Gluten, dairy, soy free with diverticulitis


Bicey

Recommended Posts

I have been gluten, dairy, soy free for 1 year. I had a colon resection done June 2015 & amother colon repair surgery in August 2015. I am also allergic to beef and beef proteins.  Last Sunday, I ate a piece of grilled chicken and about an hour later developed severe cramps with nausea.  Every day this week has been worse than the days before. I went to the ER on Thursday and was told I have lesions on my colon. I have been surviving on pedialyte and Gatorade, only. Friday,  I doubled over in severe cramps at work. I went to my PCP and was diagnosed with Diverticulitis.  

Now, what do I eat? Remember,  most diverticulitis diets have dairy. Please help! 

I feel like there is nothing that I can eat without major cramps.

Diverticulitis is when the little pockets that characterize diverticulosis get inflamed and/or infected.  A lot of people with this condition find that eating seeds and beans tend to irritate the colon more, so they avoid those.  Others don't have any symptoms.  For now, while you are so sick, (if it were me), I would stick with soft, bland foods, like mashed potatoes, boiled rice, and maybe some jello until you feel better.  See if you can tolerate some natural chicken broth-- not bouillon, but real broth.  Are you allergic to coconut?  Coconut water might be good if you are sick of Gatorade.  I hope you feel better soon.

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!

      Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. Many of them are found close together on the chromosomes.

      Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point).  So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another possible explanation for some of the issues that I'm dealing with.
