Gluten Free Diet 2nd Time Around

So about three weeks ago i went back on the Gluten-Free diet. I know it has only been a very short time- but the last time i did i almost instantly felt better. Within a week i was waking up refreshed- D went away in days!! This time- i dont have the d's as often, but definitely worse than last time- my face did clear up which gets really bad with gluten im constantly exhausted and cannot wake up in the morning to save my life- (I am aware of the withdrawal issues, and its possible but at least last time b4 the withdrawal i felt AWESOME!!) I am very careful to avoid cross contamination and know what i can and cannot eat so i dont think im getting glutened- Not to mention for some reason- I will be starving one minute, and by the time i make something to eat and take a bite im not hungry anymore- So im not really eating much anyway! Which i guess could be a reason for being so tired- Anyone else have a reaction to the diet like this on their 2nd go around.. or 1st for that matter- its hard to stick to something when you dont really see results- especially if they once produced life changing ones!!

I imagine you have damaged your intestines further, and so they may take longer to heal. Why did you go back to eating gluten if it was working for you?

Well, long story short I went through some family issues and somehow got back onto drinking beer- and it just kind of spiraled out of control after that- I am so mad that I did- Guess it will help knowing that I made it worse- lol- wont go back to gluten again for sure!!!

I would tend to agree with kitgordon. I don't have any real knowledge base here, but my suspicion is that you just need more time to let the additional damage heal. You also have motivation to stay gluten free knowing that it will likely be harder the 3rd time around. It took me a long long time to feel better. Keep it up and look through all your food, products, and cooking supplies again incase something is slipping in. I'm assuming you've cut dairy already. (Hint, hint)

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By amantelchi · Posted

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
