Too Much Fat?

I try to get plenty of healthy fats in my diet via nuts, nut butters, etc... Does anyone else find that too much fat is bothersome? If so, what are some of your symptoms?

Yes, If I have too much fatty foods...I have looser stools. I wouldn't say the big D like it was before I was dx'd but less formed...sorry for the grafic detail! And I know this is not from eating gluten or getting CC'd.

I have a really hard time digesting fatty foods. They are just too "heavy" for my stomach to break down.

Yes, fat is a problem for me too. I have to ration nuts, eggs, and meat. It makes my duodenum, gallbladder and pancreas work harder. If I have recently been glutened, I have to really try to avoid fat for about 2 weeks.

If you need protein, remember that low-fat egg whites have more protein than the yolk.

How many grams of fat does everyone consume? I have been finding that my tummy seems to get a little ticked off with more than 1 tablespoon full of peanut butter or other nut butter. It's like I can have the one server of nuts or nut butter, but by the second round, things start to get off a little. I know I haven't been glutened of CC'd either. What do most people tend to consume if items like fats need to be low(er), meats, fruits, and veggies can be of issue. What all do we eat so we are getting enough calories and enough food to support our lives?

in a case like that, I'd ask if it was fat, or nuts.

in either case, I'd vary your sources of fat - for me, the biggest sources are almonds, avocados, olive oil, canola oil, coconut, flax seeds, eggs, and hemp seeds.

All those things you mentioned cause me issues as well. Fish oil is a huge offender. Therefore I don't think it's just nuts.

I follow a rather low fat diet, both because I think it is healthier & the fact that more than a minimal amount of fat makes me sick. Maybe the two are connected :rolleyes:

If I have too much fat, food just sits on my stomach & doesn't digest. And my gut hurts something fierce and gets worse as the hours go by. No medicine helps. The only thing I can do is not eat anything until my stomach finally feels better. I've gone to more than one doctor over the years and their tests couldn't find anything.

So it is a matter of "doctor, it hurts when I do this " .... "well then, don't do it."

The last time this happened was from having more than a minimal amount of peanut butter.

I have no problems getting enough to eat, at least when I'm home. And I follow a vegan diet to boot. I guess I don't understand the question. I eat when I'm hungry and until I'm full; getting enough calories isn't a problem (and I exercise quite a bit). At least when I avoid things I shouldn't eat, I'm pretty healthy.

I've had problems digesting any more than a little fat since I had my gallbladder out many years ago. Anything oily takes forever to digest and doesn't make me feel well. I cut out fried and fatty foods a long time before I started having other intestinal problems, and I wonder if they would have come up sooner if I hadn't.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
