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.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
