Need Help, Still Feeling Yucky

Hi All,

I am new to the board. I was diagnosed by a positive endoscopy in August 2005. It has been a real rollercoaster for me. Shortly after going on the diet I felt fabulous. (no headaches, body aches, stomach aches, big D etc.). Then I would feel gross for a few weeks and then feel good for awhile and so forth. I have not felt good now for about 3-4 weeks and do not know what I am doing wrong. I have switched all my products...shampoos, etc. to gluten free to the best of my knowledge. I only eat things on the gluten free list I have, and even some of those I don't eat because they make me sick. Is it normal to feel this way while still being so strict on the diet? I couldn't get 2 feet from the toilet for about 12 hours yesterday. :o I have lost about 10 pounds in the last few months...don't know if that is because I don't dare eat or cause I don't digest. Went to the GI a few days ago, not too helpful, though I found out my iron level is about 50% what it should be. He wants to give me a blood transfusion in a few weeks if it doesn't come up. What do you think about transfusions?

What can I expect with this diet, disease? Could I have more allergies? Do you think I should keep doing what I am doing? Will I feel better soon? Is this normal? Would love to feel better again. Thanks for any replies.

Have you tried eliminating dairy or soy. I was like you I felt great for awhile and then not so good and back on the Immodium again. But I have been better since eliminating dairy. I tried some cheese again last night for the first time in about a month and I was back on the toilet for this morning.

Yes, I have eliminated dairy, but I haven't eliminated soy yet. Can eating dairy/soy make you have headaches, body aches, etc?

You could have sensitivities or allergies to dairy and soy and they can also cause those.You may be getting glutened and not know from where. I have been glutened yesterday and I don't even know how. I do know because of the reaction and the DH that I was glutened. I have not ate anything with wheat or gluten. So, you may be getting glutened by accident or the dairy and/or soy thing.

Yes, I could be getting glutened, as my family still eats lots of wheat. I will have to try eliminating soy and see if that helps.

Thanks.

      There are eight essential B vitamins. They are all water soluble. Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys. Thiamine is Vitamin B 1. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses. Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily. The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is...

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.
