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.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
