I don't know where I need to be so if someone can help me I will greatly apreciate it. I have for as long as I can rember go out to eat dinner run, run, home to the bathroom (outback, O'charlies, Tripps) I have been on a carb diet this year to loose some weight last 15lbs I did not try to loose as today I have lost 40lbs since easter look great fell terible. My GI doctor put me on Cypro and Flagyl because of large volume of blood in stool. It has cleared and I have a colenoscopy in two weeks my third at 42 (faimly colon cancer history). I have also had very bad dental problems runs in my fathers side of the family. I have come here looking for infomation i have a rash on my hands, back of neck @ buttocks. Biopsy came back negative for DH they are running blood work now. I have started to go gluten free this past weekend and have felt better no bloating or bathroom issues until tonight very bad smelling flatulance small amount of blood in stool and all of my stools are floating???? Am I in the right place??

How long do I need to be on the diet to start to fell better?

Thanks,

LBones

Welcome Bones,

That's how I was when I started here, just bones.

Your recovery will depend on the extent of damage you have had. And, that will depend on whether you have an intolerance, allergy or Celiac.

The diet can be very complex, especially in the beginning. Keep things simple as meats, seafood, rice, potatoes, fresh veggies and fruit. Check your meds, shampoo and lotions.

It is recommended not to begin the diet until all testing is complete. It will increase inaccuracy in testing.

Hi Bones,

The healing time varies. You may begin to feel better in a few days or it might take weeks or months. It depends also on how well you eliminate the cause of the problems. Gluten can hide in many foods where it isn't obvious. A very restricted diet to start out is a good way to go. All home cooked foods vs. bought in a box or jar or can is a simple way to eliminate gluten. Limit spices to salt to start also. Or fresh garlic.

      Hi @terrymouse Generally, after a Celiac Seriology Blood Test, if something anomalous shows up, the follow-up will be a Gastroscope. Your Endocrinonogist will be looking to see if you still have (Villi). Villi are Tenticles/Hairs that are prevalent throughout the small intestine; their function is to extract nutrients, vitamins and water. The absense of Villi will typically result in watery bowl movements, other telltale signs being, lethargy, feeling cold, always hungry (valuable nutrients are being bypassed). I was diagnosed 12 years ago. One other thing associated with an AutoImmune Disease, they generally have a companion, in my case I have Hypothyroidism, other may have...

      Thank you Knitty Kitty,   I have all the information for the nutritionist sitting in front of me, but I've procrastinated.   Between you and Scott - I'll contact him tomorrow and get started on a better me.   Thank you both for all the support and information.
