Do You Retry Foods That You Know Makes You Feel Blaw?

Ok..I have been just eating veggies, salads, meats and fruit and I feel great. Can't tell you the last time I have had D. Hope I don't jinks(sp?) myself! I HAVE been staying away from the dairy, eggs, corn, potatoes and grains because I usually feel sick. Diary & eggs give me the big D, corn makes me itch, grains and potatoes bloat me up so bad I look prego.

Well last night I tried a potatoe AGAIN. WOW! I was so bloated I could barely move. I don't know why I do this to myself, but sometimes I like to see if my system has changed and obviusly it hasn't. Will it ever? Good questions, but for now I will just stick to my veggies, fruits, salads and meats. Why does the grains and potatoes cause bloating?

I guess before I was diagnosed with celiac I could never tell which foods were causing my bloating, but now that I am gluten free, you can definitely tell. Just wanted to know if there were any others who try this and find out it doen't work. One good thing from being diagnosed is that I actually know what my body likes and dislikes. I listen to it now. I never used to. It actually feels good knowing that I can control my body and how it feels. Thanks for listening :)

I do occasionally if I'm not sure if it was the food or just a back stomach day. And I did the peanut test multiple times before finally giving in and giving it up. Once I know for sure a food is a problem I won't test myself anymore.

It sounds like u, like most of us, suffered from celiac for quite a while before getting it figured out and going gluten-free.

In most of these cases, the collateral damage on the battlefield of the gut is the intestinal walls, increasing the permeability. It's the well-known leaky-gut syndrome.

What happens is that partially digested food particles can now get thru and into the blood. There they are seen as foreign invaders and the immune system makes anti-bodies to attack them. It's why so many of us have problems w/ non-gluten foods. (Tho casein & lactose have different situations)

But the gut DOES repair while we stay gluten-free. And allegedly the other food sensitivities can go away, but shouldn't be tested sooner than 6mos to a year.

I too test occasionally but have so far just seen a reduction of symptoms - not elimination. I remain hopeful.

      Fiber-Metabolizing Bacteria Could Boost Gut Health in Celiac Disease

      That is really interesting, especially because it points to how the gut microbiome may still stay altered in celiac disease even after going gluten-free. The idea that a fiber like inulin could help feed beneficial bacteria and reduce inflammation is encouraging, although I imagine some people with celiac disease or other gut issues might still need to introduce...

      Digestive symptoms yet negative celiac screening

      @Irishgirl5, it does sound possible for those numbers to fluctuate a bit, especially when they are near the upper end of normal, but ongoing symptoms still make it understandable that you are concerned. The fact that his tissue transglutaminase immunoglobulin A is still technically in range does not always make the picture feel any clearer, especially with...

      trehalose intolerance

      @Stegosaurus, that is really interesting, and it sounds like you have done a lot of careful digging into what might be driving your symptoms. The connection between dysbiosis, food reactions, and specific additives or sugars is clearly complicated, but your point about hidden ingredients and individual tolerance makes a lot of sense. It is also encouraging...

      Dreams Macao Beach in Punta Cana DR

      I've not been there before, but it looks fabulous! In general, 5 star resorts like this are typically very good at handling gluten-free needs, so I believe you'll be in good hands. I would still pay close attention of the foods offered, and ask the staff questions if something looks off.

      iron digestibility

      That all sounds reasonable, especially with kidney concerns in the picture, and it makes sense that you would be cautious about increasing anything too aggressively. It is encouraging that the gluten-free diet seems to have helped with the microscopic blood in your urine, even if other kidney issues are still ongoing. Your meal pattern also stands out, because...

The idea that a fiber like inulin could help feed beneficial bacteria and reduce inflammation is encouraging, although I imagine some people with celiac disease or other gut issues might still need to introduce it carefully depending on tolerance. It definitely feels like an area worth watching, because anything that could help support healing beyond just avoiding gluten would be valuable.

      @Irishgirl5, it does sound possible for those numbers to fluctuate a bit, especially when they are near the upper end of normal, but ongoing symptoms still make it understandable that you are concerned. The fact that his tissue transglutaminase immunoglobulin A is still technically in range does not always make the picture feel any clearer, especially with tummy pain, nausea, constipation, and diarrhea still going on. Anxiety can certainly add to gastrointestinal symptoms, but I can see why you would not want to assume that explains everything. It sounds like keeping an eye on things and being cautious with diet changes makes sense, especially if symptoms continue. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

The connection between dysbiosis, food reactions, and specific additives or sugars is clearly complicated, but your point about hidden ingredients and individual tolerance makes a lot of sense. It is also encouraging that you found something, like the fermented Florastor approach, that seems to help you tolerate certain foods better. Posts like this are helpful because they remind people that sometimes the reaction is not just about the obvious ingredient on the label.

It is encouraging that the gluten-free diet seems to have helped with the microscopic blood in your urine, even if other kidney issues are still ongoing. Your meal pattern also stands out, because if you are eating a lot of bread and cereals at night, adding a bit more protein or something more filling may very well help with appetite and overall balance. It sounds like you are thinking this through carefully, and given everything you are managing, that seems like a very sensible approach.
