What kind of rice are you eating? In other words, is it minute rice, parboiled rice, brown rice, basmati, arborio, short grain brown, etc? Have you tried Kasha (roasted buckwheat), millet, teff, or amaranth?

What sort of veggies have you tried? Like sweet potatoes, squashes, cucumbers, celery, carrots, green peas, beets, turnips, parsnips, spinach, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, etc, etc?

What sort of fruits are you able to eat, and which have you tried that don't work for you?

What happens if you eat various nuts and seeds?

Keep in mind that dairy might begin to give you problems even if it hasn't in the past. It really isn't very nutritious, and if you're looking for a good source of calcium, a supplement would be much better, since milk proteins are not easily digested, and can in fact deplete calcium despite the amount of calcium in the milk.

Are you taking any supplements? That sounds very critical for you at this point. Powdered supplements would probably be best absorbed.

Do you have anyone else eating gluten in your house? I'm sure you've checked, but have you verified that there isn't any gluten in your skin and hair care products, soaps, detergents, dryer sheets, etc?

have you talked to your doctor about the issue? it seems like anything with protein in it is giving you problems, and I vaguely recall there being something along those lines... actually, working with an allergist or GI specifically, rather than a GP might be more helpful, or even a nutritionist, as long as they're good...

with a diet this restricted, I'd be hesitant to offer specific advice...

I have mostly neuro symptoms and not GI. But years ago I had horrible stomach/GI issues. Meat killed me. And I was soooo limited.

But I started taking digestive enzymes and HCL and I was able to eat normally again. This is something for you to consider. Over time I weaned off of the HCL and I can eat meat now with no problems. I still take digestive enzymes.

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
