Progress Report And Decompression

So when we last left the saga that is SunnyDyRain's life, she was in horrible gas and bloating pain any time I ate anything. Suspecting Soy Intolerance and Candidia overgrowth.

Things with my well being has improved. This week I have been pretty much eating Gluten Free, Dairy Lite and Soy-lite. Dairy and Soy lite was if it's a small amount of dairy in a product (milk powder in gluten-free bread) or small amount of soy letchin or soybean oil. I have also avoided processed sugar, and fruit.

I am better! I have no idea what made me feel better! It really may have been a bug as my b/f had a night of GI toubles (he accused my celiac of being contagious!), It may have been the use of careegean in the silk so milk and soy ice cream I was eating alot of last week. It might have been a candidia problem with all the sugar. I just don't know! On top of it all... allergies are driving me crazy!

What I do know is that I cheated and had to put soy sauce on my soyfree stirfry today, and it didn't make me sick. What i do know is that I ate cheese on my tacos tonight and i'm good so far. I am getting so confused with my body.. so I'm just going to go to the sourse.

Monday I'm going to see my doc. I'm asking for:

Redo of Celiac panel - to see if my numbers are going down... or am i glutening my self and blaming it on other stuff.

ELISA food intolerance test - To see what is reacting.

Candidia Test - To just make sure that everything is in balance.

I don't feel 100% I feel better than I did before going gluten-free, but it's not a huge improvement. Much much better than last week though.

I welcome your thoughts and and ideas.

Congrats on improvement!!

gluten-free eating only gets easier. :)

Maybe as much improvement on top of that if Dairy-Free, Soy-Free? Only the one way to know.

I use ricemilk now. And I found a hazelnutmilk and a hempmilk, but they cost more.

The bug part seems doubtful. Were his GI troubles enough motivation for him to drastically change his diet the way your issues were? :blink:

Hehe u *did* title it "Put me out of my Misery".

He just complained about having D that night then took some Immodoum. I don't take Immodoium because I figure if they stuff is bad for me, I want it to get the heck out ASAP (ok it could wait long enough for me to get to the bathroom).

I was doing dairy(casien) free, but when combined with the soy problems I found that it was too overwhelming and limiting for me this week. I have intensions on going back casien free, then soy free once I can get an i-oda of routine and control in my life. I've been spending weekends with my parents and living the weeks in a small apartment. Food is too expensive to just throw out because of a little soy. I know it sounds like an excuse, but I'm seriously trying to not buy groceries until july 9th. I think I might have to buy some veggies for next week, but we need to keep it cheap.

I had rice milk, I really found it too sweet and watery. I will have to try others.

Sounds like a good plan!

Was it WestSoy's RiceMilk? I think no sweetener in there.

No, it was Nature's Promise it's a store brand. I will attempt it again with WestSoy's to see if there is a difference (If i can find it! )

      Your story is a powerful and heartbreaking testament to the profound damage that can be caused by undiagnosed celiac disease and the profound pain of not being believed or supported by family. It is sadly a common narrative within the celiac community to have suffered for years, even decades, while autoimmune conditions stack up, all while being dismissed. To answer your core question: yes, living in a environment with significant, constant gluten exposure, especially from airborne flour in a home where milling and baking occurred, would have created a perpetual state of autoimmune activation for you, even beyond the direct ingestion. This chronic exposure is strongly linked to the development and exacerbation of the very autoimmune disorders you describe—Migraines, Meniere's, Hashimoto's, and more. Your body was under constant attack, and the lack of care and understanding from your family compound that trauma significantly. It is not your fault. Many in the community share similar stories of a cascade of illnesses finally explained by a celiac diagnosis, often coming too late to prevent irreversible damage. While I cannot speak to the legal aspects of your inheritance situation, your experience with the medical neglect and the lasting impact of your childhood environment is deeply valid and shared by others who understand this unique type of suffering. Thank you for having the courage to share your truth. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      7yo struggling!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's incredibly tough to watch a young child grapple with the frustration and sense of deprivation that comes with a restrictive diet, and your empathy for her is the first and most important step. At seven, children are deeply focused on fairness, and her feelings are completely valid. To support her mental health, shift the narrative from "missing out" to "empowered choice." Instead of "you can't have that," use language like "we choose these safe foods so your tummy feels happy and strong." Involve her directly in her own care; let her be the "Gluten-Free Detective" at the grocery store, picking out exciting new treats, or make her the head chef in baking a special dessert that everyone gets to enjoy. When eating out, empower her by having her call the restaurant ahead to ask about safe options (with your help), making her feel in control rather than a passive victim. Acknowledge her feelings—"It's okay to feel sad that you can't have the roll, I sometimes feel that way too"—and then immediately pivot to a positive action, like unwrapping the special brownie you brought just for her. This combination of validation, involvement, and reframing turns a limitation into a shared family challenge where she feels supported, capable, and loved.

      I know that Shiloh Farms makes this product, but I don't think it is labeled gluten-free.

      Food Allergies

      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:

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's strange to see two very different results in what appears to be a single blood test--one is positive and one is negative for a celiac disease test. Are these results separated by time? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
