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.

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

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia and @Russ H thank you both for your helpful advice and information. I haven't seen a GI in years. They never helped me aside from my inital diagnosis. All other help has come from my own research, which is why I came here. I will be even more careful in the future.

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, you are welcome. After looking at this thread again, I would like to suggest that some of the other comments from @Russ H are worth following up on. The bird-bread may or may not be contributing to what you are experiencing, but it seems unlikely to be the whole story. If you have access to decent healthcare, I would write down...

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      @Russ H, I partly agree and partly disagree with you. After looking at it again, I would say that the slick graphic I posted overestimates the risk. Your math is solid, although I find estimates of gluten in white bread at 10-12% rather than the 8% you use. Somewhat contradicting what I wrote before, I agree with you that it would be difficult to ingest ...

The bird-bread may or may not be contributing to what you are experiencing, but it seems unlikely to be the whole story. If you have access to decent healthcare, I would write down your experiences and questions in outline form and bring this to your Dr. I suggest writing it down so you don't get distracted from telling the Dr everything you want to say while you have their attention.

Your math is solid, although I find estimates of gluten in white bread at 10-12% rather than the 8% you use. Somewhat contradicting what I wrote before, I agree with you that it would be difficult to ingest 10 mg from flinging bread.  However, I would still suggest that @nancydrewandtheceliacclue take precautions against exposure in this activity. I'm not an expert, I could easily be wrong, but if someone is experiencing symptoms and has a known exposure route, it's possible that they are susceptible to less than 10 mg / day, or it is possible that there is/are other undetected sources of exposure that together with this one are causing problems. At any rate, I would want to eliminate any exposure until symptoms are under control before I started testing the safety of potentially risky activities. Here is another representation of what 10 mg of bread would look like. https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/10mgGlutenCrumbsJules.jpg Full article that image came from: https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/what-does-10-mg-of-gluten-look-like/

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia thank you for your reply and the link, that is very helpful to get a visual of just how small of an amount can cause a reaction. I know I am not consuming gluten or coming into contact with gluten from any other source. I will stop touching/tossing bread outside! My diet has not changed, and I do not have reactions to the things I am currently eating, which are few in number. My auto immune reaction just seems so severe. The abdominal pain is extreme. It takes a lot out of me. I guess I will be this way for the rest of my life if I ever happen to come into contact with gluten? I appreciate the help.
