Feeling Better By The Day

Hi everbody, I thought I would give everyone an update.

Been by myself for almost 2 weeks now. Wow, what a difference. Cleaned my truck from top to bottom and and only eating fresh fruits, nuts, veggies, brown rice and meats. Still having a bit of a problem with gluten free products. I guess stil super sensitive.

But since I kicked the ole man out i've recovered a bunch. I did not realize that him eating gluten in the truck was going to be that bad. Plus, I think when he cooked for me he wasn't being carefull enough about cc. Anyway, I feel better now than I have in several months and this is only 2 weeks in.

Have been gluten free now for a year and 2 months. Was doing ok then started teaming with him and it started going downhill from there. But in this past year i've gone from 205 lbs down to 166. Yahoo! When he came on board I started bloating again and stopped losing. Stayed at 170 for almost 4 months. Since by myself the weight is coming off again and i've stopped bloating.

Plus not having the stress of being cooped up in a truck with someone 24/7 for 6 weeks at a time helps a lot too. Lol.

Anyway, just wanted to give everyone an update and to thank everyone for their well wishes and for being there to "listen" when I needed to vent.

Have a great evening.

Vicky

I'm so proud of you Vicky!

You are an inspiration to many!

If you can't beat 'em - kick 'em the h3ll out!

I'm so jealous that you're dropping more weight than me!

But I know this is the most relief you've experienced in a long long long time!

Stay strong sweetie! You don't need ANYONE weighing you down.....not now - not never.

Everything about your life is in YOUR hands and you WILL succeed bigger and better than ever now.

Peace and serenity to you now and always

Love - Hugs and support always!

So glad your feeling so good. Sometimes we don't realize just how toxic someone can be to us until their gone. In all respects not just gluten. Enjoy your freedom and improving health.

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the thoughts. I guess this has taught me that I can't trust anyone except myself. Also, that I need to be by myself to keep from getting cc'd. After a 21 yr abusive marriage and then this 8 yr relationship. I think i'm giving up on men for a while. Time to be by myself and enjoy life on my terms.

You sound like me. My psychiatrist friend says I have a "broken picker-outer". :lol: I'm much happier single.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
