Diagnosed with celiac disease about 4 months ago. For those of you that have been gluten free, do you have firm bowel movements everyday now? I am firm about once or twice every two weeks and then it turns bad. This is pretty much what I eat everyday.

Salad

Kraft Thousand Island

Tomaotes

Cheddar Cheese

Onions

White or Brown Rice

Oatmeal (gluten free)

eggs

bananna

Apple with p-nut butter

Black or Kidney Beans

Chicken with Lawry's

Steak with a little salt

I now have formed BM's unless i make a mistake then I don't... 4 months is still early days yet it can take a while for things to heal.. i can't eat oats even gluten-free ones, and I'm sure others will come back with what they react to as well... I've had celiac disease since early childhood but only diagnosed for the last almost 9 years now, and I'm still making mistakes usually only when i relax my vigilence.... such as not seeing which free flow agent they use in salt/spice... I use sea salt in a grinder now and the same for pepper (pepper corns in a grinder).. At my age i also have to take a magnifying glass shopping B) Good Luck and keep going...

I have been gluten free for 13 months now and feel fabulous but my bowel movements are not always "normal". My first advice is GET RID OF THE OATMEAL. I am very surprised your doctor says they are ok. Because oats and wheat are usually grown in the same fields it is almost impossible for them to be gluten free. You need to add some veggies to your diet. Try broccoli, cauliflower, etc. This will help with your problem. Good luck to you.

Ugghh...I love oatmeal. That's the only other option I have for breakfast during the week besides eggs. I will give it a try and see what happens! Thanks!

You could always try Cream of Rice...it's no oatmeal but it is a hot cereal that can be similar if you add the right toppings. It's quick and easy too!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
