dperk,

I'm glad that you are doing better. Hang in there and stay focused. I know it is hard as I sometimes lose it myself. This board has been very helpful and I have learned a lot here. The people on this board are also very compassionate as we have each been through our own hell. I am nowhere near I need to be but have been able to come here with all my baggage and open up. That in itself has been a big help!

I think I will have to lay off the potatoes myself as well as the nuts. They are probably too fatty for me. I was trying to eat them for more protein. I am still very weak and feeling malnourished. today I see my new GI dr and see what he has to say.

Which book are you talking about? There's also another book aout there about eating right foryour blood type. I was introduced to that concept years ago by the author's father (Peter D'Adamo Sr) and it seems I may have to go back to it. I am going to try to get the book today at Barnes and Noble. I have his father's book somewhere and although it is about 25 years old...the concept is the same..."One Man's Food is Another Man's Poison".

Good luck with everything!

The book I found at the library is: The PH Miracle - Balance Your Diet, Reclaim Your Health. It's by Robert O. Young, Ph.D. It helped me a lot to control the acid reflux. I didn't follow the diet completely for very long, but it really did help me find the foods I could eat. I got some better because it was no bread, but he says to eat veggie burgers, which have wheat gluten. So I would get sick again when I tried them - this book does not take into consideration anyone with celiac disease. But the rest of the foods I did good on. It tells you which foods are acid, so I stayed away from them. At least I had something to eat besides baby food - so that felt pretty good. Hope this helps.

Dperk,

i am going to try to find that book if I get to Barns and Noble today.

i went the other day and picked up the book taht I was talking about....Eat right for your Blood Type and then decided to put it down. There were a lot of things that were listed as OK for my typs but I know that I reacted to. it also doesn't take into consideration the gluten problems. I will have to be my own jusdge forthe diet.

Right now....I am feeling worse but I think it could be candida. In giving up cakes and cookies I've been craving a little something sweet and having raisins, carrots, apples sauce and or course baby jarred fruits. All of which have a lot of natural sugars. Everything seems to have gotten worse and my gut feels more raw and inflamed. the only thing that I can think of is that the sugars flared up the Candida. Last night I started on half a Nystatin...and I was up early sick to my stomach nauseous and muscle pain...racing heart. I just feel so ill...........of course I got anxious and panic stricken....what is going on and how do I FIX ME?????

I think there is no simple clean cut answer........

I will just have to keep learning and keep trying.

I 'll try to read some of the book if i get over there today. I need to pull myself together first.

Thanks for your help,

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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.
