It definitely makes you feel "lighter" if that makes sense. I didnt feel weighed down like I did after eating a bowl of brown rice or rice pasta. I hope it works for you! Let us know how you're doing and if it helps!!!

After another horrible day yesterday, and a rough start today, I am officially paleo/primal! I'll keep you all posted, I truly hope this is the answer for me and my body. :)

I have a feeling that it's going to make you feel a whole lot better - you just seem to hear/feel your body telling you "Ok, THIS is what I wanted all along!!" Remember to put butter on everything!!! (Thats the most fun part for me) - I'll add you as a friend and let me (and the rest of us) know how you're doing!!! I give it three days and you'll be back on here with a new outlook on life.... :)

I sure hope so!! Butter...that makes me laugh, as I have never put butter on anything! Maybe I'll try it!! :) I am also going to call my doctor today to make sure there isn't something else they should test me for...better safe than sorry! Thank you for the encouragement, looking forward to this! Day 2, here I come!! :P

Yes! Butter your steak too!

haha!

The only thing I don't put butter on is bacon.

Bacon needs no help. :D

Too funny!! I've made it (almost) through 2 days...my only complaint is I constantly feel hungry, and have low energy (which unfortunately is nothing new)...perhaps tomorrow will be better!

From my understanding you can eat as much as you want on the primal diet - a handful of nuts (cashews, pistachios) will fill me up and hold me over for a while. I always keep cheese, pumpkin seeds, beef jerky, and apple slices with me too when I'm at work. How much are you eating? Do you think you're not eating enough since you are still healing from your not-so-good couple of days last week?

I feel like I eat ALL day!! :P I'm a big snacker, so I find myself munching non-stop, on something! I brought more chicken for lunch today in hopes that it fills me up longer than what I had yesterday. I also had horrible stomach aches and D yesterady morning so that didn't help feeling so hungry. I'm giving up cheese for a while to see if that is a culprit in the bad days...I'm hoping not, as I could live on the stuff. Today will be better!! :D

I'm doing it too :) Really no other way to eat and once goal weight is reached it's an 80/20 deal. Raw milk is illegal here in Ohio too but we have raw milk cheese and as long as it's grass fed that's what I get. I buy pasteurized but Non homogonized grass fed milk. It tastes no different and is much better for you. Some people use some dairy and a lot use none. I think it's individual.

I do crave chips and tortillas though...the rest is easy, because it's how I would normally eat anyway! I don't drink much milk so that's no loss...just the cheese. After I get adjusted to this and see what the results are, I'll throw cheese back in - maybe even try to find a "raw" healthier brand!

      I'm not delaying my recovery- I was well on my way to recovering, IF I do have celiac disease by listening to my body and not eating the foods that made me feel ill. the drug I just stopped taking was making me incredibly ill and it's unfortunate and more than  a little frustrating that the dr

      Click on the image to make it larger.  Maybe doesn't work on phone browser,  That was from 2021. Absolutely, they should be tested, The point is you have symptoms that the doctors don't understand and malabsorption may be the cause.   Not trying to.  But much of your rant includes refeferences that may indicate multiple nutritional deficiencies.     Some countries also have tax incentives and financial aid for Celiacs.   Celiac disease is recognized as a disability under the ADA because it substantially limits major life activities like eating and digestive function. Protections require reasonable accommodations in public accommodations, including schools (504 plans), colleges, and hospitals. These often include providing safe, gluten-free food, though they do not force restaurants to provide it.  As far as your recovery, eat gluten free.  Get healthier now and worry about diagnosis later.  Many here on the forum have gone ten or more years looking for a diagnosis, with many doctors and many misdiagnosis along the way. It really doesn't matter why, but you cannot eat  gluten.  That is what is important.  With gluten out of the way, maybe the doctors can make sense of your remaining symptoms.  If you need the ADA, then a medical diagnosis is the way to go.  Meantime you are delaying your recovery from whichever celiac disease or NCGS and the inevitable step one of Gluten Free Diet. tWe come to share experiences and maybe it will help someone. In reality, I don't care.  By the way I have stopped 6 medications Against Medical Advice because they did not do their job and the side effects were crippling. This is a lifelong fight for your life.  Pick you battles carefully.  Assume the worst, celiac disease, and deal with it.  Denial is not just a river in Egypt. Pleased to meet you, too.
