5 Days Into Diet And Sort Of Feeling Better!

I hope this is not a fluke or a "placebo effect."

Let me start by saying my symptoms aren't too bad, nothing diabilitating like some of you. I am also waiting for the official diagnosis.

Normally, I just have some D in the morning and my GI symptoms are done for the day. Today I had my first almost normal BM in months! (I know the weird things we can discuss here and get excited about.)

Today around 1:30 or so without even thinking, I decided it was time to dust my room and fold clothes. Suddenly I realized this is the time I crash every day. I didn't feel tired. I had energy and I finished the job I started. It also happened to be a rainy dreary day which usually doesn't help with that tired feeling. I'm really hoping this wasn't a fluke.

Ha, yes - kind of funny when there are tons of people here who will be cheering for regular poop, LOL. And we totally are!! :D

I hope that your symptoms are a result of your diet. Many here most definitely see an effect within days, so it's not unheard of!

I didn't have horrible symptoms prediagnosis, so I saw improvement within days! The good news...it just keeps getting better! :D

I had horrible symptoms and still did better in a week or two as far as GI. It's not in your head an I'm glad to hear you're feeling better!

With me, I think it's going to be a case of not realizing I was sick until I start feeling better. My "normal" isn't really normal.

Yay! I felt better within 3 days. Energy went back up, mood swings weren't as bad, skin looked better, hair wasn't falling out as much..oh yeah and I could go #2 without severe pain and major C! It is funny how we get so excited for other peoples BM!

Yup. My normal before was operating at about 65% good health. Now my normal is 100% if I'm really being good about my diet. I don't eat wheat/dairy/corn and mostly soy, but a lot of grains and processed foods slip into my diet, esp this busy time of year and I don't feel as energetic. But when my diet is pure I feel amazing all the time. You will just get better and better. I'm always a little excited for people at the beginning of this journey because I know they are going to keep feeling better and really the big health puzzle starts to come together for many people. Years of questions and doubts start to get answered.

TPT, we started our diets about the same time (Thanksgiving day for me!). I could tell a difference with the GI symptoms within two or three days. SO GLAD!!! For me, the biggest difference has been when I wake in the morning. I actually want to get out of bed! Well, except for this morning...my little one was up in the night with a stomach virus (EEWWW!).

And I have no diagnosis. Just a year and a half of pure misery and twelve puzzled doctors. They did a scope when I first got sick, but only biopsied my esophagus. :blink:

I waited until after Thanksgiving, too. Several of us have about the same start date, then. :) I'm surprised...I haven't had a nap yet this week! I had gotten to the point where I couldn't make it through a whole day awake.

People are very emotionally attached to their holiday rituals and holiday foods. My boyfriend's mother got unnecessarily upset when she forgot the cranberry sauce one year. :/ I can't imagine what it would be like to tell them that the only thing they make every year that I could eat would be the turkey, and maybe the cranberry sauce.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
