Adding New Foods To Our Diets

Sometimes I think our bodies are telling us to back off on some of these new foods and regular foods that we are eating. My doctor told me once, years ago, that the same food should only be eaten once or twice a week, otherwise we can get sick or yucky feeling from them. A lot of times when a person eats to much sugar/sweets we feel yucky for awile. I think that can be with any other food also. Maybe our bodies like rice, but not everyday for a week or two. Same with corn, I know if I eat it for more than one day, I get a yucky feeling. I know a lot of us are on really restricted diets, so maybe this would not work for you, but I am a firm believer that each food we eat should be rotated every 3-5 days. Same with apples, if I eat one, I am fine, but if I eat them every day, I get a yucky feeling for awhile. I think sometimes we tend to overdo it sometimes. I went on vacation last month, I made a whole bunch of rice flour baked goodies. One item probably would have been fine, but I ate cookies, brownies, and bread. I was so bloated up for about a week or so after. I think we need to give our bodies a break from some things, by rotating our foods better. Just some thoughts I had while reading some of the different messages on the board this morning.

I don't have a problem eating rice or eggs frequently myself. I was told by the doctor I saw for allergy testing that when you get the flu you need to be careful of what you eat because you could develop an allergy to it. I thought that was interesting.

That is the theory behind the rotation diet. If you find yourself very sensitive, you might try it. But think: in prehistoric times people ate what was available when it was available. Although there might have been many different foods to eat at different seasons of the year, the reality probably was that when something was available, they ate as much as they could while it lasted.

I always feel yucky when I eat too many sweet carbs, which would be a binge on homemade cookies, brownies, and cake-type things. As long as I eat wholegrain homemade bread (brown rice/buckwheat, etc) and other whole foods, I don't binge and I'm ok.

Anything that makes you feel yucky should probably be avoided.

I'm trying to rotate my foods too, but it is hard since most food comes in large packages. Like parsley, chard, watermelons, etc. And no one helps me eat these things so it is left up to me. :(

I found out that I feel bad if I eat too many processed grains at a time too. I will get a yeast infection very quickly too.

I had to stop baking pb cookies because I couldn't stop eating them. Freezing them didn't help either. They were calling my name. :lol:

Same for the gluten free breads. I couldn't stay out of them. <_<

Marcia, I hear you. We've been buying enjoy life cookies and they don't last long. A serving is two and they are small. My hubby and I always eat 6 apiece and the kids eat 3 or 4. :ph34r:

What helps me is to make the cookie dough and freeze the individual cookies unbaked. When I want a cookie, I take it out of the freezer, pop in into the toaster oven, and voila! One homemade cookie.

      Your high lactulose test, indicating out of control Small Itenstinal Bacterial O,vergrowth is one symptom.  You likely have low vitamin D, another symptom.  Unless you get lots of sun.   Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, often leading to subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  A lot of people have these symptoms just before an acute phase of Celiac Disease.  Each of the symptoms can have multiple causes that are not celiac disease,  but when you start having multiple symptoms,  and each symptom is treated as a separate disease,  you have to think, maybe these are all one cause. celiac disease. There is a misconception that Celiac Disease is  a gastrointestinal disease and symptoms are only gastro related.  Wrong.  It is an autoimmune disease and has many symptoms that usually are disregarded.  I made that mistake until 63 y.o.  It can cause a dermatitis herpetiformis rash,  white spots on the brain.  It caused my alcoholism, arthritis, congested sineses, protein spots on my contacts lenses, swollen prostate, symptoms that are "part of aging". You may be tolerating gluten, the damage will happen. Of curiosity though, your age, sex, are you outside a lot without sunscreen?

      It would be interesting to see if you were tested again for blood antibodies after abandoning the gluten free diet for several weeks to a few months what the results would be. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not necessarily suggesting you do this but it is an option to think about. I guess I'm saying there is a question in my mind as to whether you actually ever had celiac disease. As I said above, the blood antibody testing can yield false positives. And it is also true that celiac-like symptoms can be produced by other medical conditions.

      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there is still a lot we don't know and celiac disease continues to surprise us with new findings on a frequent basis. So, we would not advise you to abandon a strict gluten-free diet. Perhaps you can draw consolation from the fact that at the present time you seem to be able to consume gluten without consequences when in situations where you do not have the option to eat gluten-free. But I would advise you to not generalize your recent experience such that you throw caution to the wind. But I want to go back to what you said about being diagnosed by blood test in the early 2000's. Did you not also have that confirmed with an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel lining? Normally, a celiac disease diagnosis is not concluded based on a blood test alone because there can be false positives. What kind of doctor did this testing? Was it done in the U.S. or overseas? In the last few years, it has become common in the U.K. to grant a celiac diagnosis from blood testing alone if the antibody test scores are 10x normal or greater. But that practice has not caught on in the U.S. yet and was not in place internationally in the early 2000's. Do you have a record of the tests that were done, the scores and also the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the tests?
