Paleo/primal

I did not initially look into this, it just turned out that how I was eating was called Primal.  The only difference between the two is that IF you are able to consume dairy products, primal is fine with it and some chocolate and/or wine here and there. They both eschew grains.  The only grain I CAN eat seemingly safely (without getting very sick) seems to be white rice.  I experimented with corn a few weeks ago and it was still a no go.  What I love is that I can still make (and even buy) grain free breads and make wonderful "pastas" that a so much more healthy anyway. I do not have a choice in skipping the pre made foods but I think I will probably not go back to it even if/when I am healed enough to handle corn anyway.  I just wont be so petrified to eat out! 

 

here is a great Primal resource and I have gone through all of the books too.  Its a full lifestyle change from food to exercise but I mostly just deal with the food portion. I feel so much better and mroe alive now that I may begin some sort of physical training though!

There are tons of Paleo places to visit too. These two things are surely very fad controlled but GREAT for people who cannot tolerate gluten nor corn nor any other grains.

 

 

I will have to dig up the websites to learn how to make a lot of types of noodles with the spiralizer (I LOVE THAT THING) as well as places like Against All Grain Open Original Shared Link

 

I am so..haha..."skilled" at making things Paleo/Primal now that I even enjoy The Pioneer Woman and the ease with which her recipes are adaptable. :D

That's great! 

 

I am happy for you that you are making it work :) 

 

My daughter and I have candida

and so we have to eat Paleo style as well as gluten-free (or mostly gluten-free) diet, combined.

 

It does get tricky (and the kind of meat we can afford is limited) to merge the two, when on a fixed income. 

 

 

Thanks for sharing.

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors.  Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps.  I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage (back strain); I had been sitting down in a car for too long and wearing a tight belt (I have pudendal nerve issues and sacroiliac issues and this exacerbates the pain), and I had bloating and burning pain in my colon caused by eating too much soy, latte and caffeine, I guess putting further pressure in the lower abdomen.  I had this same pain prior to my diagnosis and a couple of years post-diagnosis, I'd quite forgotten how unpleasant it was.

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon.  Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in May (finally got some insurance) and I'm going to bring it up then. I'm feeling really hopeful and excited to maybe be getting some relief soon.   Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and positive thoughts!

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:
