Ok I have been seeing people talk about detoxing for the gluten please help me to understand what everybody is talking about. I usually look here while at work and really don't have much time to read and process what is being said, I don't have a computer at home to take the time. So please let me know what am I expecting to feel from eliminating gluten from my diet.

For me it was nausea for a good month or so. Others say fatigue. Hopefully others will answer. It will go away though.

Hi Donna -

Everyone is different, so you may feel what others do, or you may not. I was SOOOOO bad off!! It does take a bit of time - ( it took me weeks to notice any change) some even say then after 4 to 6 weeks you have a reccurence - and even some more allergies show up. Some people never experience any problems at all - even though the gluten is doing major harm.

Bloating

gas

bubbly, foggy, cloudy bm's

I felt extremely hungry - which before I did not even want to eat.

I was tired all the time -

major brain fog -

headaches -

body aches-

But, I now drink a detox tea - love it - I drink it once a day - has helped my get over a lot of my brain fog issues - even if I accidentally get glutened. I take great vitamin supplements, and drink a vitamin protein drink - once a day pro-biotic - I also elimminated all lotions, soaps, make-up and shampoos that had gluten in them too - and feel so much better - People see me now and can't get over I was the same person they saw months ago - I seriously looked like walking death.

I will send some good thoughts your way - stick with it - you will feel better in the long run!

Hi.

I had some headaches, but most important as soon as I stopped the ingestions of gluten and dairy in few days I noticed a change in me. Now I had been 3 months in the diet, and I am a new person, I'm beginning not to be afraid of food or eating anymore. I was very tired at the beginning, I had to take the vitamins twice a day in order to function.

Best of lucks to you. You will be okay, in a few weeks you will forget and your body will appreciate the change tremendously.

Best regards to you, and remember we are here to help, support, and most important to listen, when you feel tired start writing.

Take care.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
