What To Eat Once Contaminated?

I have been diagnosed for about 5 years now and I have ups and downs. I am very careful about what I eat. I somehow became contaminated about two weeks ago. I have had horrible diarrhea which will probably last for about another week (it usually takes three weeks to stop after contamination). At this point, I don't know what to eat. Everything makes me uncomfortable and it goes right through. But, I get hungry. Any ideas on what foods would be good until things calm down?

Sorry you are feeling so bad right now. I go with Cream of Buckwheat and also chicken broth with rice noodles. Sweet potatos are also good as they have good amounts of both soluable and insoluable fiber so they help with both D and C.

Thanks for the tips. They all actually sound appealing, especially the sweet potato. I will definitely try them.

I tend to stick to a bland diet when I get glutened. I will do chicken broth, rice, plain meats, baked potatoes, eggs etc. I try not to overdue it with fat since I tend to get fat malabsorption when glutened. I take RX creon when I get like that too but that is just me. Hope you feel better soon.

Fat malabsorption - definitely. What's creon?

Open Original Shared Link

It is a prescription pancreatic enzyme. I was prescribed it back in Aug. 2010 when I was having severe fat malabsorption. It, along with another elimination diet was a last ditch effort to avoid steriods. I had been having issues for 8 months. I was able to quit taking it after about 3 months(I became constipated). I had discovered during that time of elimination I was reacting to gluten free oat cross contamination in gluten free products. I now avoid any gluten free product that may have that in and I am fine. However, whenever I get gluten or gluten free oat contamination or accidently eat something I get severe diarrhea and steatorrhea(fat malabsorption). The creon helps during the week or so it takes me to get over it, then I quit taking it.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule.

      suggest gluten free food

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.
