: After 4 1/2 years of a very unsettled and painful digestive problem,it has finally been decided that my problem is gluten intolerance-only 2 weeks of being on a gluten free diet has certainly made a difference.What I would like to know,is have I done any permanent damage to my intestines,and how long will it take for my digestive system to return to normal?The bloating,wind,pain and mucous have all gone,but I still have very loose stools-will they return to `normal`,if so,how long?
: Thanks in advance

Jill, I read your post reagarding gluten intolerence. How did the doctor
come up with the dx ?, did you have a small biopsy, and necessary blood
work to test for gluten intolerance. I have been going through the same
thing, and am in the process of starting a "gluten free" diet, per my
physician directions. I would be interested in speaking with you regarding
what you have been through. Possibly you could offer some suggestions, etc.
