So, my mother and I have realized that we are just on the tip of the iceberg here and have a looong way to go, and a helluva lot more to learn. Apparently my mom is allergic to soy as well, which I saw is not uncommon, but we noticed another interesting symptom today. My mom tends to get nauseous after she eats meat. It took a couple times for us to notice it, but yesterday she was having a really good day and all the sudden after she ate some chicken she got sick. And the same thing happened today. She eats mostly chicken, so I am actually not sure if it is all meat, but she was glutened almost 2 weeks ago. Is she having a problem with meat because she was glutened, is this uncommon?

Another thing, for the smokers out there, does smoking bother you with having celiac? I am sure it is not good and my mom is really trying to quit, but of course is having a hard time.

Is the chicken you buy fresh and totally unprocessed with no broth added? If not try that instead of what you have been buying. The broth that is used in some chicken is not safe.

As to the cigs question. I am unfortunately a long time smoker. I stick with a brand called American Spirit that is additive free or in a pinch I will buy Winstons which are also supposed to be additive free. Some brands do have gluten ingredients and I know when I smoke one of those because my lips will peel and eventually I will get glutened symptoms.

It can take a while for a glutening to resolve. Mine last up to three weeks although I usually only have one day of painful D. The brain fog, joint and muscle pain and the horrible fatigue last for usually 3 weeks.

She may also just not be healed enough to tolerate meat yet. For some digestive enzymes like papain can be helpful.

If someone is still healing from the intestinal damage caused by gluten intolerance, fats can be hard to digest. The small intestines, which is the area damaged by gluten interaction, is where lactose fats vitamins and minerals are digested. If the villi damage is still present, which it usually is for sometime after you initially go gluten-free, then you could have an issue when you eat something higher in fat, like meat. The same could be true if you've been gluten-free for awhile and then are badly glutened. One of my symptoms after I've been glutened is nausea indigestion and acid reflux.

Well that definitely explains it!!! I just need to know though how my mom can get some nourishment. Right now she is just eating rice and organic apples and rice milk. It seems that is all she can tolerate at the moment, and despite the fact that she eats a lot of it, she is still losing weight. She was badly glutened, and it is taking her a long time to recover. I suggested making a smoothie with different fruits and some rice milk, are there certain fruits that would be better for her to eat? And from everyone's one experience, after being badly glutened and pretty recently diagnosed, is there any way she can get better nourishment? She is going to see a nutritionist, but she wants to wait until she feels better because doctors make her anxiety worse. I don't know what to do, any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

She definately needs a more varied diet. If she can tolerate adding some well cooked veggies to the rice and perhaps some other fruits that would help nutritionally. What brand of rice milk is she using? If it is Rice Dream that could be a lot of her issue. Rice Dream is NOT gluten free, it is made with barley although they now have taken that off the label. Pacific brand rice milk is gluten-free and she may want to try hemp milk as that has a good amount of protein. Buckwheat is also a good source of easily digestable protein and when glutened I find cream of buckwheat with cinnamon helps. I get the Pocono brand, the only item that company does is buckwheat and the fields are also dedicated to it so the risk of CC is low.

yes, you said cream of buckwheat on another post of mine, and I forgot to say thanks for that because my mom got some and she says it does help a load. She has been putting organic apples in the rice (gross!) but I will tell her to try other things, like we have organic zucchini. I think what her problem may be is nightshade. I have been seeing that a lot on this site and she seems to get sick after she tries to eat potatoes. I just have to convince her to eat some other things because she is like wasting away.

We do drink Rice Dream but on the Classic Original box it says gluten free on the front..I know some of the other kinds, like vanilla don't but the one I buy does say gluten free. They might have changed it I guess or I may be confusing the brand.

This may sound like an odd suggestion but it helped me quite a bit early on when I would get frustrated with my diet. In addition to avoiding gluten I avoid most things in the daisy family as I invariably am allergic to them. I also limit my nightshade exposure to potaots or tomatos once or twice a week. Absolutely cannot touch eggplant ever again :( And I have other allergies.

Anyway, I sat down and made a list of everything I could not eat in all it's variations. I didn't just list wheat I listed everything I used to eat with wheat in it. Same with everything else.

Then I made a list of everything I COULD eat whether I liked to eat it or could afford it or could get it. The could list was huge compared to the could not list. It also made me realize I had many many options and I became more adventurous in my grocery shopping after that.

      Ibuprofen

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
