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.

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
