Feel Awkard With Lifestyle Changes

;) I know the difference from be glutened and be on gluten-free diet. I hasnt been tested yet but feel whole better by just not eat anything that have gluten in.

I am depressing, feel bit emotional, out of blue stressing, and mind are overwhelmed with lot of things to think and things to do.

I just feel overwhelmed with the changes in my diet and lifestyle. I found myself decline my family and friends on go out to restuarants lately... I even bought few things that are gluten free and I has been try to keep up with my diet. i has to jump back on gluten diet in order to keep my body to act like i am still sick and still hasnt figure what is going on with me...

Changes does not agree with my family very well. They once has to adjust to that I cannot eat tomato based foods and they still eat foods in front of me. It made me want some so badly that I end up break up in hives when i was youngster. So, you can see that they cant really make a adjustment for individual very well. :(

I guess my family sometimes can be self-centered in their own ways and dont like to make the adjustments which are not fair to them instead of thinking of me as individually. they are very lucky that nobody in family are allergic to peanuts since my family are nut about the peanuts. So, Do you see what I am trying to explain the experience? <_<

If I ever find out that I am gluten intolerant or have celiac. Oh boy, I will have to find my way around the cranks, cracks, and holes around my family to be more consider of me by not Cross comdinations in their kitchen since I am still living with my parents during time I am seearching for job.

lot of mumbling over this long thought I have on my mind for a bit time. :huh:

It might be a good idea for you to get tested? You will have to eat gluten every day for a while for the test to work.

If the test shows you are Celiac or gluten intolerant, maybe your family will take it more seriously? Just telling them that you *think* gluten bothers you will not make them be as careful.

I know it's hard when your family doesn't seem to try to be careful, or consider they might be contaminating things with gluten. You will have to look out for yourself and insist that you cannot eat any bit of gluten, not even a trace if you can't tolerate it.

Try to eat mostly fruit, veggies, plain meat, and eggs. Eat dairy products only if they don't bother you.

Good luck to you. I know it's hard to figure out what's making you feel bad, and even harder to get your family to help you.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
