Intestinal Infections

Is it possible for a celiac, who is on a gluten free diet and 95% or more of the time is gluten free, to have a bit of diverticulitis in the lower end of the large intestine? What kind of detox teas or foods or natural remedies should one do to rid a bulge or inflamed large intestine? Would there be other causes to this bulging that have symptoms a person should recognize and share with an experienced physician?

I suffer from diverticulitis. Its quite painful. Avoid heavy fiber foods, nuts, seeds, and corn (even popped) those get stuck in the pockets.

I have to go to the doc whenever I get a flare up for antibotics, because by then it's an infection. Warm baths, heating pads, chicken soup (clear foods/liquids, and light meals..like eggs or plain noddles, etc) and pain meds all help. Another thing is probotics, those will help the bacteria in there. As far as teas I like Chai as it helps the digestive track and the gut.

It could be something else, its best to see a doc. I wouldn't mess around with it, because it can get worse and then your in the hospital. (trust me on this one). :D

Best of luck,

Any number of intestinal 'bug' infections could cause bloating. I've been diagnosed and treated for 3 different bacterial infections (klebsiella, enterobacter cloacae and clostridium difficilie), one parasite (cryptosporidium) and one fungus overgrowth (candida). During and after each treatment (to kill off the bad bugs), I took probiotics (good bacteria) which also cause some bloating while they repopulate my gut to replace the bad bugs. So I can get bloating during the infection, treatment, and repopulation phase. However bloating PLUS pain PLUS either diarrhea or constipation usually means I have another 'bad bug' infection.

BTW I was also diagnosed with celiac disease and 6 additional food allergies 4-5 years ago. Contamination with any of my allergens (or intolerances) could also cause pain and bloating. However, when I'm absolutely abstinent of my allergens, I always suspect another bad bug infection.

      Try a multivitamin maybe it will cover what you are deficient in.

      Agreed, and I can't remember exactly and haven't got time to check, but I think my blood didn't normalise for eight years! For years I read this forum thinking why can't I get my numbers down - everyone else manages to.   But my gastroenterologist didn't seem to worry about it, which makes me think he either thought I wasn't complying to the diet, or he'd seen similar cases.

      Yes, being off gluten for 3 months would likely yield negative results. To get accurate testing redone you would need to restart gluten consumption for several weeks (the "gluten challenge") to the tune of at least 10g of gluten daily (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread).

      That is one of the tests covered in the article I linked you above.

      Antibodies to Deamidated gliadin peptides.  It is another celiac antibody test. The main test is the one you had, TTG,  But a full panel will also include DGP IgA and IgG.  I was positive on all of them!
