Doctor/dietician Appt Tomorrow...

Hello all. I am pretty new here. I was diagnosed with biopsy confirmed celiac a couple weeks ago, and my follow up appointment as well as a meeting with a dietician is tomorrow. I am very nervous, but hopeful for more information about my individual needs. I have been gluten free for 3 months, and feel better. However, I was still getting glutened frequently despite careful research and diligence to a gluten free DIET. I say it like that because my md suggested i check my daily medicines and voila! Gluten. Every day. For the past year I have been on them. I got them changed last week and feel amazing. My only complaint is severe indigestion after I eat. Like my stomach doesn't move the food out as quickly as it shoud, leading to fullness, burping like an old man. It doesn't feel like a gluten attack, those knock me out and put me in the bed for days! I hope it is just my body hasn't healed yet.

Any advice for my appointments? This has been the most excited about it I have been since diagnosis because I will FINALLY get some answers! Thank you all, browsing this board has been helpful in so many ways!

Hello and welcome, after reading this, your symptoms, the indigestion, fullness, and burping, talk to your doctor about gastroparesis (sp sorry) or slow stomach. They do have a very simple test for this, and basically you eat smaller meals 6 times a day, and they put you on a PPI for the indigestion. Again please just an observation, but be an advocate for your health. I hope all goes well for you, let us know how it all comes out. :)

I had thought that. Is it a sign I am still getting gluten? Or an effect of damage? I feel great aside from that!

Again just a suggestion, my sister-in-law has this and she is basically maintaining a good lifestyle with the dietary changes. And if your not having your regular gluten side effects I wouldnt think that you are getting gluten in your diet. Talk to your doctor about this, and your dietician they should be able to help you out. Good luck and again let me know how it turns out.

It could just be a combination of taking time to heal, and slow motility. It could also be that our pancreas is not producing enough digestive enzymes, and an enzyme supplement might help with this.

Make sure that your doctor is aware that he needs to check your nutrient levels if he has not done so already - things like Vit.D, B12, folate, iron/ferritin, potassium, magnesium. Also your thyroid function. These can all be affected by the malabsorption of celiac disease.

Good luck with your appointments. :)

      Could this be a new intolerance

      After years of stable management, developing new symptoms to historically safe foods like nuts and fish strongly suggests a secondary issue has developed. It is highly unlikely to be a new gluten issue if the foods themselves are certified gluten-free. The most probable explanations are a new, separate food intolerance (perhaps to a specific protein in certain...

      Could this be a new intolerance

      Nuts are a common source of food allergy reaction/intolerance/sensitivity. But fish usually not. Of course, intolerances can develop to any food, whether or not they are common ones. I'm at a loss here.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      Your doctor's recommendation to wait three months is very sound and aligns with general advice for celiac disease. While the acute GI symptoms resolve quickly, the autoimmune response and intestinal inflammation can linger, impairing nutrient absorption crucial for early fetal development. This three-month window allows your body to calm the immune response...

      Could this be a new intolerance

      He’s noticed it after having a few different kinds of nuts and nuts on top of a gluten free nut bar. and it’s happened after having some fresh caught fish, and tonight from packaged plain salmon from the supermarket. He has stomach cramps and feels the need to vomit to try and relieve the symptoms.

      Could this be a new intolerance

      Welcome to the forum, @Celiacpartner! Does this happen with all nuts and all fish or just certain kinds? And are we talking about products that are advertised as gluten-free eaten at home or things served in a restaurant?

While the acute GI symptoms resolve quickly, the autoimmune response and intestinal inflammation can linger, impairing nutrient absorption crucial for early fetal development. This three-month window allows your body to calm the immune response and for your gut to fully heal, ensuring you are in the best possible nutritional health for conception and pregnancy. In the meantime, focus on hydrating, eating nourishing, easily digestible foods, and resting—your body needs time to recover. It's a frustrating delay, but it's the best step for a healthy pregnancy.

      By Celiacpartner · Posted

      Hello. My husband was diagnosed with celiac disease 30yrs ago. He has a gluten free diet, with the odd bit of contamination when eating out or eating something that says may contain, which he probably shouldn’t but he seems to tolerate his diet ok. The last few times he has eaten fish and larger servings of nuts he has noticed stomach pains like he used to get when he eats gluten. After 30yrs of getting it right and knowing what he can and can’t have with essentially no major instances, this has thrown us. Could this be a new intolerance or an allergy and has it happened to anyone else after so many years? thanks
