natural cheese was the easiest for me to digest after getting back to normal.

I still eat too much of it! Never had trouble with soy or dairy but then again i never had any trouble until 2 years ago.

i would try one at a time and see how your body reacts rather than doing it all at once.

good luck!

I removed dairy from my diet back in september (I saw some improvements but no entirely) But I can definitely relate to you. Alot of Celiacs have problems with dairy at the beginning. I just recently removed soy like a few days ago and saw improvements, I feel almost normal again. I eat fruit, veggies, meat, fish, rice, beans, and nuts.

If you've already removed dairy, soy might be it. After you remove soy and if you're still having problems you should check for any cross contamination ( I am currently struggling with that) I have been trying to avoid gluten seriously since around november, although I have tried to do this for almost a year, but I wasn't as devoted as I am now.

I hope you feel better soon. It takes time and I won't lie, it's hard.

Hey Collette,

I would definitely try one thing at a time. You never know what you're going to react to. Actually, maybe you should just eat some soybeans and see how you feel after. That way you know you're only eating soy. Just my 2 cents! Good luck,

Thanks, Sweetie! I ended up not getting anything... all the products I found have other irritants in them, casein, carageenan, etc.

Next time I'll look for soybeans! :)

Hey collette,

Good luck. We eat soybeans cooked in a pressure cooker or cooked for many hours on the stove. But I know beans are still hard for some. Also edemame are so yummy!!! I also like plain tempeh and then season it myself. Or just basic tofu. But I think Brian's idea is good with just the plain soy first.

Cheese is definately harder for me than yogurt. I bought a yogurt maker and plain yogurt out of it is so much better than store bought. And so easy to make!

best wishes!

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By trents · Posted

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By Skydawg · Posted

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      Gluten Free Cannabis Edibles

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By RMJ · Posted

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
