Gluten-Free 2 Weeks And Counting

Wow, so I'm finally feeling great. It's kinda been only gluten-free for 1 week, because I did 1 week free, challenged with some gluten, and then another week free.

It's so weird what foods I'm reacting to now! It looks like dairy is actually ok! I thought it was a problem because I kept getting nauseous in the afternoons. Turned out *that* was the green pepper I was having with my "healthy" salad at lunch! I also get nausea from potatoes, so I'm avoiding the nightshade family for a few weeks.

Seems like corn is ok, had some maize porrige this morning - so much better than rice for breakfast!

And finally... soy... It seems that soy doesn't agree with me at all. In small amounts it seems ok, but just had some soy milk and about ready to throw up. Oh, and I was having a maize cereal for breakfast for a while - Pronutro - it's a blend of maize and soy. I always had a sore stomach afterwards, and wondered if it was the maize. Now I know... it's soy!

So I'm still not 100% sure if I'm gluten intolerant, for all I know I have had a leaky gut-type reaction, which has made me intolerant to certain foods, and maybe cutting out egg is really the thing that's stabilised my stomach. Will challenge with gluten in a week's time when I'm over my soy poisoning, and see how I feel!

Thanks for all the advise and support, guys - I'd never have tried doing an elimination diet like this without your encouragement!

I'm so glad to hear you are feeling better and making progress! When you challenge with gluten again be sure to try it with something that doesn't contain soy or other possible problem foods.

Glad to hear you're feeling good! I hope you sort out the diet issues without too much confusion. It can be so hard to track down things like soy!

I would wait at least two weeks after you are feeling better to do a gluten challenge. When you do it is best to do it with something like cream of wheat or triscuits or something that has just gluten. Eat the food you are challenging for at least a week before you assume you have no issues with it as reactions can be delayed.

Congrats on feeling better, Marz! I'm glad you're finding out what you can and can't eat. :)

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.
