6 months of feeling ill, every single day. Nausea, tiredness, swollen throat, stomach pain, generally feeling rubbish. Missing loads of school and exams..

It's starting to effect me a lot now, I just feel like there's is no point in life anymore..just getting up to feel ill.

After 4 months gluten free still have a TTG level of 229 (normal is under 10)

No hope left anymore, starting to get depressed, and scared..I have massive emetophobia so feeling nauseous 24/7 is not a good thing at all!

Went to A&E, hospital said they couldnt do anything so got sent home..

Just really cannot cope.

You haven't mentioned much about your lifestyle.. like what do you usually eat, what precautions have you taken to make sure you're completely gluten-free.

The way you're feeling now is directly related to your health situation, believe me! Depression and feelings of hopelessness are caused by whatever is making you feel ill. We'll need more details to be able to find out what is making you feel ill though :-)

I usually eat toast on a morning, with butter from my own butter, no cross contamination there, and with my own toaster. Gluten free bread obviously. Then usually at school, a sandwhich, yet again with gluten-free bread and my own butter and usually cheese or chicken. Then for tea..meat and vegetables, keeping it simple.

How about giving up any type of bread-like product for a weekend and see how you feel? For breakfast, you could have eggs or fruit with yogurt.

Sounds like some hidden cross-contamination somewhere. Maybe toothpaste, mouthwash, or lip balm/lipstick products are not 100% gluten-free?

I meant, are they OK with the gluten-free thing? Do they keep any gluten in one place, away from your foods? Use separate colanders for your gluten-free pasta or fruit? No one in the house thinks its stupid and puts flour in your food? Have they checked any medications you take for gluten? No oats?

I'm trying to think of the things that have happened to others.

I have oats cut out totally, I have seperate pans and my own cutlery etc. And no, they all realise the seriousness so I dont think someone doing it on purpose would be the case

I am so sorry you are going through that. My daughter is 13 and has similar issues, and like you, major phobia of vomiting, which unfortunately, she does a lot. I would reccomend an elimination diet for now. Stick with very bland things- rice, chicken, fruit and veggies. Avoid dairy 100%. This can allow your gut to heal, and then you can try adding back one thing at a time. I promise you, this can get better!

As for the nausea, get some Braggs apple cider vinegar. Put a teaspoon in a glass of water and drink when your stomach hurts. It gives almost instant relief and really helps when my daughter is throwing up.

I know it is hard not to be discouraged, but it really will get better. Hang in there!

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.
