I have two really great apps that have helped me a lot in this whole journey. Is it okay for me to recommend them here? I have no affiliation with either of them.

If they aren't your company - recommend away!   :)

Okey dokey...

 

The first one is called Food Allergy Detective. It was a literal godsend when my intolerance problems first started. Basically what it does is that at each meal, you check off what you are eating from a customizable list of food items. Then whenever you experience symptoms, you also check those off (from a list that is also customizable). When you've entered enough data, the app is able to correlate reactions you are having with things that you've eaten, and alert you to things you may be sensitive to. It works very, very well, and is very easy to use. It can catch reactions that happen within 24 hours, so it helps with things that might not surface immediately after eating. For example, it might note that 6 hours after eating tomatoes, you always get a headache.

 

The second app is called Rise. It is a subscription-based app (I think it costs right around $40 a month), that allows you to get feedback on your eating from a registered dietician. When you subscribe, you are given profiles of several different dietitians to choose from. At each meal, you use the app to take a picture of what you're eating (you can enter text, as well). Your dietician gives you feedback at least once a day (mine gives me feedback several times a day). I think that $40 a month for a registered dietician to give me daily feedback is an amazing value! The dietician I have been working with FAR exceeds my expectations. She is incredibly caring and helpful, she is very well qualified, and is helping me eat much more healthfully (which is not easy given that I have over 20 moderate to severe food intolerances in addition to celiac). I'm extremely impressed with her and with this app! If anyone is interested in her name, pm me and I'll let you know which dietician I use.

 

Hope this is helpful to someone...

:-) Sometimes I forget, too, but you can always just type in what you've eaten.

My dietician was out of town for the long holiday weekend recently, and another Rise dietician helped me while she was gone. She was also very good. If the two of them are any indication, this is a very good service.

      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.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
