Eating Gluten Free And Having D

I have recently been diagnosed and am eating mostly meats and veggies, but I miss my pizza. I bought a gluten free pizza dough mixed and made it the other night. There is only my husband and I eating it and one package makes 1 very large pizza, so there was leftovers which I have been eating for my lunches. The issue is evertime I eat it, I have some D. Is this normal? Before my system was just the opposite with being blocked up all the time.

It happens. I have been Gluten-Free for over a year and I just had D myself. Sometimes I think we forget that everyone gets D sometimes celiac or not. Don't worry about it.

Cross-contamination can sometimes be a problem. Old kitchen equipment that was used for gluteny things or are currently being used for both can cause problems. I have found through allergy testing and dietary elimination and experiments that other food allergies can cause me GI issues. When I am free of all the food allergens, my system works great! I had no idea I had so many food allergies or that those foods could impact me the way they do. Individually, they are not strong reactors but the load is significant.

Perhaps you're allergic to one of the ingredients in the pizza. I was following the gluten-free diet and about 8 weeks ago got extremely sick. It turned out that not all products labeled gluten-free actually are. I also seem to have allergies to certain foods and oils. I put myself on the elimination diet and currently "feast" (joke) on rice and veggies. As far as D - my GI has me taking Fiber Con and it seems to help.

I developed a different pain (under my breastbone) about 4 weeks ago and put my foot down about getting a capsule endoscopy. I had moved to a new town/state literally the day after all my celiac results came in and my old GI wanted me to have the test immediately after I found a new GI. My new GI was not taking me seriously and I was ready to go to someone that my husband's colleague used. My current GI called me the day after the test (it normally takes 2-3 weeks to read) and did a 360 in his attitude and demeanor. Turns out I have an ulcer. I'm having a biopsy of it tomorrow.

If you want any info on the elimination diet let me know. There are also food lists under another thread that I can give you the link to.

Good luck.

Tricia Thompson did a study recently on gluten free grains and found them to be contaminated with gluten. Your pizza may have been similarly contaminated and your D might be a gluten reaction. It could have also gotten contaminated in the facility. Was it processed in a facility which also processes grain? Some gluten free pizza is more gluten free than others. You might be fine with a different brand. Hope you feel better soon.

Might I suggest that it might be the cheese on the Piza. Some celiacs, until healed, are lactose intolerant, but only until they are fully healed.

      Maybe celiac but maybe NCGS that was misdiagnosed as IBS morphing gradually into celiac. Is NCGS a new category to you? It shares many of the same GI symptoms with celiac disease but does not damage the small bowel lining like celiac.

      Oral thrush question

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Thiamine has antifungal properties.  The body uses thiamine to keep bacteria and yeasts from overgrowth in the digestive system.   Fluconazole use can cause thiamine deficiency.   Supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would be beneficial as Benfotiamine promotes intestinal healing.   Thiamine and the other B vitamins tend to be low in Celiac due to malabsorption.  Talk to your doctor about supplementing vitamins and minerals.

      Nutrient deficiencies despite normal MARSH and strict gluten-free diet

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome @Natalia Revelo, your experience is profoundly difficult and, sadly, not entirely unique within the celiac community. It's the frustrating reality of "silent" or ongoing damage that isn't captured by the MARSH score alone, which only measures active villous atrophy. Your normal biopsy suggests your diet is preventing the classic autoimmune attack, but it doesn't mean your gut has fully healed or that other issues aren't at play. The inflammation from your newly discovered milk and egg allergies is a huge clue; this constant allergic response can create a low-grade inflammatory environment that severely hampers nutrient absorption, effectively creating a "leaky gut" scenario independent of celiac damage. This is likely why your iron stores deplete so rapidly—your body is both unable to absorb it efficiently and may be losing it through inflammation. While the functional medicine path is expensive, it's clearly providing answers and relief that traditional gastroenterology, focused solely on the gluten-free diet and biopsy results, is missing. To move forward, continue the gut-healing protocols your functional doctor recommends (perhaps exploring alternative options to glutamine that won't irritate your cystitis), maintain your strict avoidance of all allergens and irritants, and know that true healing is a multi-faceted process. You might seek a second opinion from a different gastroenterologist who is more knowledgeable about non-responsive celiac disease and the complex interplay of food allergies and micronutrient absorption, but your current path, while costly, seems to be leading you toward the steady health you need.

      Blood results

      Have you had a DNA test to look for Celiac disease genes?  If she doesn't have any celiac specific genes, look for another explanation.  If she does have Celiac genes, assume they are turned on and active Celiac disease is progressing.  All first degree relatives (mother, father, siblings, children) should be genetically tested as well.   Sometimes blood tests are ambiguous or false negatives if one has anemia, diabetes or thiamine deficiency.  Certain medications like antihistamines and steroids can suppress the immune system and result in false negatives or ambiguous results on antibody tests.

      That was just the visual report, so need to wait for confirmation or otherwise from the results. They did take a biopsy from the upper end of the duodenum(D1). D2 looked unremarkable on the camera. Just wish we didn’t have to wait so long for the results as she’s naturally a very anxious person. But thanks so much for taking the time to answer me
