Feeling Bad Again

I know that I have not eaten anything with gluten in it. I am not currently eating anything that is even considered gluten free... I eat a few yougurts and then by the end of the night my whole body is sore. I had to do a stool sample a while back so I am sure they would of told me if I had candida. I am just at my wits end here. I have tried to be so careful now I am wondering if this is lactose / candida problem beccause my pain on my lower right side is mostly gone but I get really sore all over after eating certain things like yogurt ( yoplait) and I had a few sodas.

I guess I will have to try to cut out sugar now and any type of milk product. Does anyone else in here have symptoms like this where you seem to hurt all over? I had ANA tests for other auto immune dieseases and doc said those were all in line. April 14th will be my 9 month anniversary gluten-free but not seeing tons of improvement.

Thinking of buying three lac for fighting candida...I heard that can make you feel really crummy and it does seem to happen after eating sugar or anything that converts to it.

I would begin a food diary. Keep track of everything and it might render some culprits. Dairy can also mimic the gluten experience. Try to give it up for a while and see if you improve.

well lactose issues are common with celiac disease, even after the gluten is stopped it takes a while for lactose/milk issues to resolve but from my research it seems that they usually do resolve for many people. that being said you might just also have a casein issue. maybe supplemental enzymes will help you but unless you can find some one that specializes in that stuff it might just be trial and error. i know i was told i had a sensitivity to a protein in milk and was given digestive enzymes, i have taken them for a few years now and they seem to help some over all, but i dont seem to have any issues with dairy any more. i also take a gluten digestion just to make sure i have some help if i get glutened and even when im eating 100% gluten-free it helps my digestion and i take another supplement that is licorice based IIRC which also helps.

if it was me i would try not eating it for a while and see if your symptoms clear and if they do then you can try eating it again to see if you have issues

hope you can figure it all out

I'm glad you posted this. I was "diagnosed" with Celiac Disease in February. My doctor couldn't give me a full diagnosis, because he's a jackass, and me and my pcp believe that I caught it pretty early. I had only a few symptoms, but they were severe. I had abdominal pain that would send me to the ER and extreme fatigue and irritibility. I have been gluten free ever since, but recently I have started having abdominal pain coming back. I was hoping to get away with just being gluten free. You see people on this site who are gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free and all this other stuff. I think having Celiac disease does make your body more vulnerable to sensitivity. Dairy is a common one. I have actually started weeding out dairy because of the pain coming back. If you noticed it was yogurt, then you should consider going dairy free.

I agree with everyone that a dairy free trial could be beneficial to you. I would totally eliminate it for at least a month, diligently reading labels for casein, whey, lactose etc. and seeing if that helps. A food journal also helps keep track to see if anything else may be bothering you such as soy, fructose, etc. It was well worth it for me. Hope you feel better soon!

I would have to agree with everybody and stop the dairy products. I had to about 4 months after going gluten free, funny thing is only thing I can eat is yougurt and at times it is the only thing that will calm my stomach that and peanut butter. I do not understand the why those two things work for me sometimes but they do. If anybody can tell me I would love to know.

Good luck and hang in there.

edumicated guess, i would bet its because its a lot of protein but in a pretty easy to digest form. probably just lets your GI track go "o hey, look at that, its easy, alright i can do this"

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared. I highly recommend the two shot shingles vaccine as soon as your turn 50--I did this because I started to get the same tingling sensations in the same area, and after the vaccines I've never felt that again.  As you likely know, shingles is caused by chicken pox, which was once though of as one of those harmless childhood viruses that everyone should catch in the wild--little did they know that it can stay in your nervous system for your entire life, and cause major issues as you age.

      Gluten free nuts

      By Clear2me · Posted

      Thanks for the info. I recently moved to CA from Wyoming and in that western region the Costco and Sam's /Walmart Brands have many nuts and more products that are labeled gluten free. I was told it's because those products are packaged and processed  in different  plants. Some plants can be labeled  gluten free because the plant does not also package gluten products and they know that for example the trucks, containers equipment are not used to handle wheat, barely or Rye. The Walmart butter in the western region says gluten free but not here. Most of The Kirkland and Members Mark brands in CA say they are from Vietnam. That's not the case in Wyoming and Colorado. I've spoken to customer service at the stores here in California. They were not helpful. I check labels every time I go to the store. The stores where I am are a Sh*tshow. The Magalopoly grocery chain Vons/Safeway/Albertsons, etc. are the same. Fishers and Planters brands no longer say gluten free. It could be regional. There are nuts with sugar coatings and fruit and nut mixes at the big chains that are labeled gluten free but I don't want the fruit or sugar.  It's so difficult I am considering moving again. I thought it would be easier to find safe food in a more populated area. It's actually worse.  I was undiagnosed for most of my life but not because I didn't try to figure it out. So I have had all the complications possible. I don't have any spare organs left.  No a little gluten will hurt you. The autoimmune process continues to destroy your organs though you may not feel it. If you are getting a little all the time and as much as we try we probably all are and so the damage is happening. Now the FDA has pretty much abandoned celiacs. There are no requirements for labeling for common allergens on medications. All the generic drugs made outside the US are not regulated for common allergens and the FDA is taking the last gluten free porcine Thyroid med, NP Thyroid, off the market in 2026. I was being glutened by a generic levothyroxin. The insurance wouldn't pay for the gluten free brand any longer because the FDA took them all off their approved formulary. So now I am paying $147 out of pocket for NP Thyroid but shortly I will have no safe choice. Other people with allergies should be aware that these foreign generic pharmaceutical producers are using ground shellfish shell as pill coatings and anti-desicants. The FDA knows this but  now just waits for consumers to complain or die. The take over of Wholefoods by Amazon destroyed a very reliable source of good high quality food for people with allergies and for people who wanted good reliably organic food. Bezos thought  he could make a fortune off people who were paying alot for organic and allergen free food by substituting cheap brands from Thailand. He didn't understand who the customers were who were willing to pay more for that food and why. I went from spending hundreds to nothing because Bezo removed every single trusted brand that I was buying. Now they are closing Whole foods stores across the country. In CA, Mill Valley store (closed July 2025) and the National Blvd. store in West Los Angeles (closed October 2025). The Cupertino store will close.  In recent years I have learned to be careful and trust no one. I have been deleberately glutened in a restaurant that was my favorite (a new employee). The Chef owner was not in the kitchen that night. I've had  a metal scouring pad cut up over my food.The chain offered gluten free dishes but it only takes one crazy who thinks you're a problem as a food fadist. Good thing I always look. Good thing they didn't do that to food going to a child with a busy mom.  I give big tips and apologize for having to ask in restaurants but mental illness seem to be rampant. I've learn the hard way.          I don't buy any processed food that doesn't say gluten free.  I am a life long Catholic. I worked for the Church while at college. I don't go to Church anymore because the men at the top decided Jesus is gluten. The special hosts are gluten less not gluten free. No I can't drink wine after people with gluten in their mouth and a variety of deadly germs. I have been abandoned and excluded by my Church/Family.  Having nearly died several times, safe food is paramount. If your immune system collapses as mine did, you get sepsis. It can kill you very quickly. I spent 5 days unconscious and had to have my appendix and gall bladder removed because they were necrotic. I was 25. They didn't figure out I had celiac till I was 53. No one will take the time to tell you what can happen when your immune system gets overwhelmed from its constant fighting the gluten and just stops. It is miserable that our food is processed so carelessly. Our food in many aspects is not safe. And the merging of all the grocery chains has made it far worse. Its a disaster. Krogers also recently purchased Vitacost where I was getting the products I could no longer get at Whole Foods. Kroger is eliminating those products from Vitacost just a Bezos did from WF. I am looking for reliable and certified sources for nuts. I have lived the worst consequences of the disease and being exposed unknowingly and maliciously. Once I was diagnosed I learned way more than anyone should have to about the food industry.  I don't do gray areas. And now I dont eat out except very rarely.  I have not eaten fast food for 30 years before the celiac diagnosis. Gluten aside..... It's not food and it's not safe.  No one has got our backs. Sharing safe food sources is one thing we can do to try to be safe.

      Thank you kindly for your response. I have since gotten the other type of bloods done and am awaiting results.
