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.

I am in the same boat.  Lots of food sensitivities but I can eat fruit , most vegetables and meat which I enjoy.

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat.  In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue.   A wedge pillow will really help with this - or raising the top bed legs with bricks.

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired.  I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years,  I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.
