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!

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Issues before diagnosis

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
