it appears that my body is reacting to so many food that my safe list only consits of chicken haddock onion garlic cauliflower lacteze milk sea salt pepper agave nectar rice chex blue berries belkin style yogurt and i think that is pritty much it

now my dr said i should be taking a multi vit probiotic b 12 serc RX zantac RX and cholesteramine and dicetel

now to me right now i think taking all of this will up set my digestive system even more

the allergy dr says to follow a yeast free diet BUT i cant do nightshade gluten soy lactose egg and all the other veggies cause some allergy probs

i was hosplised april 2nd with a suver blow out i got really dehydrated i could not keep fluids or food in so i had sevral tests and scans and the only thing that they could determine was there was a bactrial infection and to go home and follow a strict diet well since then the diet bacame so strict that im not consumeing much and my weight went from 190-148 in a way thats not a bad thing i look great but my guts feel like mush

i am at the point i have no idea what to do i go away from seeing my dr more frustarated after seeing her than before i went in and it seems like she wants to give me a pill for the symptoms but not deal with why is this happening

Sorry you're having such a rough time. Our bodies are realy really amazing and they try very hard to repair themselves but when overtasked the healing takes time. If you can do as your doc has suggested I think his advise is good, and hopefully by adding these things to your routine more healing will come. Good thing is you know what you can eat. You may have to stick with that until your system will allow for more. Take care of yourself and be patient.

It's frustrating isn't it?! Get the RXs the Dr ordered. They may help to heal your upset system a bit faster?

The limited diet is pretty boring, but you should be able to add more back in once you've healed.

I'm like you..wanting to be healed and get on with things. I have a lot of restrictions right now too.

I guess it took a while for us to be in this shape..and it will take a while to get sorted out? :(

You could try soy-free Earth Balance for your biscuits. You may have to adjust the amount depending on experimentation. And you might have to refrigerate/freeze the dough a little before baking since the Earth Balance is a different consistency from shortening (softer). The alternative would be an oil you tolerate since it seems like dairy is out.

Glad that you were able to tolerate the multi and the probiotic. Keep it up and you WILL get there -- it just may take longer than you expected :(

Once you get used to thinking about what you can eat, rather than what you can't, it's really much easier. You don't need to walk the whole supermarket wondering what to eat - you just need to walk around the perimeter where they keep the naturally gluten free whole foods and make your selections from there - chicken, fin fish, veggies, fruit. You can venture into the middle for things like rice but don't mess around with the gluten free processed foods until you're much further down the road. Play a game - pretend when you are in the supermarket that you are a caveman out hunting wild game, fruits, berries - anything naturallly edible (except wheat, barley and rye :ph34r: ). Now some of these things you may not tolerate at first but they should be the first things you try to add in, like nuts, dates, raisins - not the gluten free cookies :D

      Chest pain from celiac

      By TheFuzz · Posted

      I had similar pains after going gluten-free.  Turns out it was more related to undiagnosed rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia.  Because celiac is an immune dysfunction disease, it's possible you have another underlying one.  I wish mine had been identified much sooner, so you may want to look at symptoms of diseases like RA and lupus to see if you have other symptoms that might point you in the right direction to ask the right questions.

      When they give you a blood test, there's a range they consider low to high from the results.  It's not based on how much vitamin you're taking.  My blood tests were low and then I took 5000 IU and they went too high on the blood test.  I also get exposed to D from the sun and I live in a very sunny area and I get D in some foods I eat.  I was very annoyed with the doctors because they weren't paying attention to the blood test results in order to help me figure out the optimum dose for me.  They just told me to take it when it was low on the blood test and didn't pay any attention after that.  Too much of a good thing is not a good a thing.  I hope the medical field knows enough to really know what the safe range is.  However, I would not go by just intake or sun exposure since how much each person can absorb is different.  That's why I wanted actual testing to determine my levels. Also, interesting points, about the choline.  I just saw some information about it yesterday and was thinking I'd better check if I'm getting the RDA.  This is the second mention I've seen on this in two days, so maybe the universe is trying to tell me something. If I get cramps in my feet, salt usually helps with it.  It usually means my electrolyte levels are off somehow.  I bought some electrolyte water from Sprouts.  I also try to add salt (Himalayan or sea) to my meals.  I always hear cut out salt from medical professionals.  I don't think they realize that when you make things from scratch and eat unprocessed foods, you've probably cut out a lot of the salt in an average American diet.  It can be easy to be too low on salt if you make things yourself. I've read selenium is important to balance iodine intake and one shouldn't have too much of one and not enough of the other.

      How high is too high?  I take 10,000 IU vitamin D3 every day.  My blood is stable at 80 ng/ml (200 nmol/L).  Even at 10,000 a day it took 8 years to raise it to 80.  Higher levels of 25(OH)D in blood can moderate the autoimmune attack.  Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought Lower vitamin D levels have also been associated with increased OCD symptom severity.  This is a most dangerous popular belief. As mentioned you are suffering from vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Part of the recovery, that is never explained by doctors, is replenishing your deficits.  Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption.  The Western diet is a diet of deficiency.  That is why many processed foods are fortified.  Gluten free foods are exempt.   "I’ve been completely asymptomatic since diagnosis."  There are 200 symptoms that can be caused by Celiac Disease and the malabsorbtion it can cause.     • "Floating, undigested stools for over a year now. Dont think its related to celiac as it was like this since im 17 and not 13-16( i got diagnosed at 13). " Many are misdiagnosed as gall bladder disease.  Choline is needed to create the bile salts needed to digest fat.  90% of our population is deficient.  Eggs and beef are the best source.  The RDA (minimum daily allowance is 500 mg to 3500 mg daily.  One egg has 27% DV.  Broccoli, chopped, boiled, drained, ½ cup only has 7%.  Low choline can cause Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.   Choline and Risk of Neural Tube Defects in a Folate-fortified Population; Could we be overlooking a potential choline crisis in the United Kingdom?;   Choline was formerly called vitamin B4.  I prefer phoshphatidyl choline for supplementation as it is the form we get in food.   • Chronic back pain started gradually, worsens with movement, lots of cracking/popping sounds.  Vitamin D deficiency may be linked to chronic back pain, But I took levothyroxine for slightly low FT4 levels.  I supplement Iodine by taking Liquid Iodine.  50 mcg per drop.  The RDA is 150 mcg to 1000 mcg in the US.  In Japan it is 150 mcg to 3000 mcg.  I take 600 mcg a day. Since 1970 the intake of iodine has decreased in the US by 50%.  Hypothyroidism has increased 50%.  Insufficient iodine leads to the thyroid gland working harder to produce these hormones, and if it cannot keep up, hypothyroidism can develop, according to the Mayo Clinic.   Iodine Insufficiency in America: The Neglected Pandemic.   I see improvement in muscle tone, healing, brain fog since taking the Liquid Iodine.  I could not eat enough seaweed.
