Well...it's Been A While, But I'm Miserable :(

Okay, so it's been a while since I've been on here...mostly because I have been feeling good until the past couple months...So, here is my story, and I'm hoping someone can help...I was diagnosed via blood work then biopsy in February 2013. I've been gluten free since biopsy...with the exception of accidental glistenings and CC. After approximately 2 months on the diet I began feeling AMAZING! I didn't know what to do with all the new energy! Then, I think I began getting a little too "comfortable". I began eating lots of junk really...chips (that were not listed as gluten-free even though no obvious ingredients indicated gluten), chocolate, candy...JUNK! I was also eating a ton of frozen steamer vegetables, which I later found out that that brand states "they can not guarantee that food was not cooked on same line as wheat products". I eat a LOT of baked potatoes (maybe I have a problem with those??) Anyway...I now have proclaimed to not eat ANYTHING unless it is says gluten-free on ingredients. But I still feel so bad. My energy level is virtually non-existent. And it's worse late afternoon/night but not sure why? My joints just ache so bad and the fog/depression set in at night too...Stomach problems aren't my main issue right now. I just need some strength and for my muscles and joints to feel better. I would love to hear anyone's story and to hear suggestions?? Like vitamins you take and love, etc?? I might add I have a 3 year old, 2 year old and 1 year old...I need a "pick me up".

When was the last time you were tested for deficiencies? What does your result panel look like? 

 

I would cut out that junk. At least for a few more months and then slowly introduce it as you know you can tolerate it. I know it sucks and you probably want to get back to a normal life as soon as possible but it's hard to say what could be causing you problems in all that junk. If you feel better off of it then it should probably go for now. I take a strong multi-vitamin with iron (pre-natal) but I wouldn't go taking anything unless you have a valid reason. Do you have a doc you see regularly? He can check your levels and tell you what you need or what you're missing. 

 

I hope you feel better and I know CC and glutenings suck. 

Take care, my friend.

Just  get  back on  tract, clean  wholesome  gluten-free  foods. And  stick to it....its okay  to  have  a few  snacks &  sweets  now &  then  as  a  treat  but it  isn't  good , only for  weight  gain  to  eat  these  type  of  foods  gluten free or  not...

Think  WILLPOWER.......

feel better  soon....

Hey I haven't been tested for deficiencies in approx 2 months, but I was still a little vitamin D deficient at that time...it's just so hard to pinpoint everything, which is so frustrating...and non-Celiacs just don't understand...I'm dealing with that too. I do have a doc I'm seeing...but I am his first celiac patient. Awesome! NE Mississippi is quite behind...

      Doctors and Celiac.com

      I showed one doctor I went to once because completely clueless of celiac disease and yes that one was connected to a well known hospital and she said oh thats just a bunch of people that think they are celiac coming together. I said um no they have doctors and knowledge behind what is being written. So bay area is Downplaying this site! SADLY

      I have increased my vitamin intake Vitamin B Complex plus 2 Thiamax, NeuroMag, Benfotiamine with breakfast. I continue reading and watching gluten free items that I eat. Breakfast is Bobs Redmill gluten-free oatmeal with Chobani zero sugar yogurt a banana and blueberries. Lunch since im at a deli gluten-free is hard to come by so I stick with turkey with gluten-free Promise bread. Dinner varies like gluten-free pasta, tacos, chicken, sausage, meat etc. rice or take out from gluten-free places. I have decided to stay away from gluten-free pizza as I feel I felt weird with it unless its store bought frozen. I am going to try to make my own gluten-free bread, Bagels. I have been good with baking gluten-free treats like cookies, muffins. Snacks if its not fruit, veggies I grab a protein bar or chocolate guilty pleasure reeses, hersheys, York PP. I am going to start to use my fitness pal app to track what I eat and note when I feel off to see if I can pinpoint if a trend of a certain gluten-free food is a culprit. I noticed once in a while I feel a little bloated, gassy that I think is from the pizza so I am going to avoid it and continue narrowing it down. I have been doing very well and I have learned even if you think you are doing everything 100% gluten-free eating it can sneak in without you knowing. This year is more traveling which im afraid of but have already looked into gluten-free places in Nashville which they have and back to Aruba I went last year and have the gluten-free places already selected. Most restaurants I have been to have been very helpful with what to stay away from to avoid CC. If a place states they don't have any gluten-free the I stick with a salad or when I took my kids to breakfast as much as I miss the breakfast this place serves I played it safe with yogurt and a fruit bowl so at least my kids were happy to go there again. Local farmers market has great gluten-free items that I treat myself to like different types of breads, baked goods. My journey continues...

Dr daid why don't I go see you guys because my blood shows zero for celiac. I told him im glutenfree since 1994 by colonoscopy with biopsy positive celiac sprue by GI.Its RIDICULOUS when im bringing in material from this site of knowledge as well as the autoimmune institute,and  there's zero interest on their part.Medical IS causing me depression.Im view as a disability chaser, IM STILL RECOVERING from being a bus driver that im still healing and having more issues, now I may have multiple sclerosis or meningioma. Ive reached out, wrote letters, NOT feeling well. This is inhumane.
