hey everyone

happy new years!

i was diagnosed a few days befor christmas. being asymptomatic, i decided to wait until after the holidays to go gluten free

i took the time in between to have my last _____ (fill in the blank with a number of things)

i also took the time to plan and research and shop so that i'd be prepared.

the only thing i wasn't prepared for was this:

i'm used to walking through the kitchen and grabbing a handful of this, or one of that or whatever's on the counter. and now, i keep havign to stop myself.

Of course there's plenty of stuff around that i CAN eat, and I'm not hungry. It's just this HABIT of eating what's there.

old habits die hard. i just need to be conscious.

i love a challenge. the gluten free stuff should be a good one. one that i can acheive, no doubt, but challenging.

wish me luck

and Happy New Year!

Good luck, sounds like you've got a great start. I know what you mean about habit...nearly did the same thing at work the other day. I'm used to walking by everyone's desk and taking a piece of this or that...nearly absentmindedly did that the other day with a pea sized piece of krispy creme donut. :blink:

Hey Random Guy!

With your attitude, you won't have any problem getting used to the gluten-free diet. Honest, it really does get easier with time and eventually, it will be so second nature to you that you won't even think about those foods. (although, the VERY ODD time, you get slapped in the face with a craving, an example of this was last night when hubby ordered chinese food to celebrate New Years as we had company over. He went all out, including ordering my favourite, Schezuan. <_< Couldn't complain though, since it is also his favourite and I can't deny him that treat every once in awhile......... :rolleyes: )

Good luck!

Karen

      What's your daily meals? Protein bars?

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars. Something to fill since sometimes I feel like not to eat anything. Especially if on vacation and unsure of cross contamination I figure go with a salad and protein...

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated. I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population? Also, I found what you said about N...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Yeast extract

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.
