Gallbladder

Just curious how common gallbladder disease/removal is among celiacs. I took my 14 year old to the doctor today for her stomach problems and she told him her poop is green (she never told me that). He said that it is bile. I am now concerned about her gallbladder. I had mine removed at 22 and I think it made my stomach problems worse. He agreed to run the celiac panel on her though because I told him how well I did on the diet and he said it is a possibility.

Are gallbladder problems common for celiacs?

Yes gallbladder problems are extremely common for people with celiac disease. I had my gallbladder removed fifteen years ago. Somebody else did a poll once, and it is incredible how many people here had their gallbladders removed, many of them quite young, like you.

It sure sounds like your daughter may have celiac disease as well. Having her tested is a good idea.

I had my gallbladder removed in August. I don't know if my Celiac had any effect on my gallbladder since the first symptoms of gallbladder probems started 22 years after I was diagnosed with Celiac.

Yes, I had my gallbladder out December 2006. They promised me it would solve all my problems. The next day after I left the hospital, the surgeon said, no restrictions, eat whatever you like....I came home and made pancakes, and didn't leave the bathroom for a very long time. I went back to see the GI, and explained that something was still very wrong. I wasn't diagnosed til February of this year. Who knows if I really had to lose my gallbladder though :blink:

Had my GB out 10 years ago at age 30. Don't really remember having bad GI issues until a couple of years later though, right after my kids were born. Was then stuck in the bathroom for the ensuing 5 1/2 years (with screaming twins - FUN!). Until my daughter was diagnosed in '05 and I joined her on the diet and instant relief - no more troubles!

If I never see the inside of another roadside out-house with my kids sitting in the car - I'll die a happy woman!

When my son had appendicitis, the surgeon said that intestinal inflammation will cause bacteria to become trapped in the appendix and/or the gall bladder, causing severe problems. I have wondered since then if that is what has happened to many celiacs. My gall bladder was removed in 2004.

I had my gallbladder taken out in the summer of 2005... that's when my celiac flared up. Before that I was diagnosed IBS, spastic colon, lactose intolerant, blah, blah, blah...

After my gallbladder was removed, I pretty much lived on the toilet <_< until I went gluten-free after a positive blood test this June. So I'm thinking my gallbladder surgery was my "trigger." :angry:

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy.
