Not Feeling Well...

Since Saturday, I have not felt well. I had decided to try an idea for a pizza sauce recipe and despite it not turning out like i wanted, my body did not like it one bit (milk, butter and cheese, with a little corn starch and salt and pepper). I normally have no issues with dairy, with the exception of butter (too fatty?). I can drink 3 big glasses of 2% milk with no issues and eat quite a bit of cheese and not have a problem.

 

So from Saturday night to Sunday, I was ill. Nothing too terrible, but I had no energy and my stomach wasn't agreeing.

 

Monday I felt much better and thought I'd cook up some veggie stir-fry (cabbage, carrots, and mushrooms with a sauce made of water, olive oil, corn starch, a little brown sugar, and salt and pepper) along with some rice balls (plain rice).

 

Lets just say last night was not fun (bloating and slightly upset stomach).

 

I'm suspecting the cabbage was behind it.

 

I also need to mention that my room, despite my efforts, gets to 85 degrees almost daily when its hot outside. I have no AC. I also have a feeling that this isn't helping either.

 

Any ideas as to what might be going on?

honestly, i prefer the heat and i very rarely sweat - but, if it gets too hot, i 'wilt' - i have to remind myself to keep hydrated, my stomach feels 'off' - before i went gluten free, i was most likely to get a migraine when i was TOO hot....

 

you don't have a problem with corn, do you?  cornstarch was the only thing in both of your meals that didn't agree with you.  whenever i am trying to find out what i'm having a problem with, i do the food journal thing.  everything that passes my lips goes in the journal.  (once it turned out to be the husband LOLZ mr glutentongue - and i thought all that kissing stuff was just plain nonsense..... )

 

i hope you feel better soon, shadow

Maybe your body is reacting to the dairy now even though you haven't had issues in the past? I'm sorry you feel terrible! I hope you feel better soon.

Well, i have an idea as to what happened. I had my gallbladder removed two years ago. Since then i've been on a pretty low-fat diet (excluding occasional treats and mac and cheese). I have heard (whether or not this is true or not) that once your gallbladder is removed, your body has a harder time digesting fats.

 

I also normally do not use butter in anything I cook or eat.

I can relate.  

 

It could very well be your gallbladder (or lack of).  Many people have problems years after surgery digesting fatty foods (e.g. cousins and aunts/uncles).  I'm pretty fortunate, except that I'm still getting my annual "gallbladder attacks" (nausea, vomiting, fainting, abdominal pain, etc.) which stem from very fatty foods.  I think it has to do with the bile duct going into spasms.  It's just an theory.   My aunt had problems after surgery and went in for a bile stent.  Somehow it moved and she went in for a replacement.  She died  48 hours later (septic) from complications.  I also read that you can develop gallstones and they can get stuck in the bile duct post surgery.

 

I worry that I have the same issues, so I try to avoid fatty foods as much as possible.  I will no longer make fried chicken even if it is gluten free!

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
