Tired Of This....

It's bad enough that you have to scrutinize every ingredient in the things you eat but when you buy things that are SUPPOSED to be gluten free and you get glutened by them, it just makes me very irate.

I have only been eating glutino gluten free bagels, and hormels natural choice turkey lunch meat which clearly states no gluten and ditto for the bagels. I was fine with these then I bought some gluten free corn dogs and got sick a day later. Had abdominal pain and tons of mucus in my stool. (sorry tmi). I am so tired of this.

I watch everything that goes into my mouth. I live in a shared home so CC is a big concern. I have my own toaster and I wash off everyplate before I set something on it. I was actually starting to think I may have turned the corner starting December 11th as I actually had my first not so horrible day in over a year and 5 months and now this happenes. My stools had returned to solid but I still have alot of overall pains. When you try so hard to be careful and then you think you are buying safe product it just makes me very angry with this whole thing. I'm so tired if being sick. It seems like everything I put in my mouth makes me feel bad. Sorry for venting ..I'm just tired of it all.

Ugh - that is frustrating. I will say this though. You may want to consider eating less processed foods. I tried to do processed foods in the beginning. Oh my gosh, the misery just continued. Now I eat all whole foods and things I've made myself, and eat out very little, and I'm finally starting to feel better. Hang in there...this is very frustrating, but it's also going to be healthier for you over time...and hopefully, you'll discover things you like even better.

Hey GG, I have to say I have had the same experience and wound up in the same place Ciavyn has. I pretty much can't seem to handle any processed foods or ingredients. The more refined it is, the worse I react. A little here and a little there (some every few days) seems to be OK, but more than that and I start having various reactions. A perfect example of this for me is corn. Fresh (or frozen) corn is fine in any amount day after day. Ground corn (corn meal, corn chips) I can have some every two or three days in moderations, but daily and I start reacting. Corn starch and corn syrup are big no-nos. I have the same issue with most starchy carbs and grains. I can have some in small amounts spaced out over a couple days but any more and I react. If I have bread (home-made by me, so I KNOW there is no CC) more that three times in a week I start having issues.

We pretty much live on fresh veggies, fruits, natural sweeteners (raw honey, raw agave, and pure maple syrup) and protein (beef, lamb, pork, chicken, fish, eggs, etc) with some refined/processed foods occasionally. For me any refined sugars are out regardless of the source.

It wasn't until we started this way of eating that my system began to really heal and started showing serious long-term improvement. I still have some ups and downs (down right now which is why I'm typing this instead of sleeping) but significantly more ups.

Me too. I got so tired of it that I also stopped eating almost all processed foods. It's the only way for us sensitives.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
