Free Of Celiac Symptoms, But Suspect I Have...

Hi all,

Does anyone with Celiac disease have problems digesting fats (at least in the first year)?

Why I ask this question:

I've gone gluten-free in the past year. Last exposure (accidental, of course) was about 5 weeks ago. It was an exposure to 3-4 protein shakes (malted, but not on label!) that did a real number on me. I don't have the symptoms (excessive gas, etc.) of gluten exposure anymore, but I seem to be having problems digesting certain foods. Bowel movements are maybe 1-2 times around breakfast, every day. No gas, no frequent trips to the bathroom during the day, or anything like that. The problem is that they're often not solid (loose and floating <-- a sign of fat in stool, right?). It's like my gut can't handle something I'm giving it. I suspect it's a problem digesting fat. An extreme example is last night... 6 hours after making and eating an entire gluten-free pizza ( B) ) I was parked on the toilet as it painfully left my system. (I'm back to "normal" now)

Sorry for being graphic, but I think we all have pretty thick skin to such talk by now. Thanks for any input on this.

I do get very sick to my stomach if I eat something that is really greasy, possibly because I don't eat that way very often and I'm not "used" to it. Or I could have a problem digesting it, I don't know. Either way, I avoid greasy food!

I have the loose, floaty ones after fatty foods too. I haven't tracked it though to link it exclusively to fatty foods. Have been gluten-free for 4 months, last exposure where I injested it was about 2 months ago but I just recently got rid of some conditioners and lotions that had it.

I have loose floating stools also. Sometimes I can see clumps of lighter colored sections in my stool. :huh: I don't exactly know how to describe it but could this be undigested fat clumps??

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
