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.

      Welcome to the forum, @Mmoc! Please include the reference ranges for the IGA and the TTG tests in your next post if you have access to them. We cannot comment much otherwise as different labs use different reference ranges for these tests and also different units of measurement. There are no universal standards as of yet so the raw test numbers are not always helpful. Having said that, if your IGA (what we usually call "total IGA") is low, the TTG-IGA score will be skewed and cannot be trusted. Other kinds of tests for celiac disease would need to be run, particularly those in the IGG family of tests. Perhaps this will be helpful:

      Hi there any advice welcomed. I have had 4 years of symptoms ranging from immune related anaphylactic symptom sudden onset food allergy to peppers/paprika/chilli/capsicum family derivatives. all these allergies fizzled out and following a food challenge test in hospital I reintroduced them a few months ago. Since then my digestive system is a mess. i have since noticed that 4 years ago when testing for iga allergies my iga level was .62 and my ttg was less than .1 (due to symptoms I was probably eating very plainly at that time). should I insist on being retested for celiac? I’ve since read two indicators for celiac include: sensitive to spicy foods when in flare up tooth enamel weakness and symmetrical discolouration patches on teeth which I have had since childhood on my two front teeth     thanks

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.
