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.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
