1 Month Today Gluten Free!


answerseeker

Recommended Posts

answerseeker Enthusiast

today marks 1 month for me! yesterday I had my asthma check up and to my astonishment my heart rate was only 75 (it has never been below 100) and my lungs were almost clear! I go back in 6 months again and my allergist will reduce my Advair dosage and eventually take me off of it! That makes  me so happy because this asthma has been very hard to manage due to the gluten triggering it. I've suffered 2 years with this and all along it was because of gluten :o

 

I'm not saying I'm healed only after 1 month but I am starting to see little improvements. My fingernails and lips are normal color, (they have always had a greyish/blue hue to them) and my breathing is incredible. I can actually sing again! My lungs were so hyperinflated that they flattened my diaphram and I couldn't sing without getting out of breath. I'm not a singer but love to sing none the less :D

 

now I have been on prednisone and tons of breathing treatments but they would only temporarily fix the problem. I'v gone a month straight without even having to yawn (that is how I would try to catch my breath) so I'm pretty excited

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars. Something to fill since sometimes I feel like not to eat anything. Especially if on vacation and unsure of cross contamination I figure go with a salad and protein bar to fill and play it safe.

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.
