Oh Yes I Remember Now

Feel like I really should be hit over the head with a very large hammer. Have been very ill for 5+ days. Gastric distress! This happens about twice a year and I deal with it and move on. However, this time is the worst. Went to my doctor and she says have you been paying attention to a celiac diet? Um no, kind of forgot about it...

My diagnosis was in 2005 with a biopsy. I was very strict for quite a while and felt much better for months. Then life intervened and I went through my second cancer diagnosis with Cemo and radiation. After that year I really don't think I have thought about celiac again.

Talking to my sister today she also said it sounds like a celiac reaction. So I picked up my computer and came immediately to the web sits. Of course it all fits. I feel dumb...

I also feel like a new diagnosis all over again. Are there suggestions or sample menus on how to get quickly back on track and get my GI track back to feeling better?

Yes, there are several threads on here with samples of what to eat.

First of all, it is best to stick to whole foods like meat, poultry, vegetables, fruits and nuts. If your system is too bad, you might have trouble with digesting raw vegetables for a while but that should be temporary.

What's for Breakfast?

What's for Lunch?

What's for Dinner?

What's for Dessert?

These are threads that have been running here for a while and are very popular and help give people ideas of what to eat. You can just type them in the Search bar and they will pop up with lots of suggestions.

Welcome back to your gluten free Life!

You should be feeling so much better really soon.

Remember some people cannot handle dairy in the initial stages of healing...just in case you use dairy and find yourself still sick. Hope you feel better soon.

      Have you tried a diet with a lower carb, higher fat content, something similar to the Keto diet? Are you familiar with the ketogenic diet? Fat satisfies and so curbs hunger and levels out blood sugar.

      I've was diagnosed celiac over 10 years ago when in mid 50s. For a long time I have been getting headaches at night and in the morning and I suffer a lot of insomnia. The headaches can be very severe and sometimes develop into a full migraine but other times they wear off within an hour of getting up and eating breakfast. I have self diagnosed this a hypoglycaemia...

      False reading as of right now

      But that's the point Scott is trying to make. It is up to you. You do not have to go forward with another biopsy simply because your doctor wants you to. They work for you, not the other way around.

      gluten-free supplements in Canada

      Hi Kate, I am unsure if this is helpful or not. I have Webber calcium citrate everyday. I also react to less than 20 ppm of gluten. I have not reacted to Webber ever. (Fingers crossed it stays that way). Also, I get my blood tested every 6 months to ensure I have zero gluten exposure. It consistently comes back negative(0) to gluten. A few...

      False reading as of right now

      Honestly that's a good question, but I would like an official answer since I'm not a professional and my doctor's in my opinion no offense to them I'd say gone about it in a unprofessional way unless other's have been told to go gluten free, get a biopsy, just to go back gluten due to a possible false reading and then gotta go back for another biopsy But...

      I've was diagnosed celiac over 10 years ago when in mid 50s.  For a long time I have been getting headaches at night and in the morning and I suffer a lot of insomnia.  The headaches can be very severe and sometimes develop into a full migraine but other times they wear off within an hour of getting up and eating breakfast.  I have self diagnosed this a hypoglycaemia.  The medical profession in UK, where I live, does not seem to know anything of this and simply tests me for diabetes, which I do not have.  I know this condition is diet related and caused by carbohydrates, I avoid eating in the evenings.  Whatever I do, this condition seems to be getting worse and is very difficult to control.  Any advice would be much appreciated.
