Nothing I Eat Makes Me Feel Good.

It's been almost 2 months now. I haven't had a good day and the days are just getting worse.

Before I was eating all the gluten replacers like breads waffles bagels cookies, and those were apparently bad for me so I have moved to fruits, and chicken and rice. That is all I can tolerate. My body wont even work any more. I drink 3 Bolthouse Blue Goodness smoothies a day to try and get enough B vitamins.

I don't know what to eat now. My stomach is way too sensitive for this. I was surviving on my gluten before I was diagnosed, now I'm just fading away trying to eat gluten free. Most of you who have read my other posts know that my room-mates don't support me and have forced me to make a kitchen in my tiny room. All I have is a tiny fridge (with no freezer) and a toaster oven. I know it's ridiculous but it's a situation I can't get out of.

WHAT DO I EAT

Maybe it's time for you to see your Dr. again.

Just to make you feel like you are not alone, I also can't eat any of the waffles, bagels or cookies that are gluten free. I'm 3 months post diagnosis and have very limited food options. I eat alot of fruits, veggies and fresh meats.

Is there anyway you could get a place of your own? Or, maybe educate your obviously clueless and heartless roommates so that they understand your diet and needs?

Also, maybe you should keep a food journal. It helped me find other food intolerances. You may be intolerant of other foods as well which is not making you feel better. Did you stop dairy? Soy could be a problem as well.

If you are not feeling better, you should follow up with your doctor. There may be things he could suggest or help you with. Maybe see a dietician as well.

Hang in there,

It's been six months for me, it took a good 5 months to start to feel a little better. Give yourself time. It does get better.

Ok, first, overloading on fruit juice will not help anything. You're causing your insulin levels to jerk round and that's only going to make you feel crappy. Walmart carries a B-vitamin complex that I take (called B-100, not the super-B complex, that has wheat) and I've felt better since I started taking it. It's only six dollars here for 60 pills, so it's definitely way cheaper than the Bolthouse juices. The fruit/chicken/rice diet is a good place to start if you think you have other food sensitivites, but when you say your system can only tolerate certain things, what happens when you eat them? Nausea, heartburn, diarrhea, headaches?

In my house, we have a running joke about Blue Goodness... :P It's a pretty lethal gas producer for us!

When I saw a dietician last week, she said that a good multivitamin should be sufficient enough for my B vitamins (a great relief since the B supplement I had used before going gluten-free was made with wheat).

Personally, I avoid Blue Goodness because it's a fruit overload for me. I like the Berry Boost, Strawberry Banana, Vedge, and C Boost, though. :D They seem safer in regards to "air pollution"!

I do feel ya though... I'm still trying to find a way to feel alive again myself.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
