  1. Ali, you are so helpful, thank you. Fiber and carbs always have caused me major C, bloating, fatigue. I love your point about different people being out of balance in different ways and I think that may be my issue with magnesium for whatever reason. Right now, all I am eating is meat and I had some boiled carrots today and feel fine. Colonics are 150usd...
  2. I am going through something very similar right now. the celiac went undiagnosed for so long, my hormones are completely out of whack (thats another story) and my diet is VERY limited right now, just meat and oil. I have no job, no money, no insurance, and cannot find a job. I cannot sleep. I fall asleep but wake up like 1.5 hours later. Depending on how...
  3. Thanks for replying! I was beginning to think I was crazy. No one ever believes me and when I eat fiber rich foods, I almost die.. and I drink 3 liters of water a day so it is not that. I fear miralax may cause me issues, but I will try it with caution! Interesting about cherry juice too, thanks for the tips both of you
  4. I just wanted to add that the same thing happens to me but has cleared up when am gluten free, I am keeping my fingers crossed.
  5. I am not on any medications and have never taken anything long term. The last anti-biotic I had was over 8 years ago. I am not sure about the magnesium thing.. things that give other people a BM constipate me. When my diet is very low carb or just ALL protein and fat, no bubbles, nothing. I am 24 and this has been going on my entire life. The gut is strange...
  6. Hello, Thank you for your detailed response. I have never been tested for any parasites.. I do not have insurance right now and am being seen at a research hospital for free. It has been a LONG process. I love low white blood cells and a high mch.. they asked, do you drink alcohol? I've never had a drink in my life, ever for various reasons. I def. believe...
  7. I've decided to formally start the diet. I ordered the book as well. Right now I am seeing 4 different doctors at a major research hospital here in the US.. even they are having issues with me! I do have celiac.. all my stomach issues are on my lower right side of my stomach. Whenever I eat fruits/veg/carbs I get bubbles in my stomach. Like when you press...
  8. lol, some women crave chocolate I get non-food items!
  9. I never dream either. And everyone tells me I am but I don't remember. I used to dream as a kid, but it disappeared in my late teens. Maybe in the past 8 years I've had 5 dreams, if that.
  10. Here is my problem: I have no problem falling asleep, but I always wake up 45 min-1.5 hours later and eat, even if I am not really hungry. I've tried eating, not eating, everything and this always happens. It has been going on for about 2 years. Has anyone dealt with this before?? I am a celiac and have been off wheat/gluten but crave these very items (and...
  11. So far, the only cottage cheese I have found without all the weird food starches, soy lecthin, etc would be daisy or friendship. I wish I could find an organic one.
  12. No, you are not too young. I am 24, was diagnosed at 23 with levels similar to yours. I have celiac and have had amenorrhea for almost 8 years. I have a very hard time building muscle/I lose muscle/weight very quickly, anyone have that problem?
  13. Hello, thank you all so much for your replies. It means a lot I do eat a lot of salt. I mean, sometimes I wake up at night and eat it from the jar.. I liberally salt my food. My vitamin D is low, with a ref range of 34 I am 10. My iron was not low from what I recall, but at the time (a year ago when it was tested), I was taking a supplement. Here are...
  14. Hello all, I have some questions about anemia or related disorders. On Thursday, I had to get my blood drawn throughout the course of 2 hours (a hormone test, another issue). I would not say it was a lot of blood really, every half hour about 3 vials. Anyways, my blood flows very slowly.. I always have very low blood pressure, dizzy, bruises all over my...
  15. I live in southgate! hello all
  16. I have a very strange reaction to fiber (most especially inulin/fos) and almost ALL carbs in general. I get very bloated (I look like I am pregnant..), retain a lot of fluid, get bubbles in my stomach (lower right side), joint pain, and very lethargic. Additionally, it makes me extremely constipated, for days. My worst offending foods are all fruits, especially...
  17. I cannot eat nuts or corn; eggs very, very rarely. I know how frusterating it is, especially when I feel like I have things figured out, something else happens and I get a strange reaction to a safe food. I hate the bloat and fluid retention, it makes me feel so gross. Hope you figure it out..
  18. My naturopath basically said the same thing to me.. I have many symptoms of hypothyroid as well and it does run in my family, as does chrons and digestive disorders in general.
  19. Thanks! After years of misery, it is confirmed that I have celiac genes and gluten intolerence if that makes sense.. my ND found this out. I get histamine from many types of fish. As for nuts, I get a racing pulse and horrid cravings as well as marks on my body. However, I will say fructose and beans cause me more misery than anything, horrid gas, fluid retention...
  20. I have the same reaction.. I love hummus, but I get extreme bloating, gas, and C, as well as some wicked fluid retention.
  21. hello! I hope you do not mind me "joining in". Thank you so much for this information; I have read and learned SO much! My whole life (I am 23) I have suffered from major C, bloating, strange food reactions, everything and NO ONE has ever understood or they think I am making it up or it is all in my head. I have bad C, and contrary to what most people believe...
