Men Are Stupid

I knew that title would get this read. lol.

 

I went a year gluten-free and felt so much better and then over the last two months blew it. I figured the best way to get back on track was to shame myself online.

 

I recently started Paleo because I am also allergic to dairy, which I have been eating as well.

 

It is so weird how your head is on right for a period of time, you see the results, and then something flips and you go stupid...or maybe I am the only one who does that.

Please don't discriminate an entire gender for your mistakes, it isn't men fault that you lost motivation and got off track, you could have easily called yourself stupid if you needed shame so badly.

I do find it puzzling how we can self-sabotage so easy even after seeing and experiencing the positives and not missing the things you no longer eat.

My husband's friend Chuck always told  his wife and me that women were MUCH smarter than men.

 

Think about it for a few minutes and then tell me who was smart.

 

 

I have never sabotaged myself (except in my dreams), but I think we have all had at least a whisper of temptation from time to time. Chalk it up to experience and get back on that horse.

yup, the title sure got my attention!! :lol:

 

Chad,

I know you are a lot smarter than this, and I also know you have a good sense of humor, so 

instead of my usual  mother-hennish "never, never, never cheat!"  lecture...I'm just going to say:

 

You are only stupid if you do it again. 

Pretty girl. Ask her is she thinks you're stupid.  :D if she says YES, then you are.

 

Seriously, don't be stupid anymore. Don't make me come over there, young man.

Take care, IH

It's only been a little over 3 weeks gluten free and I've been stupid lol. I'm not a man. I've grabbed a bite of my daughters mall pretzel (who can resist those) and she becomes the mother. My 13 yr old daughter is the one telling me "I told you so".

This is not easy we suddenly have to stop the foods we love. It's hard for me because I haven't been officially diagnosed. My GI doc believes I have it but tests were negative. So it's easy for me to cheat and say to myself well I may not even have celiac. But then after that bite and the suffering that comes after, I think my doc is right

I agree with Irish...very pretty girl...ask her if you are stupid.  I'd vote for you are too clever to be stupid...just need to hard wire that "I want gluten switch" to the off position -- just a little does hurt -- so stop it -- thanks for the clever thread :)

 

Yes I am. :blink:

 

thanks for the giggle :D

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results. Thank you

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to...

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes...

      I have always eaten gluten and never stopped until my recent episode. I started more wheat products as my Dr. requested for the Tissue Transglutaminase Iga Antibody. mye result Value <1.0 Value interpretation: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or =15.0 Antibody detected I do not understand any of it. After eating all that wheat product my body...

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.

After eating all that wheat product my body exploded with all sorts of symptoms. I stop gluten ASAP. I am still in the healing process. I started having issues after my surgery.
