Could It Be Something Else Too?

I have been gluten and dairy free (for the most part) for almost ten months now. And I am 19 so I should have healed up pretty quickly. But I notice I am still having issues with fats. I do not seem to be properly absorbing them, still. And I tend to get bloated with their consumption.

Did it take anyone else this long to have no issues with fats?

Or should I consider another disorder in addition with the gluten intolerance, maybe small bowel bacterial overgrowth?

I can't remember, Gfresh, are you taking digestive enzymes. If not, I would suggest you do, if you are, I am "fresh" out of ideas. :o I am 12 months farther along than you and at your stage I was still using the enzymes; in fact only gave them up about five months ago.

Hahah good one..

I've been on and off them. I'm on them right now, but my only issue with taking them is that sometimes food seems to digest too quickly (mainly carbs + fiber) and it tends to irritate my small intestine. Right now I am taking Pancreatin x 8 by Source Naturals.

What ones did you take?

I think I really only need pure lipase. I was wondering if a doctor would be able to prescribe that.

I think I would go to a naturopathic doctor for this. I find their assortment of supplements, although a bit pricier, has a much wider range of combination/solo ingredients. I took the full complement because stool tests showed I was not producing enough. The main one I took was by Integrative Therapeutics, called NutriVitamin Enzyme Complex.

      Worried about being isolated

      By Tanya177 · Posted

      I’m worried about cross contamination, as people don’t clear up properly. I take my own lunch in a packed lunch box with my own cutlery, plate etc and wash it all at home everyday rather than using the schools communal options. There is always crumbs or food left out for us to share on tables etc.

      Welcome to the forum, @Tanya177! Help us understand why you don't eat with the other staff members at the present time. I'm assuming you already pack your own lunch rather than eating school cafeteria food. Surely there are other staffers who bring their own lunches. How would this be different if you did not have celiac disease?

      Thank you so much and I am still very careful not to eat it.

      Worried about being isolated

      By Tanya177 · Posted

      I am a teacher in a primary school diagnosed with celiac disease 7 months ago. I eat my lunch in my classroom and pop into the staff room for a drink and a chat with colleagues after.  I have worked at the school for 14years.   I have been told that next year I am moving year groups and will be in another building where I don’t really know any of the other staff members.  The staff room in that building is tiny and there is really nowhere to sit. I am worried I am going to be isolated as by the time I’ve had my lunch gone over to the other building it will be time to go back and get ready for the afternoon. Am I being over anxious?  or is there something that I can ask for at work to help the situation.

      Welcome to the forum, @DJBC! Which IGA test did you get done. From the magnitude of your score (336) that sounds like a total IGA score, not a tTG-IGA score. Total IGA is a test for IGA deficiency, not for celiac disease per se. The centerpiece test for celiac disease is the tTG-IGA. If there is IGA deficiency, it will result in an artificially low tTG-IGA score and potential false negatives. There is another IGA test for celiac disease as well, namely, the DGP-IGA and there are also none IGA tests (IGG tests).  Did you have more than one test ordered for celiac disease? Can you post back and list them all with scores along with reference ranges? From what you have posted so far, all I can say is it looks like you are not IGA deficient but that doesn't say anything one way or the other about whether or not you have celiac disease. Here is an article outlining the various tests that can be run to detect celiac disease:
