Everything Seems To Irritate My Gut Now

I've read about this happening to many on this board and now it's happening to me. My gut is irritated when I eat. Period. I've simplified my diet, cut out soy, dairy, tomatoes and eating simple foods, but I still have gastro issues and now it seems like anytime I eat I've got some symptom or other.

I've only been truly gluten free for 2 weeks because my first 2 weeks I ate gluten accidentally in things like Wendy's chicken and I had it in my beauty products. But now I've changed all my beauty products and checked everything I'm eating. I'm not eating out and I checked all my supplements and medications.

I am having periods where I feel good. Yesterday I felt pretty great all day and full of energy so I got a lot done. Today I feel good too but I'm staying in bed and resting anyway.

Last night after dinner, I got explosive D, weak, shaking, a dizzy spell, nausea and then it went away a couple of hours later. I did eat some potatoes, a nightshade, but I had eaten some the day before and it was fine. There was no gluten in my meal. It was roast beef, salad with a safe dressing that I've been eating with no problem and potatoes. I made gravy with rice flour. I did use Swanson's beef broth but there are no gluten ingredients in there and I searched on these forums and people said the regular one is gluten free.

I STARVING ALL. THE. TIME. I can't shake my hunger and I can't stop eating, but then everything irritates me so I'm eating small amounts and fresh foods, which don't always fill you up either.

I'm hoping that this is just my body healing but it's scaring me. I'm sicker now than I was when I was eating gluten in some ways. In other ways I'm better. It's weird that my allergy and sinus issues and anxiety are way better but my gut problems are worse. I am so frustrated!!!!

sandsurfgirl, I feel your pain!!!! I will agree that my allergy and sinus issues are much better too. I'm suffering my first sinus problem since going gluten-free last June... Before that it was 3 or more sinus infections per year... I just had allergy testing @ Johns Hopkins Asthma and Allergy Center... Other then a known Lactaid issue, food allergies were ruled out...

I'm still having some Gut issues that I can't figure out... The best I can figure, it's either a CC or med that contains gluten....

You could have an intestinal infection from bacteria, parasites or even fungu, which cause your symptoms, especially if your symptoms occur after eating almost anything. If you have an infection, digesting almost anything will cause symptoms. You may need to do a stool test to diagnose pathogenic or opportunistic bacteria, parasites or fungus.

Foods can be sneaky. You can have some one day and be absolutely fine with it. But eat it again the next day and your body says, Okay, that's too much. A little bit I can handle, but not that much. That's what makes this food intolerance thing so hard. You may have to say no to nightshades altogether for a while and see how you do, though believe me, I know it's a pain. :(

Do I just ask my regular doc to test for those?

I don't know if this will help, but heck, worth a try!

I just found this last week:

Open Original Shared Link

It's involving a condition that can give you gut issues with a variety of foods from grains, veggies, fruits, etc... And it can also be caused by celiac disease (they don't know tons about it, so this is more correlation than causation, at the moment)

On top of food allergies/sensitivities, one of my kids looks like he may have this. :-(

Much sympathy for the feeling like you're starving! I had that at first too, for a few weeks...maybe 2 months? My doc said it wasn't because of calories, but because my body was still healing and wasn't digesting all the nutrients it needed yet, so I felt starving all the time.

Truly, so sorry - that is the WORST feeling. I wanted to eat constantly too, but was having reactions to all sorts of foods, and so was in the same boat. couldn't eat a lot.

The only good thing was that it DID go away. but it was hellish until it did. :-(

good luck!

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
