I've been gluten-free for about 6 weeks now, and feeling quite a lot better, I haven't been medically diagnosed, bnut my mum has it and I think its been passed to me. I feel quite a bit better, the BAD flatulence has totally gone since the new diet, the 'C' is getting better and the feeling of fullness all day long is decreasing!:D I'm just wondering does anyone have problems with rice? It seems like when I eat it, it comes out in my stool(yuck I know). I've had my stool tested all came back ok. Also I seem to be more constipated after rice. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes. Rice turns out to be too hard on my gut. I'm on a grain-free diet, but I don't have problem with corn as much as I have with rice.

Ahhh okay thanks. Are you going to go back on grains in the dfuture? I guess gluten-free bread and pasta causes you problems then?

I intend to go back to grains in the future, but maybe not so close future. I created tons of several other intolerances because I kept insisting on grains and things I couldn't tolerate (now I can't eat almonds or flaxseed or too many eggs) and there's a lot of healing to do.

And yes, my diet is bread and pasta free. Basically I eat fruit, meat, veggies, eggs and juice.

My super sensitive daughter could eat white rice but not brown. Even white rice will cause her some problems occasionally.

I also have a question about this. It seems when I accidentaly get "glutened" I can't keep anything but meat (esp wild game) in my system. EVERYTHING else comes out without being digested. Is this common with everyone else?

Just a tip, it wont come out in one piece in your stool if you chew it into juice before you swallow it :!) 50% of the problem all of us have/had in the first place is not chewing food like those silly slow eaters we used to laugh at.. Who is laughing now :)?? not me that's for sure, I now eat slower than my painfully slow eating wife.

Maisie, yes the more organy and less muscle and in general more gross the meat the better it digests. Chicken doesn't digest as well as red meat, not even close for me. Fish is somewhere in between. Red meat seems to induce high powered stomach acid after a couple of days too. that's good, not sure why that happens but that's what it does to me. I actually ate wheat the other day for the first time in 3 years and suprise suprise.. it did absolutely nothing to me.. Got really sick as usual eating corn the day after for a crazy test though :P. Just proves once you have gone long enough to have no antibodies to something any more it can't hurt you any more either (for a while..)

After reading these post, I'm wondering if anyone has checked out 'leaky gut syndrome'? It's what gluten does to our digestion. It took a 10 week cleanse to repair my intestines. If the intestine repairs, then initially gluten and other offenders, in my case, casein and soy, don't seem to cause a problem! However, if you continue even an occasional use, the intestine breaks down again! Please look up leaky gut and please be careful!

Muse, 10 weeks is not long enough for someone who's really sick with leaky gut, it takes more like 9 months being very strict. Your body doesn't forget about antibodies to food proteins overnight. Your gut is lined with mast cells and when they see a protein they know about, it's all action to get rid of it... even if your gut is healed.. technically you will still get sick for as long as you have antibodies to the food protein. It's a months or years long process

      I have osteopenia and have cracked three vertebrae.  Niacin is connected to osteoporosis! Do talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with B vitamins.  Blood tests don't reveal the amount of vitamins stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system and can reflect vitamins absorbed from food eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Those "normal limits" are based on minimum amounts required to prevent disease, not levels for optimal health.   Keep us posted on your progress.   B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9662251/ Association of dietary niacin intake with osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women in the US: NHANES 2007–2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11835798/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/   Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8398893/ Nutritional Consequences of Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet https://www.mdpi.com/2036-7422/15/4/61 Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/

      Thank you so much for the clarification! Yes to these questions: Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!

      @JudyLou,  I have dermatitis herpetiformis, too!  And...big drum roll... Niacin improves dermatitis herpetiformis!   Niacin is very important to skin health and intestinal health.   You're correct.  dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs on extensor muscles, but dermatitis herpetiformis is also pressure sensitive, so blisters can form where clothing puts pressure on the skin. Elastic waist bands, bulky seams on clothing, watch bands, hats.  Rolled up sleeves or my purse hanging on my arm would make me break out on the insides of my elbows.  I have had a blister on my finger where my pen rested as I write.  Foods high in Iodine can cause an outbreak and exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. You've been on the gluten free diet for a long time.  Our gluten free diet can be low in vitamins and minerals, especially if processed gluten free foods are consumed.  Those aren't fortified with vitamins like gluten containing products are.  Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, medicine, or vitamins? Niacin deficiency is connected to anemia.  Anemia can cause false negatives on tTg IgA tests.  A person can be on that borderline where symptoms wax and wane for years, surviving, but not thriving.  We have a higher metabolic need for more nutrients when we're sick or emotionally stressed which can deplete the small amount of vitamins we can store in our bodies and symptoms reappear.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards. The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.    Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.   However, another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.   I recommend getting checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  More than just Vitamin D and B12.  A gluten challenge would definitely be a stressor capable of precipitating further vitamin deficiencies and health consequences.   Best wishes!

      Have I got coeliac disease

      By trents · Posted

      And I agree with Wheatwacked. When a physician tells you that you can't have celiac disease because you're not losing weight, you can be certain that doctor is operating on a dated understanding of celiac disease. I assume you are in the UK by the way you spelled "coeliac". So, I'm not sure what your options are when it comes to healthcare, but I might suggest you look for another physician who is more up to date in this area and is willing to work with you to get an accurate diagnosis. If, in fact, you do not have celiac disease but you know that gluten causes you problems, you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). There is no test available yet for NCGS. Celiac must first be ruled out. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. NCGS we is not autoimmune and we know less about it's true nature. But we do know it is considerably more common than celiac disease.
