 I know why I did it but I regret it anyway. :unsure:  I was reading all the postives about how after some healing time, one might be able to re introduce corn or dairy or soy etc...

 

So I got an Udi's hamburger roll...knowing full well it is full of corn solids... and.. UGH!!!  :( :( :( :( :( :(   My tummy hurts SO BADLY, and I threw it all up in a gelatinous mess of mucous.

 

Well, at least I now know.  I am just really sad about it. I got a bit excited in the back part of my head about the possibility. I guess you all do not really need to know and I am just writing this as some form of relief.

It takes time. But you didn't really do anything wrong (except maybe jump the gun.) I tried the things I used to be intolerant to several times before I met with success.

 

The good news is that your symptoms most likely won't last as long as a glutening would. I hope you're feeling better soon. :)

You may be able to try again one day; just give it a year or so first.

 

Feel better.  :)

Ah , I am not so sure.  It has already been over a year now. Maybe I will give it another go NEXT year HAH~!  That was really painful and I am glad it is over. All I was able to eat yesterday after that pain was a bowl of mashed potatoes. Its so strange to know that food can hurt a person so much. I am starting to think that I AM one of those super sensitive people. A glutening puts me down for 4-5 days. Corn and soy...or what I like to refer to as food poisoning, only puts me down for a day. It just puts me down so hard! I end up squirming around in pain on the sofa pleading for death. LOL *sighs*

About eight months before I got corn back I was exposed to corn and literally thought I was going to die. My core body temp dropped, I was having a cross between muscle spasms and what felt like seizures. I wanted to call an ambulance but couldn't even make it to the phone. I was sure at that point that I would never be able to eat corn.

 

But now I can. As I said, it took three and a half years and in the meantime I ate whole foods. It was hard to accept but I chose to look at food as a necessary bodily function rather than as a pleasure. I had one treat that I could look forward to at the end of the day - an all natural ice cream sweetened with sugar instead of corn syrup. It got me through.

 

If you can find one thing that you really enjoy eating to reward yourself at the end of the day I'm sure it will help. And given enough time, you WILL get these other things back.

Ah, You guys really make me feel much more positive about it all. Thank you so much. I needed that. I generally eat whole foods. My family is so used to it that if I try and feed the boyfriend a pre-made store meal because Ive no time to cook and he devours 3000+ calories a day.... haha he makes a scrunched up face, sticks his tongue out and says "EWWW what IS this?". He is the only one that can eat that way in this house though. He tried to go grain free with us a few months ago but he lost so much weight it was scary so there is now a special cabinet of rice, bread, and pasta and their own pots and knives etc, just for him.

 

I do not really need a reward. Sometimes I swing back a Naked Juice for dessert but ..really, it is not a thing.  I was just thinking of how much easier and cheaper life would be. If I could keep down Udi's OH WOW, no more bread making, no more paying $8 for Against the Grain baguettes, it would have just been easier. Ah well.  Corn though?  Corn is in EVERYTHING. GAH! I am so glad I have no candy addictions! Whole foods is almost the ONLY way to avoid corn. Same for soy. just.. GAH!

Just began eliminating corn and dairy and it is challenging. I just read that at my age, 67 it will take longer to heal than a young person. I was undiagnosed for 30 years so my gut was a mess and it makes sense that healing will take a while. I was gluten-free for a few years then got off track and now have 6 months clear.

OP, do you have access to Canyon Bakehouse bread? I think that brand is corn free.

I do not know that I exactly qualify as young. I will be turning 39 here very soon. I am going to give it another go next year though. I have my daughter going for a panel soon. I am 99% sure she has it too and I do not ever want her to end up in these shoes someday!

Ohhh Never heard of them.  I will check for it the next time I go to whole foods. I am guessing it will cost roughly the same as the against the grain gourmet though. Who knows!  I will look it up on google too as I cant do sorghum either. The only grain I seem to be alright with is rice.

It depends on your area. When our grocery store had it, it was around $5 per loaf if I remember right.

      Well, that's a big question. When he was seeing the nutrition response testing dr. that changed each time we went in. He hasn't been seeing him regularly for theist ten months. When he had a horribly week in March I started him back on the 4 that were suggested to keep him on. Those are: Standard Process Chlorophyll Complex gluten-free, SP A-F Betafood gluten-free, SP Tuna Omega-3 Oil gluten-free, And Advanced Amino Formula. He also takes a one a day from a company called Forvia (multivitamin and mineral) and Probiotic . Recently he had to start Vitamin D as well as he was deficient.

      Thank you again for your reply and comments which I have read carefully as I appreciate any input at this stage. I'm tending to listen to what my body wants me to do, having been in agony for many years any respite has been welcome and avoiding all wheat and lactose has thankfully brought this.  When in pain before I was seen by a number of gynacologists as I had 22 fibroids and had an operation 13 years ago to shrink them . However the pain remained and intensified to the point over the years where I began passing out. I was in and out of a&e during covid when waiting rooms where empty. My present diet is the only thing that's given me any hope for the future. As I say I had never heard of celiac disease before starting so I guess had this not come up in a conversation I would just have carried on. It was the swollen lymph node that sent me to a boots pharmacist who immediately sent me to a&e where a Dr asked questions prescribed antibiotics and then back to my GP. I'm now waiting for my hospital appointment . Hope this answers your question. I found out more about the disease because I googled something I wouldn't normally do, it did shed light on the disease but I also read some things that this disease can do. On good days I actually hope I haven't got this but on further investigation my mother's side of the family all Celtic have had various problems 're stomach pain my poor grandmother cried in pain as did her sister whilst two of her brother's survived WW2 but died from ulcers put down to stress of fighting.  Wishing you well with your recovery.  Many thanks

      Welcome to the forum, @Nacina, What supplements is your son taking?

      @BluegrassCeliac, I'm agreeing.  It's a good thing taking magnesium. And B vitamins. Magnesium and Thiamine work together.  If you supplement the B vitamins which include Thiamine, but don't have sufficient magnesium, Thiamine won't work well.  If you take Magnesium, but not Thiamine, magnesium won't work as well by itself. Hydrochlorothiazide HCTZ is a sulfonamide drug, a sulfa drug.  So are proton pump inhibitors PPIs, and SSRIs. High dose Thiamine is used to resolve cytokine storms.  High dose Thiamine was used in patients having cytokine storms in Covid infections.  Magnesium supplementation also improves cytokine storms, and was also used during Covid. How's your Vitamin D?

      Hi,   Not saying Thiamine (B1) couldn't be an issue as well, but Mg was definitely the cause of my problems. It's the only thing that worked. I supplemented with B vitamins, but that didn't change anything, in fact they made me sick. Mg stopped all my muscle pain (HCTZ) within a few months and fixed all the intestinal problems HCTZ caused as well. Mom has an allergy to some sulfa drugs (IgG Celiac too), but I don't think I've ever taken them. Mg boosted my energy as well. It solved a lot of problems. I take 1000mg MgO a day with no problems. I boost absorption with Vitamin D. Some people can't take MgO,  like mom, she takes Mg Glycinate. It's one of those things that someone has try and find the right form for themselves. Everyone's different. Mg deficiency can cause anxiety and is a treatment for it. A pharmacist gave me a list of drugs years ago that cause Mg deficiency: PPIs, H2 bockers, HCTZ, some beta blockers (metoprolol which I've taken -- horrible side effects), some anti-anxiety meds too were on it. I posted because I saw he was an IgG celiac. He's the first one I've seen in 20 years, other than my family. We're rare. All the celiacs I've met are IgA. Finding healthcare is a nightmare. Just trying to help. B
