Trouble With All Grains

Hi there

it seems since my diagnosis I am having trouble with all grains, rice, buckwheat, amaranth etc.

Has anyone else had these problems at first and will it gradually go away?

I have never had issues with grains except for those containing insoluble fiber.

But I would not be too concerned, it doesn't seem that unlikely and many people do have issues with most grains when initially going gluten free. Just avoid them for a while and slowly reintroduce them back into your diet. I'd recommending starting with white rice. You really do not need them to be healthy anyway, it just takes more work since all your carbs have to come from fruits and vegetables.

The problem should eventually resolve itself, just be patient, give it time, and listen to your body. There is not set time, only you can know.

You are welcome. Someone (Momma Goose!) was nice enough to me to answer nearly all my questions. She was/is an expert on everything Celiac. So, I feel I owe something to the community since they have been so great to me. If you have any further questions feel free to PM me.

I have a problem with all grains too. I only eat rice..

rice pasta, rice bread...you get the idea...

When, I started eating gluten free..every grain irritated me immensely.

Have you tried Millet??? I can't eat it, but lots of other people hear eat it.

Maybe, it will go away in time for you...

I believe your issues with other grains are probably due to the insoluble fiber content - it is very rough on the digestive tract, scraping it clean. Do you have issues with cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and lettuce as well?

I have problems with all grains but since I started the SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet) I no longer miss them. I do my baking with almond flour.

I have seen studies that suggest some do not heal on only a gluten free diet but perhaps this is just a stage and you will be able to reintroduce them later on. :)

I am having some problems with broccoli and lettuce, what can I do to help that?

Unfortunately not much. The only thing you can really do is minimize your intake of them as much as possible and give yourself time to heal until you can tolerate them again.

I, personally have just replaced broccoli and lettuce with carrots and peas. Arguably just as healthy and they contain no insoluble fiber. Potatoes and sweet potatoes without the skin are also very easy on the system and very nutritious as well.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
