Not Having A Good Day

I've been gluten-free since Thursday.

I've been really carefull with everything I've eaten.

Today I am feeling pretty nauseous.

Is it just not long enough on the diet yet to expect results? Before dx I had some good days and some bad days.

Could I be replacing my normal diet with too many veggies too much too soon? Previously, I'd have a salad or veggie side dish with dinner, but that was pretty much it. Now, I'm using them as snacks on top of what I eat at dinner.

Did I accidentally eat something with gluten? I've been really carefull, but again, I only have 6 days now of experience!

Is it just my body saying, "hey, where the heck is my bread" I haven't ventured into the breads/pastas yet and I've never been a big rice eater, so I've been kind of down a food group for the last few days.

Or, did I just pick up a stomach bug of some type? I guess not everytime I get sick will it be because of gluten right?

It takes a while to feel better. It could be that you have glutened yourself by accident, either by cross contamination or by eating something you never would have guessed had gluten in it (i did this a lot at the start...) Give it time. If it has only been six days you're body is most likely still adjusting. Drink lots of water and hang in there! :)

Hi Jennifer,

Sorry you aren't feeling well and I can certainly relate. I have been gluten-free for 3 weeks now and it has been a roller-coaster. I felt fantastic for a few days and then was back to feeling lousy for the next few. Some have said it is gluten withdrawl ("where the heck is my bread?" symptoms). Of course, double-check all supplements/medications you are taking and clean out your kitchen to make sure you're not getting cross-contamination. Keep being diligent and checking labels and food ingredients, but also be patient while your body heals. It is so hard and this is a great place to get support from people who have been (or are) there and understand. Everyone heals at a different rate and in different ways so hang in there and don't give up, relief is on the way!

Good luck

If you don't like rice, how about potatoes? I especially like them sliced over a salad. Yum!

I've been gluten free for over 3 weeks and it has been tough, I read labels - I pay attention. But, I am still sick to my stomach... Some of that could be accidental glutenizing (love that word), some is due to increased fruit and veggie intake, and the rest is due to wheat-withdrawl...

I think that it's the nature of the beast!

My doc explained it as an adjustment period - I'd think I'd like to call it something else! My regular routines have been altered, my energy is lowered, etc.

But, there is a bright side! Things will get better for you (and for me), as long as we stick with the diet/lifestyle our bodies and minds will thank us by getting better, stronger, healthier!

Hang in there and read these boards for support!

Thanks everyone

I had some glutino crackers and Sprite and am starting to feel better. I think I need to find a gluten free version of saltines. Saltines and sprite always helped when I was a kid to settle an upset stomach.

I think it just might take some time to adjust.

      ttg iga high (646 mg/dl) other results are normal

      I think you may be correct. The way the results are printed makes it appear as though it’s the ttg iga but I think you’re right—the 646 is total iga. So this would be indicative of another issue (another autoimmune condition, infection, cancer, etc.) and my doctor would need to do further testing. Thank you for saying this!

      Are you sure that is the TTG IgA? Based on the units (mg/dL) and having an upper limit to the normal range, it looks like a total IgA result.

      Vegetarians and vegans with celiac disease

      I am wondering if there are any vegetarians or vegans on this forum. I’ve been vegan for 15+ years and am just finding out I likely have celiac disease (blood panel done, need biopsy). My favorite foods—outside of vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds—I will likely have to give up. Anyone else?

      Fiber Supplement

      Welcome to the forum, @Trish G! "Gluten free" does not necessarily equate to "no gluten". According to FDA standards it actually means that a food product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their...

      Fiber Supplement

      I was taking Benefiber for my IBS-C before my celiac diagnosis. It does say Gluten Free but lists Wheat Dextrin on the label. I really dont like psyllium fiber, so is there anything else I can take or is the Benefiber really ok for someone with Celiac disease? Thanks!!!

      Welcome to the forum, @Trish G! "Gluten free" does not necessarily equate to "no gluten". According to FDA standards it actually means that a food product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their level of sensitivity to minor amounts of gluten. That's the long and nuanced answer. The short answer is that it is a product derived from wheat and so you can be certain it will contain some residual amounts of gluten. No gluten removal process is 100% effective. So, to be absolutely certain, stay away from it. Have you tried chia seeds? Very high in fiber and quickly turns into a gel when added to water. Make sure you get seeds that are gluten free if you decide to try it.
