Is There Anything I Can Eat?

I went gluten free, dairy free, soy free back in February due to Celiac. I got better but now I am back to being bloated constantly and constipated. I am also exhausted all the time and sleeping in the afternoons which isn't me. My doctor took me off of veggies (ugh!) to see if there was an intolerance with those, but nothing has changed. I look like I'm 3-4 months pregnant and it hurts... it's horrible!

What should I try now? Could it be fructose and fruit intolerance? I am only eating meat, fruit, rice cakes, and cereal right now. Should I try taking high fructose fruit out? I know apples are high in fructose and I eat 2 a day....

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I want to feel better and feel like myself again!

Thanks!!

I know exactly how you feel! I looked preggers too! I went from 95 lbs to 140 lbs in about four days! I just found out that I might have candida so i eliminated all fruit as well. I only eat meat, eggs, and veggies. Make sure there's no yeast! Plus, make sure you take a lot of probiotics because you're not getting any. That should help with the constipation.

Try dropping the rice cakes and cereal. What are you putting on the cereal? If it is Rice Dream rice milk that is not safe for us. Add in rice, potatoes, well cooked veggies and fruits. Cream of buckwheat cereal is good if you have to have a cereal in the morning. The less processed foods the better for healing.

I agree, drop the cereal and rice cakes for a month. See if there is any improvement. Then try eliminating nightshades, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes. Try it for a month and see if it helps.

A few years ago, Rice Dream listed barley as an ingredient. Today, the manufacturer does not list barley and labels the product as gluten-free. Did the product change, or are they now hiding the barley and lying about it? You decide.

On their website, it says this:

Is RICE DREAM Beverage a gluten free product?

Yes. Although RICE DREAM Beverage is processed using a barley enzyme, the barley enzyme is discarded after use. The final beverage might contain a minute residual amount (less than .002%) of barley protein.

I know that I stay away from the rice milk, big time.

Rice Dream milk a no go...huh...who'd have thunk it.... ugh! I'm glad I read this now instead of finding out the hard way! Thanks Shauna!

I have been Loving almond milk! It's soy, lactose and gluten free! Tastes great too! Plus I live in the central valley of California, where almonds are a HUGE crop around here! Blue Diamond brand buys a lot of the locally grow almonds, and I buy their milk! See, I'm going local and green! :) Maybe not, but it makes me feel good...lol!

Feel better Dancer! That weight gain stuff from the bloated belly really messed with my head. I know how you feel! I have always struggled with weight, so I had gastric bypass surgery 3 years ago. Talk about drastic measures! Since then, any weight gain freaks me out more than the average person, because I have a strong "I won't go there again" inner voice. Once I figured out it was the gluten..not me, who put that beer belly gut on....I was thrilled to watch the scale drop...quickly!

It will get better. Sounds like some great advice has come before me. Good luck!

I drink vanilla silk, but I haven't had issues with Soy, and I only use it in my tea and the occasional cereal. I was surprised with the rice milk!

When I get wonky (stomach wise) I switch to strictly fresh foods, chicken breast, mashed (home made) mashed potatos, lots of fresh fruits and veggies...It gives me time to heal a little. Maybe switch to completely fresh with as little processed as possible.

I'm sorry you're having trouble!

For rice milk if you live near a Wegmans their rice milk is for sure safe. It is imported from Canada and Wegmans is very strict on the gluten issue. It is the one I use for chocolate milk as I don't care for any milk straight.

You all ROCK! I will give it a try.

I cut out bread and baked goods becasue those really make me sick. That is why I eat the rice cakes and cereal. But I will try not eating them for awhile. I don't put anything on my cereal except blueberries. No milk. I don't like the rice milk... it doesn't set well. :)

I go to a nutritionist in a few weeks and will check back in and let you all know what she says... She has celiac as well and works with the local CSA chapter.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
