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

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
