Shouldn't I Be Feeling Better

I was diagnosed with gluten sensitive enteropathy last month. I have been gluten free for almost two months. For the last few days,I have kept a food diary. If I eat food with fried foods, I have loose stools the next day with oil floating in the bowl. (Sorry, this is so embarrassing.) Why is this happening?

Are you frying these foods yourself or are you eating them in a resturant?

I am frying them myslef with gluten free ingredients. Haven't dared to go out to a restaurant yet.

It could be the oil or the coating you are using. They might be cross contaminated with gluten or you might have another sensitivity. The first thing that comes to my mind is soy. Does your oil have soy (soybean oil) in it? You might want to cut one or both to see if the reactions stop.

Thank you for your input. I've been using coconut oil lately for it's antimicrobial properties. I've been using it for about three months now. It has not bothered me in the past and that's why I don't get what is happening now. Completely stumped. Can the gluten free diet alter thhe body's response to other foods?

Have you have your gallbladder function checked? People without gallbladders or non-functioning gallbladders have trouble digesting fatty foods. If you were undiagnosed for a long time the gluten may have over-taxed your gallbladder. I had my gallbladder removed right around the time my health started to decline. I suspect it might have been the start of my gluten issues instead of my gallbladder.

Also if you are using something like a fry-daddy or old cast iron pans you used prior to going gluten free, these items may have traces of gluten still that are cc'ing your gluten free food.

Done some investigating. The extra virgin olive oil that I use to season my cast iron pan has soy in it. Does soy have gluten in it?

My pans are new. I threw away all my old wooden spoons, measuring cups, flour containers etc. Started fresh. Read about that in other posts. You all were a great help there.

Thought about the gall bladder thing. Trying to ignore it. Don't want surgery. It does make sense though.

Soy is gluten-free, but you could have a sensitivity to soy as well. Are you using a cooking spray?

Personally, I would stop eating fried food (even if gluten free) for a while until you've had time to heal. Your system is still most likely very sensitive. Eat as simply as possible until you get a better handle on things.

Thank you. I will.

i would agree your gall bladder could be having issues.. maybe you should get that checked with your doctor. also- i sometimes use a product called Gold Coin Grass.. i can only find it at: www.sensiblehealth.com in Canada- it's a Chinese tincture that helps to soften & dissolve gall stones, plus it helps the stomach to create digestive juices.

OR, your Small Intestine may not be healed yet. make sure you are 100% gluten free... consider maybe going Dairy free till your BMs are normal.... things like L-Glutamine powder mixed with water, & GHEE can help your Small Intestine heal faster.

imho- your BMs are a result of you not digesting the fat... a fat malabsorption- either your gall bladder or your gut is not healed yet... i had BMs like that couple of years ago

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
