ugh, my stomic is doing the wierd twiching/poping why.... i know i did not get glutend so ihave no clue :(

After a year gluten-free, I still get that. A lot of times, I have no idea what causes it. I"m just feeling better today after stomach problems for the past week--I swear I wasn't glutened, but that's what it felt like. I'm going back to absolute basics, and see if I can figure it out. For some of us, it takes longer :angry:

yeah all of this sucks lol :(

my heads doing that stupid stoned feeling again(and this time i did not smoke at all today) ugh i hate this feeling. My doctors only answers for anything i bring up is (your healing) gah

I had a question about anemia, i read that one of the symptoms (besides for the heady feeling i get) is loss of color in nails, my finger nails are still a healthy pink, but my toenails are all very bland in color almost grey, like it looks like no blood is in them( i have dead mans toes) not sure if that could be a sign or not probably turning nothing into somthing im good at that i also have incrediably dry hands and skin lately

question unrelated to this topic

are all the adds on this site related to celiac disease? just wondering because there are alot of adds about alzheimers- is there a celiac link? my great grandpa had alzheimers but he is the only one so far

Lister, on one of your other threads I posted how to get cheap and nutritous food for less than $10 a week.

What you are eating (rice cakes, chips) is very expensive for its nutritional value... indeed raice cakes have almost no nutritional value.. this might seem like a lot of hassle, its a lot less than it seems.....

If you buy a bag of chicken offcuts on the bone you can make a weeks food from this and not waste anything.

Im not financially strapped but your diet is expensive... i don't throw away things like carrot peel or chicken bones etc. its full of goodness....

If you eat a chicken and just pull of the meat you are getting less than 50% of the vitamins and protein, the bones are full of gelatin that boils out and take the calcium with it (good for celaics) vitamis etc are concetrated under the skins of vegetables.

There is basically not much to it except thowing the stuff in a big pan and boiling it and then pulling the chicken offcuts out after an hour and pulling the meat off..it will just slide off. Everything else will still be in the pan, if you eat boiled carrots for instance the water is orange because it contains the vitamin 'A' but you thrown that away....

You can often scrounge the tops off leeks or celery or carrots etc from a grocer, they just throw them out. Offer them a $ for a big back if they are heartless!

Touche, Lister! I am old! :lol::lol::lol: No harm done, so don't feel bad.

Yet another way to boil eggs: Put six eggs in a sort of deep pot, and cover with cold water. Set pot on burner and turn heat to High. When the water starts boiling, remove pot from burner, put the lid on it, and set timer for 20 minutes. When timer rings, pour off the hot water, set the pot (lid removed) in the sink, fill with cold water, put in a lot of ice cubes, and leave like this for about 30 minutes. This ice bath keeps the yolks from turning green. After that, keep the eggs in the refrigerator.

Deviled eggs require that you discard the shells and use those yellow things inside the eggs. Pulling our collective leg on that one, weren't you, sugar?

Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise, reserve the white part, dump the yolks onto a plate, and mash them with a fork. Add salt, pepper, a little vinegar, mustard, and mayo. Mix well until they are creamy but not runny. I don't measure these condiments, so you'll have to experiment to get them to suit your taste. I like salty, sour things, but you might not. Spoon this mixture back onto the egg whites, sprinkle with paprika, and arrange the deviled eggs on a platter. I have several deviled egg plates, but they aren't necessary. Break some wooden toothpicks in half and stick a half, pointed side down, into each egg. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. (The toothpicks keep the plastic wrap from sticking to the eggs.) It isn't necessary to use the paprika; it's just a southern custom. You could put an olive on each egg half.

When you make egg salad, you could chop some olives and add them. This mixture makes a good sandwich.

I think you're really trying to improve your eating habits, and you seem to be eager to learn. What's worrying us is the lack of protein in your diet. Your brain cells and the rest of your body are begging for protein!

ugh, everytime i stand up i get really really lightheaded and my ears start to ring wtf is going on.... i feel so tired like i did not sleep at all but i got plently of sleep, i would blame it on some form of food but since my stomic is not bothering me at all (foronce) i dont know what it is, i got vitemens i got b12 pills im eating balanced meals ARG

hey there

this use to happen to me eveytime i stood up it eentually subsided now it happends probably a few times a week sometimes it even happens when i'm standing

my ears ring really bad my vision goes blurry and i get dizzy

i usually just cover my ears with my hands and close my eyes it only lasts about 5 to 10 seconds for me it is scarry though

ive complained about this sooo many time to docs they don't know what it is

i have low iron

blood sugar problems

and labile hypertention

in my case it could be any of the above causing it

are you drinking enough water..... i was told dehydration could cause this as well

would post lists but theres nothing to be proud of i guess, still eating some processed stuff. like my cereal, very small amount of chips but i gave up all the engerbars and ricecrispy treats and stuff like that. I did add protein with the eggs though and i have to say WOW it helpd alot thanks for the advice, now instead of having to eat like every 45 minutes its like every 5 hours man it makes a big diffrince. Now i just need to get some omega3, i really dont wanna risk the bobs so i am looking for flax seed oil instead i figure i would use that instead of my olive oil for my cooking

penguin Community Regular

I don't think flax seed oil is meant for cooking, I think it has a really low smoke point. I would add the oil to my salads. Eggs have a lot of Omega-3's :)

ravenwoodglass Mentor

Hi Lister, I'm glad the extra protein is helping. ChelsE is right about the lower flash point for Flax, as she said add it to salads etc. In addition Olive Oil also has a low flash point so when I use it for frying stuff I add just a touch of a regular cooking oil. This raises the flash point enough to improve safety. This will also keep butter from burning. I had to almost burn down 2 kitchens before someone gave me this hint. When you use olive oil for frying don't use the Extra Virgin stuff (1st press) go ahead and get some 3rd press (read cheaper, you can tell by the price) plain olive oil. It will be easier on your budget.

that's awesome the protein thing worked. you can try to find omega-3 eggs. that might be an option for you...or you can put flax oil on your salads and stuff...

Lister,

Do you have a Whole Foods in your area? My Whole foods sells Natures Path flaxmeal...its organic too.

Lister Rising Star

nope but i got a co-op i can check out eventually. I have to say wow its been a very plesent few days, i have been pain/stomic problem free for about 3 days, besides in the morning, from the second i wake up tell i eat im in pain but once i eat its goes away. the eggs really have helped it really surpresis the stomic pains for up to 5 hours unlike most food that is 45 min. cant find flax oil yet but i have not got to co-op yet. post more later gtg

Wow, Lister, that's great news! You are inspiring me to eat more eggs.

Hi, Glad things are going well. It is amazing sometimes what a little extra protein can do. If you are going to continue adding eggs frequently to your daily diet I would not worry too much about finding the flax. Eggs are an excellent source of the nutrients that the oil would provide. It sounds like your figured out what your body needed and I am relieved to hear you are doing better.

im doing this in white color, if u want to read highlight, just confused about something figure i would post here instead of in a new thread, but its kinda gross so i figure i would hide it.2 questions. Now i dont really know what a healthy bm is supposed to look like so this could be it but the color of my bms changed overnight, to a very lighter color almost tan, instead of the ordanry greenish color is this normal? also i think i may have a anebia of some sort, i keep having bms that contain a snot like substance, and today the snot had blood in it, its really strange..should i consult my doctor? i think he is just going to reply with "you where already tested for parasites and bactera, its nothing" not sure if i should even worry about it.

lorka150 Collaborator

it sounds like fatty stools, associated with celiac... and the blood? DEFINITELY go see the doctor.

Mango04 Enthusiast

Here is my question:

What is the treatment for parasites? Does it always require medication? I thought there was some sort of anti-fungal diet you could go on to try and eliminate them.

aprilh Apprentice
yesterday was none, it was the day before that i smoked alot, but i felt b etter in the afternoon, today i feel the same but it is not getting better

as for thyroids and blood suger that i dont know

i know they ran like 5 diffrent blood tests, and i had a catscan to test for thyroid problems but other then that im clueless

update- im getting hot cold flashs gar why today

It sounds like your adrenal glands. My symptoms are very similar to those, lightheaded, dizzy, hot and cold flashes, very weak, kidneys hurt, etc. I racked my brain trying to figure out what was wrong with me. I went to the urgent care to have my blood sugar checked (thought I put myself into some kind of diabetic state) and my kidneys/bladder checked. Everything fine. Took my adrenal support (Adaptocrine) and immediately started feeling better.

Stress on the body can stress your adrenals.

Have you been eating gluten? I know when I do I get very mucousy on the inside. I don't know. I think the blood in your bm's mean you are having a "true allergic reaction" to a substance.

Lister Rising Star

it was not like blood blood. it was only in the snot, and i had reguler bms but there was one thing of snot in it that had blood in the snot, not blood on my stools though just on the snot substance. i had 2 of these snot things today, but i also had alot of stools(skinny stools not fat, but they were like skinny and was like a good stream of them) but like i said the blood was only in the snot thing, should i still go see a doctor?

and no i have not been eating gluten, i am very strickt on my diet and have taken every cc thought into mind, and i dont feel glutened infact ifeel pretty good just those worried me

Lister Rising Star

well i just, wanna vent a bit, still looking for answers from my problems above, but this is unrelated

stupid morning stupid eggs. i woke up extra early for work, so i could scramble some eggs and have nice hot eggs for breakfast, i did that, they looked great, then i went to put saranrap on them and the bowl flung out of my hands and onto the floor :( stupid morning

also i had more snot guys this morning, but no blood just the snot stuff and reguler bms. should i really worry? i dont want to call my doc unless i know its really important because i dont want him to get the wrong idea of me and think im a hypo.

Lister Rising Star

also i keep having shooting pain inside my arse, like somewhere deep in my arse, i get a shooting pain that will last like 1 sec and then go away and then come back and then go away :( whats going on now :(

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. 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. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
