Gluten Intolerant, Gastritis And Food Alleriges


DinaB

Recommended Posts

DinaB Apprentice

Hello all,

I am Gluten-Free, Corn-Free, Egg-Free, Soy-Free, Dairy-Free, and Nut-Free. On top of this craziness I was diagnosed with Gastritis/Erosive Esophagus in January. So that diet eliminates: onion, garclic, scallion, broccoli, beans of any kind, citrus Fruits, anything carbonated, chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, etc. It is very difficult to eat as my menu is extremely limited. I did cut out fruit totally for a few months. When I started eating it again I was diagnosed with Gastritis. Not sure if it was a coicidence or am I intolerant to fruit as well. Just wondering if anyone has similar issues.

Dina...I feel your pain.

Were you tested for (H. pylori)? There is a strong connection with this bacteria and gastritis.

Sometimes gastritis develops after major surgery, traumatic injury, burns, or severe infections. Certain diseases, such as pernicious anemia, autoimmune disorders, and chronic bile reflux, can cause gastritis as well.

Were you tested for PA? This would include testing your B12 and MMA plus antibodies to your stomach lining.

On top of the avoided foods, consider elevating the head of your bed 6 inches or so. Dont lay down within 3 hours of eating. Dont drink too much with meals.

Google PepZin GI. It is used in Japan to heal gastritis (with great success). Adding 10 mg Biotin daily can also speed recovery. SeaCure can be looked into. Spend some time reading about these.

Also consider probiotics.

For food, I am in a similar boat.

Focus your meals on simple meats with salt and olive oil for flavor. Not too much oil. All veggies that you can have. Saute, steam, bake and grill them. Rice, sweet potatoes and squashes for carbs. Eat the non-acidic fruits in moderation and not with meat meals.

Eat these fruits:

apricots - blueberries - huckleberries - strawberries - nectarines - raspberries - blackberries - gooseberries - mangos - elderberries - olives - fresh figs - sweet apples - cherries- sweet peaches - sweet plums - persimmons

Avoid the acidic ones:

oranges - pineapples - sour apples - sour plums - lemons - grapefruits - sour peaches - limes - tangerines - sour grapes - tomatoes

You are not alone. And believe you can heal. We are here to help. ")

Hi Dina and welcome to the board :)

I can relate :( In addition to Celiac, I'm intolerant to dairy, soy, tapioca, legumes, citrus, and coconut. I was also sensitive to eggs and corn, but after avoiding them for about 2 years, I can have them in moderation again. I have gastritis that was found in the lower part of my stomach. (H.pylori negative).

At my last endoscopy 3 weeks ago, they found a hiatal hernia. To say I'm sick of the whole thing is an understatement. :angry:

Shay had lots of good ideas--I can't think of much to add. I haven't tried raising the head of my bed yet, but my doctor did suggest that so it might just help.

Hang in there, I do manage to eat well even on such a restricted diet--you get used to working within it and before long it's just second nature. :D I just discovered low-acid yellow tomatoes--very sweet and juicy.

Glad you found us here--many of us are in the same boat or with similar challenges. Let us know if there's anything we can do to help :)

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.

      Because you have already had the "gold standard" test done, and because you have some experiential evidence that removing gluten from your diet causes you to feel better, it would make sense to begin the gluten-free diet as you wait for biopsy results.

      I wasn't given any blood tests. I think I should try the gluten free diet because when I cut it out a few weeks ago for just a couple of days, I know I started feeling better. The difference was actually pretty dramatic. When I learned gluten free eating may cause false negative biopsy results, I went back to gluten full force and feel like you know what × 10. Do you feel it would be okay since the gold standard for diagnosis is behind me or should I wait for biopsy results? In your opinion, of course. I know you can't offer me medical advice.
