So after a year of being diagnosed and still sick constantly i think i finally found a safe food. I make a soup of natural broth from chicken then i put chicken carrots and potatoes i eat this all day. How long after eating thing should it take my stomach to heal from fructose malabsorbtion? will that take as long as dairy? I know dairy takes a year to two or more in my case probably more. I know im missing vitamin c from fruits and when i get sick it takes soo long to go away. I also know my stomachs really damaged whenever i eat wheat i can feel the cuts on my stomach it sounds weird but i can feel where they are some of them anyways i know from my results last year they were all over. Supplements scare me because of all the ingredients in them i do not want to chance taking them and become sick again im finally starting to feel better again.

Chrissie I did respond and then lost it all....so here goes again.

It took me a few weeks of eating like this to feel a bit better. Another poster here then suggested adding in some digestive enzymes to help with gas and problems with fatty foods. I did so and it has really helped. After about a week on the enzymes I am now starting to slowly try other ingredients.

Today, as I am pushed for time at work and couldn't go home to cook, I ate for the first time some gluten-free bread, pb and a banana at my desk. It was great, and apart from a bit of gas as I forgot to bring the enzymes this morning, no problems so far.

I hope you continue to improve,and your soup sounds great. I need to make some more as it is fantastic for a filling and safe meal.

I've been regretting the gluten-free bread and pb. Had stomach ache later on, and felt a bit tired and wobbly/headachy, This morning my face is burning and I still have stomache ache. This seems like a cc reaction I think. I guess the pb (a new jar!) is probably the culprit, or maybe the soya flour in the bread, which I have otherwise avoided. I hope it doesn't get any worse as I am really busy at work. Back to basics for a while again.

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
