Suggestions On What To Eat

After going gluten free I still felt like crap after eating. I began going for allergy testing and eliminating the foods that caused problems and I am starting to feel much better, but I have no idea what to eat. I have problems with most meats (pork, turkey, lamb, beef, salmon, tuna), beans, yeast, eggs, dairy, corn, most vegetables (all green vegetables, peppers, lettuce, and more) and I don't do well with fruit as I fall asleep after consuming most fruits.

So, what do I eat? I seem to do well with chicken, rice and soy products but that isn't much of a selection. I've tried other grains such as quinoa but would rather eat other things but have no idea as to what. I'm thinking I may have to supplement my diet with protein shakes since I've lost a lot of weight since going gluten free.

I really hate this!

A lot of celiac folks have had a much smoother healing time by sticking to basic food items: meat, chicken, fish, potatoes, vegetables and fruits. And avoiding gluten-free "substitute" products like flours, breads, pastas, etc. And a lot of celiacs eliminate dairy at first as well, since our damaged intestines can have a problem digesting dairy (until healed).

You may give that a try and see if it helps on your path to recovery.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
