Eating The Same Foods Everyday

Has anyone had a problem with eating the same foods everyday? I have figured out foods that I know do not bother me and I am afraid if I eat them everyday that I will develop an intolerance to that food. Has anyone had that experience?

I can easily eat the same things everyday and not really get bored because I am a creature of habit. I have to force myself to try new foods. It really seems though lately I am reacting to so many things that it isn't worth it at this point in time to keep trying. I just want to eat as stress free as possible.

Thank you for any input,

Michelle

Yes, there is a very real danger of developing intolerances to foods you eat every single day. It is better to have a four-day rotation diet.

I used to eat a banana every day, until I developed an allergy to them. I was unable to eat bananas for nearly two years. Now I can eat one once or twice a week (max) without a problem.

I do that all the time!!!! I will get on a certain kick and eat that thing for a week get sick of it and it something else for a week ect.

THe thing I would worry about is making sure you are still eating balanced...take vitamins ect if you need to.

If you think you'll develop an allergy or intolerance, you probably will. But if you enjoy what you're eating and it's not causing you problems now, then keep enjoying it and don't worry about anything.

You do not develop an intolerance or allergy simply by thinking it, that isn't possible! I am reading a good book right now called, "the Mood Cure". It talks a lot about how gluten has been an evil in our existance for a very long time now and it has nothing to do with celiac disease. It talks about "bad mood" foods and "good mood" foods and it does tell that it is not good to eat the same things all the time. It tells that variety is necessary. I have fallen into the same trap you have. I eat the same things all the time, because I have found a certain number of things that do not make me sick. The problem is, now I am not getting all of the different amino acids I need for the rest of my body, so now my adrenal glands are shutting fown and I am having other problems. I have been to a consultation with a certified health counselor, which she says she can help me get this all figured out, she too, is a celiac, but I am not sure I can afford the price. Now, I am in a "catch 22"! What have I let celiac disease do to me now? It was destroying my life before I knew I had it and now it is destroying it again. So, now I have got to start over again and rethink how to move on from here.

Try not to get where I am! Eating the same thing everyday will not make you develop new intolerances, you can't think yourself into new intolerances, but you can starve your body of what it needs, totally by accident. We do not do it on purpose. We only want to feel good, we only want to wake up and say, "Wow, I feel great!" I can't remember ever saying that! I want to say that one day! Read this book and see if you can find the answer too. The answer may be there for you too. I am so exhausted, it is taking me forever to get through the book! :(

I can't agree more with Deb.. Its so easy to fall into that trap, I did it myself too.

I am in that boat too. Along with no gluten, I am very restricted due to the Intersticial cysitis diet I must follow to keep my bladder from going crazy. Not much I can do about it right now! Glutenwrangler - I think what you said was interesting. It must be based on the theory that your mind and negative thought patterns can create illness. Don't be so quick to dismiss this. There is a lot of info out there to support that.

Actually you CAN develop allergies and intolerances by thinking about it. The mind is much more powerful than you think. Ever heard of the placebo effect? People think a medication will work, so it does even though there is no active medicine in it. And it goes both ways. If you believe that a food will negatively affect your body, it will. And if you don't believe me, ask any doctor or psychologist about psychogenic conditions.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens. I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium. I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells. When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
