So you’re already avoiding gluten and feel no improvements? Try cutting down Lactose and Fructose.
Many Celiac Disease patients are unable to digest other proteins, such as Lactose and Fructose (most common). Remember that your small intestine’s villi is partially damaged, so it does make sense for it not to absorb all the nutrients correctly as it should.
I personally recommend everyone to avoid Fructose and Lactose altogether for immediate symptom relief (so you do not have to chase down the intolerance). Those proteins are VERY difficult to digest by an already damaged intestine. Give your body a break.
Ingredients/Items to eliminate (I said eliminate, not to cut down) on a low-fructose diet:
- Apple
- Dried Apple
- Pineapple
- Applesauce
- Aubergine
- Avocado
- Artichoke
- Pear
- Blackberry
- China Kohl (can be tolerated by some)
- Pea
- Strawberry
- Barley (of course)
- Grapefruit
- Green Cabbage
- Honey
- Kiwifruit
- Lettuce
- Beans of all kinds
- Mango
- Orange
- Carrot (can be tolerated by some)
- Asparagus
- Tomato
- Lemon
- Zucchini
- Onion
As I previously said, you should also try to avoid Lactose if eliminating Fructose does not work. On the worst scenario, you may need to eliminate Lactose and Fructose to obtain symptom relief.
