A Hard Time With Fatty Foods?

Recommended Posts

We just got a deep fryer, which I am happy about because now I will have a greater variety of foods with higher calories to help me gain weight. After eating these fried foods (chicken and donuts), I have had short-lived and insignificant reflux, trouble concentrating (only during digestion), minor intestinal cramping, and loose stool. I don't think I have ingested any gluten. The donut recipe was gluten and casein free, and the chicken was breaded with gluten-free rice flour. The spices were all free of gluten and casein, and the only thing that I hadn't had before was corn oil, which is supposedly safe. I don't think I have a corn allergy. My symptoms are also different than they usually are when I am glutenized--my gut isn't bloated, I'm not in a horrible mood, I am only having 3-5 bm a day (which is normal now. Before it was 30 with Imodium), and I'm not starving and craving the same foods repeatedly. It's possible that I am just reacting less to gluten now that my intestine has healed a bit, or the lower amount of bm's could be due to the fact that my thyroid hormone dosage was recently cut in half. Do any of you have a reaction when you try to consume foods that contain a lot of fat, especially while still in the healing phase? If so, what resulting symptoms do you have?

I have issues when consuming things that have a fair amount of cooked oil. I don't know what it is, but serious pan frying (more oil than sauteeing or stir-frying) or deep fried stuff just does NOT sit well in my stomach. I can eat a whole avocado in one sitting, or (back when I could have bread) put plenty of virgin olive oil on my baguette, but the cooked stuff left me feeling unpleasant, and still does.

Could it be your gall bladder?

tarnalberry: Very interesting. That may be my problem as well. I've always had trouble with fried foods but not baked goods or stir fries made with olive oil. I wonder what causes this?

Do any of you without casein intolerance experience this reaction?

Jnkmnky: I had an ultrasound on my gall bladder and liver before, and they said they were normal, but that doesn't necessarily mean I don't have a problem now. I was told I didn't have thyroid disease a few years before I ended up being diagnosed. I'll look into it, especially if these issues continue. I do have some of the risk factors for gall bladder disorders.

Yeah, I can't digest really fatty foods either. Modest fat at all times for me :) I've heard some celiacs can't even digest nuts much at first. I think it just takes the body a long time to heal before we can eat the heavy stuff.

PS. i had "gall bladder symptoms" off and on for a while last summer, they got really really bad for a few days and the doc scheduled me for a test. Luckily, I called the hospital first to find out how much it was ($1300!!) and put it off. Turns out my problem was caused by eating vast quantities of guacamole and avocados. I assume it was the fat content in the avocado, but I don't really know. I stopped eating avocados and the pain hasn't returned.....

      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! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
