i don't know if I'm posting this in the right place but I'm hoping that someone here could give me some ideas on what in the world i can eat? i have been up all night puking and butt puking and now i have no idea what to eat, so i have been sipping at water all morning and afternoon trying to figure this out

i look at banana's and think no i get heart burn

strawberries no i get hives

no lactose

no gluten

diffentally no soy bad reaction

no dill bad reaction

eggs up set stomach

nothing acidic

this relay limits what i can consume

i have been looking through the cupboards and fridge and freezer and just staring blankly at the foods and get discouraged because i have been throwing out lots of foods that i make and either getting sick from it or it tasting so awful that the dog wont even eat it lol

so i guess my question to you who is reading this is: what would you eat if you had these restrictions?

Can you eat meat and rice???

When I was at my sickest I would brown ground lamb then take plain cooked white rice and (kinda) stir-fry them together. It was ,and still is, my safest meal.

It seemed like forever (in actuality it was only about 3 weeks) before I could eat anything more.

Sorry that you are feeling so ill...not fun! If I was nauseous, I'd be inclined to have some chicken and rice soup (or just broth with rice in it). Would that work for you? I'd probably also sip a coke or ginger ale as I find that to be soothing for me but don't know if that would work for you.

I was having the same problems with foods when I was diagnosed. It has taken a while to add foods back to my diet. It helped to follow the online SCD diet.

Bananas give me stomach aches but now I eat a lot of them. They have to be very ripe, no green, lots of brown spots. I can peel them, dip them in Vit C or lemon water and freeze them in small bags for snacks. They are OK cooked with gluten-free millit, rice or buckwheat cereal. I can mash them with cooked winter squash, raisins, cooked pork, pears, coconut. Unless they have been frozen I have to mix them with something.

Fruits I can eat are apples and pears. Prunes, dried cranberries and raisins I soak in Vit C water to deactivate mold toxins. Can't tolerate grapes or fresh prunes/plums. Grapefruit, tangerines OK but oranges less OK.

When I'm feeling sick I try to eat plain, bland stuff--rice and baked chicken, chicken and rice soup (homemade), rice cakes with peanut butter or gluten-free toast with PB--peanut butter almost always stays down when I feel like throwing up. A baked potato or mashed potatoes with a little salt to replenish the salts you are losing by throwing up and D. Gatorade is helpful for dehydration as well just don't drink too much because of the sugar. I drink ginger ale too--it's just about the only soda I will drink and only when I'm super sick because the ginger and carbonation settles my stomach.

I would just like to add that you might consider taking L-Glutamine to help your gut heal. Many of us have been helped by doing so.

possibly,, have you considered the possibility of leaky gut or additional intolerances or allergys???

Doing a strict elimination diet may a good thing at this point.

when I did my elimination diet I picked foods that I rarely ate at first.I was so ill that I ate plain white rice and ground lamb for about 3 weeks and then started adding foods back SLOWLY VERY VERY SLOWLY . The first week I did add sweet potatoes ( not a nightshade ) peas and peaches. After 2 weeks with no reaction I started adding ONE Food a week.It is tough VERY VERY tough, but feeling well is so very worth it.

When I did my elimination diet there were many food I could not tolerate that I have since been able to add back into my diet. With time my gut has healed a bit and I have been able to add back dairy ( that makes me a VERY happy girl) and am testing out other foods. Many food I can tolerate small amounts on occasionally. So other than gluten and soy which are PERMANENTLY out of my diet. I am playing with SLOWLY add other foods back.

Hang in there. I do know how tough it is ,, but you can do this :)

Soup! Make a simple broth by boiling/simmering bones or a chicken. Strain it then add back veggies you can eat and meat. Boil it until everything is soft and eat it. You might look into GAPS. It does include some foods you can't eat but you introduce each food slowly, and don't introduce foods that are known problems. There's lots of info on it out there. I have just finished summarizing the first six stages on the blog linked from my profile.

Chicken soup is a life saver. There is something in the chicken broth from a boiled chicken that really helps. Boil you up a chicken for about an hour, save that broth and us it for your soup. You can put in what you can eat. Sometimes when the body just gets the icks, I find this as my solution. I hope you get to feeling better.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
