Gluten Free For One Whole Year!

Yesterday was my one year anniversary of being 100% gluten free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel pretty good, so much better than I did for years. Even when I didn't eat wheat I still had bad symptoms at times. I wish I had gone gluten free years ago.

I don't feel poisoned

I don't have weird visual effects where everything would seem further than it really was

I don't get brain fog

I am not dizzy all the time

my blood pressure went up to normal

my skin doesn't itch constantly everywhere

I don't have a rash on my hands anymore(that had started to spread)

I don't have chronic constipation

I don't have hemoroid pain

I don't feel like vomiting when I have to go to the bathroom

my facial skin doesn't break out nearly as much

my hormones have stablized- I have a bigger libido and am far less moody, PMS is greatly diminished

I am less likely to get irratated and bitter

my blood sugar is stablized- I don't go from fine to starving in a second, I progress to hungry

When I am hungry, I don't feel like I will vomit

I can't believe how many facets of my life have been touched by this

sometimes I have a bad day, or a symptom, but it is not the norm for me anymore

I still use bananas as medicine, I would have died without them long ago

When people find out that I can't eat gluten and they say how that's too bad or say,

NO, what is too bad is that I was undiagnosed and sick for so many years, since I was a child. I have no problem not eating gluten because I never want to go back to how I was before

Good luck to everyone else

Congratulations!! That is great, hoepfully this time next year I will be celebrating too. After reading all of the things it was doing to you is now making me take a closer look at what is going on with my body and the effects that gluten is having on me.

Congrats!!!!! It is such an overpowering feeling to make it one year--I remember my one year mark and I look at how much I have learned and how much better the foods have gotten since then and even in the past 6 months....:)

Congrats! I am so happy for you =) I know it was hard at first but once you start to feel better you never want to eat wheat again.

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Bitters for digestion?

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      Bitters for digestion?

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
