So after cross contamination nightmare. I am super sick. Trying to still go to work. Everything right now upsets my stomach. Any suggestions on how to heal faster or what to eat. I have been eating chicken and rice. Bananas and tea. Pretty mild stuff. Please give me ideas.

That's pretty much what I have to do. Broth and rice, bananas, tea. Applesauce and cups of Jello are handy too because they're so easy to carry to work.

I find Pepto-Bismol helpful and ginger tea or ginger soda made with real ginger can help nausea. Immodium if necessary. B12 seems to help my mental symptoms a little. I don't know why I seem so short on B12 after getting glutened.

Drink plenty of fluids to help your system detox. Also try to do things that are relaxing like soaking in a warm tub with epsom salts. Stress will keep your immune system going longer so try to remember that you WILL feel better.

I guess I need to be more patient. Will try some ginger. Usually peppermint tea helps but not much is helping.

I'm so sorry you're feeling this way. I can't offer anything Skylark has not already. I can only offer sympathy & hugs.

I find Cream of Buckwheat to be a good breakfast and quite soothing. It keeps me filled up for a while. I like it with cinnamon which can help keep my blood sugar more stable. Sweet potatoes also seem to help me digestive wise. Cinnamon is good on those too and they could be cooked ahead and reheated at work.

I also use Pepto for the stomach pain and if I have to leave the house I take Immodium. I do try to avoid the Immodium route if I can as I want that stuff out asap. If my joints and muscles are hurting I find plain asprin to help. I second the sublingual B12.

I hope your feeling better very soon.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Roses8721! How long were you off gluten before getting the celiac blood testing done? The testing is not valid after having been gluten free for a significant period of time. Many of your symptoms align with celiac disease.
