Trouble With All Grains

Hi there

it seems since my diagnosis I am having trouble with all grains, rice, buckwheat, amaranth etc.

Has anyone else had these problems at first and will it gradually go away?

I have never had issues with grains except for those containing insoluble fiber.

But I would not be too concerned, it doesn't seem that unlikely and many people do have issues with most grains when initially going gluten free. Just avoid them for a while and slowly reintroduce them back into your diet. I'd recommending starting with white rice. You really do not need them to be healthy anyway, it just takes more work since all your carbs have to come from fruits and vegetables.

The problem should eventually resolve itself, just be patient, give it time, and listen to your body. There is not set time, only you can know.

You are welcome. Someone (Momma Goose!) was nice enough to me to answer nearly all my questions. She was/is an expert on everything Celiac. So, I feel I owe something to the community since they have been so great to me. If you have any further questions feel free to PM me.

I have a problem with all grains too. I only eat rice..

rice pasta, rice bread...you get the idea...

When, I started eating gluten free..every grain irritated me immensely.

Have you tried Millet??? I can't eat it, but lots of other people hear eat it.

Maybe, it will go away in time for you...

I believe your issues with other grains are probably due to the insoluble fiber content - it is very rough on the digestive tract, scraping it clean. Do you have issues with cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and lettuce as well?

I have problems with all grains but since I started the SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet) I no longer miss them. I do my baking with almond flour.

I have seen studies that suggest some do not heal on only a gluten free diet but perhaps this is just a stage and you will be able to reintroduce them later on. :)

I am having some problems with broccoli and lettuce, what can I do to help that?

Unfortunately not much. The only thing you can really do is minimize your intake of them as much as possible and give yourself time to heal until you can tolerate them again.

I, personally have just replaced broccoli and lettuce with carrots and peas. Arguably just as healthy and they contain no insoluble fiber. Potatoes and sweet potatoes without the skin are also very easy on the system and very nutritious as well.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
