whats up everyone,

My name is Danny from Fort Lauderdale, Fl. just got DX with celiac approx. 2 months ago. After my DX, i started shopping at a place called Whole Foods, which is nothing but organic foods and some gluten free items. As far as i know, i've been strict with my diet but it seems like i still have minor symptoms. i know i should be asking my doctor but sometimes is better asking someone with the same issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

By the way, is there anyone that knows of any celiac groups/ meetings in south florida that i could attend to???

Sincerely,

Danny

Hi!

Welcome to the forum! I love whole foods. I am there almost every day. I would be careful about some of their prepared food. I have gotten sick on more than one occasion from the prepared foods. One time they swore up and down that their eggplant did not have bread crumbs and after three people went to find out and they had already packaged my food they came back and told me that they had mixed up the signs and the eggplant did have breadcrumbs. They gave me a different eggplant dish which they swore up and down was fine and I still got sick. Most of their stuff is fine but don't count on the staff for help.

Danny, welcome.

You need to remember that it took some time to do some damage to your intestines and like-wise, it will take some time to heal. You may continue to have symptoms because the gluten free diet is not an immediate fix.

Make sure that you check you toiletries, shampoos, lotions, lip balm or ANYTHING that can get into your mouth. Gluten can hide everywhere.

I would recommend that you be diary light, if not off all dairy in the beginning. If you have villi damage dairy can cause the same symptoms as gluten, without the intestinal damage.

I have found that the best source of gluten free and related issues answers are here on this site. This is where the experts are. Always feel free to ask away.

Hey Danny just wanted to hi and welcome :rolleyes: our doc told us to read on this site because he could not tell us how to live a gluten free diet. If you have any questions this is the place for answers. I have learned so much here. Whole Foods is a good place to get special gluten-free food that you cant find at other stores. Just make sure to read labels always because companies can change at any time. Good luck and let us know if you need any help.

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
