I never heard a good theory as to why, but alternating D & C is very common at the start of a celiac's gluten-free diet. Happened to me.

It'll get better.

If you've been suffering from celiac's effects for quite awhile, chances are u have other complications like leaky-gut (increased intestinal permeability) and intestinal candida overgrowth. These will temporarily make other foods affect u negatively. Plenty of info on both w/in this forum.

not sure if related, but my D is always 100x worse when hormonal -- so your menopause may have a bit of effect?

hope you feel better soon!!! :)

Sandi - Right now, your intestines are still a mess. The diarrhea might be around for awhile, the intestines take awhile to heal. Taking a gluten free probiotic supplement is usually recommended, as well as digestive enzymes (always check for gluten free). I also take a gluten free, casein free fiber supplement, which was finally what stopped my diarrhea completely - well, most of the time, anyway. But that was after about 5 months gluten free, when everything else was feeling better except for that symptom.

My stomach is still somewhat sensitive; I'm not sure whether that part ever goes away. You may be finding that other foods bother you for awhile. When I took away the gluten that was making me feel sick all of the time, I started being able to notice what other things made my stomach upset!

Good luck and hang in there, eat lots of really basic foods for now (meat, potato, vegetables, fruit). Some people have problems with raw vegetables at first. Try not to overload your stomach, that has been an issue for me, even now it still is.

I had the same issue when going gluten free years ago....then to my surprise I learned that you are supposed to wean off gluten, not stop right away, and that I suffered MAJOR gluten withdrawl for about 6 months before I got better.

That could be it. Remember, your body is going through a HUGE massive change...diarrhea may be normal in the short term.

I never heard of weaning off gluten before. I thought a lot of the initial symptoms may be withdrawal, but also because your intestines are so messed up.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
