For eternity chicken has been my primary source of protein, but for the past few months i just cant digest it..especially white meat..after i eat it i get bad indigestion ans some regurge. This doesnt happen when i eat beef, fish or pork or turkey. do i now have to cut out chicken permanently? i need protein and cant eat fish and beef every day..chicken is the easiest to prepare

How about trying to buy chicken with skin on. Wash it, remove the skin, and wash it again. I found I tolerated chicken better when I wash it. I stopped eating it anyway. I go with wild salmon these days. I don't know what goes on in those processing places. Too many workers eating sandwiches. lol.

I do much better with either organic or Kosher chicken.

Since I follow the paleo diet my response will be biased by that fact. There is the contention that chicken is a meat with a high lectin content that adversely affects gut permeability. I used to eat much chicken pre-diagnosis. Post diagnosis I could sort of stomach dark meat only and now I can't stand the taste of any poultry.. chicken or turkey. I also feel much better not eating it FWIW.

Just possibly, consider that you may have eaaten too much of it and sensitized yourself to it. Then there's also the lectin angle :o I just discovered in my reading that grain-fed beef has a high lectin content, which now explains why I have to eat grass-fed beef. And here I always thought it was the hormones and antibiotics that were the problem :rolleyes:

I realize you are not willing to look in the lectin direction yet, but I still think you should consider it.

From the list of foods that you can eat, try eating them on a rotational basis; if you eat something one day, don't eat it the next. Kinda like conditioning the body to expect different things. This is why I suggested you try and find a sub for rice on alternating days; you may reach the point where your body says "Enough of rice" if you have too much of it. I don't remember if you can eat almonds - great source of nutrition, the milk is yummy... - would make a great shake. I'm doing my best to find some solutions for you. Have you gone back and challenged some of the things that you cut out early on. Because often after we have been away from them for a while we can tolerate them again in small amounts, like me with citrus. I still wouldn't sit down and eat an orange yet, but I have tolerated lemon juice in salad dressing and OJ as an ingredient in a dish, which is progress. Dh served me some pasta the other night which had small amounts of soy and potato starch in it, and I didn't react. I wouldn't do it every day but it's nice to know that a little will no longer kill me (lol).

There must be things you haven't tried - yams? sweet potatoes? rutabagas? turnips? leeks? watercress? beets? cabbage? pumpkin seeds? lima beans? papaya? kiwi? figs? dates? venison? bison? quail? cornish game hens? ??

Anything new on that list?

There's plenty of weird stuff in the world to eat. We all get in the habit of eating the same things over and over and we forget to experiment.

I was wondering if someone could explain lectin content and it's affect on digestion.

I'm taking chicken out of my diet now because I'm feeling awful (again) after eating rotisserie chicken. It's not worth it.

Thanks.

Here are some links to information on lectins. For the BMJ one you do have to register, but it is free.

P.S. for the rotisserie chicken you do have to be super careful, not just for whether they have injected it with anything, but also because they roast it in the same roasters as gluten contaminated chickens.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
