Besides high fiber fruits (esp. pears, apples, oranges), vegies (esp. brocolli, brussel sprouts, green beans), legumes (esp. kidney, black, lentils), I add rice bran to hot cereals, soups, spaghetti sauce or whatever can be thickened. Also check the fiber content of whatever gluten-free breads you buy. Look for at least 3 grams of fiber per slice.

Lentils - ~16g/cup

Black beans and pinto beans - ~15g/cup

Kidney beans, garbanzo beans, and lima beans - ~13g/cup

Green peas - ~8g/cup

Blackberries ` ~7g/cup

Pumpkin - ~7g/cup

Broccoli - ~5g/cup

Pears - ~5g/each

Sugar snap/snow peas - ~5g/cup

Sweet Potato - ~5g/each

Carrots - ~5g/cup

And that's without touching a single gluten free grain.

I've incorporated flax into my diet--lots of good fiber and a great source of omega 3's.

I think those may be chia seeds.

You have a whole new life - no need to follow the rules of eating imposed by anyone else. Fiber, and in fact all of your nutrition, can come from natural whole foods. No need to stay stuck in the mindset of 'fortified food'.

Did you have constipation as one of your gluten intolerance symptoms? If so, did the constipation decrease after you went gluten free? If not, constipation could also be caused by (1) other food allergies influencing constipation; (2) bacterial dysbiosis (low good bacteria which promotes bowel motility; or (3) opportunistic or pathogenic bacteria, parasites or even candida.

I had chronic constipation before I was diagnosed with celiac disease and began to abstain from gluten. I ate loads of fiber, drank lots of liquids and even took regular magnesium and vitamin C, which helped a little. Then I was diagnosed with and began to abstain from 6 additional food allergies. Abstaining from all those foods also helped a little, but not enough to be totally 'regular'. However, diagnoses and treatment for 4 bacteria, one parasite and candida AND taking mucho probiotics during and after treatment FINALLY resolved my life long constipation problem. I still eat lots of fiber, because I feel fuller sooner and stay unhungry longer, when I eat high fiber foods, but I'm not totally dependent on a high fiber diet for regularity, like I was before I eliminated all my other gut problems.

Sue,

How did you treat your bacteria and parasites? I had (or still have) bad bacteria. I tried berberine and licorice to treat it and had severe reactions to both.

My doctor said to increase my probiotics to have enough good bacteria to overcome the bad. A couple months after that, I tested positive for candida. I figured after taking such a high dose of probiotics, that I wouldn't have candida. How did you get rid of the candida and how long did that take?. I am taking garlic every day, eating no sweeteners or dairy besides butter.

I have been reading up on candida and it is advised to go off all grains, peanuts, starchy vegetables and fruits. If I do that, I really won't have enough left to eat to maintain my weight. I need to gain weight and not lose any more.

A friend of mine said she got rid of candida while eating grains, fruits and starchy vegetables.

As far as I know, there is no science behind giving up all those foods to get rid of candida and I personally don't believe in that. Take the probiotics and garlic, but if your candida is bad enough the only way to get rid of it is antifungal medicines. You cannot severly limit your diet that much when you are healing from celiac.

This is very encouraging. My test indicated that I had mild candida albicans. I'm hoping that it was mild that I am ridding myself of it. I don't know if it is causing any of my symptoms. I did read that it can cause insomnia which is still a problem for me.

I don't know how big a problem candida is really. But I have read that caprylic acid is supposed to help with it and it is found in coconut. You can also buy caprylic acid pills to take.

      @catnapt, I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them. Do you pressure cook your beans? Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking? Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production. Do...

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      so do you have celiac or not? 🤔 why are your vision issues undiagnosed? 😢 what does your ophthalmologist say?  do you have a serious vit A deficiency? what do you take for it? how long have you had celiac disease and how long did  it take to get a diagnosis?   if you are legally blind there are adaptive devices that will help you. I have vision difficulties as well but did not qualify (at least not yet)   do you have a vit A deficiency? why are you undiagnosed? what does your ophthalmologist say? I have a retinal specialist and he tells me my eye condition can not be fixed- until/unless it gets to the point of where surgery is safer since the surgery can leave me actually blind... so you want to wait til it gets really bad 🤪     I hope you find what works for you.    PS   the medication I started at the same time as the gluten challenge is obvious from the condition it's trying to treat. you can google it 😉 it is not an for any auto immune condition.

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me
