Update: I Feel Better

I feel so much better. I noticed a difference in 4 days. But I'm still having issues. I feel like I am eating gluten somewhere and I cant figure out where.... either that or my body is still recovering. Going gluten-free is hard work but I feel like this can only get better. I'm still dreaming of bread though... lol... and for some reason having sleeping problems.

I know this is a great place to come when you don't know anyone else who is going through this. I mostly just read through what everyone else has to say.

It's crazy because just a couple of days ago I was scared of all of this and now I can actually see and feel the difference. I think my other half can tell, too. Everyday he would hear about something not going right and now he can tell that I've been feeling better.

And one more thing, why in the hell is the food so expensive?!?! That can't be legal to sell a loaf of bread for almost $10. and the problem is that I miss bread that much!! :(

Thanks for your thoughts~

I am so happy you are seeing results! It's amazing, isn't it? :P

I would suggest investing in a bread machine and make your own. You can buy the bread mixtures. It is soooo much cheaper!

Hugs.

Dear Megan,

I am so glad you are recovering! I know what you mean about the prices! I cannot afford to buy any of the special stuff. I have to stick mostly with veggies and fruit. Meat, fish, chicken, and the like is what I need to have. Once in a great while, I get to have Glutino bars or something like Pamela's cookies. I agree that some of these prices should be illegal!

You may not feel a lot better until you stop eating dairy as well. I need to avoid dairy again.

I was doing much better until I began eating it. I could have other issues as well. There is a lot needing fixed to say the least in my case! :(

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

I know the pirces are outrageous, my mom bought me up some cookies this week, They were like 4:99 so i figured the whole box would be full of cookies, when i opened it up there was only 9 cookies, i was like omg, i better not get addcited to these cookies. Thank goodness i can eat jsut one or 2 and be happy, but still, its outageous.

I just bought some bread to, and it was terrible for 7 bucks an loaf. I am going back to the mix that is like 4 bucks, and the bread is bigger and much better. The stuff in the store pre-made is hard adn gross, at least the 2 brand i bought lol

I felt awesome the first week going gluten free, but im back to feeling terrible, i think its cause i had to give up casein and im upset about that. I am having major withdrawls, even tho i know i will get use to it someday lol.

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      By RMJ · Posted

      They don’t give a sample size (serving size is different from sample size) so it is hard to tell just what the result means.  However, the way the result is presented  does look like it is below the limit of what their test can measure, so that is good.

      @cristiana,  I react the same way.  Dairy consumption flushes out my digestive system within an hour, too! As casein is digested, it forms casomorphins that bind to opioid receptors in our bodies.  This is similar to digested gluten peptides being able to attach to opioid receptors in our bodies.   We have opioid receptors throughout our bodies including lots in the digestive tract. Casein raises tTg IgA antibodies just like gluten consumption does, which leads to further intestinal damage and continuing inflammation.  No wonder our bodies react to it by pushing the "emergency evacuation" ejection seat button! The mother of my childhood friend was British and introduced me to drinking tea properly with milk or cream.  I miss it so much.  And chocolate ice cream.  Not worth the after effects, though.  I've found taking Omega Three supplements (flaxseed oil, sunflower seed oil, evening primrose oil) helps shake those dairy cravings.   Green leafy veggies like broccoli, kale, and greens (mustard, turnip, collards) are great sources of calcium.  Avoid spinach as it is high in oxalates that block calcium absorption and may cause kidney stones.  Yes, more leafy greens are needed to reach the same amount of calcium in a glass of milk, but the greens have other benefits, like increased dietary fiber and polyphenols that act as antioxidants, reduce inflammation, and promote health.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards.  The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.   Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.  Another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.

      Hi, I bought Naked Nutrition Creatine. It lists itself as gluten free but is not certified. (It used to be, but they dropped it in the past year or two apparently.) I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading
