food combinations

I cannot combine starches and proteins without getting sick.

Is this a common problem for Celiac disease sufferers?

Not that I know of. 

I'm assuming you are referring to foods that are high in starches and proteins. Most foods that are classified as a starch will have some protein (e.g. grains and tubers) and many foods that are classified as protein will have some starch (e.g. legumes). 

Can you give some specific examples of food combinations that give you problems?

trents:

if you send an email address I will send you some lists so that you can see what I am referring to.

Better I think for the sake of input from he community if you will copy and paste the lists into a post.

OK

I will work on that.

Starches and sugars make me sick, I do best on a high protein and high-fat diet. I also do best with a mostly plant-based fat and protein diet. IF your getting bloating from sugars/starches it could also be SIBO.

I would look into digestive enzymes, if you do not have the enzymes to break down certain foods they will make you feel sick, you can also get food sensitivities or intolerance which is very common with celiac. Many of the regulars here list what we have issues within our signature to give you an example but it can be anything. Most common are dairy, oats, soy, nightshades, corn, peanuts, but can be anything.  https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/are-food-sensitivities-for-life

 

In the end, you should keep a food diary and go to a whole foods only diet, remove foods that bother you for now and build from there.

Yep as Ennis said we often had issues. The 2-2.5 years after my gluten challenge I had many intolerances and stuggled to process foods. I didn't have SIBO. 

Are you newly diagnosed then it is likely you may unfortunately have to drop some foods for awhile . I had to do a food diary and drop foods that were an issue. I got many of them back. I still have corn and milk issues. 

It also helps sometimes to vary the diet rotate so you aren't consuming the same foods. I had some thresholds for a bit while I waited for my immune system to calm down and my body to heal. 

I had to wait for my bile and pancreas to fire back on at full force. Things that may sound strange, but many of my organs we're inflamed afterward besides my GI tract. I needed overall healing as well. 

I had to be low fat meat, white potatos caused joint pain and muscle aches so I did sweet potatoes etc instead. I dropped potato and rice and stayed whole foods, AIP, and Paleo for that time period. 

I was able to add things back in time. I do a daily multi, extra vitamin d and magnesium, for my probiotic I make water keifer as my former probiotic were grown on corn and I had issues .

It takes sometime to work it all out. Time and patience my Celiac comrade.

Keep us posted 

Good luck

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
