You On A Diet?

Anyone reading the "You on a Diet" book I started doing this 3 days ago and it is getting hard to find things that I can eat on this diet. Just curious if anyone else is doing it. The book is great and makes a lot of since but doesn't mention what you can eat if you can't eat whole wheat.

It is hard to diet, and probably even harder to find a book or a diet that you can follow to the letter, since you are gluten free.

I'm noticing there are alot of dieting programmes on the tele, and a few of them advocate what looks pretty much a gluten free diet, emphasising fresh veges, meat, fish etc and fruit with not many grains at all. So our diet must be healthy.

The best diet I have come across is this gluten free diet without all the added extra things like gluten-free treats, muesli bars and cakes etc. I just stick with fresh meat, fruit, dairy and vegetables and maybe a slice of bread a day or some rice or corn crackers and possibly a little something special now and then just to make things not seem too restrictive.

I pay particular care to how I cook my food and obviously deep frying is out, but I ensure I use a little olive oil. One thing about this diet for me is that there is not as much fat or as much salt in it.

I count the calories, which is so yesterday, but it works for me, and you just have to remember that what you put in has to be expended in energy, or else it goes on as extra padding.

Good luck with your diet KayJay and I hope it works. So far I have lost a couple of kilos since Christmas.

body 4 Life is a great diet/work out plan and it is easy to substitute gluten free items. I start it again next week!

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thank you this really helped.

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.
