Help! I have been gluten free for two years and feeling good. I have still had trouble with anemia and three months ago started on a twice day iron/vitamin C combo. After a month of that I felt fantastic. Then three weeks ago I started having diahreaha and haven't stopped. I read where too much Vitamin C can cause this so I stopped the vitamin C. So far it hasn't helped at all. The only other new addition to my diet is Microgestin 1.5 from Watson pharma but I called the manufacturer and their fillers do not contain gluten. I live in Vegas so if anyone has a dr. who knows about celiac please pass that on as well. Thank you!

Maybe another intolerance has reared it's ugly head now. Some nightshades give me diarrhea, such as tomatoes. They make me very ill, within a very short time! I too, had been gluten free for around 3 years when my next intolerance showed itself, which was soy.

If you're sure that there's no gluten sneaking in somewhere (think personal care products, etc), I would begin considering additional food intolerance.

It's not at all uncommon for Celiacs to have sensitivities to other foods. Good places to start--soy, dairy, corn, other grains--and tapioca. I'm sensitive to it, as are several other people here. It's in a lot of gluten-free replacement foods.

Good luck with everything :)

Some celiacs developed an intolerance to the alternative starches they use once going gluten free.

If you are sure that you are not ingesting any hidden gluten, you might want to cut out fatty or carbohydrate filled foods as this might help.

Also try keeping a food/symptoms diary as this may help you pin point what is making you sick.

If none of this works, go see an allergist.

Good luck :)

Thank you everyone! I will try all the things you suggested and greatly appreciate your help.

      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.
