I Can't Believe This!

Hey everyone,

I am so thrilled at how I've felt today. My head felt clear and I've had energy all day. Only felt a little funny after eating a mini Almond Joy. I am so hoping that this will last. Only been gluten free since Wednesday, but did so right after my colonoscopy/endoscopy. Also started taking a multivitamin and calcium/magnesium supplement and juicing with fresh veggies and fruit every day.

Is this normal? Anyone else have this reaction after going gluten-free?

Yes, I have also eliminated casein (dairy) and, oh yeah, alcohol. I notice that it takes a couple of days to get the casein and gluten out of my system, alcohol takes a week and a half. I have been juicing to: 1/2 a dozen ice cubes, banana, assorted fruits and whammo ready to go!

I had a similar experience with feeling much better after going gluten-free. I have been so for about 3 weeks and have some continuing symptoms of bloating/indigestion/reaction to fats - something that makes the gut feel very full and painful. Big appetite and pleasuer from eating again vs. always feling bad about eating...I am waiting for my blood tests to see about anti-body confirmation. I understand that the degree of damage to the gut can affect the recovery rate and that some people experience continuing symptoms....? I have insomnia issues and do not feel 100%, although the difference in how I feel is very rncouraging. How does one find out what one needs in terms of diet practices, vitamins, etc. that may aid the recovery? I have fatty liver and need to lose weight. The improvement in mood, irritability, and inflammatory symptoms in joints is very encouraging. I hope that it is not just a "placebo effect" and that it is all in my mind.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @knitty kitty Thank you so much for all that information! I will be sure to check it out and ask my doctor. I am just at a loss, I am on my 2nd round of miracle mouthwash and I brush and scrape my tongue and (sorry this is gross) it's still coated in the middle

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      Traditional brown rice vinegars are made by fermenting brown rice and water with koji (Kōji 麹). The gluten risk comes from the method of preparing the koji: rice, wheat or barley may be used. Regardless of the starting grain, "koji" typically will be listed as an ingredient, and that term alone does not indicate gluten status. I called Eden Foods re...

      heaps of hope!

      Your post nails the practical reality of living well with a celiac diagnosis. The shift from feeling restricted to discovering a new world of cooking—whether through a supportive partner making gluten-free spanakopita and gravy, or learning to cook for yourself—is exactly how many people find their footing. It turns a medical necessity into a chance to bui...

Regardless of the starting grain, "koji" typically will be listed as an ingredient, and that term alone does not indicate gluten status. I called Eden Foods regarding their product "Organic Brown Rice Vinegar" (product of Japan) to ask how their product is made. They gave me a clear answer that they >do< use rice and they >do not< use wheat or barley in preparing their koji. FWIW, the product itself does not contain any labeling about gluten, gluten risk, or gluten safety. Based on Eden's statement, I am going to trust that this product is gluten safe and use it.

      Your post nails the practical reality of living well with a celiac diagnosis. The shift from feeling restricted to discovering a new world of cooking—whether through a supportive partner making gluten-free spanakopita and gravy, or learning to cook for yourself—is exactly how many people find their footing. It turns a medical necessity into a chance to build kitchen skills, eat more whole foods, and actually enjoy the process. Your point that the basics—knife skills, food safety, and experimenting with spices—are all you really need is solid, helpful advice. It’s a good reminder that the diagnosis, while a pain, doesn’t have to stop you from eating well or having fun with food.

      Fruits & Veggies

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You are experiencing a remarkable recovery by addressing core nutrient deficiencies, yet you've uncovered a deeper, lifelong intolerance to fruits and vegetables that appears to be a distinct issue from celiac disease. Your experience points strongly toward a separate condition, likely Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) or a non-IgE food intolerance, such as salicylate or histamine intolerance. The instant burning, heart palpitations, and anxiety you describe are classic systemic reactions to food chemicals, not typical celiac reactions. It makes perfect sense that your body rejected these foods from birth; the gagging was likely a neurological reflex to a perceived toxin. Now that your gut has healed, you're feeling the inflammatory response internally instead. The path forward involves targeted elimination: try cooking fruits and vegetables (which often breaks down the problematic proteins/chemicals), focus on low-histamine and low-salicylate options (e.g., peeled pears, zucchini), and consider working with an allergist or dietitian specializing in food chemical intolerances.
