Hi, I have had gastric bypass, but not the usual kind, and now am being tested for celiac. My GB was because of a rare cancer, a sarcoma, on the outside of my stomach (part of it had grown into my stomach). The cancer is supposed to be cured, but I lost the distal 1/5 of my stomach, including the pylorus, and my duodenum is functioning as a conduit between...

Another thing that should change is vitamin/mineral levels should improve. You could get those levels tested now and do a follow up later, say in 6 months or a year after going gluten-free. The above is of concern to my health providers and of course myself. I had them tested in mid September, and am supplementing. They were discovered in July, I supplemented...

As far as I know that was all the gluten I had because we ate a regular sized meal at home because our family get-together was Saturday. A few hours later I started...

So I'm glad (I guess) that you think the couple of teaspoons of flour...

Hi, I am to have the full panel testing in the near future. I have such a long story, where to start. I've had few digestion problems until I encountered cancer at age 60. I had a sarcoma removed along with the distal portion of my stomach, and I have a roux en y. That's been more than a year ago, and the sarcoma is considered highly unlikely to return...
