Felt Better In Mexico...why?

I just got back from a 7 day trip to Mexico. I must say it was the best trip, my first actually, i've ever been on because my stomach felt the BEST it's been since i was diagnosed with Celiac 3 years ago. I ate anything I wanted, except for bread ofcourse. I didn't have the celiac stomach, no pain and I could go (B.M.) every day. Does anyone know why this is? Does it have to do with the weather, barametric pressure, no stress or the good fresh mexican food. Now that I'm back in Minnesota I'm sporting the celiac belly, feel bloated and on the verge of constipation!

Anyone else experience feeling better in other countries?

Hello, Do you do dairy when you are at home? In Mexico, almost all cheese and milk comes from Goats milk.....Some folks do a lot better with goat milk products. Just my 2 cents worth. All the best, Mike

I've noticed I feel a lot better when I'm on vacation, even when I'm not the most careful about what I'm eating. I think it might have to do with the lack of stress...for me anyway. It could also be the food they made you. Lots of corn products :)

Glad you had a nice trip though! Where in Mexico did you go?

We went to Mazatlan and stayed at Pueblo Bonita Emerald Bay....BEAUTIFUL! Check it out on the internet. The corn products we great forsure.

I didn't know that about Mexican dairy. I didn't drink any milk but i did have cheese on almost everything i ate. Thanks for your 2 cents. Every cent counts in my book :)

My GI told me it is the easiest place for a celiac patient to go on vacation because they mainly use corn flour.

I'm thinking two things: the corn and perhaps more freshly prepared and less processed food.

I have to admit that when I go away, I feel better. Not necessarily physically, but the new things around me happily distract me from the physical.

Eat more Mexican and see how you do! I love Mexican!

I'm extremely relieved to hear that. I'm going to Tequila for nine days at the end of the month and was worried about getting sick. Good for you.

best regards, lm

I was thinking the fresh, non processed had something to do with it too. Why does the US have to be so processed?

I got really sick twice in Mexico but both times were food poisoning (I know because others got sick also). My body just does not like the microbes in Mexico because I get sick every time I go. Maybe it is because I am not staying in a resort. btw, I found gluten free cookies in Mexico. They were made 100% from corn meal. They were pretty tasty.....and cheap!

There is definitely something to be said about the lack of stress.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
