IT HAS BEEN 3 MONTHS SINCE I STARTED A GLUTEN FREE DIET AFTER GETTING A POSITIVE BIOPSY (MARSH 1), I WAS NEGATIVE FOR THE BLOOD TESTS, I HAVE SUFFERED FOR 4 YEARS WITH STOMACH PROBLEMS (IT STARTED AFTER AN INFECTION), I FELL VERY TIRED, FATIGUE, I AM WEEK, I HAD INSOMNIA, GAS AND BLOATING, AND MY STOMACH HURTS SOME TIMES, AND I WAS VERY GLAD WHEN I FOUND ABOUT celiac disease IN MY BIOPSY, BUT THE TRUTH IS THAT AFTER 3 MONTHS I DIDNT GET ANY BETTER AND I STARTING TO GO CRAZY, SINCE THIS SITUATION IS GETTING CRITICAL IN MY HEAD, I WOULD LIKE TO WHAT TO DO? RETEST? ENDOSCOPIE CAPSULE? GLUTEN FREE DIET FOR A YEAR? I REALLY COPE WITH ANYTHING AS LONG AS I GET BETTER, NO MATTER WHAT I HAVE TO DO!

Hi! I also had only Marsh1 on my biopsy and negative blood test. I'm on gluten free and casein free(milk free) diet for 11 months now. I found out that I had SIBO- small intestines bacterial overgrowth (my doctor ordered breathing test for it). It took two antibiotics to clear it out. Then I found out that I have fructose intolerance (again breathing test) which can cause gas and bloating. I can't eat fruit, syrups, honey, jelly. Only berries are aloved. People with celiac disease can have SIBO, fructose intolerance, milk intolerance or casein allergy like me. You can also develop many food intolerancies to corn, soy, eggs which can give you the same symptoms.

Maybe you need to check everything again for the traces of gluten, like tooth paste, mouth wash or medicine.

I gave you just a few points to look at. Maybe somebody will have other ideas.

Good Luck!

It may help if you could tell us what you have been eating? That might help rule out any accidental gluten contamination so you can make sure you need to look at other options, just in case.

Do you share a house with others who eat gluten?

Do you share cooking pots and pans or utensils with those who eat gluten?

Did you get all new sauces, spreads, condiments when you went gluten free? The old ones are more likely to be contaminated. How about cutting boards? Wooden boards and spoons are usually contaminated.

Do you keep your gluten free food in a separate place?

Do you wash your hands before eating? If you use hand sanitizer instead of soap and water, it won't destroy or eliminate the gluten.

Some things to look for that you might have missed:

- shampoo needs to be gluten free, if you ever rinse it and some gets into your mouth

- anything on your lips needs to be gluten free, like chapstick...or the lipstick/chapstick of anyone who kisses you. Kissing someone who eats gluten, if they haven't brushed their teeth, can keep you sick.

- lotion needs to be gluten free, if you chew on your nails/ lick your fingers after eating, that sort of thing.

- do you work/live near construction? a lot of the dust can have gluten, and if it gets into your mouth, it can make you sick.

Hy guys,

thanks for your attention!

I will tell more about my history and my food habits in order to find out what is going on.

I AM 26 Y OLD AND I HAVE ALREALDY SPENT MORE THAN 50,000 U$ IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS, so im little desperated, sorry for that.

1)symptons: for the last 4 years

Fatigue chronic, gas (eructation even in the morning with nothing in the stomach), flatulence, hard bloated stomach, diarrhea (it is not every day, but the consistency of my stools is always weak, no matter what i eat)

eventual stomachache, i wake up in the morning very exhausted, my mind is dizzy,acne ,dandruff,

2) what i eat?

in the morning: fruits: apple, pears, bananas, etc; coffe (pure), cheese bread, cereal bar (non-gluten),

lunch: meat, rice, beans, vegetables

dinner: same as lunch

i am gluten free for 3 months now, and i try to be casein free too. I DON T EAT SOY EGGS OR CORN, REGULARLY, I HARDLY EVER EAT CHOCOLATE OR SWEAT STUFF

3) MEDICAL EXAMS

i have done endoscopy capsule (found a some ulcer in the intestine), endoscopy and colonoscopy with several biopsy, the endoscopy ones showed marsh 1 again (i just got the result), BLOOD TESTS FOR CELIAC ALL NEGATIVE, and every other blood test is ok, excecp d vitamin that is a little low and i m taking some shots.

4)ANSWERING QUESTIONS:

Do you share a house with others who eat gluten?yes, i share a house with others who eat gluten, or even worse, i have to eat outside where i cannot trust because they dont know how bad is CC.

Do you share cooking pots and pans or utensils with those who eat gluten?

my mother says she washes everything and i dont take any utensils from others, but i dont have utensils just for my use.

Did you get all new sauces, spreads, condiments when you went gluten free? The old ones are more likely to be contaminated. How about cutting boards? Wooden boards and spoons are usually contaminated.

I DID NOT, i have to pay attention to this subject.

Do you keep your gluten free food in a separate place? yes

Do you wash your hands before eating? If you use hand sanitizer instead of soap and water, it won't destroy or eliminate the gluten. yes with soap and water

i will check for SHAMPOOS AND OTHERS PRODUCTS, to see if they are gluten free

I REALLY NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON, I REALLY THINK IS SOMETHING THAT IM EATING THAT IS TURNING MY LIFE UPSIDE DOWN.

I WILL SEE WITH MY GI IF I CAN DO THE BREATHING TEST, AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I CAN EAT THAT IS SAFE? MEAT, CHICKEN, RICE IS OK? I THINK BEANS CAN CAUSES BACTERIA GROW AND GASES

I DON KNOW HOW TO ELABORATE A FOOD CHART, SINCE MY SINTOMS ARE A CONSTANT, THAT IS, IT S HARD TO IDENTIFY WHEN SOMETHING IS INTOXICATING ME. I CAN SUPPORT ANY TYPE OF DIET, JUST TELL ME HOW LONG I HAVE TO TRY TO SEE THE RESULTS, I TRY TO BE STRICT TO A DIET.

I WILL TRY TO FIX MY GLUTEN FREE DIET AND I GIVE YOU INFO ABOUT THE ONGOING SITUATION.

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPER ATTENTION,

RAONI MURILLO MOLIN

just to check with you again - your list says "cheese bread." Is that bread made of wheat flour or gluten-free flours?

I'm just going out on a hunch here. My husband's step mother is from Brazil and the cheese bread she talks about is called pao de queijo (I hope I spelled it right). I make is quite often. I even made my recipe for her and she said it tasted very much like what she ate in Brazil. It is usually made from sour manioc starch/flour, milk, oil, eggs and cheese. I make mine out of tapioca starch/flour (which is similar made from the same root but processed differently). The pao de queijo should be gluten free unless there is some cross contamination.

I would try and get stricter at home about the possible cross comtamination. I would venture to say alot of her problems are coming from that.

Many of your symptoms seem to be fructose intolerance and if the legumes are bothering you it might be lectins. Some people cannot eat fruit high in fructose and some cannot tolerate legumes. Consider these two in addition to the SIBO infection possibility and closely watching you CC. I hope you feel better soon.

thanks you guys for the answers,

1)Yes cheese bread is the "pao de queijo" explained just like RODA told us. I will look for CC in every place I know.

2) I WILL START TODAY THE Fructose Intolerance Plan, I think the better way to do it is to use the low FODMAP diet, is that right? do you have a list of foods that are left to eat, considering that i will stick to the gluten-free diet.

3) I will TRY TO CUT THE LECTINS ALSO.... BUT my question is what is left to eat?

Thanks you guys,

'I look forward to help others, just it.

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable. The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body. So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days. Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte...

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine?

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine. Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine. Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats. Meat, especially organ...

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc. Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food....

      Thanks again for the detailed explanation. Just to clarify, I actually did have my initial tests done while I was still consuming gluten. I stopped eating gluten only after those tests were completed, and it has now been about 70 days since I went gluten-free. I understand the limitations around diagnosing NCGS and the importance of antibody testing and biopsy for celiac disease. Unfortunately, where I live, access to comprehensive testing (including total IgA and endoscopy with biopsy) is limited, which makes things more complicated. Your explanation about small-bowel damage, nutrient absorption, and iron-deficiency anemia still aligns closely with my history, and it’s been very helpful in understanding what may be going on. I don't wanna get Endoscopy and I can't start eating Gluten again because it's hurt really with severe diarrhea.  I appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed and informative guidance. Thank you so much for this detailed and thoughtful response. I really appreciate you pointing out the relationship between anemia and antibody patterns, and how the high DGP IgG still supports celiac disease in my case. A gluten challenge isn’t something I feel safe attempting due to how severe my reactions were, so your suggestion about genetic testing makes a lot of sense. I’ll look into whether HLA testing is available where I live and discuss it with my doctor. I also appreciate you mentioning gastrointestinal beriberi and thiamine deficiency. This isn’t something any of my doctors have discussed with me, and given my symptoms and nutritional history, it’s definitely worth raising with them. I’ll also ask about correcting deficiencies more comprehensively, including B vitamins alongside iron. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to help. I’ll update the forum as I make progress.

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!
