Oh, I am so sorry! I'm thinking of showing this to my DH...you are describing how I feel when I have gluten. I'm only 4-5 weeks into starting the gluten-free diet, and I'm still learning (and reacting to a few things). But I felt this way for years without understanding why. I kept buying the line that all moms (of three kids) feel tired...well, now I know that people who said that had no idea how tired I really felt. It was NOT normal. Comments like that kept me from looking for help, really.

How long do you have to do your challenge? Good luck! I'm afraid my GI will ask me to do a challenge. I went gluten-free after a positive blood test. The GI appointment is still a couple of weeks away, and I can't start back on gluten now since I'm nursing a baby who also seems sensitive to gluten (bleeding eczema sensitive, and it's clearing more each week that I'm off the stuff). If he wants a challenge, it's going to have to wait until this summer.

Sorry you're feeling so poorly. I hope you accomplish your objective (presumably a formal diagnosis).

i see my doc at the end of the month, he wanted me to go off gluten/wheat for 2 months and then try again for a couple of weeks and see how i feel. my blood work was negetive (after 2 weeks of being on the diet) he is curios to see if its a wheat allergy or accuall celiacs, ive had some hot flashes and now im feeling more constipated then anything, im about to eat my breakfast, cornflakes so we'll se how that goes. yes i blame being tired and stupid on having 4 kids to hang out with all day! :lol:

Be careful, keep well hydrated and if at any time you feel really sick, call your doctor right away.

I am particularly sensitive and ended up in the ER day 5 of mine.

well im wondering about the lag time for some people, im on day 3 and not feeling as awful as i had thought i would, i was very sick until feb when i cut the gluten out, what is the lag time for some people, im wondering now if its not celiac's just some senstitivities, and the fact that soy is in everything is not helping, im avoiding soy as best i can for the challenge. how long has it taken for some people to get sick again i was only gluten-free for 2 months? thanks.

For me when I did the Dr assisted elimination diet it took 4 days for the D to set in. He told me when we started that I should only add a food every 5 days. He said when the problem is an intolerance it can take up to 5 days for the reaction to hit the gut.

It does sound like you are definately reacting though. Remember that it is not just a 'gut' disease, it also effects the rest of the body. The antibodies are in the bloodstream and effecting the brain and even for some of us the joints muscles and other organs.

Do call your doctor and let him know what is going on.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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.
