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.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
