Glad to help! Any dairy other than a little ghee makes me sick. I haven't tried the fermented cod liver oil to know. It sounds really good - I just found Carlson's on sale and figured I'd try that. :)

Thanks! If I take digestive enzymes w/ probiotic, B12, multi-vit, and cod liver oil do you think it is too much? I'm on the GAPS intro, so I'm not sure if it will affect the diet or not. Do you think it is essential that I take all of those, or maybe just a few? Thanks!

You are over-thinking this. Listen to your body. :) Try a week with only cod liver oil (which is really a food), try a week with more stuff. See which week feels better. Over time you will come to find what you need and what you don't, and it will be different for you than for anyone else on the board.

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Ello! You say you had a blood test for celiac disease after eating gluten for 2 weeks. Were you gluten free before that? Had you ever been officially diagnosed with celiac disease previously? You say the result of the blood test was 1.5. Can you provide the name of the test and the reference range for negative...

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      Surgery was in April 2023 due adhesions wrapped around my small bowel which caused blockage and had to be removed. Adhesions were so badly entangled that Surgeon could not cut out them, so the resection was performed. July 2025 started having severe yellow diarrhea and sometimes constipation. Just had another episode and was tested for celiac. Blood test...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      If your tTg-IgA was 28 and positive is at 3, you are nearly 10x over the positive marker, so the most likely explanation by far would be celiac disease. I also do not understand why your doctor would not want to run the blood test, which is the normal first step in the diagnosis process.

      Could Gluten and Alzheimer’s Be Linked? New Research Uncovers Surprising Protein Parallels (+Video)

      It should be common sense of their need to cooperate in the research, when I was at my worst of my gluten sickness I though I was developing Alzheimer’s because I was displaying 10 signs of Alzheimer’s; the brain fog that people get from eating gluten it is an obvious indication that it affects memory and the brain.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Ello! You say you had a blood test for celiac disease after eating gluten for 2 weeks. Were you gluten free before that? Had you ever been officially diagnosed with celiac disease previously? You say the result of the blood test was 1.5. Can you provide the name of the test and the reference range for negative vs. positive for the test? I ask because different labs used different reference ranges so scores without a reference range aren't very helpful.

      Surgery was in April 2023 due adhesions wrapped around my small bowel which caused blockage and had to be removed. Adhesions were so badly entangled that Surgeon could not cut out them, so the resection was performed. July 2025 started having severe yellow diarrhea and sometimes constipation. Just had another episode and was tested for celiac. Blood test stated 1.5 after eating gluten for 2 weeks. Lipase level was 120. Having an CT scan to check the pancreas. I have never had any issues eating gluten and now I am so fearful that I might have celiac. Has anyone had a small bowel resection? I am 65 years old. UGGH! I am still feeling bloating etc.

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
