Problems Digesting Animal Proteins After Biopsy

Hello everyone. I was on a primarily gluten-free diet for about a year, then symptoms got bad and i got a blood test and came back borderline for Celiac. Then went gluten-free totally for about 5 months and my doc/parents then decided they wanted to get me an official diagnosis...so I had to eat 4 servings a day of gluten for 2 weeks and now I have a m4 lesion in my small intestine and my insides are all messed up again. I am having troubles digesting anything/hair is falling out.

I've noticed that I'm probably lacking protein (plus probably not absorbing a lot of it), but whenever I eat turkey, chicken, beef, fish etc. I get this weird feeling in my stomach, like it's just sitting there and not digesting (or going really slow), and I feel very full for a LONG time and almost "bloated" without the gas. It's also kind of sore feeling, kind of weird hunger achey.

Has anyone else who just came off gluten experienced anything similar? I don't even eat that much at one time. It's starting to freak me out. I just want to be able to eat and feel okay!

How do you cook and season your meat?

How do you cook and season your meat?

Plain with hain sea salt mostly. It depends. Sometimes adding a bit of Eden crushed tomatoes for sauce or some ground mccormick oregano,mustard, or turmeric or fresh herbs like basil or rosemary.

Or for lunch meat I eat Organic Prairie Turkey, (gluten free/only sea salt added).

      I agree with @trents, but thank you for bringing this up here!

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.
