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.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful. My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel. they offered me an endoscopic biopsy ...

      Is it gluten?

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa

My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.
