Ok, here is the rapid start plan from dr. Phil. There will have to be some modifications to it to take out the things that bother us.

How about every Monday we weigh in. I'm going to do it today and then again on Monday. I like to use my waist measurement, my hips, my bust, and each thigh. I remember last time some weeks ibwould loose inches and not weight.

Exercise goal is something intentional every day. Intentional means you made time to do it. A walk, some weights, something.

Do we want to post what we are eating as well?

Sounds good. As far as the eating, that's alot but I know you were wanting to somehow put more veggies into your diet and I could benefit from the same.

I'm not feeling well today. Bad brain fog, fatigue, and joint pain. The muscles in my neck have been in spasms for 2 days now, and it feels migraine-y. My stomach has been upset also today. Eating didn't go so well....,

B: couple handfuls honey chex

L: picked at the kids fries from chick fi la, iced tea

Snack: couple more handfuls of chex

D: 2 pieces millet bread with gluten-free/cf butter, 1/2 pork chop(baked) bowl of homemade chicken and rice soup. Then I had a grilled cheese on the gluten-free bread. My stomach hurts from the cheese ibthink.

I'm laying in bed with a hot sock on my face. I'm alternating it between my neck and my head.

First of all, thank you GlutenFreeMamax2 for starting this support group. It's help me get my feet going again which is exactly what I needed!

30 minutes on the treadmill today at 3.8 mph

Livened up my mixed green salad for lunch with some cilantro and real bacon bits.

Homemade pork stir-fry with veggies and rice for dinner.

Only 3 cookies and a handful of potato chips!

In glad it's helping!!

We are all fighting colds in my house at the moment( and a gluten exposure yesterday for me ugh. My own stupid fault)

Today is rainy and yuck so no personal trainer for me.

For dinner last night I had homemade chicken caccitore and quinoa/corn spagetti with a little mozarella cheese on it. I had 2 small platefuls. Probably way over portion.

I'm the pickiest one in the house when it cones to veggies, so I hide them for me. It's an added benefit fir everyone else. I boiled cubed butternut squash and califlour. I put it in a ziplock bag and freeze. Last night I purred 4 squares of the squash into my sauce for the caccitore.

Tonight we are having mashed potatoes, and I will put the califlour in that.

No exercise fir me again yesterday:-( not unless you count carrying around an 11 pound baby all day!

Yesterday I worked out for 30 minutes on tredmill at 3.5 to 3.8 speed and incline was 10 to 15, traded off every 2 1/2 minutes.

For dinner yesterday I had a lean burger with tomato and onion w/rudis bread and I endulged in 3 glasses of wine.

Probably no work out for me today tummy is not feeling so good. I did however clean the whole place this morning!

Will have for dinner a fried egg with katchup on rudis bread :)

I go to bikram yoga 2-3x a week and I power walk 3-4x a week for 45-60 on the treadmill set on an incline.

Today's food:

Goal 155

This morning 168

Well today was not all that bad.....

B: 2 slices millet bread with butter and one slice of cheese. After eating almost the whole loaf this week, I glaced at tge calories today: 75 per slice!!! That is 150 per sandwhich. The butter is 100 calories per rablespoon. So now I'm up to 250 without the cheese!

S: 3 rice crackers I found in the car

L: chuckee cheese salad bar( lettuce carrots, parma cheese and egg) I crumbled rice crackers on it, plus my own gluten-free turkey, and my own dressing.

S I split 1 handful of m&m with my mil. GreT compromise

D. Jersey mikes sub in a tub on 2 slices of millet bread I had with me. Mayo and mustard oil and vinegar

S: 1 handful candy corn

No exercise today and a 4 hour car trip. I'm exhausted.

I took out all my prepregnancy clothes tonight and hung them in my closet. I'm one size away to a whole new wardrobe. I need to buckle down thus week and get over this plateu.

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms. The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines. While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten...

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      knitty kitty asks a very relevant question. So many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet soon before getting formally tested.

Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!
