Paleo/primal

I did not initially look into this, it just turned out that how I was eating was called Primal.  The only difference between the two is that IF you are able to consume dairy products, primal is fine with it and some chocolate and/or wine here and there. They both eschew grains.  The only grain I CAN eat seemingly safely (without getting very sick) seems to be white rice.  I experimented with corn a few weeks ago and it was still a no go.  What I love is that I can still make (and even buy) grain free breads and make wonderful "pastas" that a so much more healthy anyway. I do not have a choice in skipping the pre made foods but I think I will probably not go back to it even if/when I am healed enough to handle corn anyway.  I just wont be so petrified to eat out! 

 

here is a great Primal resource and I have gone through all of the books too.  Its a full lifestyle change from food to exercise but I mostly just deal with the food portion. I feel so much better and mroe alive now that I may begin some sort of physical training though!

There are tons of Paleo places to visit too. These two things are surely very fad controlled but GREAT for people who cannot tolerate gluten nor corn nor any other grains.

 

 

I will have to dig up the websites to learn how to make a lot of types of noodles with the spiralizer (I LOVE THAT THING) as well as places like Against All Grain Open Original Shared Link

 

I am so..haha..."skilled" at making things Paleo/Primal now that I even enjoy The Pioneer Woman and the ease with which her recipes are adaptable. :D

That's great! 

 

I am happy for you that you are making it work :) 

 

My daughter and I have candida

and so we have to eat Paleo style as well as gluten-free (or mostly gluten-free) diet, combined.

 

It does get tricky (and the kind of meat we can afford is limited) to merge the two, when on a fixed income. 

 

 

Thanks for sharing.

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
