.

Take Care

One thing I can gather is since going gluten free you do not probably eat a lot of greasy foods, I know I don't, I used to pizza, Mcdonalds, Wendys...the list goes on and on. Now I don't and when I do eat something fatty I tend to feel more weighed down. If that is a way to describe it. I do eat bacon frequently though. I don't usally have problems with it.

Hi Jenny, and welcome to the board :)

When you are in the inital stages of healing especially, you may not be able to handle higher fat foods. Also, are you still consuming dairy? While the intestine is healing, it's a good idea to eliminate dairy for a few months. At that point, you could try some again and see how you do with it.

I would suggest a simpler diet containing meats, eggs, veggies, fruits, rice, etc until you are feeling better.

It's also normal to be feeling tired at this point. Try and get as much rest as you can, drink a lot of good water and just give it some more time. It dosen't happen overnight, but you will feel better! ;)

Let us know if there's anything else we can help you with.

For a long time I had troulbe, and sometimes still do, if I've had a high fat content food. Chips, bacon. etc. Fortunately I can say "see, it's just from your lunch" and don't freak out that I'm "sick" again.

Oh yes, definately. I'm only a month gluten free, but fatty, greasy foods do not sit well yet. Give it some time, as you heal, you'll find you can introduce things back into your diet. But for now I'd stick with lean meats, fruits,veggies, and rice. Even high starchy foods like potatoes can be hard to digest if you haven't healed enough. I made some fried pork chops and poatoes last week that I thought was going to kill me :o

Yes, I recall feeling sick after eating hotdogs. Bacon can do the same. Now if I eat bacon, I limit myself to 2 slices. I also remember waking up in the night to be sick after a rich meal at a restaurant, fettucini alfredo I think. But yes, high fat foods have been hard to digest.

Dear Jenny1972,

I had my gallbladder out, so I have to watch my fat intake. The Celiac's made my gallbladder go bad when I was 20, and I had to have it removed. If this persists, getting that checked out would be a good idea. I was told to cut the dairy again. I was feeling a lot better the first few months, then I started feeling bad again. I think that is when I began eating dairy. So, I am going to have to cut it out gain to see if that is the trouble.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

P.S. We have trouble digesting fat, and malabsorbtion is an issue, which could cause discomfort too.

      Medication

      By trents · Posted

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.

      Good day! New members here and I have a question about medication. My gastroenterologist made me stop some medication during the gluten challenge beforenthe screening test but I have a little surgery tomorrow and I need to know if I can use tylenol for half a day or if it will give me false results using it.   Thanks

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.
