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!

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache...

      @Mari, did you read that second article that Scott linked? It is the most recently date one.

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

"Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."
