How I'm I Suposed To Know What To Cut Out If I React To Anything?

I honestly have no clue anymore, one day I eat a type of  food and I'm ok then the next I get symptoms.

 

I though I was doing good with a rice mix with sweet potatoes red pepper,celery,salad and chicken well nope. Now I get bloated from all over my intestine (colon,liver,intestine) I been having this food for a whole week, and another week or 2 prior to that with just salad, rice, chicken and sweet potatoes (only recently added the celery and pepper). And every time I felt good until now.

 

Yesterday I had chicken in olive oil and felt my stomach being acidic.

 

If my colon react 2 or 3 hours after eating that food is it something I ate before? Crap I just dont know anymore and this is so frustration. I feel like im gonna have to try ONE single thing like eating sweet potatoes wait 5hours then eat celeri wait another 5, it's THAT freaking bad.

 

I never though eating could become so mentally challenging even more then physically.

 

Some stuff will give instant reaction then some will give reaction many hours later, how the hell do I know what is safe? It honestly seem like the ONLY thing that i dont react to is almonds or some frozen fruits and eggs, which i bet you won't last.

 

I had no constipation or bloating on my heavy gluten-free diet just no energy, consisting of cereal,bread and rice noodle, now that I added VEGGIES i feel like s$#& AND no energy.

It can be very hard.  You need to figure out how long it takes you to have a reaction.  My son and I are both celiac.  It takes him two days to notice a reaction and I usually notice the next morning.  Then it can be anything I ate the day before.  I keep track with a food/symptom journal.  I keep my diet simple and try to only add one new thing per week.  When I am reacting I keep eliminating and hoping for an improvement.  I usually show an improvement by the next day and again, it takes my son a couple of days.  It helps that we can compare with each other.  It helps to check with manufacturers for some change, for shared facilities, etc.  I also talk with my farmers at the market about their farming practices.  I use that information to decide which things to eliminate first.  It can be really challenging, but worth every bit of it when you finally succeed.  My son is now running when before he couldn't walk around the block without feeling sick.

      It sounds like you're dealing with a complex situation, and I can understand how frustrating it must be not to have a clear answer. Gut health can indeed play a significant role in various aspects of our well-being, including hair health.

      I have found similar benefits from thiamine. I was diagnosed with celiac at 16 and never really recovered despite strict gluten and dairy free diet and no detectable antibodies on checkup bloodworks. I’ve tried stopping the b1 but start to feel bad again- I wanted my doctors to do more extensive testing for the different thiamine transporters and enzymes which would be a better indication if I was deficient or dependent on it but everyone dismisses it (there are know genetic mutations where you need to take it daily for life). I have looked into Thiamine Responsive Megablast Anemia and I have a lot of the more mild symptoms of the disease that manifest when thiamine isn’t given to the patient such as optic neuritis… I just find the parallels interesting. i think that celiacs could be a side issue of inflammation that resulted from vitamin deficiencies. I was eating a lot of sugar leading up to my diagnosis and since eating gluten free didn’t make me feel much better, I’m wondering if this was more the underlying issue (sugar heavily depletes b1). I usually take 1.5g thiamine a day.

      Thank you for your welcome and reply.  Yes I've been carefully reading labels looking for everything in bold and have been amazed by what I have seen. However Heinz tomato and basil soup is wheat free so I m thinking I already have ulcers?  The acid could be causing the pain . My pain always starts in one place then follows the same route through me . GP confirmed that is the route of our digestive system.  So much pain from stabbing to tearing. If I throw in milk with lactose it's horrific.  Many years of it now, won't go into details but been seeing a consultant for a supposedly different problem . Wondering what damage has been done over the years. Many thanks for your reply. Wishing you the very best.

      Welcome to the forum community, @Fluka66! Did you realize that the vast majority of all canned soups use wheat starch as a thickener, including such common commodities as Campbell's tomato soup?

      Hello. Any help would really steady my nerves right now. I realised recently that certain food left me in agonising pain so eliminated from my diet. I also have a swollen lymph node. My very caring Dr did some blood tests and I went back the other day to see another equally caring Dr . She looked at the test results one result has come back with something wrong. It came very fast so I'm afraid I didn't catch what it was. Anyway the urgent referral to ENT. She did say as I had already eliminated gluten it wouldn't say anything on the results and neither Drs nor I were prepared to reintroduce gluten . I've just had some tomato soup and again in agony only thinking this must have aggravated maybe existing problems. Does anyone know what I'm facing now ? My swollen lymph node , pain when eating gluten and lactose and I'm assuming the acidity of tomatoes triggering pain.  I'm trying to stay calm and to be honest I've been in intolerable pain at times rendering me unable to stand up straight but I've always just got on with it . Guess I'm reaching out and would really appreciate any wise or unwise words at this stage. Wishing you all the very best as you live with this illness. Fluka66
