Normal On Gluten Free Diet?

Metoo

I am on day 4 of a gluten free diet. I have pretty much been eating the same things, eggs, bananas, apples, chicken, oatmeal (gluten-free)....well Wednesday I had a strawberry milkshake from McDonalds...because I was hungry after work. No whip cream or syrup or cherry on top.

Yesterday I got the same thing again after work because I was so hungry again, and didn't know what else to get.

Well I wound up having abdominal pain again. But this time it lasted WAY less than it normally does, only about 1 hour.

I am still in the process of finding out what is wrong, I tested neg for celiac, but positive for IgE gluten, at a work allergy test...next week I go to an allergist.

Is this a normal thing when starting gluten free, that you might have your symptoms return but not as bad as before? Either that or maybe I am allergic to strawberries too.

I don't know if the shakes are gluten free or not but I do know that it is best if you wait to try gluten free oats. Some of us are intolerant of them so wait until you have well healed before trying those out.

In the meantime there are oat free breakfast cereals that are hot. I like Cream of Buckwheat.

I would steer clear of the oatmeal too. It's one of the grains that they're just not sure about and most have a good chance of having cc.

Maybe it's the milk product in the shake that's bothering you? If you have villi damage you will have a hard time digesting dairy.

So even if the oatmeal is certified gluten free it maynot be okay?

Its gluten-free if you buy the gluten-free kind. But...about 10% of Celiacs react to it the same as wheat. It is recommended that you not it eat it until fully healed.

I'm not sure what the recommendation is for non-Celiac inrtolerance but I would think it is easy enough to avoid it for 6 months to a year.

      almost a year in recovery - so many questions about to give up

      thank you, ive asked my dr to test for vitamin deficiency and shes only said vitamin d (very low 26) and b12, she says all other vitamins are not included in her blood tests only the major ones, C, D, E, B12 etc. Ive been following the aip diet now and im going to stay on it very strict to see how it goes. im eating tons of food, romaine salads, mango, peaches, pears, cucumber, celery, zuccnini, sweet potator, plantains, ground turkey and beef and chicken.  i eat about 4 plate filling meals a day with two to three good size snacks a day including about 3 or 4 bananas. im still not absorbing nutrients, if i eat any sort of food with fat, I.e ground beef or fatty pork the taste of fat lingers in my mouth for 2-3 hours sometimes longer, if i bask in sun for vitamin d i feel great but then lethargic and feel strange for a day or two later, like im still absorbing it all in. even regular sweet foods like fruit the sweetness stays in mouth for hours. ive had blood work done for gall bladder, thryroid, pancreas, liver, kindey dr says they are all fine. i dont know what other tests i can do?   ive attached two pictures of the rash that broke out on my legs, feet and small one near wrist bone bright red was before treatment, second scabby one is during treatment and healing.  https://freeimage.host/i/FrI3KZb https://freeimage.host/i/FrI3Fwu

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By StuartJ · Posted

      Just ate some for lunch!  A really superb alternative to gluten-free bread and burger buns that all have the taste and consistency of compacted sawdust.  I bought two packs and now I'm down to one remaining muffin so need to get some more; the only thing is it's their own brand - they don't do mail or on line ordering and the nearest TJ's is in Charlottesville (a real nightmare to drive around) an hour away from me over the mountain.  😒

      Question about biopsy

      By somethinglikeolivia · Posted

      When I underwent a scope three years ago, the GI told me I was negative for celiac because there was no intestinal damage (in spite of multiple strong positive labs). I went back to look at my biopsy report out of curiosity, and found this note: “Localized mild nodular mucosa was found in the duodenal bulb. Duodenum otherwise normal.” The pathology from this scope was negative. Does anyone have any insight into mild modular mucosa and what that could indicate or be a precursor to? I’ve read it can be a sign of celiac or other gut issues like h. Pylori, etc.  Thanks in advance!
