Bringing Back The Dairy


Lister

Recommended Posts

Lister Rising Star

so after months and months of c issuses i desided to listen to my doc and start to have dairy again. since doing so i have become alot more regular with only like 1 day bouts of c issues but not nearly as bad as it was. but every once and a while i am now passing what looks like green marbles. i did a search and the only thing i could describe them as is either chunks of bile or gallstones. on this note is this a good thing? like is it the dairy expunging things that were stuck in me? or is it the dairy giving them to me? i cant really ask my doc since he does not listen to me at all anymore (hes a jerk) on a side note though i have had terrbile stomich pains for 2 days now (but i think it may be my own fault realised i have aten in less then 2 days a entire bag of mission corn chips(the big bag) so that could be the cause of that) sorry if this post was a lil gross just did not know who to ask

also unrelated or i guess possible related. i brang back the dairy about 5 days ago now. and on that same day my left femur(not the one i had previusly fractured) is brused to the tuch. like i usualy lay on my left side when i sleep but i cant now because it hurts to put pressure on it in a very small spot. i never hit it against anything so im really confused its as if it is really brused but there is no visible bruse there. can a health condition cause this? or do i just have a brused bone for some reason?

also is it possible to be intolerent to beef? or atleast to cheap beef? my roommate likes to bring me home cooked burger pattys from burgerking so i can have some free food everyonce and a while but even just eating half of a patty gives me the worse bloating and gas and its horrific smelling. i used to be able to eat that type of food all the time without this happing? is it the greese in the beef (since well bk is very very greesy beef) or have i become intolerant to it?

Lister:

You need to do a food diary. Document everything that you eat. It will help you find the things that bother you. I know it may be a pain in the butt, but so helpful in many ways.

How are you doing with everything else? Only asking, cause I care. :)

Yeah for you!!!! You have alot of people pulling for you here!. If you do have a sinus infection, you may need some antibiotics. Maybe some Vit-C many help you feel better, but maybe that's an old wives tale.

Until you tummy feels better stick to the basics.... Peanut butter and bananas or apples are really good.

The BRAT diet can help settle your stomach..Bananas, Rice, Apple Sauce and Tea.

After gluten free, as you know, many of us are more sensitive to things that have never bothered us before. Maybe the Arby's burger messed up you belly

Aside from you not feeling well in your head, I am so proud of you for getting things in order. AND STICKING WITH IT. Get yourself well, work hard and follow through with the GED program.

If good gluten free food is a concern.....well, we can be the welcome wagon................

If you commit to getting your GED and stay clean, my bet is that we can supply you with gluten free food while you are doing this. Up for a challenge???? ;)

wasnt arbys burger was burgerkings beef.. i can eat the roastbeef from arbys without ever having a problem i think its the greese content/prossesed beef from burgerking it just kicks my stomich hardcore. been clean now for over 30 days i lost count. im around the stuff everyday still but i always just say no. not going to shun my friends for there own actions that would make me a hipocrite but i am perosonly done with it. i start my ged program on the 25th. well as long as my stomich settles out again and i remain on the dairy i will probably challange the wheat in a bit (nother month down the line or something) since as i have said i have been told over and over by my gastro and my doc that i dont have a wheat intolerancy and it was just a shot in the dark last year when they were just scrambaling to find some answers and there is no reason for me to continue gluten free. i just personly dont want to challange it yet. though as he pointed out my stomich really has not changed over the year so what could it hurt. atleast i got yogurt back so far and man did i miss it so fricking tasty. have not gone up to milk or cheese yet i figure i will stick with the yogurt for like 2 more weeks and then maybe risk a glass of milk or a slice of cheese though milk like a glass has always gave me heartburn so i probably should not go that far. but its definatly nice to have those yogurt umm gut thingys in me again its definatly helpign with digestion issues

Glad to hear you're working and doing so well! And that yoghurt is doing you good!

I've heard that beef is often hard to digest, like people who haven't eaten it for a while are advised to build up and only eat a little bit at first. And maybe the Arbys beef is a better quality?

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
    • trents
      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.
