Digestive Issues Please Help

hi, I have been gluten free for about 7 weeks now and all of a sudden I have been digestive issues and can't stay away from the bathroom. I haven't had any gluten that I know of. I have been eating pears, fish, oranges,lettuce,natural peanut butter, peanuts, grapefruit slices...so I am real confused. It started about 4 days ago when I ate some new blueberries and new blanched almonds from a different store than usual. I continued to try quinoa, amaranth and buckwheat at this time which added to the problem but today I had no grains or seeds of any kind and still..

Is this part of the healing process? what am I doing wrong. I can't stand this.

Many on this board report that CC will give them problems for a number of days, so you may still be feeling the effects from those contaminated items (if indeed they where).

Well, from the diet you described, I'd highly recommend some changes there. Do you eat fresh veggies? Since peanuts are somewhat tougher to digest, I think I'd avoid that for now. Same with almonds and other nuts. Citrus can also be problematic, so you may need to cut down on that too.

Are those the only foods you've been eating?

I agree with all the Rice Guy has said, he always gives good advice :) so all that I have to add is to keep a food diary and become your own detective at what is bothering you. You are so new into healing and sometimes its best to keep it simple in the beginning with all fresh foods. As Rice Guy says citrus fruits can be hard to digest for some (I still can't) and it maybe too soon to add in the buckwheat (be careful some can be cc in the manufacturing process so get a reliable brand) and other grains you are not used to. Good luck and keep us posted!

I've been reading about fructose intolerance lately, maybe it's that? Might be something to google on.

When I discovered the fructose malabsorption it sounded so much like me that I was excited to test it. I ate a tablespoon of pure whipped honey and sure enough in a half hour I was in the loo :o Also, I thought sweet baby ray's was glutening me lately but the first ingredient is High Fructose Corn syrup! Honey and High fructose corn syrup are extremely high in fructose vs. glucose, so those products will tell you quickly if you have a problem. I've been keeping a food diary for 1 1/2 yrs and was able to see that I haven't felt well on high dairy days and anytime I've had too much high fructose. Food diaries help so much. Hope you find your answer!

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam. The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach. The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery. Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years. Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Very good pizzeria with small dining room in back of the restaurant. The owner's daughter has celiac & they have gluten free pizza & a gluten free menu. Some items from the regular menu can be made gluten free also. They have a lunch menu which we ordered from & my chicken with spinach & mozzarella over gluten-free penne was delicious. They also have Tuesday night pasta specials & Thursday night chicken pasta specials. We plan on going back for dinner soon.
