What Is Normal

Thank you all for your help so far.

1.) Is it normal to have some setbacks (stomach pain) while you are healing even if you haven't take in Gluten. Been having 2 goods days then 1 bad. Have eaten mostly white rice and grilled chicken/ground lean beef.

2.) What is considered diahrrea? After researching I am even more confused? Not trying to be a wise guy, but the term loose stools?

3.) Anyone else have stomach growls while healing?

Once a coworker told me I have the loudest stomach on record. I joke about it now. My stomach just makes a lot of noise. :P

Your system will settle down once you are gluten-free for a few months. Then you will see what is normal for you.

When I officially went gluten free I had really bad stomach pains the first month even though I was not consuming any gluten. While your healing you do go through A LOT of stuff...stomach pains, mood swings, aches and pains the list goes on. It does get better so hang in there, give it some time.

Good Luck :)

It can take a while to heal and to ferret out all the gluten sources that can sneak in. For me stomach growling is directly connected to gluten. It will tell me loudly within a couple hours that I am in for a couple of rough days. My tummy growled so much since childhood that I stopped eating in the morning before I went to school in grammar school. Most folks tummies would growl when hungrey, mine would growl AFTER I ate. It took a few months for the noises to stop gluten-free but stop they did. The most helpful thing for me after being gluten-free for the stomach pain was Pepto Bismal, it works for me in one dose for the pain. Don't know if it is something you may want to try but figured I would mention it.

It's possible your tummy/system (it's actually your intestines gurgling most likely) doesn't like heavy carbs like rice/potato/bread. Could you try having your meat with a salad for a few days and see if that helps? (Salad w/o any dried fruit or croutons or high sugar/starch things.) Or some cooked veggies (not corn or potato or squash)?

I don't do well on rice at all. I know for lots of folks it's a comfort tummy food; but it bugs my digestive system.

      My only proof

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12. Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins. Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer. The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time. Pyridoxine B 6 can...

      My only proof

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron. I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment. The cow's body builds that Casein protein. It doesn't come from wheat. Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people. This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response). It is not lactose intolerance...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Wheatwacked, what exactly did you intend when you stated that wheat is incorporated into the milk of cows fed wheat? Obviously, the gluten would be broken down by digestion and is too large a molecule anyway to cross the intestinal membrane and get into the bloodstream of the cow. What is it from the wheat that you are saying becomes incorporated into the...

      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes!

I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!
