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.

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Looking for a gluten-free roomie in Denver CO

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
