Bacon

Hello

I am new to this. I was told only 2 months ago that I have celiacs. Been really strict with diet but still not feeling very well. Made worse yesturday by eating bacon at lunch time. Has anyone else had a problem with fatty, greasy foods. Felt sick all afternoon and became really tired when I got home. Wondering if the lack of bread products makes you unable to digest more greasy foods? Any ideas.

Hope to hear from some of you.

Take Care

One thing I can gather is since going gluten free you do not probably eat a lot of greasy foods, I know I don't, I used to pizza, Mcdonalds, Wendys...the list goes on and on. Now I don't and when I do eat something fatty I tend to feel more weighed down. If that is a way to describe it. I do eat bacon frequently though. I don't usally have problems with it.

Hi Jenny, and welcome to the board :)

When you are in the inital stages of healing especially, you may not be able to handle higher fat foods. Also, are you still consuming dairy? While the intestine is healing, it's a good idea to eliminate dairy for a few months. At that point, you could try some again and see how you do with it.

I would suggest a simpler diet containing meats, eggs, veggies, fruits, rice, etc until you are feeling better.

It's also normal to be feeling tired at this point. Try and get as much rest as you can, drink a lot of good water and just give it some more time. It dosen't happen overnight, but you will feel better! ;)

Let us know if there's anything else we can help you with.

For a long time I had troulbe, and sometimes still do, if I've had a high fat content food. Chips, bacon. etc. Fortunately I can say "see, it's just from your lunch" and don't freak out that I'm "sick" again.

Oh yes, definately. I'm only a month gluten free, but fatty, greasy foods do not sit well yet. Give it some time, as you heal, you'll find you can introduce things back into your diet. But for now I'd stick with lean meats, fruits,veggies, and rice. Even high starchy foods like potatoes can be hard to digest if you haven't healed enough. I made some fried pork chops and poatoes last week that I thought was going to kill me :o

Yes, I recall feeling sick after eating hotdogs. Bacon can do the same. Now if I eat bacon, I limit myself to 2 slices. I also remember waking up in the night to be sick after a rich meal at a restaurant, fettucini alfredo I think. But yes, high fat foods have been hard to digest.

Dear Jenny1972,

I had my gallbladder out, so I have to watch my fat intake. The Celiac's made my gallbladder go bad when I was 20, and I had to have it removed. If this persists, getting that checked out would be a good idea. I was told to cut the dairy again. I was feeling a lot better the first few months, then I started feeling bad again. I think that is when I began eating dairy. So, I am going to have to cut it out gain to see if that is the trouble.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

P.S. We have trouble digesting fat, and malabsorbtion is an issue, which could cause discomfort too.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
