Disapointed With My Body....

puggirl Apprentice

Hi everyone, its been awhile since I've posted... I just feel like i need to vent, my body has always dissapointed me ever since I was a kid. I'd always be sick, always have a stomach ache, rarely have a "good" night to relaxe and enjoy life with out being naucious or gassy, or pooping... And im sure everyone one around me is tired of hearing that I have ANOTHER stomach ache... I just can seem to eat anything that doesnt make me sick. Tonight I ate Chicken and Baked potato with a little bit of salad and g.f. ranch. That would be just fine, and then what happens?... 10 min after I eat I get this weird taste in my mouth and my stomach starts to feel funny. So I get a piece of gum cuz that helps me relaxe and its helping a little bit, and then I got really Hot and when I get hot that means something... So Im outside cooling off with fresh air its helping some... I need to go to the bathroom, I'm sure that will help too. Im so tired of dealing with this, Im getting a colonoscopy in April, So we'll see what the Doc finds if anything, He seems to think I might have Leaky gut syn too or something. When ever I get like this I tell myself Im fine, I've dealt with it before I can do it again, its nothing new, its all my head... I try to trick myself. I dont know, Im sick of being sick at work too... I'd rather just not eat anything and wilt away... I just dont know what to do anymore, nothing I do will work or change anything. The other night i accidently ate a tiny tiny bit of duncan Hines Frosting, and I didnt know it wasnt g.f. but after I looked online it says theres gluten in it. SO I dont know if this is a reaction from that or what. Anyway Sorry its so long just had to get it off my mine... Thanks for reading!

I felt sad when I read your post. I can totally relate to what you are saying. I often get really frustrated about all of my health issues as well.I never would have imagined my life this way at 37 years old. My life and health have never been the same since my diagnosis of Celiac Disease. It seems so unfair at times that some of our favorite foods make us so sick. Food seems like the enemy sometimes. It has been a very challenging lifestyle for me to lead. However, we have to look at the bright side. We have to keep experimenting with foods that work for us. I learn about new foods that I can eat on here all the time. People have great ideas and recipes in the food section. It really does get easier. This site is a Great place for ideas and support. Don't feel bad about talking about your problems. We are all right there with you. Hope your test goes well.

Sorry to hear your feeling so low. Everyone here can relate. I don't know if anyone here experiences this but when i get overly hungry my stomach bloats up like i've been glutened and when i finally eat (gluten-free) my stomach reacts even worse. It always happens just before supper too. To be honest, i don't starve myself. Even tho i feel better when i hardly eat during the day. Anyway, we had plans to go out for a couple of drinks last night, my stomach is hungry so it's huge, we eat and it gets worse. I sat around for about 1/2 hour, thats how long it usually takes my reactions to leave or basically thats when i can fart. I had to dress for my stomach, so i wore a sweater that would cover my stomach and when we left the house i left with my jeans undone. I'm sick of dressing for my stomach!

I think I need to move to Mexico. We were there on vacation and my stomach felt great. It's hasn't felt that good for 10 years! I ate anything i wanted, except the obvious stuff. As soon as i was back home my gluten stomach was back.

Do some investigating, maybe you have other food allergies. Keep a positive outlook because it will get better.

Thanks for your replies! I with both of you on how you feel sometimes, So far today I feel better. I havent eatten dinner yet so maybe later Ill post again. We'll see...

I'm 27 so hopefully something will change eventually and I wont have to live day by day wondering if im going to get sick, or if I need to go to the bathroom.

The thing is, is that I dont eat alot of crap food, we make our own dinner everynight and my boyfriends really careful with everything, I've just came to the conclusion that I dont think it really matters what i eat, either way Ill have a stomach ache. We'll find out in a few weeks when I get the colonoscopy, in a way i hope he finds something, other side hopes he doesnt. Anyway thanks again!

What kind of chicken? I have just discovered that frozen chicken (Koger's) makes me sick. I had emailed them about the indregredients before eating, and they told me it was ok, but I think differently now. They freeze it in a broth solution, so it won't stick together when frozen. I think the solution may be the culprit for me, am going to call or email them again!

I am just like wild fisher. If I let myself get famished I get sick. I get so bloated and then when I eat I get stomach cramps and D. Then I am sick for about 24 hours. It could also be that the chicken you had was injected with broth. Some companies do this to plump up the meat.

I didnt even think about the chicken being a problem.... Its the safeway brand frozen chicken breast. I'll have to research that. I also sometimes starve myself till I get sick, but only to not get sick, it never works!

I posted a topic about chicken the other day. I still haven't found any conclusive evidence, but I got people talking about it. :) I want to know too!

I've just been searching the board here for chicken, because I discovered the "frozen chicken tenderloins" I've been eating have the broth coating you're talking about...and I've had a bad health week. They're Ralph's brand (same as Krogers), and the ingredients said, "broth and sodium phosphate". What exactly did they tell you? Did it sound like you were talking to someone that knew what they were talking about? All I could find was that they'll always disclose "wheat" on their website. ...but we know that's not enough info! =/

Hi Puggirl,

Sorry you're feeling unwell. I would suggest taking another look at the chicken you are eating. My family uses frozen chicken tenders (because it's cheaper) but I don't eat the same chicken. Every frozen chicken product I have looked at is "enhanced with a broth solution" and I have been suspicious. Upon checking the ingredient list they simply state "chicken broth" with no way to determine if it contains gluten. I usually buy chicken tenders, unfrozen, with no additives for myself. Although meats are generally a single ingeredient type of food I am always wary of poultry. Even turkeys are injected with broth to make them more juicy. I am a huge turkey fan and usually stock up on cheap frozen turkeys at thanksgiving. I have been lucky to find turkeys with "gluten free" on the label. I wouldn't buy a turkey unless it was labelled gluten free. When I was first diagnosed my nutritionist warned me of the poultry injection problem so I have always been careful with my chicken and turkey.

Hopefully this will help. Good luck! M

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!
    • Scott Adams
      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
