Feeling Yucky

My new years motto was stop whining since I finally found out why I was feeling poorly, but I can't help feeling so yucky with anxiety, headaches, gasses, and busted sinuses every day. When on earth am I going to get well :-( I'm tired of feeling anxious, and oh my god I'm so over the mind-fog. I just want to focus, put my mind into something productive and just get on with my life. On top of all the foods I've eliminated, seems that even more are going out the window until there is nothing but meat and veggies left. It sucks to have to cook yummy sauces, pasta, and potatoes for my husband while I eat a bloody salad :-( I miss cheese, and I miss eggs and creamy lasagnas. BLah

Could I still be detoxing from soy and lactose?? When should I decide if more foods are to be eliminated

I don't know what to do. I have a deadline tomorrow and I can't think. My house is so bloody messy and gets dusty faster than I can think. Everything is disgusting

I feel your pain! I have kept a good spirit throughout the process, but for me its has seemed three steps forward and one back, which is frustrating me.

I personally took the route of eating only a few things that I knew were safe for me... eggs, chicken, non-gassy veggies... then adding in something else, one item at a time. If there was no reaction, I added another. If there was a reaction, I waited at least a week before trying another new item.

And yet, my body is changing, now rejecting things that were ok a month ago! Joke is on me.

But the path to wellness is worth never putting another croissant into my mouth!

I can't help you with when to eliminate more items, since I did the opposite way. But I can send hugs and empathy for your frustration and physical symptoms!

Good luck!

Hi there, I noticed you mentioned anxiety - which for me was a major sympton. I went to see a Naturopath this past summer and she put me on a Calcium Magnesium Citrate (powder)supplement. She told me that undiangosed Celiac can lead to Magnesium deficiencies (among other things)if you are deficient in Magnesium you can experience anxiety. When I get get glutened my axiety becomes worse so I increase my Cal Mag supplement. If you are not already on a Cal Mag supplement you may want to consider it.

Thanks for the comforting. I woke up feeling just a little foggy, but then the anxiety decided to kick in and I felt devastated. I'm starting from 0 and eliminated everything today. Hubs will have to eat up everything!

Thanks for the tip Molly. I'm in the middle of changing clinics so I'm on my own for a while. I'm taking supplements which include everything at the moment. Don't know how effective that is.

Gosh that sounds so much like me. I'm trying Failsafe diet at the moment, which means I have lentils, rice, and brussels sprouts coming out of my ears. :lol: My Dr. thinks part of the issue may be perimenopausal migraines. Ugh, yuck. I want my brain back, please.

I agree with the other posters. Find a simple safe diet and then add things one per week. Keep a food/symptom journal so that you can track things back. If you keep to simple unprocessed foods it is easier to figure out. Keep track of brands too whenever you can. You will get back to a variety of foods before too long. It is challenging and requires discipline, but it's worth it to get yourself a safe diet.

Yes, I started the diet yesterday, and I've been keeping a journal for three weeks now. I just needed to vent yesterday because everything was piling up and I felt useless. In case anyone might be wondering I managed to keep with my deadline today :-)

I'm on meat and veggies now, and I'm using olive oil and unfiltered apple cider vinegar. Nothing else. I'm not sure if it's necessary to exclude fruits though.

You can always add fruits back if you start feeling better.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
