Lucky! I feel like I get sick EVERY single time I go there- within 30 minutes! I watch the staff change gloves, etc- I just think there is a lot of flour in the air!

Definitely not eating gluten, that is for sure. Thanks for all this wisdom! I take probiotics already- is that not enough? The doc wants me to give a stool sample because they think maybe I picked up some sort of infection during the procedure.

Hello-

I am new to this forum, and appreciate ANY wisdom I can get. I have been struggling with undiagnosed autoimmune problems since July that have affected my heart and liver. I have had GI issues since I was a child, and my cardiologist recommended a gluten-free diet in suspicion I had celiac or intolerance to gluten. Initially, I felt a lot better on the diet, had more regular (bulky, daily ) stools for those months. THEN, a GI doc insisted I have an endoscopy (despite being gluten-free for 2 months) which I knew would most likely not show anything since I was refusing to do a gluten challenge. However, since he said there still may be enough villi damage to see, I agreed to do it. Ever since then, I have not had a normal bowel movement. Every single morning has been loose diarrhea, and discomfort throughout the day. This is frustrating- my diet has not changed since before the endoscopy, I am not being accidentally glutened. I have no idea why since the day after the procedure (3 weeks ago) my tummy can't settle down.

Does anyone have ANY ideas what could be going on, and what might help? My diet is very healthy (I have a nutrition and fitness background) with whole foods, vegetables and fruits, potatoes, lean meats, limited amounts of grains. I have little to no processed foods with the exception of nut bars like kind bars.

Thanks so much for your help!
