Nightshades Too?

I've been gluten free for about six weeks (for the most part but I've made some mistakes) and I'm still have lots of bathroom issues. Reviewing what I've eaten it seems that tomatoes and potatoes are causing me to have diarrhea within an hour of eating them. So I'll be giving up those for a while now, too.

I'm not sure I'm ever going to get this all figured out. But I can now spell diarrhea without the use of a spellchecker. Whoohoo.

Try peeling the nightshades before you give them up entirely. Most of the toxins are in the skin.

If you are reacting to a whole family of foods such as nightshades, I'd suggest reading up on cross reactive pollens (probably birch for nightshades) and look up what is high in your area. Being treated for the pollen (birch for ex) will help eliminate or lighten the problems with the foods.

Hon, you could have bathroom issues for a while yet. You're still early in the game here. You'll get it all figured out!! ;)

Do as Jess suggests, peel the nightshades and see it if helps.

Two thoughts if the " big D" (man, I get tired of typing out diarrhea :D ) continues: dump dairy for a while and take probiotics.

And kudos for keeping your sense of humor during this recovery phase :lol: . Not everyone can do that.

whoohoo!!!!

Potatoes, tomatoes, sweet and hot peppers, eggplant, tomatillos, tamarios, pepinos, pimentos, paprika, and cayenne peppers are classified as nightshade foods.

Thanks for the perspective. I think I was hoping for an Open & Shut, Black & White, Aha! answer but instead I've got an Ajar, Gray, Huh? answer.

:lol::lol:

Atta girl, keep that sense of humor. You're gonna need it. Saved me from swan-diving off a cliff during this mess (pre-DX and post).

Wish we could tell you definitively what will happen on this healing journey, but alas, we cannot.

No playbook, no set time pattern for recovery and certainly no "one size fits all" answers.

Every BODY is different.

Hang tough.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
