Why Why Did I Do It>>?

 I know why I did it but I regret it anyway. :unsure:  I was reading all the postives about how after some healing time, one might be able to re introduce corn or dairy or soy etc...

 

So I got an Udi's hamburger roll...knowing full well it is full of corn solids... and.. UGH!!!  :( :( :( :( :( :(   My tummy hurts SO BADLY, and I threw it all up in a gelatinous mess of mucous.

 

Well, at least I now know.  I am just really sad about it. I got a bit excited in the back part of my head about the possibility. I guess you all do not really need to know and I am just writing this as some form of relief.

It takes time. But you didn't really do anything wrong (except maybe jump the gun.) I tried the things I used to be intolerant to several times before I met with success.

 

The good news is that your symptoms most likely won't last as long as a glutening would. I hope you're feeling better soon. :)

You may be able to try again one day; just give it a year or so first.

 

Feel better.  :)

Ah , I am not so sure.  It has already been over a year now. Maybe I will give it another go NEXT year HAH~!  That was really painful and I am glad it is over. All I was able to eat yesterday after that pain was a bowl of mashed potatoes. Its so strange to know that food can hurt a person so much. I am starting to think that I AM one of those super sensitive people. A glutening puts me down for 4-5 days. Corn and soy...or what I like to refer to as food poisoning, only puts me down for a day. It just puts me down so hard! I end up squirming around in pain on the sofa pleading for death. LOL *sighs*

About eight months before I got corn back I was exposed to corn and literally thought I was going to die. My core body temp dropped, I was having a cross between muscle spasms and what felt like seizures. I wanted to call an ambulance but couldn't even make it to the phone. I was sure at that point that I would never be able to eat corn.

 

But now I can. As I said, it took three and a half years and in the meantime I ate whole foods. It was hard to accept but I chose to look at food as a necessary bodily function rather than as a pleasure. I had one treat that I could look forward to at the end of the day - an all natural ice cream sweetened with sugar instead of corn syrup. It got me through.

 

If you can find one thing that you really enjoy eating to reward yourself at the end of the day I'm sure it will help. And given enough time, you WILL get these other things back.

Ah, You guys really make me feel much more positive about it all. Thank you so much. I needed that. I generally eat whole foods. My family is so used to it that if I try and feed the boyfriend a pre-made store meal because Ive no time to cook and he devours 3000+ calories a day.... haha he makes a scrunched up face, sticks his tongue out and says "EWWW what IS this?". He is the only one that can eat that way in this house though. He tried to go grain free with us a few months ago but he lost so much weight it was scary so there is now a special cabinet of rice, bread, and pasta and their own pots and knives etc, just for him.

 

I do not really need a reward. Sometimes I swing back a Naked Juice for dessert but ..really, it is not a thing.  I was just thinking of how much easier and cheaper life would be. If I could keep down Udi's OH WOW, no more bread making, no more paying $8 for Against the Grain baguettes, it would have just been easier. Ah well.  Corn though?  Corn is in EVERYTHING. GAH! I am so glad I have no candy addictions! Whole foods is almost the ONLY way to avoid corn. Same for soy. just.. GAH!

Just began eliminating corn and dairy and it is challenging. I just read that at my age, 67 it will take longer to heal than a young person. I was undiagnosed for 30 years so my gut was a mess and it makes sense that healing will take a while. I was gluten-free for a few years then got off track and now have 6 months clear.

OP, do you have access to Canyon Bakehouse bread? I think that brand is corn free.

I do not know that I exactly qualify as young. I will be turning 39 here very soon. I am going to give it another go next year though. I have my daughter going for a panel soon. I am 99% sure she has it too and I do not ever want her to end up in these shoes someday!

Ohhh Never heard of them.  I will check for it the next time I go to whole foods. I am guessing it will cost roughly the same as the against the grain gourmet though. Who knows!  I will look it up on google too as I cant do sorghum either. The only grain I seem to be alright with is rice.

It depends on your area. When our grocery store had it, it was around $5 per loaf if I remember right.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
