Ugh...so Much Pain! Now I'm A Believer

I've only been on the diet a few weeks and doubted that it was making me feel better.....

Well, this Sunday at a picnic I decided to test myself and see what would happen.

I ate brownies and a hotdog bun and cheese doodles. :P

I am STILL hurting. Two days lost so far. I'm a believer now.

Thanks for all those who responsed to my last thread. I still think I'm allergic to dairy too but this pain I'm feeling is ridiculous!! I don't remember feeling so bad when I ate gluten all the time....

I don't get it

Once you remove gluten from your system, your body becomes much more sensitive to it when it's reintroduced and the reactions are worse.

Is that really true!!! So that means I'm in a world of hurt for any cheating, huh?

This is really going to be challenging. I cheated at lunch today. It was a new restaurant and my office went for lunch and we all got burgers. They have a burger with a soft pretzel roll and I thought I just had to try it. Well, it wasn't worth it. and I already feel awful.

I was a bit in denial and even after I said I was a believer....... It's just really hard, like everyone here knows.

I'll do it, though. I quit smoking almost 1 year ago and I know I can quit gluten, too.

I feel like I'm addicted to breads... ESPECIALLY soft pretzels. They are my absolute favorite. KNow I think that they are more of an addiction than anything. I think I'm addicted like I was to nicotine and I just have to quit, quit QUIT!!

No more brownies either!!!! :(

Yes, the addiction to gluten-filled goodies is tough to crack. It gets easier, but I'm sure as an ex-smoker you know, cheat once and it's back to a pack-a-day!

But you CAN do it! And you'll feel so much better when it's all out of your system and you're healed!

Not to mention the fact that brownies and pretzels are very easy to make gluten-free! Try the baking and recipes forum, there was a soft pretzel recipe there recently. And if you don't feel like making them, you can get gluten-free brownies in the freezer section at most health food stores. I like Foods By George........

More pain as you get clean seems to be my response. I'm guessing that as you begin to not overstress the gut with poison it looses some of the excess mucus lining and thus it's protection. Then when you get hit again you digest a lot of it and whamo!

Also, two weeks, or two months (to mental clarity) not two days is more likely what you are looking at.

EnerG also makes those little pretzels. They are pretty good, too.

Yuppers I recall my first glutening very clearly, mine was accidental due to my inexpirience with the details of the diet, but on what a wonderful week I had in the bathroom. My hubby says I am becomming "anal" about my kitchen being 100% gluten free, he keeps noticing his "crappy cupboard" keeps getting emptier and emptier :lol:

We went to sturgis the other day, he stopped to fuel up and brought out a bag of frito's for us to share (hes getting good at remembering my junk food, but the list is still so small, lol) he also had some nasty gluteny jerky I wouldn't open it for him as I was eating my chips, then after he finally got it opened then tried sticking his hand in MY bag, oh so did NOT happen!

Bob's Red Mill makes a gluten free brownie mix that is delicious! Tastes just like the real thing!

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      No I haven't had one since 2021. I rarely have more than 1 per week.

      Sorry, I see that now as I reread your original post. You say you have hemorrhoids "only once a week" now. When I develop hemorrhoids, which is once every few years now, it generally takes 3-4 days for healing to take place. So, it doesn't seem like you could have much relief time between episodes if you have them weekly. Have you had a lower GI scoping done...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
