Aly are you a C, D, or A? And how was your Celiac dignosed? If you had an endoscopy that showed flattened villi, you still have Celiac Disease despite your gallbladder test.

I have a similar story to yours. I tested postive for gluten antibodies so I went on the GF diet. No improvement, so figured I had Gluten intolerance (not celiac) and IBS. I still hurt all the time.

I also had a gallbladder Hida Scan done and my gallbladder is only functioning at 4% . However , 3 different doctors have told me not to remove the gallbladder. It can result in permanent diarrhea. I did go to a surgeon for a consultation and he told me he would remove the gallbladder if I wanted it removed, but so far, I have been going on the faith of my 3 doctor recommendations. I don't know what to do...I'm still not doing well.

I have returned to eating some gluten too..tiny amount of wheat, but some oats and barley. I figured since the GF diet hasn't worked, I might as well see how I do eating gluten.

Who advised you to get the gallbladder taken out? Did they warn you about the diarrhea?

Finally, have you ever suffered an eating disorder? I'm only asking because one of my doctors told me that anorexia can cause a slow functioning gallbladder, but when the weight returns to normal, the gallbladder will begin functioning properly again.

I have started drinking Dandelion Tea, as it is suppose to help the liver release the bile. Ours is delayed since the gallbladder is what triggers the release. Dandelion Tea

Are you going to get your GB removed for sure???

Finally, what type of Gluten Free bread do you eat? I haven't found one that is safe for tummy and tasty.
