6 Months For Me Today

It has been exactly six months today since my celiac diagnosis. What a difference the last six months have made. I haven't had one single migraine, hope they never come back. Still on all the heartburn meds, tried a few days without them which was a very bad idea. I think I will keep them around. I went from eating anti-nausea pills like candy 6 months ago to only having to refill my script once since. Normal poop for the first time in my life. I still have so many more things that can resolve anytime now, but I know I am still in for a long haul and need to be patient. Instead of having more bad days then good, they are about even. All in all, it's been a good six months and I hope the next six go even better. Now to just get well enough to be able to go back to work. A person can hope, right?

Nice to see the improvement!!  Heartburn was one of the first things I noticed that went away.  I've taken Tums once since I went gluten-free and that was more precautionary.  I even had some grapefruit juice yesterday not long before I went to bed.  That would have given me heartburn without question a few months ago, nothing last night at all.

Thank you guys. It is pretty great.

I'm also amazed at how celiac doesn't consume my life as much as it did a few months ago. I can go out with friends and not talk about celiac all night. People are getting used to my weird quirks and don't even bat an eye any more. Life is good

I'm just 3 weeks in and pleasantly surprised with the results. Especially with my energy levels and the fact that I actually feel nourished by food. In a sense that I am gaining weight and I feel for once in my life that I actually need to control what and how much I eat because it controls how much weight I gain/lose.

 

Contrary to popular belief, it's not a good feeling to be able to eat whatever you want and remain thin and malnourished

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern. This is really helpful I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks f...

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
