I'm In A Bad Mood!

Well..I do want to say that I had a good holiday weekend. We went out of town with some family and had a great time. However...there were a few times that I could have just cried over. It was really hot out and everyone stoped for ice cream like three different times. I had to sit and watch while they enjoyed there ice cream.(ate in car) I was so frustrated, but thankful I didn't eat it because I didn't want problems with my stomach. By the way, My stomach did great. Very happy!

So here is why I need to vent. So I can't eat ice cream, not a huge deal, but I am really missing dairy right now. I am tired of being tired latley. I feel like I work to come home to go back to work. Latley I have been eating dinner after 8:30pm. I never feel like cooking, especially coming up with ideas on what to cook. So I spend or I should say waste all this time trying to figure out what to eat. I am tired of eating the same things all the time. I need a change, but I am seriously afraid of trying new things becasue of food sensitivities.

I feel like sometimes I am a hypocondriac (sp?) I can't eat corn, I started itching when I ate it last time. I ate tomatoes the other day, and had a rash, but was I reacting to something else? A month or two ago I could eat both without problems. My allergys have been horrible. I have been using my inhaler more often. What in the world gives? I was thinking about only eating a couple of different foods for a bit to see if maybe I incorporated something into my diet that I shouldn't have.

I also don't feel like I have anytime to get things done that I need to. I am always getting up too late in the morning to make breakfast, let alone a lunch. I come home and have no energy let alone desire to do laundry or dishes. I hate spending my weekends cleaning, since I don't want to do any duirng the week. WHY am I in such a rut? Any advise or thoughts would be helpful. Thanks for letting me vent!

No real advise would love to vent with you. I too am having trouble feeling up to cooking plus now I have to have some surgery and will have to rely on others to provide so that will not be good I know.

Hope it gets better for you soon. When I am feeling decent, I try to cook up some breads, deserts etc to keep on hand in freezer.

P.S. I have tried the Lactaid free milk and seem to do better on it. I do not use it a lot but for those items that really need milk or I have even made pudding with it.

I know how u feel and go ahead and vent , we all need to from time to time.

I'am also lactose intol. and it doesn't even bother me others have ice cream cuz I know how sick it makes me :blink:

But maybe u r still getting somethigns in ur diet that r making u so tierd and not able to do things u want to, I know when I get glutened I feel like poo for days (no energy to even do the dishes too)

try to pin point certain foods and write them down after u eat them so if they made u sick u can eleimante them all together.

I know the food situation is so mind boggeling too trying to find diff stuff everyday of the week that is free of all we can have really is hard to do :(

But I have found out that when I buy rice at diff stores they have diff recipes .

So maybe u could do that and see if u can find diff ideas for ur supper plans

Hope u get some answers and get better soon

Best of luck to u :)

Kimberly, Hi :)

Venting is good! I noticed that you have been gluten-free for about 5 months - I have been for close to 4 months and have also been having similar feelings to yours lately. After doing really well and thinking I was accepting my new lifestyle, I went into a real dive last week. Maybe that is something that happens after the longterm sets in.

The daily cooking from scratch of most things gets to be such a drag after awhile, especially when you are tired. It is so important to eat nutritiously throughout the day - I know - easier said than done. Some of the things that have helped me are: Keeping cooked chicken in the fridge as much as possible. Also, I make a large pot of rice - don't have a rice cooker, but I do have an oven method that is so quick and easy and the rice turns out well each time. Would be happy to post it if you are interested. It is great to have chicken and rice on hand - just add a veg and it is a meal. Can be jazzed up with different sauces and condiments depending on what you like. Hard boiled eggs, good for quick protein. When I get in a cooking mood, which hasn't been all that often lately, I do cook large casseroles and freeze them in serving sized containers for times when it just isn't in me to cook. Also make a lot of homemade soups in large quantities and do the same.

Do you keep a food journal? This has been such a help for me to figure out what my sensitivities are. There seem to be new ones popping up all the time though. It is a long journey. Wonderful that this board is here where there is always someone who understands what we are going through.

I hope you are feeling better soon. :)

Gail

      thank you so much for all your help and information its very helpful, mind blowing but helpful

      @rjane, yes, it often feels overwhelming in the beginning. But let me encourage you by saying that it will get easier. You and your husband will develop, over time, a sixth sense of how gluten is typically hidden in the food supply and where it is found and you will develop an inventory of foods that you can trust and to stock your pantry with. The largest risk involves eating out at restaurants. Even if you order things that are naturally gluten free, you have no control over cross contamination happening back in the kitchen in how things are prepared and handled. Another trap is eating at other people's homes who are trying to accommodate your husband's need to eat gluten free but...

      I am not sure if they have tested him for SIBO  should I ask the hospital if they have tested him for that, there is so much to learn in the beginning I am not sure what or who to ask I am thinking the good folks on this site will help me, thanking you for your help

      Has your hubbie been checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)? This is not uncommon in the celiac population. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/21820-small-intestinal-bacterial-overgrowth-sibo
