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.

      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.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
