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.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos. I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, ...

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to...

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response. Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless). I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his...

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed?...

However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
