What Else Can It Be?

Hi there,

I went gluten free for the alst month as a trial because of exteme fatigue, brian fog, and poor bowel movements, usually 4 times a day.

I have felt better since going gluten free, but still occassionaly get brain fog, extreme bloating and fatigue, and most times its not after unkowingly eating gluten. I still haven't had good bowel movements even after the removal of gluten.

I tried today to load up on gluten, some bread, doughnut and a piece of cake to make sure. The strange thing is, yes I felt not that great and had to go to the bathroom. But for the first 1.5 hours I felt totally fine... 100%. Then I had to go to the bathorom and was a little brain fogged. But not NEARLY as bad as I have been in the past. I thought I would be very tired from all that gluten, or at least as tired as some of my worse experience over the last month of gluten free. But really not that bad?

I really don't think its lactose either, because the brain fog went away quite considerably over the lats month and if anything i've been eating way more lactose to compensate for the lack of gluten. Is there anything you can think of that might be a problem for me that I'm over looking. Typical items in my diet I eat, (Have confirmed everything is gluten free) include

-Frozen Vegetables (LOTS)

-boneless skinleess chicken breats (LOTS)

-Tuna (occasionally)

-Mayo

-Yogurt

-Cottage Cheese

-Peanut Butter

-Cheese (swiss andcheddar)

-bacon bitgs

-cheez whiz

-onions

-liquid egg

-Canola Oil

-Decaf Coffee

-Splenda

-Tomatos (occassionally, I'm suspecting it might be this, because last day I remember feeling bad I had some tomatos)

-mushrooms

What do you guys think? I can't figure it out, but thanks for the time!

HI, im just finishing a gluten challenge after eating gluten-free for 2 months, i also have discovered a soy allergy as well, but i loaded up on the gluten for 7 days, and the first day felt fine, the second day like crap, but it really took about four days for me to notice my bowel movements have been 4-5 times a day but the D didnt really finally hit me until this morning, so every body bodies are different, i have seen postings here that some people have a bread crumb and they are sick, and some poeple it takes as long as a week for anything to show up.

GOOD LUCK

I know the feeling. I was hospitalized for diarrhea and dehydration in early March and have been to three doctors to figure out what is causing my frequent bowel movements, fatigue, weakness, myclonic jerks and numbness in the arms and legs. Acolonoscopy with a biopsy of the small intestine and all gluten blood work showed nothing-leaving a diagnosis of Irritable Bowl Syndrome-IBS. If you do have IBS, coffee, even decaf is one of the worst things you can do. I was also tled to leave off all milk products other than plain yogurt. it has helped with the bowel movements to some extent, but am a long way from well. There are many others on this forum, including CarlaB, who have much more knowledge that I. Maybe you will hear from them. There is an excellent IBS Forum www.helpforibs.com

that might provide help. Patty

As dally099 said, not everyone will have an immediate and profound change. That's true for when going gluten-free, and when challenging it later. It took six months gluten-free before I saw any really noticeable change.

One item on your list which stands out to me is the canola oil. Many have posted about having issues with that. I'm sure you'll get plenty of helpful comments from others.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
