I was diagnosed 3 months ago and have been on the diet ever since. I get severly and instantly sick if i eat it by mistake. The last few days it seems to be getting worse even though im eating the same foods. Could i suddenly be developing a problem with lactose? thats the only thing that i can think of that i am having out of my normal foods. Anyone know? please help im tired of being sick....thanks christine :(

You are among good company!

Once you master the gluten free diet and gluten is removed, then you can hear some other voices of issues.

It's often recommended to you illiminate dairy along with gluten.

Try to give up dairy for a month or two. After some time, I easily reintroduced dairy and I have no problem now.

It might also be helpful to keep a food diary.

Just don't get discouraged. I've been gluten free for over a year and it's a learning process. You might still be ingesting something with gluten without realizing it - medications, cosmetics, etc. It took me 4 months on the gluten free diet to realize that low fat sour cream often has gluten. Who knew?

Another thing to remember is if you add something new in excess to replace gluten, you might develop an intolerance. After 6 months on the gluten free diet, I started getting sick again and I couldn't figure out what it was. Then it occurred to me that I had doubled dairy in my diet (I'm in my 20s and I have bone loss - that's how I was diagnosed). My doctor told me to double up on diary for the calcium, but I've discovered on my own that your body is really sensitive after so many years of gluten related damage. Try not to eat too much of one thing, but rather a little of everything (except gluten). I now can't tolerate dairy at all and I had no problems with it before so I really wish I had slowly built up to eating it more frequently. I'm trying not to make the same mistake with soy since that is now my dairy replacement.

Good luck and remember, going gluten free is like learning a new language. It takes time.

And that lactose is a good bet. You might try cutting it out for a few months and then try again. You may heal enough to tolerate it by then.

Lactose is a major offender. I had to give up dairy about 6 days into my gluten free diet. Even some oils and other foods may be a problem. Keep track and you can weed out the offenders. For me, no gluten, no dairy, no cottonseed oil. 18 months, I feel much better, not 100% yet but getting there. It takes times. Hang in there.

I even take lactaid with some of my medications that are lactose coated. It helps.

I'm lucky I can tolerate soy, soy ice cream, not bad. Try it!

Hi

I'm about on month 3 too,

Had to take dairy out of my diet after going gluten free, have tested it a couple times and got really sick so you might want to consider that....I'm not sure if it is the lactose or casein in dairy that bothers me but my GI said to give it 6 months and try re-introducing it.

I have noticed some of the replacement flours bother me I think it's the soy.

Keep a diet diary, it really helps you will start to notice which foods make you feel sick.

I've had to cut out anything greasy too that helped alot!

good luck!

Dairy can be harsh. I feel mildly uncomfortable if I ingest too much. I'm fine with small amounts though.

It certainly is possible that this could be adding to your troubles but also I imagine you may be accidentally

ingesting small amounts of gluten still. It took me a long time to start learning to be 100% free. There is gluten in so many things I had no clue about. It really is a process of going free and you can't do it overnight.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
