Hey guys still waiting for my blood test to come back about glutten and other things i am intolerant to. I have been staying away from Glutten i have checked every label and have been very good about it. Last night i ate: Safeway Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream, and Ruffles Sour Cream and onion chips, some Lays cheddar just Barqs Rootbeer, and Trader Joe's mini chicken Tacos. (Checked this again and they are glutten free as is everything else. Open Original Shared Link Did have Salsa on them Pace but check that to. What else could it be? I know almost everything i had has corn in it but i thought it was wheat not corn. I have tried to switch to Soy but my Body hates it and stomich gets upset bad when i drink it. What are you guys thinking? I am at a loss here. Symptoms today and early morning were: Upset Stomich, Sore throat, (Thought got better latter) Felt like a lot of pressure in lower abdominal area, Multiple trip to the bathroom (number 2) and its not the right color very very light brown and just wired.

Also one day i had to go home from work (Frinkin again!) because my stomich pain was so bad i couldn't stand up anymore. It hurt so bad i had to sit down even then, and that day i was very sick with bathroom time.

Please need some input. Thanks, Brian

Brian,

I am going to assume you are new to the diet. It is best to eat very SIMPLY in the beginning. My first advice to you would be to cut out all processed foods. Your gut is mangled inside and needs to heal. The more junk you put in it, the more reactions you will have.

I have been gluten-free for 3 months plus. In the beginning, I didn't know any better, and just ate whatever I wanted, as long as it was gluten-free. Turns out there are so many things that your system just can't tolerate in the beginning, ESPECIALLY processed foods.

Before going gluten-free, I ate anything and everything. After, I had a problem with all grains, corn, dairy, nut butters and lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower. All of these things gave me terrible stomach pains, gas, bloating etc. Now, I am eating pretty clean- lean proteins, veggies and fruit, along with a good enzyme and probiotic. I've been able to add in a little dairy here and there, and small amounts of peanut butter with no ill effect. I had a gluten free hot dog two weeks ago, and am still bloated :huh: Go with natural foods, with few additives, just to get your system straightened out, and I promise you will feel better!

wow thanks what is your opinion on drinking vodka or glutten free beer? What are goo portable basic foods on the run? Work so many hours and always at work. Bannanas give me a sore throat, apples ok? I have been eAting costco trail mix and knd bars also.

Oh SNAP, well big bo bo. I switched Vodkla from Sky (I know gluten free) to svedka vodka (Cheaper and better) I just assumed (My fault) that it also was made from potatos. WRONG i just thought about it now and its made from 100% GRAIN/Wheat... No wonder i felt kinda bad or horrible the next day even if i had very little...

A couple of things; the ice cream has chocolate chips and those probably have soy lecithin in them. Most chocolate does. You said you are sensitive to soy. Also the Lays chips, they are gluten-free but some of us have a problem with them. They are made in a shared facility and some cannot tolerate Lays products. (Stax are made in a dedicated facility.) I can eat them 10 times with no problem then on the 11th time, I'll have a reaction.

Hope this is helpful to you. Soy is a tricky one to watch for, I understand. But you'll feel better if you do.

I am staying away from alcohol just to be safe. As far as portable snacks go, I like Kind Bars-minimal ingredients. Whole Foods has some raw food bars that are very tasty. Look in their raw section. I also like Jif on the go- portable peanut butter snacks. Grapes, pears, carrots, string cheese- all can be packaged in little snack bags.

Read EVERY label to make sure what you are eating is safe:)

Do you guys think I should cut out soy to? Like I said I can't drink it, then I can't imangine eating it would be any different. Just did a test right now And ate gluten free pancakes BUT they have soy flour. Now my stomich is making very wired noises. I don't want to know what happpends next. :( then I just remembered trader joes tocos have are fryed in soybean oil. The next day I got sick from those. Did have salsa on them Pace but label was fine can this have to do with anything?

It has to be something else I am allergic to either soy or corn. Time for another experament with somthing with corn and no soy. Stupid usps lost blood results test, have to wait for replacment. *sigh*

I could be totally off in left field or could of missed something but have you thought about maybe dairy is giving you a problem. About 4 months into being gluten free I was still having problems and it was due to dairy. My problems were very similar to yours. As a matter of fact my son get strep throat when he drinks milk. Just a thought.

now that you said somthing about this I do get sore throats usally with cereal in the morning, not all but many. Maybe I will try milk first over soy. I did eat ice cream last night and felt sick in the morning.

I hope you don't think I'm rude, but what you ate doesn't sound very nutritious for someone who is so sick. Celiac is a very serious disease - life threatening.

I would suggest more nutritious foods.

Celiacs do not tolerate carbs very well.

Protein is easily digested. Cabs are not. Eat fresh fruits, veggies, eggs, fresh meat and yogurt (if you can tolerate it).

Avoid processed food until you are symptom free. Then have at it, but until then keep it simple.

I hope you start feeling better and are healed.

ang1e0251 is right...Lays chips are like plaing roulette with a hand gun! Most of the time they are safe and then boom!...you got a bag that is cross contaminated from the lines they were made on. Also, chocolate chips used in ice cream is usually a gluten "no no" becuase flower is used on the lines for anti sticking purposes. It's all very confusing I know:( but as time goes on it will get easier. Everyone is right to about the type of food you eat when first diagnosed needs to be simple, basic, fresh, and light. Stay away from ALL processed foods unless it says gluten-free on the package. Good luck!

Update: tested milk theory today and had eggs and some cheese. Felt fine until a litle after it feels like I drank acid so sore. I am now also staying away from milk now also. I cannot always run to bathroom or work like a old man

You may find after you have been off soy and dairy long enough you will be able to eat them. Once the intestines heal some people add them back into their diet. I believe most people are saying stay off dairy and soy 6 months to a year. I was off dairy for 6 months before adding it back without problems. It's will worth the healing time.

A company cannot add flour to any food without declaring it on the ingredients label as WHEAT. However the OP said that he is sensitive to soy and chocolate commonly does have soy lecithen added.

      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.
