Fasting

hi guys,

has anyone ever tried fasting to get a really haywire system under control? I've just felt terrible all week, keep doing really dumb things with cc (the peanut butter jar, a frying pan, a really dumb choice to eat a salad w/friend at Panara). and i keep finding the only way to stay brain fog free in the morning is to --not eat. bad i know, but i have to do it sometimes to get some work done (i write freelance stories). i was thinking of drinking only vegetable juice for a few days and seeing how that goes, because everytime i eat anything i get dizzy. except cofee. have you guys ever tried anything similar?

at first i was so much better gluten-free, but now i'm feeling bad again.

thanks,

Sara

Hi Sara,

I've never tried fasting, but I feel the same way you do. Right now the last thing I want to do is eat anything. I had been doing seemingly well on the gluten-free diet, but lately I've been so miserable. I can't seem to eat anything without feeling sick. Yesterday I had the worst day since I've been diagnosed (~2.5 years ago). I'd be interested to see if anyone has any input on fasting to kind of clear out the system and let it settle down.

Also, what others have suggested to me elsewhere here is to try an elimination diet, like the "caveman" or Paleo diet. I just ordered the Paleo Diet book this morning. Basically, you eat fruits, veggies, meats, seafood... no grains, legumes, dairy, soy, processed sugars, starchy/root veggies. I'm going to give it a try.

Good luck

Fasting is a part of my life.

Whenever I know I am going somewhere, the day before I have to fast. That way, there is nothing left in my system. Unfortunately, it doesn't do alot of good when you have a totally empty stomach and feel like you are going to pass out, but at least I can go out and actually make it to the bathroom in time. Usually, I only have about a 10 second window to get to the bathroom, but at least when I fast for 24 hours before, the "explosive nature" of my diarrhea settles down enough for me to go out temporarily for an outing.....

Hi, when i start feeling bad i fast for 2-3 days and only drink fruit juice and eat jello...and on the third day i'm like a brand new woman again:) Also, i see a holistic doctor from nigeria and he has helped me more than any GI doctor has!! He currently has me doing a detoxifing kit (no drugs...just all natural supplements that your GI tract/system needs...like the good bacteria)

I can never not eat for more than a couple of hours or i get really sick, not sure why but it just makes me feel absolutely horrible and i cant stand it, i try not to eat when i get gluten but then i usually pass out so that is not a choice.

it works for some people but not for others...

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure. These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract. Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop. Ataxia is just one of over two hundred...

      symptoms.

      @Rebeccaj, When you smell toast or pasta cooking, that means that particles of that food are floating around in the air. Airborne gluten can then be inhaled and swallowed, meaning the food particles get into your digestive tract. If you're careful to avoid gluten and are still having symptoms, those symptoms could be caused by vitamin deficiencies...

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure.  These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract.  Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop.  Ataxia is just one of over two hundred symptoms of Celiac Disease. Some people with Celiac Disease also make tTg IgA 6 antibodies in response to gluten exposure.  The tTg IgA 6 antibodies attack the brain, causing ataxia.  These tTg IgA 6 antibodies are also found in people with Parkinson's disease, though they may not have Celiac Disease.  First degree relatives (parents, siblings, children) of those diagnosed with Celiac should be tested as well.  Celiac is genetic.  Your mom and sister should be tested for Celiac, too!   Definitely a good idea to keep to a gluten free diet.
