Hi all,

I've been gluten-free for 5 days now and I'm feeling worse, Sinuses are clogged and I'm more tired. I'm hoping this is the bad before the good. Anyone else experience this? Also , I have sores inside my nostrils, is this common with celiac?

thx

Hmm, haven't heard of sores in the nose before... I will say 5 days is really not long enough to notice any difference for some people. I became more tired after going gluten-free for a while. What are your symptoms? Are you sure you are 100% gluten-free. It is common to miss things in the beginning--have you cked products such as shampoo, lotion etc in addition to food? What types of food are you eating?

Okay, just looked at your other posts. You said gas is your only GI symptom? Were you self-diagnosed or otherwise? Just trying to get some background :)

Hi Jen,

No real GI symptoms other than gas. Self diagnosed.

I don't know if it relates at all, as I haven't heard of the type of sores you describe, but have you looked into yeast overgrowth? The sinus conditions might indicate this also. Try a search on the board for that. You might relate to what others have experienced.

      What would you do - neighbor brought gluten-free pizza from Papa Murphy's

      I would not eat it. Some people are more sensitive to small amounts of gluten than others. Until you know how sensitive you are It is probably best to be extra careful. Is this a crustless pizza? I looked on the Papa Murphy website, clicked on nutrition and filtered by “avoid gluten”. The only pizzas that it said were gluten free were crustless sli...

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      Thank you for your reply. I read the same thing about distilled water. Oddly, drinking that has not caused any sort of reaction in my gut. Nothing I can hear and feel anyway. 🤣 With that said, I have also switched over to spring water for drinking. My traditional go to grocery store charges the exact same thing ($1.39) for a gallon of pre-bottled sp...

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      By Known1 · Posted

      Thank you for your reply.  I read the same thing about distilled water.  Oddly, drinking that has not caused any sort of reaction in my gut.  Nothing I can hear and feel anyway.  🤣  With that said, I have also switched over to spring water for drinking.  My traditional go to grocery store charges the exact same thing ($1.39) for a gallon of pre-bottled spring, distilled, or RO water.  The manual gallon refills of RO water have an attractive price of $0.49 per gallon, provided you use your own container.  Knowing it causes major bubble gut (and likely other issues) for me, I am avoiding all RO water moving forward.  In fact, I will gladly drink tap before RO water. Here is what Google says when searching "European study regarding reverse osmosis water". --Begin quote: European studies indicate that while reverse osmosis (RO) is highly effective at removing contaminants, it strips essential minerals (calcium, magnesium) and creates low-mineral, slightly acidic water.  Research suggests this may have long-term health implications, such as mineral deficiencies, while also negatively affecting the sensory quality (taste) of water. Key Findings from European Research & Reviews: Health Concerns: Epidemiological studies in Europe have associated low-mineral water consumption with increased risks of cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, and reduced intake of essential nutrients. Mineral Depletion: RO systems can remove up to 95%+ of solutes, including minerals that are vital for health. Sensory and Quality Impact: Studies show that reducing the mineral content (TDS) of water makes it taste bitter or flat, with optimal, "fresh" taste found in water with a TDS between 190 and 350 mg/L, suggesting post-RO remineralization is necessary for better quality. Regulatory & Safety Context: While not banned, European regulations under the Drinking Water Directive emphasize the importance of mineral content, and countries like Germany often favor alternative treatment technologies that retain minerals. Industrial Application: In Europe, RO is widely accepted for industrial applications (e.g., food, beverage, pharma) due to its high purity output, but it poses challenges like membrane biofouling. Environmental Impact: RO is recognized to use more energy and waste more water (up to 15% more) compared to conventional treatment methods, raising environmental concerns in some municipalities.  Recommendations: Due to the loss of minerals, many experts recommend remineralizing RO water before drinking to improve taste and nutritional value.  --End Quote

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      I've heard RO water is bad, too.   Distilled water has all the minerals distilled out of it, so it will pull minerals out of your bones, too.  I only use distilled water to fill up my clothes iron so it won't get mineral deposits inside and quit working. I drink mineral or spring water.

      Scott.  Thank you for your reply. I'm still having symptoms, but significantly better.  I will go back to batch cooking and freezing vegetables.  I have had success with Pict Sweet frozen, single item (not mixed) vegetables.  My Kroger carries very little Pict Sweet variety. Regards, Yaya
