A Hard Time With Fatty Foods?


emeraldskies

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.....

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JudyLou! There are a couple of things you might consider to help you in your decision that would not require you to do a gluten challenge. The first, that is if you have not had this test run already, is to request a "total IGA" test to be run. One of the reasons that celiac blood antibody tests can be negative, apart from not having celiac disease, that is, is because of IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, they will not respond accurately to the celiac disease blood antibody tests (such as the commonly run TTG-IGA). The total IGA test is designed to check for IGA deficiency. The total IGA test is not a celiac antibody test so I wouldn't think that a gluten challenge is necessary. The second is to have genetic testing done to determine if you have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease. About 30-40% of  the general population have the genetic potential but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out. Those who don't have the genetic potential but still have reaction to gluten would not be diagnosed with celiac disease but with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Another possibility is that you do have celiac disease but are in remission. We do see this but often it doesn't last.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankles and went about to my knees. Every time I had the rash it would cover more of my body, so my arms and part of my torso were impacted as well, and it was always symmetrical. First I was told it was an allergic reaction to a bug bite. Next I was told it was eczema (after a biopsy of the lesion - not the skin near the lesion) and given a steroid injection (didn’t help). I took myself off of gluten about 3 weeks before seeing an allergist, just to see if it would help (it didn’t in that time period). He thought the rash looked like dermatitis herpetiformis and told me to eat some bread the night before my blood tests, which I did, and the tests came back negative. I’ve since learned from this forum that I needed to be eating gluten daily for at least a month in order to get an accurate test result. I’m grateful to the allergist as he found that 5 mg of doxepin daily will eliminate the rash within about 10 days (previously it lasted for months whether I was eating gluten or not). I have been gluten free for about 25 years as a precaution and recommendation from my doctor, and the pattern of breaking out every 8 years or so remains the same except once I broke out after just one year (was not glutened as far as I know), and now it’s been over 9 years. What’s confusing to me, is that there have been 3 times in the past 2 years when I’ve accidentally eaten gluten, and I haven’t had any reaction at all. Once someone made pancakes (they said they were gluten-free, they were not) and I ate several. I need to decide whether to do a gluten challenge and get another blood test. If I do, are these tests really accurate? I’m also concerned that I could damage my gut in that process if I do have celiac disease. My brother and cousin both had lymphoma so that’s a concern regarding a challenge as well, though there is a lot of cancer in various forms in my family so there may be no gluten connection there. Sorry for the ramble, I’m just doubting the need to remain gluten free if I don’t have any reaction to eating it and haven’t had a positive test (other than testing positive for one of the genes, though it sounds like that’s pretty common). I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice!

      Hello, just popped in my head to ask this question about medications and celiac? I have always had refurse reaction to meds since I can remember  of what little meds my body is able to tolerate. I was taking gabapentin 300mg for a week,  in past I believe 150? Any ways it amps me up not able to sleep, though very tired.However I did notice it helped with my bloating sibo belly.I hate that my body is that sensitive and medical doesn't seem to take seriously. Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.
    • Jmartes71
      I also noticed I get debilitating migraines when I smell gluten, wheat and its not taken seriously when it affects one in every way.Im still begging to properly be heard.I also noticed tolerance level is down the drain with age and life changes. I have been told by incompetent medical that im not celiac or that sensitive. Diagnosed in 1994 by gi biopsy gluten-free ever since along with other lovely food allergies. Prayers
