Ok first off, i went to a family remember and they suggested this person (Eastern Medicine) and she said they have helped out my Uncle a lot on what to eat and not to. Seems to work well for him, i wouln't know. So i gave it a shot, since western doctor isn't seem to help at all. Well this is what it said. It dosn't make any frickin sense to me at least.

Eggs, Anything its in also (Total no no ok can belive that after other day i got supper sick from them), Then here is when it gets wired.

Rest:

It says to avoid Fruit with cane suger and beet suger together. (4 hours min between at least NO IDEA here)

Fruit: Apples, Pears, Berries, etc (I don't know about this one) never had a issue with apples and i eat lot of them. Sometimes sore throat after bannanas, and melons.

Wine, Cider, etc

Soft Drinks: None at all? WTF wired here to i don't know

Charcoal Filters: Water filters, Ciggs. Ok this one if really wired for me. I do smoke, and also drink water out of a Pur system at home and work. (Never had issues)

Essentail Oils, Cleaning Products, scented things. (DO agree this stuff drives me nuts)

No Nutrittional Supplements, (Fruit based) Wtf here also..

No White flour, or Wheat Flower, (I think wheat flower has Fuit or The acid in there) Citric, and ascorbic.

no Fake Artificial Sweetner

Add Cell Salt Nat Mur 5 pills a day 2-3 months. ??

Can anyone translate? lol Do you guys think this is true?

While i was eating and getting sick, Maybe it was egg. Does Cinnimon Toast Crunch have eggs?

When i got sick one night all i have was Ice Cream one night

Also one night got sick from the Trader Joe's Glutten Free tacos. (Have no eggs i checked) Does have the citric acid.

Eat food early

avoid food with high fat, for oil...

I didn't feel good drinking Vodkla Even a drink or two feel it next day more then Usual. (Made a opps it was Wheat based)

Wow any comments/Suggestings

I am going to suggest that you avoid what they are telling you to avoid and make an appointment to get the results throughly explained to you. Write down your questions and bring them in with you, write down the doctors answers to be sure that you understand them and that they have understood your questions.

All that "Eastern" medicine sounds suspect to me... awfully close to wierd science.

Find a good nutritionist. Your "Western" doctor or a teaching hospital should be able to reccommend one. Then learn how to become truly gluten free. If you think you have other allergies (eggs, dairy) be tested for them.

Your gut is in a mess if you have just been diagnosed Celiac. Eat easily digested foods for at least 6 months to heal. Then add ather things back gradually.

Celiac is a reaction to gluten... not a result of what foods you eat together or the time between eating certain foods.

I'm not saying your Eastern specialist is not sincere and maybe right for some people. There are, however, a lot of charlatans that will take your money without any ability to really help you.

      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.
