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.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
