Frustrated on the beach

Hello all I'm ranting here ?

Gluten Sensitivity is becoming worse as I age.  My initial diagnosis was borderline GS in 2014. At the time the food industry was totally unaware of gluten-free labeling or even cared. Now food chairs are labeling gluten-free but not all are actually gluten-free. I try to shop the gluten-free Logo but food items are very limited. I'm unable to tolerate gluten-free breads and Glutino Products. I'm frustrated and menu planning is a challenge. The cauliflower pizza crust can be problematic. Almond products are starting to bother my as well. Unless I eat a totally clean diet plain food Meat veggies and fruit very little dairy nuts are not an option. I just don't know were to turn.

Maybe you should listen to your body.  It seems to like meat, veggies, fruit and a little dairy.   Boring?  Maybe.  But feeling good trumps feeling bad on a traditional American diet.  

My diet is about as restrictive as yours.  But I can tell you that I am feeling really good.  No gluten exposures for almost two years.  My other autoimmune disorders are in remission. I am riding the crest of the wave and loving it.  

Hang in there!  Enjoy the beach.  I am riding my bike there tomorrow.  ?‍♀️

I am going through a bad bought myself and my stomach is only putting up with fish, lean soft cooked meats, eggs, turkey, and I am fine with nut milks or nut butters but not my normal nut based baked goods. >.< I also can not stomach veggies or spices right now.

Find what you body wants and eat that for now, just try to balance the nutrients if you or find a safe multivitamin.

I am having to make liver jerky for my vitamins and drink broths made by boiling veggies since I can not handle them right now.

      hmm, I only had a colonoscopy. Would be interesting to have an endoscopy done then I guess.

      You said the colonoscopy showed no damage. Did you also have an endoscopy? The upper colon is where celiac damage would be detected via endoscopy, not the colon.

      Welcome to the  forum @maylynn! Have you had a follow-up endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel to check for healing of the villous lining? If not, it's about time one was done. As Scott mentioned, I also wonder if you have food intolerances in addition to gluten. Oats (even gluten free oats), dairy, soy, corn and eggs are some of the most common ones in the celiac community.

      Is your gluten-free diet strict? Do you eat out in restaurants? If so, you could be getting contamination, and over time that can slow recovery. You may want to get a follow up celiac disease antibody panel done to make sure that your levels have gone down since your last tests. Also, have you had various nutrient levels checked via a blood test, and have you been taking vitamin & mineral supplements since your diagnosis?  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.    Do you still have celiac disease symptoms?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Hello!  I am here as a last result, hoping for some advice, similar stories, etc. When I was 17, I was diagnosed with Celiac disease. By the time we figured it out my iron levels were so low I had to get infusions, and I had lost 20lbs. in two weeks going from a 5'11 130lbs woman to a 110 lbs. Now, I am 21 and have gained 4 lbs since. Every time I eat a meal, I get three bites in and feel so full that I feel sick. I can't eat a full meal. Something else has to be wrong right? This can't just be more "normal" right? I have done test after test and no doctor in my area can figure anything else out. They have told me I most likely have shrunken my stomach by now with how little I am eating so that has to do with some of the sick feeling. What have you done to gain the weight back? Foods? Workouts?
