2.5 Years Gluten Free & Sitll Sick!

I have been gluten free for over two years. Just the last year I am now lactose free too. My problem that I am having now is the EXACT same symptoms I was having prior to being diagnoised with celiac, diarreha, stomach pain after eating, malabsorption, food sitting really high, bloating, etc. I have done every blood work out there. I am not getting eating any hidden gluten because they checked my blood levels for that.

Anyone else have this problem? I dont see my GI doctor until next month. I hate the wait. It is so annoying and I am tired of being sick. I can not go anywhere without having to stop INSTANTLY to go to the bathroom. It is getting embarasing. I just dont understand why I am STILL not feeling well, unless I have an allergy to something I am eating? But my diet has not changed other than eliminating the dairy. I even get sick eating my gluten free, dairy free, soy free bread. How pathetic huh?

Have all your meds been checked for gluten? Do you work around it? Have you eliminated it from toiletries etc? Do you often eat out? Do you live in a house with other who are not gluten free?

You may want to consider a different gluten free diet such as the specific carbohydrate diet. Or some other gluten free diet.

Eat fresh fruits and veggies (no potatoes or yams) too much starch for a damaged intestine

Fresh meat and fish

eggs (if they don't bother you.)

Keep it simple. Munch on carrots, celery, olives. apples, peaches, grapes.

Processed foods may becausing some of your discomfort.

Some celiacs can't handle any grains, citrus fruit, seafood, sugar, starch and dairy as the villi don't produce proper enzymes. It needs time to heal. Eventually you may reintroduce these foods.

It could also be another food that causes your body to have a similar reaction to as it would to gluten. Casein (the protein in dairy) seems to mimic the gluten response in many people. And lactose free isn't casein free.

I found after nine months that peanuts gave me the same reaction as gluten so I had to cut them out.

      The Happy Tart review

      Absolutely my point with Kerrigan, the owner. She stood to secure many years of faithful patronage by simply inviting us in for a pastry or lunch. Or by simply producing another $50 e-card based on trust. We would have been highly satisfied. We are limited to a few restaurants in the area, and that would have been one. It was very disappointing, esp to my...

      The Happy Tart review

      You would think any business would see the wisdom of honoring a $50 gift certificate on the basis of customer satisfaction alone, apart from any questions about software glitches.

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...
