This morning as I was eating my rice flour/banana pancakes I was a little overwhelmed thinking about how thankful I am that I have been diagnosed. I clearly remember pre-diagnosis and how yucky I felt after a gluten filled version of this morning's breakfast would make me feel. It was a joy to have a couple of big fat pancakes and not feel the days-long gut churning, nausea, tiredness and all over malaise I used to have! YAY! :D

I feel the same way everyday of my life. So grateful and thankful that I can feel great again. For years I was dizzy and foggy and fatigued. I live most of my days now downright giddy that I figured out why. Best of all, I've got back my creativity and forward thinking.

I'm not quite back to clear thinking all the time, but I have had it happen enough that it gives me hope for the near future!

I'm not quite back to clear thinking all the time, but I have had it happen enough that it gives me hope for the near future!

I'm also feeling hopeful. I've been gluten free for almost a week, so I haven't noticed significant change, but just knowing that there's a reason for my symptoms and a way to reduce them gives me hope!

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By trents · Posted

      Makes me wonder if it has something to do with the fact that the protein avenin in oats triggers a gluten-like reaction in some celiacs and that this stricter standard for oat products is concession to those people making noise on that basis.

      Yes, but what has really happened is that companies just removed "gluten-free" from their packaging, as General Mills has done for Canadian Cheerios. Why they would allow a 20ppm for gluten-free in other foods and only set this higher level for oats is very odd, and no other countries do this.

      Alcohol

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      That "gut ache" after drinking may be more than alcohol not agreeing with a gut that's trying to heal. Alcohol prevents absorption of vitamins, and actually breaks thiamine Vitamin B 1 so it cannot function.  Thiamine deficiency can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi, with symptoms of digestive upsets and abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, and can cause neurological problems and problems with thinking and judgement.  I've experienced Gastrointestinal Beriberi myself.  Thiamine supplementation is a must, along with the other B vitamins and Vitamin C.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Wernicke's Encephalopathy Triggered by One Session of Heavy Drinking https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31543793/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6739701/

      Yeah I think my body is definitely telling me to lay off the alcohol I just don’t seem to agree with it right now but that might be because my gut is still trying to heal.
