Thanks for the time frame. I thinks that if it takes laonger than a couple of days for him to feel better, he's not going to stick with it. He thinks those peanuts are good for him.

Hello all,

Well I just caught up on all of the posts and this is all very interesting. So, does anyone have a post of things that can be eaten (kind of like the forbidden gluten list here on celiac.com) so I know where to start? Also, what do all of you eat in a day? I am free of gluten, soy, dairy, and tree nuts. I am also light on eggs (no egg omelettes, etc.) So what would I be able to eat? Can anyone maybe give a sample menu?

The reason I am considering this is because I have a lot of back problems (I'm 17!!) including disc bulges, 67 degree curve, SI joint problems, hip problems...etc. My pain is very unmanageable at most times and the only thing that used to work was vicodin, but apparently my body no longer likes it...got very sick last time I had it. I thought this diet may help.

Thank you and it has been very interesting to read all of your posts.

My husband's pain is pretty intense as well, and he uses Vicoprofin. It's just like vicodin, only it has ibuprofin instead of acetomitifin(sp?). Doctors don't really like to prescribe this, as it's really strong, but you could ask about it. It really seems to work for him.

I DID LIST A SAMPLE DIET ON POST 26 I THINK IT WAS

....

And here's one more...after being entirely dairy free for a long time, I started to add in goat and sheep cheese and goat yoghurt. It didn't seem to make anything worse. Do you all eat any of that stuff? If you're lactose intolerant, does going goat help? And is casein only in cow dairy, do you know?

I've heard that after a time of healing some people can once again tolerate dairy so perhaps that is true for you, as I understand it goat milk products are often tolerated better than dairy. I think this goes back to how we originally got our dairy products as in prior to the mass production of cow milk products.

I periodically try a little goat cheese and it seems to me lately that I am tolerating it slightly better than I did some months ago. No bloating, no mean cranky mood the next day which for me were the usual results of dairy products. Does anyone else feel mean and cranky after dairy?

Rinne,

I'm really glad you are back and I hope that this will be of great help to you :D

Regarding the C and whether to take the calcium....The calcium helps bind with the oxalates to get rid of them. Maybe the addition of the magnesium will put you in a better balance.

Of course, you could try the diet and see how that does by itself--without raising your calcium. I truly believe that no one diet/plan fits all and we need to tailor anything we do to fit our own individual needs.

Personally, I find that I'm getting good results by lowering my intake of high oxalate foods (not omiting them completely) and sticking religiously to taking my calcium. That's what works for me.

I'm sure that the balance is going to be somewhat different for everyone. What does make sense is the reasoning behind this.

I can't wait to hear how this works out for you :)

Patti, I hope so too. Everything I read really resonated.

I have been eating a lot of chocolate and nuts lately and blueberries and chard (thought it was so good for me :( ) and a while back I was eating lots of beans!!!! I have the cysts, kidney, fibroids in my uterus, one fibroid they removed from my breast, and growing hard knots in the palm of my hand.

I was thinking that I had read that the magnesium also binds with the oxalates, I was afraid of the calcium because of the C but after this morning I am thinking that you are right and what I need to do is add the calcium and find the balance.

Hey, me too -- my joint pain is left hip, base of left thumb, and a knuckle on my right hand. The finger joints got a lot better over the last few months, no idea why, and then started hurting again when I started on the low oxalate, more calcium thing last week.

I think my skin is getting weird too -- maybe something grainy coming out of it and definitely more pimples (and I'm 42!).

I had a dream two nights after starting on the low oxalate diet that I was pulling black goo out of my mouth. Hmmmmm, interesting? Gross!

I guess I'll go back to totally dairy free while I'm eliminating things. I'd been dairy free and then added goat cheese and goat yoghurt back in about six months ago and didn't notice any change, or that I recall. But casein is another one of those troublesome big molecules (can we get a list! oxalates, lectins, casein, etc -- maybe we can set it to music!?), so I guess I better stop all dairy. I've been eating more yoghurt and cheese since going low oxalate. It's hard not to replace one problem with another as the choices get fewer!

I eat those Enjoy Life cookies too. Anyone eat anything else sweet? I smeared honey on a rice cake after lunch today. It wasn't thrilling but it satisfied the sweet tooth moment.

A therapist friend of mine in San Francisco says she spent time with a big-time healer in the Amazon and that he makes everyone who sees him get on a diet of nothing but steamed fish, white rice, and plantains. Sound familiar?!?

I was eating lots of almonds, blueberries and chocolate, too--and for the same reason! It's interesting that many of us have the tumors, cysts, and other issues with excess tissue.

I'm glad you're going to try the calcium :)

I've also had rice cakes with jam, and cut-up fruit drizzled with pure maple syrup for something sweet. I wish I didn't have such a sweet tooth....

All I have to add is that the above quote made me laugh out loud. :)

I don't have but so much to add, but I was on a low "everything" diet last year....meat/chicken, a few veggies, a few fruits, a bit of seafood, and nothing else (no dairy, nightshades, soy, corn, rice, grains of any kind, oil, seasoning, spices....etc) I hope that changes in diet help everyone on here. My best to you all!!!

Being kind of new here, I have to ask:

What are these bars we keep hearing about that one of you has invented? Is it something that would satisfy my sweet tooth?

And...does Rachelville refer to the OMG post that is a universe unto itself that Rachel started (long may it reign!) or is it an actual place too (Rinne is chef of Rachelville)?

And speaking of geography...does it make sense to share where we live roughly in case there are regional resources we can share?

Like, for example, I live in Greenville, SC and spend a fair amount of time in Asheville, NC where I have just discovered a holistic MD who has a fair amount of GI experience (and who, as a side note, has just provided the vaccination waiver that we need so my son can go to preschool without having to get a million shots)...and her husband runs one of these non-mainstream labs that do the candida and other kinds of slightly off the beaten path GI testing. I'm about to start down the road with this doc and probably the lab too, to see what I can learn from them.

Which reminds me, is there anywhere on this site where people "review" or share info about these labs? It's a little hard to tell what's useful and what's likely a waste of money.

Sweet dreams all.

Yours in low oxalatious-ness...

catesfolly,

Rachelville is a state of mind :D Last summer, a bunch of us who regularly posted on the OMG thread began to imagine a perfect place where we all could live, eat freely and generally enjoy life.

There would be no dumb questions from others, and no foods that we were intolerant to.

We all had occupations--I was Vice President! A lot of good fun, information and friendship was shared. :)

I miss Rachelville.....

Rinne Bars is a kind of "working name" for Rinne's invention. We don't know all the facts yet, but she is hoping to bring them into the marketplace in the (hopefully) near future and become a taifun (tycoon) :D

And yes, it does make sense to share where we are--I'm in Southern New Jersey, but will soon relocate to Pennsylvania--in an area to be determined. B)

A very good night to you :)

;) YES AS THERE MAY BE SOMEONE RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD FROM YOU OR A SUPPORT GROUP YOU CAN CONNECT WTIH

Hi catesfolly, and thanks Patti for answering the rinne bar question.

Yes, I do think they would satisfy your craving but they are not low oxalate which may account for some of my current misery, I spent the summer in buckets of chocolate and other high oxalate foods creating them.

I ran the juice bar in Rachelville. :)

I love the low oxalatious-ness. :lol:

Ok--stupid report :ph34r:

I had a cup of tea with almond milk and some Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips yesterday. I don't know if it can affect me this fast, but I woke up this morning sore and achy all over. Not sick like a virus, but achy. My fingers are stiff, too but that's probably due to the Lay's Stax :ph34r::ph34r:

Everyone who knows me knows I need proof, so I went for it yesterday. My stomach is fine, it feels more like those first days after I started the calcium. Interesting.....

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
