Finally Feeling Better

I just wanted to say that I am actaully feeling better. I posted a couple of days ago becuase I was thinking about going and seeing the specialist again..but I wanted to try one more thing before I did and it has helped.

I completely took out of my diet: eggs, soy, dairy, grains, rice, potatoes, nuts, beans, corn and gluten of course. I FEEL so much better and it has only been two days. So basicly I am eating similar to the paleo diet ( veggies, fruit, meat and salad) and I feel great. I have not had the big D in three days. I will eat anything as long as I don't have the big D! My stomach is not killing me nor is it nosiy anymore. I have energy. I am hoping this stays this way. I plan on eating like this as long as I am feeling good.

I was looking back at my food journal and it seems like I had symptoms with just about all those food items I mentioned above. I actually had a reaction, itching and breathing problems to corn so that is definitely out of my diet. I know that I am eliminating almost everything from my diet, but if I feel better does that matter? I also wanted to thank those who gave me advise on changing the things that I eat, especially those high allergen foods. It has helped tremendously. I will keep you posted.

I have a list that's as long as that, as do many folks on this board and when people ask me, "well, what do you eat?" I don't think they have any realization how many foods are actually out there. I believe that we're programmed early on to be eating these common allergens for most of our lives and then we react to them? Hello? :D

Welcome to the paleo world! People think it's such a restrictive diet but really, you look at what most people eat, it's probably a short list of things... maybe 20 items in it. They're all just variations on grains. Anyway, with vegetables, spices, fruit and meat, the variety is infinite!

Hint: Look at SE Asian foods for loads of ideas on what you can eat (minus the rice). I'm becoming a Thai food cook. :)

Aha, lectins! I thought so. Have you taken out tomatoes and peppers, too? I am very glad you are feeling better.

Almost paleo (with alittle rice) is helping me, too. Congratulations! I hope you continue to feel better.

I'm very happy for you that you are feeling better! I'm to the same place. I can't eat much but meats, non-starchy vegetables, fruits. I do feel better and haven't had intestinal problems at all. I did try some nuts the other day and my joints hurt so badly now, I'm giving those up forever I think!

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed...

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
