Gluten, dairy, soy free with diverticulitis


Bicey

Recommended Posts

Bicey Newbie

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.

      Sorry, I think I got you mixed up with another poster.

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.
