Wow, I just started it last week. I just went up to two packs. I know the first few days I felt a little nauseous, but other than that pretty good. I have heard it can cause you to feel fluey, headachy, nauseous, tired etc. It is important to start slow, working up from one packet to start. Drink lots of water and take a fiber supplement to help you with elimination. Are you doing the candida diet with it? I am just cutting sugar. I eat very healthy overall. Let me know how you are doing, and I will keep you posted as well.

I actually felt a little better mentally today, but for some reason my arms and legs feel really tired, and a little tingly. I have had some bloating also. It has only been 3 days, so well see. How are you doing. Dis you have tingly tired limbs like me?

No, just a bit of nausea here and there. I think I have been feeling a little more clear headed as well. I am feeling tired today, but it is hard to tell, because I have days like that anyway. Are you following the diet or just doing Threelac? I already avoid sugar and yeast. (I do have organic ice cream once a week). No yeast and maybe a few pears a week. I actually feel the worst if I eat a starchy grain like white rice, or corn. I have noticed in addition to some fleeting nausea, being very hungry the past few days. Are you taking fiber supplement and drinking lots of water? How many packs are you taking??

I did not take threelac, but did a diet with absolutely no sugar, including fruit. It was tough. The hardest part, though, was by about the end of the first week (was aiming for three weeks, then adding back fruit), I could barely walk up my own driveway. I was physically so tired I couldn't do anything but get out of bed and move to a chair. This doesn't work in my house where my dog demands a bit more attention than that. So I had an almond shake -- so this was two weeks into it maybe. I could feel myself getting better as I swallowed.

I need to do the damned thing again because I've been having a lot of bloating and have accidentally gotten into the sugar again in black tea (used to drink green tea which I don't like sugar in). This time, though, I'll go more slowly - take a month and eat some low glycemic fruits.

Take care and good luck.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By trents · Posted

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By Skydawg · Posted

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      Gluten Free Cannabis Edibles

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By RMJ · Posted

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
