Crohn's & Celiac?

[powerbraid]

Hi - I was diagnosed with Celiac 1 year ago. The gluten-free diet isn't seeming to totally clear up the diarreha and I am having a "tight" feeling in my lower right abdomen. From what I can figure out, where the illium is?

Does anyone else have both Crohn's and Celiac, and if so, what were your symptoms.

My Mom has Celiac, and I have an Uncle with Crohn's, so it does run in the family.

Thanks for any help!

Have you tried cutting out dairy and soy too? These are problematic for A LOT of celiacs.

yeah, I have. Dairy doesn't bother me. In fact, yogurt and kefir are great for my tummy! But, yeah, soy I definitely have problems with and I don't eat it at all....

Do you know if you are carbohydrate sensitive? Maybe you haven't been able to heal enough to start making the enzymes to digest carbs.

That's been true for me, even after 15 mo gluten-free and 11 months SF. Now I am doing SCD and am responding better.

SCD is supposed to be good for both Crohns and celiac.

Im doing well with SCD too. It is worth looking into.

I think I am sensitive to carbs too.

After I was diagnosed and went off gluten, all of a sudden, I couldn't handle rice/corn/quinoa etc....

I just recently have reintroduced dairy (only in the form of goat's milk yogurt and kefir) and seem to be doing ok with buckwheat and quinoa.

It's extremely frustrating!
