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.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      No I haven't had one since 2021. I rarely have more than 1 per week.

      Sorry, I see that now as I reread your original post. You say you have hemorrhoids "only once a week" now. When I develop hemorrhoids, which is once every few years now, it generally takes 3-4 days for healing to take place. So, it doesn't seem like you could have much relief time between episodes if you have them weekly. Have you had a lower GI scoping done...

      Everyday I eat a medium to large apple in the morning and a large banana at night. I eat a cup of oatmeal in the evening. The ezekiel wheat bread I eat has a good amount of fiber. I haven't dealt with constipation for at least a year. Most of the time my feces are soft.
