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.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After...

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      On the AIP diet, all processed foods are eliminated. This includes gluten-free bread. You'll be eating meats and vegetables, mostly. Meats that are processed, like sausages, sandwich meats, bacons, chicken nuggets, etc., are eliminated as well. Veggies should be fresh, or frozen without other ingredients like sauces or seasonings. Nightshade vegetables...

      Thank you for responding and for prayers. So sorry for your struggles, I will keep you in mine. You are so young to have so many struggles, mine are mild by comparison. I didn't have Celiac Disease (celiac disease) until I had my gallbladder removed 13 years ago; at least nothing I was aware of. Following surgery: multiple symptoms/oddities appeared including...

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      When I accidentally consume gluten it compromises the well-being of my heart and arteries. Last time I had a significant exposure, about six months ago, I had AFib for about ten days. It came on every day around dinner time. After the ten days or so it went away and hasn't come back. My cardiologist offered me a collection of pharmaceuticals at the time...

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After having my last baby this year, my body has finally started to find its new rhythm and balance...but things started to feel out of sorts. A lot of symptoms were convoluted with postpartum symptoms, and, to top it all off, my cycle came back about 4m postpartum. I was having reoccurring migraines, nausea, joint pain, numbness in my right arm, hand and fingers, tummy problems, hives. I finally went to my PCP in August just for a wellness check and I brought up my ailments. I'm so thankful for a doctor that listens and is thorough. He ended up running a food allergy panel, an environmental respiratory panel, and a celiac panel. I found out I was allergic to wheat, allergic to about every plant and dust mites, and I did have celiac. I had an endoscopy done on October 3 and my results confirmed celiac in the early stages! I am truly blessed to have an answer to my issues. When I eat gluten, my brain feels like it's on fire and like someone is squeezing it. I can't think straight and I zone out easily. My eyes can't focus. I get a super bad migraine and nausea. I get so tired and irritable and anxious. My body hurts sometimes and my gut gets bloated, gassy, constipated, and ends with bowel movements. All this time I thought I was just having mom brain or feeling the effects of postpartum, sleep deprivation, and the like (which I probably was having and the celiac disease just ramped it up!) I have yet to see a dietician but I've already been eating and shopping gluten-free. My husband and I have been working on turning our kitchen 100% gluten-free (we didn't think this would be so expensive but he assured me that my health is worth all the money in the world). There are still a few things to replace and clean. I'm already getting tired of reading labels. I even replaced some of my personal hygiene care for myself and the kids because they were either made with oats or not labeled gluten-free. I have already started feeling better but have made some mistakes along the way or have gotten contamination thrown into the mix. It's been hard! Today I joked that I got diagnosed at the worst time of the year with all the holidays coming up. I will just need to bring my own food to have and to share. It will be okay but different after years of eating "normally". Today I ordered in person at Chipotle and was trying not to feel self-conscious as the line got long because they were following food-allergy protocols. It's all worth it to be the healthiest version of myself for me and my family. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little overwhelmed and a little overloaded!  I am thankful for this community and I look forward to learning more from you all. I need the help, that's for sure!

      Thank you for responding and for prayers.  So sorry for your struggles, I will keep you in mine.  You are so young to have so many struggles, mine are mild by comparison.  I didn't have Celiac Disease (celiac disease) until I had my gallbladder removed 13 years ago; at least nothing I was aware of.  Following surgery: multiple symptoms/oddities appeared including ridges on fingernails, eczema, hair falling out in patches, dry eyes, upset stomach constantly and other weird symptoms that I don't really remember.  Gastro did tests and endoscopy and verified celiac disease. Re heart: I was born with Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) and an irregular heartbeat, yet heart was extremely strong.  It was difficult to pick up the irregular heartbeat on the EKG per cardiologist.  I had Covid at 77, recovered in 10 days and 2 weeks later developed long Covid. What the doctors and nurses called the "kickoff to long Covid, was A-fib.  I didn't know what was going on with my heart and had ignored early symptoms as some kind of passing aftereffect stemming from Covid.  I was right about where it came from, but wrong on it being "passing".  I have A-fib as my permanent reminder of Covid and take Flecainide every morning and night and will for the rest of my life to stabilize my heartbeat.
