I have not had a cramp, emergency potty trip or bout of D in 5 days!!!

gluten-free, carb and sugar light. 1 librax at night (can't take it 3x a day. It has valium in it and that just throws me for a loop), 1 probiotic in the morning.

When I mean carb light I mean really light. I am mostly back to whole foods, eggs, boarshead bacon, beans, lean meats, Lots of veggies, watermelon (other fruits kinds tear up my mouth). I have also been dairy light but not on purpose. Not sure if that means something.

I am just so happy that I have been able to go to the store without praying someone isn't in the bathroom!

Oh and I've lost 11 lbs in the past couple of months.

Oh I have been dxed with High blood pressure but on meds for that now too.

So have you eliminated all grains? Potatoes? or just some? I would be interested in knowing. :)

Isn't it heavenly not planning your day by access to bathrooms? I (and I am sure many others) am so happy for you.

Hurray!!! Sounds like we're on a similar diet (although mine is technically SIBO) - basically whole foods, protein in the form of fish, chicken broth, or eggs, and lots of cooked veggies and fruits. It's working for me too!

Mushroom- Not entirely. I will make like a banana bread and eat a piece (rice flour) once a week. I made pizza the other night and ate several pieces but that is the only grain carb I've had all week. I've given up all the waffles, pancakes, bread, crackers etc. I find I don't really miss them though.

Now things like potato, although carb, do not react in my body like grain carbs do. I eat a LOT of potato. Usually baked. One every other day maybe. I also eat carrots. I seem to have no problem from veggie carb, only grain carb. *shrug* Im not going to try to understand why lol. If it works, I'm stickin with it!

Lucia, what is SIBO?

That's great, I'm glad for you! I'm mostly grain-free(I'm getting there). I still eat white rice maybe once or twice a week. I use a lot of non-grain(buckwheat and quinoa are okay on the grain-free diet, they're not grains). I do feel better too.

Yay yay yay yay yay! Congats! I'm in a similar boat...been feeling great for over a month now! I'm trying to not let "pessimistic" Heather back into my brain, but it's still hard. My paranoia runs deep because my symptoms of glutening are so intense!

Good job again, and good job for staying vigilant! Mad props to you!

Since Lucia is not around, it stands for Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth.

Hurray! It's great to find what works. It makes it so much easier to stick to it when you feel much better. :)

      Welcome to the forum, @DanteZaffar! Are you still eating oats (even gluten free oats) and dairy? There are other foods besides those that contain gluten that can cause celiac-like reactions. We call this "cross reactivity" (not to be confused with cross contamination). Their proteins are similar enough in structure to gluten to trigger the same kind...

      I thank all who have replied to my initial comment. After letting it sink in for a few days and since eliminating gluten I have to say I do feel some better so all is not lost. I have investigated and there are lots of gluten free choices I can make without giving up really anything. At some point I will attempt to make my own gluten free bread when I have...

I tried eating different food for a week including eggs meats and veggies alongside gluten free brown pasta and somehow I still managed to wake up today with a headache, anxiety, and just gi distress. It’s very annoying but I’m trying to find a suitable diet since I’m so young and just want to heal my intestines before moving onto things like milk and oats. I had a fear for awhile that I may have refractory celiac but I’ve noticed it wasn’t very common amongst newly diagnosed people.

      Welcome to the forum, @DanteZaffar! Are you still eating oats (even gluten free oats) and dairy? There are other foods besides those that contain gluten that can cause celiac-like reactions. We call this "cross reactivity" (not to be confused with cross contamination). Their proteins are similar enough in structure to gluten to trigger the same kind of reaction. Oats and dairy are perhaps the most common offenders. You might try eliminating these two from your diet for awhile and see if symptoms improve. With dairy, lactose intolerance can also be an issue but often resolves in time when sufficient healing in the small bowel lining has taken place.

      I thank all who have replied to my initial comment. After letting it sink in for a few days and since eliminating gluten I have to say I do feel some better so all is not lost. I have investigated and there are lots of gluten free choices I can make without giving up really anything. At some point I will attempt to make my own gluten free bread when I have nothing else to do and see how that works. I got to thinking even though annoying it's not the end of the world, this problem is manageable, and it can be a learning curve for sure. Maybe this is just another part of the aging process so I better get used to it. Thank you all again.
