Happy Tummy :) And I'm Happy.

Good Morning.

Have been trying gluten free for the past 5 days. So far it is brilliant! Tummy is much happier and though I am still feeling really tired, also no nausea. Am also on acid blockers now (have 1 month prescription), so that would be helping with the reflux and hyperacidity.

Is it usual to have such a rapid response? This seems almost too good to be true...

Regardless of what my results say I am sticking with this...

Have a great day! I am. :)

Yes! It can definitely happen that quickly, although it can be anywhere from days to weeks, to months for some people. It just depends.

For me it was like somebody flipped a switch. Literally within a day or two. It sounds so odd and unreal to look back on all those years of suffering when the answer was so close.

I'm so glad you and your tummy are feeling better. :D

i had a few really good days maybe 4-5 then got a few bad days and then went back to good. but I eliminated the processed food after my setback and that kept it brief i believe. Way to go on feeling better, its the best knowing that your diet is 'fixing' you and not some pill :)

congrats on the progress!

Yep, it's possible. Like Nantzie said, I felt like someone had "flipped a switch" and felt noticeably better on the second day and even better after that. I had some rough days every once in a while for a few months, but I think that was more due to still being glutened occasionally.

Congrats on feeling better!

Absolutely it is possible to have such a rapid response. Your body is saying thank you, thank you , thank you. Keep it up and keep us updated. I took a stomach/reflux medicine for the first couple of weeks on the diet but didn't need it after that as the diet took care of everything. Good luck.

Congrats on feeling better!! My tummy problems also went away within a week. I am still struggling with tiredness (it's been 2ish months), but it's much better than it was. YAY!

Happy to hear you are doing better, too. I used to have constant pain, and it ended within a few days. It has been 3 months and I would never turn back. Keep up the good work.

I'm glad that you're feeling better. I started feeling better right away too. Of course I have messed that up by eating a piece of cake yesterday. But, never again. Pain is not something I enjoy.

Congrats! I'm happy you're feeling better. I, too, felt immediately better for about a month. Then I got sick and felt awful again, but still better than I was pre-gluten-free. You will probably still have some bad days, but hopefully they'll be few and far between.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      For my Vit D3 deficiency it was recommended to take with Vit K2 (MK7) with the Vit D. The Vit K2 helps absorption of Vit D3. Fat also helps with absorption. I take Micro Ingredients Vit D3 5000 IU with Vit K2 100 micrograms (as menaquinone:MK-7). Comes in soft gels with coconut oil. Gluten free but not certified gluten free. Soy free, GMO free.

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.

Even though celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are, technically speaking, not allergic responses, it would seem, nonetheless, appropriate to include "gluten" in that list for the present purpose. That would insure that food companies would be consistent with including this information in labeling. Best estimates are that 1% of the general population, many undiagnosed of course, have celiac disease and more than that are gluten sensitive."

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.  Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years.  Doctor recently said to not stop.  My 25(OH)D is around 200 nmol/L (80 ng/ml) but it took about six years to get there.  Increasing vitamin D also increases absorption of Calcium. A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1
