Trying Meat Again

I have been gluten free since 05/17/08. Meat made me really sick at first (the big D and pain), so I stuck to turkey, fish and chicken. I am craving beef, but I am afraid to try it. Even a little piece might make me sick. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how long did you wait to try it again? How long did it take before your body could tolerate it, if ever?

I didnt eat beef for 7 years. Like you meat killed my stomach and gave me D. Then a Chinese doctor told me I needed to eat red meat after looking at my tongue. I went straight away to the store and bought a steak, ate it that night and felt GREAT! I've been eating it ever since. :)

I have gastroparesis and not celiac, but I too could not eat beef. Unless it was ground beef. That didn't cause a problem so long as I chewed it well.

I tried eating Horme Roast Beef Au Jus and I would throw it up every time. But I let some time go by. I haven't thrown up in a very long time. Tried it again. Just a few bites, finely minced. And it stayed down.

I find meat difficult too, especially beef and pork. I am ok with turkey, chicken and fish, but the heavier meats just sit in my stomach going nowhere.

Many of us suffer with low stomach acid. I have started taking Betaine HCI with pepsin with each meal and it is helping.

When my digestion first collapsed and I went gluten-free, I could hardly cope with many foods at all, and meat was definitely a no-no, but now, having been on the SCD for the last 6 months, my digestion is definitely better. I am still working on it, but I can now eat a lot more foods than I could back then.

Food combining can help if you have difficulty, too. Not eating carbs and protein at the same meal prevents the problem of carbs sitting fermenting whilst they wait their turn at digestion. Apparently protein is pre-digested in the stomach and carbs in the duodenum. As the protein needs acid for digestion and the carbs alkaline, the carbs have to wait until the protein has finished breakdown until they are emptied into the duodenum and can be processed. So eating carbs at one meal and protein at another makes it easier on the digestion.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
