Ok so ive been on the gluten free diet. I did feel better but not completely. I get bloated by milk beans, sugary things, and other things. My doctor didnt even inform me if i should take probiotics, and other things to heal faster. I was just wondering if u guys healed on its own, or will i also have to avoid to eat the things that make me bloat. And if i should start taking supplements?? Im just ffrustated, i havent lost any more weight. But i havent gained much either.

Vitamin deficiencies are common for those who have been malabsorbing and can cause all sorts of symptoms all on their own. I'd get those tested. Otherwise, a food diary could help you figure out if you have any additional food sensitivities.

Most doctors seem to know a lot less than the people here who have lived it, so you're in the right place.

Knowing how long you've been gluten free, if you've already had an endoscopy, and how well you're doing at avoiding accidental glutenings would probably help others give better advice, but what you're mentioning seems to be pretty common here.

Excellent advice about keeping a food journal.  Rotate your foods around and that means don't eat the same foods every single day!  You might research rotational diets.  You might have food intolerances (foods that bother you) and the journal will help identify them.  It won't be a waste of your time.  

 

If you already know something bothers you, eliminate it!  Milk bothers you so nothing that comes from a  cow (sour cream, butter, ice cream, yogurt, cheese, etc.)  You might be able to bring it back into your diet in a few months (or maybe never)

 

Why do you suspect a candida problem?  Is it just vaginal or do you have it in your mouth (thrush)?  If you do have a problem with candida, you have to eliminate or severely cut down on sugar.  That means all simple carbs (like white rice) and includes fruit (just a few pieces a week and pick a low sugar fruit).  You'll have to bulk up on tons of veggies.   Eat them for breakfast (I do!) an(d you will keep from getting hungry.  Eat plenty of whole foods like meat and veggies and your weight should remain stable.

 

You don't really want to go on this diet, unless you really do have a Candida as it's hard enough being gluten free.  For now, I'd just stick to gluten free and try to identify foods that are making you bloat.  

 

You can take probiotics -- they won't hurt you.   And if you have Celiac or a Gluten Intolerance it will take a long time (up to two years) to completely get well.  So be patient!  

 

I hope you're feeling better soon.  Being a new mom is hard enough!  

 

Hungry?  Have another helping of meat and veggies.  

 

Finally, were you able to get a Celiac blood test?

Im healing faster than i thought from candida. I didn't have no nail fungus, but i did have this mucus feeling in my throat, vaginal thrush, and white spots in my mouth. Ive took out carbs, grains and anything sweets, I'm also taking antifungals. Thats been helping a lot. But now I'm just trying to heal my leaky gut, by taking out anything I'm bloating from like corn,carbs, beans, rice, milk. Its very hard to eat like this, but i just want to get better.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
