Paleo/primal


MycasMommy

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.

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.
