    I do know that my diarrhoea and feeling ill get worse when I eat gluten or bread and some cereals so I took those out first. There was some improvement but not enough. Then I found it was getting worse with corn so I took all grains out at that point. Things seemed to get a bit better and I thought I had cracked it. Then things started to slide...

    Hi, despite taking gluten and grains out I am still getting stomach problems. I can no longer tolerate either the fatigue (or rather malaise) and running to the toilet 10 times plus a day. I am desperate and want to try a complete elimination diet but I am having trouble finding a clear list of allowed foods during the elimination phase. Can some one help...

    To me the highs are similar to a sugar rush with brain fog, dizziness and fatigue lol. Scatty brain time. That hits before the diarrhoea. It's not very nice lol.
  4. Fairy Dancer
    I hate highs lol. I prefer naturally induced contentment.

    I shop from the fresh foods aisles and pass on the processed foods, as the former don't usually contain gluten.

    I see nothing wrong with trying out a gluten free diet if that's what they want to do but they should be warned that it won't necessarily help them lose weight (it can still be high calorie, high fat and high carb). I am not diagnosed as celiac but as I was getting various health problems and as celiac disease is in the family I decided to try a gluten...

    Id blame the corn lol

    Try the Paleo diet if you can and eliminate grains (all of them!), dairy, and legumes (including soy as it comes from a legume). Avoid heavily processed foods as well. The basic rule of thumb is if you can't hunt it or pick it in the wild...don't eat it! If it is something you could hunt or gather because its a natural food...go for it! Have you tried...

    I had some coconut milk earlier and after eating I had stomach pain, acid reflux and wheezing. It has the following ingredients...Can anyone tell me anything about them as my gut was not hurting before I had some lol. Coconut extract (obvious ingredient lol) Water (another obvious one lol) Guar Gum Xantham gum Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose Distilled...

    Not long ago I did ask my dr for blood tests for a number of things about a month and half after I took gluten/grains out of my diet but all tests came back as normal including the one for celiac. I have never had a biopsy though for anything. 8 or so years ago I went to my drs complaining of fatigue, feeling ill, stomach pain, acid reflux, diarrhoea, headaches...

    Hi I went gluten and grain free (except white rice) about 3 months back. At first I saw an improvement but then, as I pulled in new foods to replace the grains I had taken out, I started to feel ill again with the same old symptoms...ie stomach pain, diarrhoea, dizziness regardless of whether I ate grains or not. As a trial I pulled dairy out of my...

    Ok on Saturday I decided to be bad and eat a turkey Sandwich. I am not officially diagnosed with celiac disease but decided to try a gluten free diet anyway as I was a getting rather a lot of symptoms and I have a brother with it. I did have an improvement in symptoms after going gluten free, but I thought I might get away with just one sarnie lol. I did...

    I seem to be ok with fructose as far as I can tell. I also tend to avoid rice as it is a grain. I am doing a slightly different diet to just a gluten free one as I am trying a modified version of the paleo diet (that includes carbs and a limited amount of dairy). The full paleo diet is basically no processed foods, no grains, no dairy and no legumes. ...

    I just play it safe and avoid all grains. I get my carbs from startchy vegetables etc instead (ie potatoes, butternut squash, parsnips). The rest of my diet is made up of meat, some fish (if it is low mercury) fruit, vegetables and nuts. I also consume dairy as I seem to be ok with that as long as I don't over do it.
  16. Fairy Dancer
    Parsnips and butter nut squash have carbohydrates if you can eat them.

    I used to but corn products upset me and I hate drinking aspartame so won't opt for diet versions. I drink mostly black coffee, mineral water, water with lemon or lime juice (freshly squeezed), occasionally fruit juice and more frequently fruit smoothies (they have more fibre than juice alone). I used to drink milky coffee but I am trying to cut down...

    I went grain and gluten free and saw improvements. 3 months later though I now find that my diet has become dairy heavy and I am starting to get stomach aches again. I originally thought I had no problems with dairy but now I am wondering if I do as the symptoms are worse at times when I have consumed a lot of dairy produce. I seem to be ok with small amounts...

    Gliadin is a type of gluten. Gluten is a collective name for certain proteins found in grains. Gliadin is wheat gluten, secalin is rye gluten and hordein is Barley gluten, as far as I am aware.

    Fairy Dancer posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    HI About 3 or so months ago I eliminated grains and gluten from my diet and have slowly started to feel much better. However now I am noticing that whenever I consume a lot of dairy produce I feel unwell again. Has anyone else found that, some months down the line, they have also had the same problem and is it worth taking dairy out of my diet also? ...

    I was fairly strict although at the beginning I did ease into it and there were a few accidental glutenings. But as I live alone and needed some new kitchen pans etc anyway it wasn't too hard to make the switch over. In the space of 3 or so months I have gone from hardly being able to get out of bed most days to having good energy levels. The vertigo...

    I tested negative on the one test for celiac disease that I had, which my dr agreed to do because I have a brother who is diagnosed with it (I have never had genetic testing done though) but have found that my symptoms have gradually improved on a gluten free diet anyway. In the beginning improvement was very slow partly, I think, because I found out later...
  23. Fairy Dancer
    No as usual my drs are not going to investigate further. I just get left with the anxiety, depression and IBS diagnosis, which is what they blamed the fatigue, dizziness/vertigo and stomach issues etc on. Other than routine blood tests I have never had any further tests for anything lol. Oddly antidepressants and therapy have never helped. But changing...

    I am in the uk. I had one test done as part of a routine blood panel (he added the one test for celiac because I have a brother with it and I asked for it). It only took a few days to come back but although it came back negative I am not totally convinced it was accurate due to the success I have had on a gluten free diet. Nearly 3 months and many of my health...
