Finally Feeling A Little Better

after 2 years of feeling like blah, having bloody stool consistantly and throwing up all day for the last 6 weeks. I've offically been gluten free for 4 days and this is the first day i havent thrown up, my stomach hasnt hurt quite as much and i have a little more energy! :D

my mom suggested the idea of celiacs and going gluten free a while back, but i of course didnt listen, she brought it up again when she found out i lost more than 20 lbs and i moved home. (i had to quit my job and i couldnt take care of myself anymore) guess i should have listened to her earlier! but hey at least now i know my lesson.

still waiting on blood work to come back (holiday weekends suck! im so impatient) but i can safely say if i have to go back on gluten to do a biospy then i dont need one that badly!

im even eating ice cream for the first time in over 2 years! this is so exciting... and soooo yummy! (dont worry i checked, no gluten here! :lol: )

Angel, that's awesome! Thank God for moms (and children who listen to them!). I know you're not looking forward to your gluten challenge, but it certainly sounds like you already have the answer. Good luck to you on your gluten free diet. You should get better every day and start enjoying your life once again!

Give your mom a big hug, and remember "gluten free's the way to be!"

I cant tolerate ice cream because I have a sensativity to casien... blech. And I cant tolerate soy jsut yet and soy ice cream just doesnt taste the same. Glad you are having good luck! HAve you looked into Dr Fine's tests for gluten, casien, soy, eggs, and yeast sensativties?

      Will do! Here are some other test results from the last few days using the Elisa Technologies tests. All of these products tested Gluten Free, ( or more accurately, under 10ppm)  - Teddies crunchy Peanut Butter  - Philosopher Foods Sprouted Almond Butter - Jacobsen Salt Co Black Garlic Ginger Salt

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes, it is important to get 25OHD blood and PTH tested and monitored.  My doctor tests me 4 times a year along with homocysteine and the other blood panels.  Massive vitamin D doses under a doctors care can raise vitamin D level quickly, but those doses wear off in about three months, so either sun or supplementation needs to be instituted in order to not lose the gain.  There have been numerous clinical trials on kidney transplant patients with doses as high a 1.5million IU with no ill effects.  But those are a one time bolus under the care of doctors.  One conumdrus of these really high  dose supplements is a higher incidence of falls.  The answer is that the patient feels so good, they are more active than usual before regaining strength and balance.

      Yes, 50k IU daily would be an a short term front end loading dose for those having critically low levels but you wouldn't want to take it for an extended period.

      That's 20ppm, not 20,000 ppm. https://www.fda.gov/food/nutrition-education-resources-materials/gluten-and-food-labeling "The rule specifies, among other criteria, that any foods that carry the label “gluten-free,” “no gluten,” “free of gluten,” or “without gluten” must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten."
