How To Heal Fast?

Hi,

I am 23 years old and I was diagnosed with Celiac over a year ago. I am somewhat better, but my energy level is not even close to where it should be.

For those who have completely healed from Celiac, what did you do that you think may have helped you heal quickly?

I've been taking multivitamnins, digestive enzymes, and iron supplements. I have also been exercising on a regular basis via yoga, swimming and running

there is nothing that will make you heal quickly. Your body heals at the rate its gonna heal unforcenently.

Have your thyroid checked.

Hashimoto's is very common with Celiac.

It totally destroys your energy level.

Be extremely careful about eating out and be vigilant about cross contamination at home.

Traces of gluten can keep you from healing completely.

Even tiny amounts can sap your energy.

Be sure you are getting enough protein.

The body needs protein to heal.

It's harder if you are vegan, but still possible.

Look at Mark's Daily Apple and consider whether Paleo is appropriate for you.

Too many carbs and grains make me totally weak and tired even without gluten.

The stricter I limit grains and sugars the better I feel.

It's true for others as well.

Eliminating basically all lectins (grains, legumes, nightshades) I have been able to start healing, and not until then really, unfortunately. But that is just my case.

I personally am finding a low acidic diet is helping me.

eat a whole, natural foods diet. Eliminate if possible manufactured and processed foods. Stick with the gluten free that Mother Nature made. Properly balanced frequent meals with fats, proteins and controlled carbs will increase your energy levels 10-fold. Whereas the extremely high carb manufactured gluten free foods will cause sugar spikes and crashes and leave you feeling less energetic and oogy all the time.

I was also wondering this very thing. Except im only 3 weeks out.

I do feel better, but still getting numb/tingling hands and feet, headaches and not feeling well.

Tingling in the hnds and feet is typical of low calcium levels. You might want to think about a calcium supplement with vit D to help absorb it.

Thank you!! I am taking 2000iu's a day of Vitamin D. A test showed VERY low levels before all this started.

I will call my Dr on Monday.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
