I am pretty sure I was glutened around Christmas. I have had the "D" ever since. Usually, when I get glutened the "D" lasts for about three weeks and eases up in the fourth. I am now six weeks into this and still feeling horrible.

So I decided to cut out all processed foods to see if I could get myself better. Started the "diet" yesterday. I am trying to eat chicken/meat, vegies, fruits and eggs. Any other ideas on things I could eat that are dairy free and unprocessed?

For those that have done something similar how quickly did the "d" disappear?

For those with intolerences, is "d" a symptom of an intolerence? Once feeling better how quickly did you react when a food was reintroduced? I am wondering if I am intolerent to dairy. Can intolerences be tested for?

The gluten-free diet is a breeze compared to this one. I miss my junk food. I am trying hard not to cheat and indulge in a gluten-free goodie.

Thanks for your help. I just am in a bad spot. I got used to feeling good!

I am VERY New to this myself and am on a strict diet. I would suggest eating brown rice with garlic everyday. Also start taking(if youare not already) a probiotic, this will help settled down an inflamed stomach mucosa. I also have "d" as a symptom of intolerance. My nutritionist has suggested drinking carrot juice as it helps to soak up the extra water in the gut. I am starting to feel better. I have had a few days of solid stool and I have been doing this for about a month. I also eat chicken, fish, sweet potatos and eat yogurt (plain)!!!! Hope this helps, and hope you get feeling better soon!!

This happened to me last year, and I could only down about 8 foods for about 8 months. Finally, I started to feel a little better. Have you tried an elimination diet? I was in a tough situation. Like you, I am casein free, but I am also allergic to buckwheat and rice, and some other foods.

Regarding the last poster's response, I would not recommend garlic. A lot of people get digestive trouble from it.

:o My Nutritionist would say to take gluten free digestive enzymes and high dose "live" probiotics.

Now when I get glutened I do both for several days.

You can also eat legumes, nuts, seeds, and gluten-free grains.

One test for intolerance is simply to eliminate the food and see how you do. Enterolab has testing for dairy, egg, soy, and yeast intolerances, also. Some places test your blood (they may say it is for "sensitivities" or "allergies," rather than "intolerances"), but I'm not sure they are completely accurate. You might have to confirm any findings with personal experience.

I think I am going to have to see the doc. It seems to be getting worse not better. It is just so frustrating! I have been gluten-free for almost two years and have been feeling great. I think this is really getting me depressed as well. Thanks everyone for your ideas!

Is it even possible you're continuing to be glutened by something and not realizing?

I just had a glutening because - before going gluten free, I spilled flour in my kitchen. I vacuumed it up. Well, when I went to change the bag (since going gluten free in on Jan1), I had a SERIOUS reaction because I actually breathed in the wheat flour. OH MY...I was sick for at least 4 days so far. And I just can't shake it. I think it's in the AC now....having hubby change the filter just in case.

Anyway....is it possible?

Yes it is possible. I have been slowing going through the list of things I do. I have especially been looking at my shampoo and chapstick. I am the only one who is gluten-free in the household. So dh and I are going back through the routines to make sure I am not getting cc. It is just so hard to be this sick again. I hate it.

Thanks,

Hez

cross contamination is so awful...

I get sick from just touching something that someone else touched with wheaty hands - unless I remember to wash my hands before touching my food.

Maybe get your own little refrigerator to keep your food in.

Are you cooking in teflon pans or cast iron? cutting board - new? Only you use it?

Is there any flour in the house? If so, I would think that is the cause of your problem. Like the post above the flour poofs up & gets on & in everything - even your lungs & throat which goes down to your tummy. Anyone with celiac disease in a house that also contains flour - needs to just take the flour, container and all, & toss it in the trash. Bread crumbs are bad enough but there is no way that you will not get sick from flour.

My dh does not use flour. Really the only gluten in the house is their cereal and bread. Everything else is gluten-free. Dh even makes gluten-free pancakes even though I rarely eat them :lol: We have seperate condiments and he can only have his gluten in one area of the kitchen.

I am just really struggling. I feel awful even on no processed foods. I have spent most of the day reconfirming that all the things I use are gluten-free. I am so hoping this gets better in a few days. I will see the doc at the end of the month.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
