Hi! I've been diagnosed with Celiac, SIBO, and I am unable to tolerate egg, casein, or any kind of protein powder (I've tried, rice, whey, and pea protein as well). My struggle is finding foods that I can eat while still having enough energy to get through my day since I am an athlete. 

I get major brain fog around 2-3pm, and I need to be high fat/high protein. I get major sugar cravings, and I get scared of eating because I'm not sure if it will go right through me, leave me bloated, or with awkward gas. I'm always on the go, and I am currently healing from 2 dislocations (probably EDS since I am hypermobile). On top of all that I absolutely hate cooking, and my attempts at meal prepping haven't been too successful. I either can't get to the food in time before it goes bad, or I feel like I am constantly running to the store to buy new food. 

Any suggestions on what I should eat?

You are sick!  I am going to say this bluntly -- forget being an athlete until you have healed.  I can say it, because I am very active for a person my age.  This is the time for you to slow down temorarily and do everything in your power to heal.  

Going gluten free will help you heal from celiac disease but healing from SIBO may require a different diet.  What did your doctor recommend?  

I  am going to be blunt again -- you need to learn to prepare and cook healthy whole foods.   We have lots of members who were just like you!  Guess what?  They have learned to cook!  

Check our our Newbie 101 section under "Coping".  I think you will find valuable tips there.  ? welcome to the forum!

Things to eat?  Well-cooked, easy-to-digest foods like stewed meats, fish, veggies, oils, and fruit until your gut is healed.   I could not eat dairy or eggs before my diagnosis.  Now I can eat them easily!

As far as protein shakes go... Have you tried Vega one? It's the ONLY protein shake that sits well with me because it is certified gluten free! 20g of protein in each scoop, you really can't go wrong with it. It's pretty cheap, too. A jug of it (20 scoops) is around 20 dollars. I'm an athlete too, and so I feel your pain.

Vega is an excellent protein drink. It's gluten, soy, and dairy free, and it tastes great!  It should only be used when you are not getting enough protein, not as a replacement for food.

However, I agree with @cyclinglady that right now it's more important to get better, so learning how to cook some whole foods might be a good idea. I cook for several days so I all I have to do is warm up in the microwave.

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      IDK how common it is but it does happen. I'm celiac, allergic, and intolerant to the fiber in grains. (Fodmaps) So not only do I get sick from cross contamination, also gluten free wheat statch/fiber, and beauty products with wheat will get me. While I don't stop breathing the full body hives and short breath are not fun. Then once I make through that me and the bathroom become reacquaint. Sigh if I didn't feel so much better with the restrictions on my diet I'd feel sorry for myself. Least it makes for some good jokes about how the gremlin that lives in my gut really hates wheat.

      Ocd making gluten fears unmanageable. Need advice

      By Wends · Posted

      Hi Dora77. “Questions I Need Help With” “1. Is it realistically safe to eat food my mom cooks…” YES - you wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for your mother. Trust she still knows how to take the best care of you in her own way. Mishaps and cross contamination may happen - will happen on occasion, in fact - that’s life. But for the bulk of it as long as you’re aware of cc and try to avoid it for the most part, don’t sweat the small stuff! See the gluten free diet as a process. Own the process, Do Not let the process own you! “2. Do I need to worry about touching doorknobs, fridge handles, light switches, etc. that family members touched after eating gluten? What about public places like bus handles or...

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Unfortunately not going to be able to let you know how Amneal is working because I still have almost 3 month supply of Mylan.  Had annual appointment with endocrinologist last week (though get scripts for blood work more often) and since was on my last refill, she sent new script to pharmacist.  Staying on my Mylan until it's gone.  (I tend to build up a supply because after trying a couple of endocrinologists for my Hashimotos, one finally got my thyroid regulated by my taking only six days a week instead of adjusting the strength which had me constantly up and down.  Will be forever grateful to her.  Apparently high percentage of folks with Celiac also have Hashimotos so all this...

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By KimMS · Posted

      Thanks for sharing this! Have you started taking the Amneal? I'm curious how it's going for you. My pharmacy gave me the option of Accord, Macleod or Amneal. I didn't realize that Amneal was formerly Lannett, or I might have chosen that one. However, I did read some anecdotal reports that some people had side effects with Amneal, so I chose Accord. I have been taking it for 3-4 weeks and the past 10 days I have developed extreme fatigue/sluggishness, joint pain and some brain fog. I don't know if it is the new levo med, but nothing else has changed. Has anyone else taken Accord levo? Any issues? It seems to fall into the "no gluten ingredients, but we...
