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.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
