my doctor just figured out the cause of my yellow stool that ive been battling for some time now--i have celiac which i knew already, ive been 100 percent gluten free for years- so ive been compensating with the paleo/primal style diet-im not absorbing fats which is also giving me inflammation/ibs eye inflammation, weight loss, people w/celiac do not digest fat properly or in my case at all.. celiac sux big time...the new diet?? gluten free/low fat high carb to heal villi on my intestinal surface.. wish me luck , ill see how it goes light at the end of tunnel??
Jaya, if you've been completely gluten free for years, your gut should be healed and you should not be experiencing inflammation (from celiac that is). After all this time, you should be able to absorb fats and nutrients. Your recent symptoms could of course be TMS. But if it is related to celiac, I just wonder if there isn't some gluten sneaking into your diet somehow. Have you checked all your medications (if you take any)? Fillers and non-active ingredients can have gluten in them. Or perhaps you have another food allergy going on which is causing inflammation. I have a friend who can't eat wheat OR corn without having a lot of intestinal inflammation. I have problems with gluten as well but my body doesn't do well on a high carb, low fat diet so do monitor how you feel as you work with that mode of eating. Good luck - it's so hard to separate out what's TMS and what's not when you have a condition like celiac.
