Diet Change And Recovery- Question

hello-

I have been gluten free for almost 2 months and after getting an extensive battery of tests performed (blood, stool, saliva) I have been placed on a pretty strict diet and cannot consume eggs, dairy, gluten or soy as well as other foods that I am allergic to (according to the blood test) . i was diagnosed with colonic inflammation, mild leaky gut, mild candida overgrowth and I am taking the following supplements per the recommendation of my doctor:

1. seacure

2. parabiotic

3. proboulardii

4. biogest enzymes

5. acacia fiber

6. glutamine

once i started taking the supplements i felt pretty good and was starting to have somewhat normal and regular bowel movements again. FYI i have had chronic constipation for 5 years, which was my biggest problem. anyway, after being on the supplements for a few weeks i noticed that i am starting to get constipated again w/ hard stools and bloat. does anyone know why this is happening if all these supplements and lifestyle changes are supposed to help? my doctor said its because my flora is changing and that it is normal, but its still frustrating sine i thought I was finally on the mend. i'd appreciate some feedback from you guys. Thanks so much for your time

Regards,

jason

are you getting enough water?

are you eating sugars and sugary fruits/starchy veggies? (feeds yeast/bacteria) - makes me bloat

hidden dairy/soy/gluten/egg?

If you eat lots of fiber, make sure you drink lots of water.

anyway, probably not helpful....but those are my thoughts.

Have you checked to be absolutely certain that the supplements you are taking are gluten-free/CF/SF? Don't trust that they were just because the doctor that diagnosed the intolerances has told you the ones to take. Check with the companies that make them.

what about sugar?

what about acid/alkaline balance?

what about exercise?

what about stress?

any of those sound like maybe a direction to investigate?

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
