High Fiber Lots Of Water, Sweating, And Celiac

Lately I've been doing sweaty work, eating fresh watermelon, drinking fruit smoothies, and consuming hot soup. I feel great, despite my recent gluten in take (about 2 weeks ago). My acid reflux has stopped, I'm farting more, belching less, stomach is calm, and just feeling good in general.

I've been thinking back about last summer and spring when I was eating gluten. Last spring I was sick from mid February-July. In July something happened. I got hot and started to sweat. I swear even though I was eating gluten my symptoms were reduced because of the sweating.

Later that summer I went into saunas, ate watermelon, and drank lots of water. Do you see the pattern here? I'm thinking if you suspect someone to be a Celiac, but that person is not willing to go gluten free, instead that person may benefit greatly from a high fiber, lots of water, sweating, and soup diet. If the Celiac in question feels better perhaps that person has Celiac.

From what I understand gluten is a toxin to Celiacs. So if you accidentally consume gluten or suspect that you consumed gluten you should flush your system with water and sweating. Thoughts? Anyone else tried a lifestyle and diet like I mentioned? What might be a possible explanation of my method working?

The problem is any stress on the body can increase the risk/severity of celiac. My symptoms actually increased (significantly) when I started a running program (before I went gluten-free).

As to why water helps--the water helps flush out the gluten and keeping hydrated would lessen the severity of some symptoms (like diarrhea).

Good point, I didn't make it clear that I gradually introduced the purging elements. The heat and sweating was natural, then I started drinking more water in response. A few weeks went by and then I started going to the gym, working progressively harder. In fact I didn't so much as work out as sweat a lot.

Next, I started eating the watermelon and other healthy foods. Another way to look at myself feeling better is what came first? I had to feel better before I started exercising. So the sweating came first followed by water. I think the sweating and water helped me the most.

Now that I think of it running did increase my symptoms too, in Feb. So sweat more, exercise lightly . :) Btw running in any way shape or form is not mild exercise. :) I should know I was a runner until I developed what I think is Celiac. I noticed running wasn't making me feel good any more so I stopped. Seriously just walk slowly with a friend and a drink of water when its hot enough to sweat.

I noticed that I seemed to develop celiac Feb 2009. I was under a lot of stress. "The problem is any stress on the body can increase the risk/severity of celiac." Is the above quote really true because in Feb 2009 I was under a lot of stress. Maybe I developed Celiac because of the stress.

If you think you've accidently consumed gluten, flush your system with probiotics.

In my fruit smoothies I've been including yogurt, Brand Fage or something. My system seems to be able to tolerate some dairy or otherwise the yogurt would make me worse. I've heard that Celiac can make you lactose intolerant. So how much yogurt you think a Celiac could handle?

The bacteria that are responsible for converting milk into yogurt feed off of lactose. This means that the lactose content of yogurt is naturally lower than the milk itself which would mean it's much easier on digestion than regular dairy products would be.

Your question overall is too broad, there is no specific amount of exact lactose digestion damage that is caused by a gluten intolerance, the severity (or actual occurrence) differs for each person. Additionally as the healing process progresses many celiacs notice a change in the severity of their lactose intolerance for the better. Technically everyone on the planet is lactose intolerant. The body can only produce so much lactase enzyme and even someone with an iron gut can gulp enough milk down their throat to overwhelm their gut's supply of lactase.

Alright I understand. I guess what I'm really asking is how much yogurt should I be eating a day?

You don't really need to stress the exact amount and schedule so much, the bacteria obtained from these sources can set up shop in your intestine and live for a while in your guts working their magic. Fermentation is the oldest known method of food preservation and so we as humans have been "supplementing" with these lactic acid bacteria for a very long time, traditionally mainly in the winter months when a fresh harvest wasn't available. You don't need to consume it every day but it's probably a good idea to consume a fermented food at least a couple of times a week since they confer numerous additional benefits besides the bacteria. Additional fermented goodies include: kefir, (real) sauerkraut or kim chi (make sure that one says it's gluten free).

Well I've been consuming yogurt in my smoothies everyday for at least a week now. I've heard of sauerkraut but not kefir nor kim chi.

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      Bread choice for a newbie

      By Kris2093u4 · Posted

      Geography makes a difference.  I'm in the West and Trader Joe's gluten-free bread tastes great and is a better price than most gluten-free breads sold elsewhere in my area.

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?

      My mo,ther married a bread making when I was 4

      By the time I was 5 I had my first auto0immune disorder, Migraine headaches, with auras to blind me, and vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound. I was 5 years old, and my stepfather would have pizza night, milling his own flour, making thick cheesy gluten pizza, that I would eat and the next day, I would have serious migraines, and my mother & stepfather did nothing about my medical problems. When I was 17 in my first year at college, I was diagnosed with my 2nd known auto-immune disorder, Meniere's disease. I was a elite athlete, a swimmer, and soccer player. And once again my parents didn't think anything of understanding why I had a disorder only older people get. Now after my mother passed from Alzheimer's disease she also suffered with living with gluten. She had a rash for 30 years that nobody could diagnose. She was itchy for 45 years total. My brother had a encapsulated virus explodes in his spleen and when this happened his entire intestines were covered with adhesions, scar tissue and he almost lost his life. He has 5 daughters, and when I finally was diagnosed after being pregnant and my body went into a cytokine storm, I lost my chance to have children, I ended up having Hashimoto's disease, Degenerative Disc disease, and my body started to shut down during my first trimester. I am 6ft tall and got down to 119lbs. My husband and I went to a special immunologist in Terrace, California. They took 17 vials of blood as we flew there for a day and returned home that evening. In 3 weeks, we had the answer, I have Celiac disease. Once this was known, only my father and husband made efforts to change their way of feeding me. At the family cabin, my stepfather & mother were more worried that I would ruin Thanksgiving Dinner. It wasn't until one of my cousins was diagnosed with Celiac disease. They finally looked into getting Gluten Free flour and taking measures to limit "gluten" in meals. He did nothing but ask for me to pay for my own food and wi-fi when I came to the cabin to stay after our house burned down. When he informed my mother, they proceeding to get into a physical fight and she ended up with a black eye. The is just more trauma for me. Sam had no interest in telling the truth about what he wanted. He lied to my mother that he had asked my husband if I could pay for "food" when he asked Geoffrey if I had money to pay for my wi-fi. My mother hates when he spends so much time on the computer so he lied and said I could pay for my own food. I will remind you I weighed 119lbs at this time. (At 6ft) that is a very sick looking person. Neither parent was worried about my weight, they just fought about how cheap my stepfather was. As my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2014. He had her sign over the will to a trust and added his children. He had no testimonial capacity at the time, so she signed without proper papers. Making this Trust null and void. When I gave my brother my childhood home, my mother stated I would be getting an equal part of inheritance to the house on Race. It currently worth 2.0 million $. I got nothing, and my stepfather has since disowned me b/c of my claim and he knows that my mother would never have left it uneven between my biological brother and myself. She sat me and my husband down, as we lived at the Race Street house and treated and took care of it as our own. My brother took over b/c he was going through a horrific divorce and needed a home so he could get a better custody deal with his soon to be ex-wife who was a Assist DA for Denver. She used the girls against him, and he & I were the primary caregivers. We, Judd and I spent the most time with them pre the divorce. Once Judd moved into the house, he threw all of my mother, grandmother and my family heirlooms out to the Goodwill. Nobody told my mother about this as she was going through cancer treatment and had Alzheimer's disease in her mother and her sister. My stepfather and biological brother took advantage of this matter, as I called a "family council" that my brother just never could make it to at the last moment. All of the furnishing, kitchen ware, everything was in the house my brother just moved into. He had had 2 weddings, I chose to elope b/c my stepfather ruined my brother's first wedding by talking about his relationship with my brother in front of my dad and his entire family, insulting him and having my grandfather leave the ceremony. It was a disaster. My stepfather just plays dumb and blames my father for the slight. I was the only child not to have a wedding. So, my mother and stepfather never had to pay for a thing. My mother had had an agreement with my father he'd pay for college and all medical issues with their kids, myself and Judd. So truly my mother never had to pay for anything big for me in her entire life. I am looking for anyone that has had a similar story, where they grew up in a household that had a baker that regularly milled flour and ate gluten. What happened to you? DId you suffer from different auto-immune diseases b/c of living with a baker using "gluten" Please let me know. I have been looking into legal ways to get my stepfather to give me what my mother had promised, and he erased. Thank you for listening to my story. Jane Donnelly

      Blood results

      By trents · Posted

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.
