I don't know why I can barely keep my head straight! I tend to react neurologically and gi upset so I am just trying to figure out what I ate I didn't change anything I don't normally eat.

I had these chips (Lundberg rice & bean with sea salt) and I made energ toast (bare) with a slice of tomato, a pork sausage (gluten soy nitrate msg free) and a poached egg on top with kosher salt & garlic powder.

And I am totally looped out. :ph34r: hehehe

is it a full moon?? :lol::rolleyes:

Maybe some trace glutening from the sausage? Or maybe a yeast/candida overgrowth? I personally can't have rice and beans together--too much starch. It feeds the yeast.

Though yeah we all just went through a pretty tough astrological transit I hear.

I do have candida I wonder if that wasn't the culprit. I went to bed and I am feeling better now,

thanks Sweetheart! B)

Not to mention I did not take my normal supplements & herbs last night maybe that was part of the problem ...

Hey deary,

Well, it stinks to hear that you can't keep your head on straight. Are ya stressed, tired, or any of that stuff? I blame all my dizzy issues on air polution from irrisponsible big industries and cow farts. ;) Did you know that Cow flatulance is having a negative effect on the ozone layer? (saw it on the Discovery Channel) So perhaps gluten isn't your problem at all. :P

Speaking of Lundberg rice & bean with sea salt....my hubby found the sea salt bags at our local grocery store. I'm in total heaven...

On another note, I'm going to the hospital sometime this week for a sleep study to see if I have narcolepsy. I'm not really concerned; if I have it, then I've had it for many years. So, basically I'm going to the hospital to sleep in a paper gown, in a freezing room, with wires coming off my head...while they watch me sleep, and then charge my insurance $6,000. :rolleyes:

Well take care hun, sorry to hear you feel crappy.

-Julie

Glad to be of help! I struggle with the beasties too. They can sneak up on you and give you a high like being drunk. A good clue is a ravenous appetite for guess what--starch and/or lots of fruit or sugar! Its addictive since they actually release alcohol in your blood stream. My ex used to drink bear just to catch up with me on my natural candida (or whatever) high.

Sometimes its OK to eat more of the carbs and other times it just isn't. Especially several times in a row. It helps to offset it by eating more raw veggies if you can handle it , cooked ones otherwise.

Plus consider taking some anti yeast stuff. Besides the usual probiotics, I have found oregano caps to be of help and occasionally taking barberry or golden seal root powder (barberry is more effective and cheaper). These last not more than a week at a time though and be careful since it/they can cause stomach irritation if you take too much. Dandelion root or milk thistle helps along the way just to even things out. You can also rub liquid oregano or thyme oil on your wrists etc. to help kill the beasties off. And pao de arco caps are a good staple to take every day.

Thanks yolo you are always a life-saver!!! B)

I have been taking pau d-arco along with my other supplements for about 3 weeks now.. I am eating 3 a night as well as the milk thistle. I have oregano oil I tried to eat (came with a dropper) and it made me choke HAHAHA very powerful. But I will try and rub it on my wrists! cool!!! :)

MUAH!

thanks so much

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone...

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.
