How I'm I Suposed To Know What To Cut Out If I React To Anything?

I honestly have no clue anymore, one day I eat a type of  food and I'm ok then the next I get symptoms.

 

I though I was doing good with a rice mix with sweet potatoes red pepper,celery,salad and chicken well nope. Now I get bloated from all over my intestine (colon,liver,intestine) I been having this food for a whole week, and another week or 2 prior to that with just salad, rice, chicken and sweet potatoes (only recently added the celery and pepper). And every time I felt good until now.

 

Yesterday I had chicken in olive oil and felt my stomach being acidic.

 

If my colon react 2 or 3 hours after eating that food is it something I ate before? Crap I just dont know anymore and this is so frustration. I feel like im gonna have to try ONE single thing like eating sweet potatoes wait 5hours then eat celeri wait another 5, it's THAT freaking bad.

 

I never though eating could become so mentally challenging even more then physically.

 

Some stuff will give instant reaction then some will give reaction many hours later, how the hell do I know what is safe? It honestly seem like the ONLY thing that i dont react to is almonds or some frozen fruits and eggs, which i bet you won't last.

 

I had no constipation or bloating on my heavy gluten-free diet just no energy, consisting of cereal,bread and rice noodle, now that I added VEGGIES i feel like s$#& AND no energy.

It can be very hard.  You need to figure out how long it takes you to have a reaction.  My son and I are both celiac.  It takes him two days to notice a reaction and I usually notice the next morning.  Then it can be anything I ate the day before.  I keep track with a food/symptom journal.  I keep my diet simple and try to only add one new thing per week.  When I am reacting I keep eliminating and hoping for an improvement.  I usually show an improvement by the next day and again, it takes my son a couple of days.  It helps that we can compare with each other.  It helps to check with manufacturers for some change, for shared facilities, etc.  I also talk with my farmers at the market about their farming practices.  I use that information to decide which things to eliminate first.  It can be really challenging, but worth every bit of it when you finally succeed.  My son is now running when before he couldn't walk around the block without feeling sick.

      Yes, though histamine itself may not taste salty, histamine is present in mucus and tears which contain sodium chloride because salt is a great antimicrobial.

      I was just reading about Miracle Whip on the forum here.  I, too, have a reaction to modified food starch, even if something is labeled gluten free.  I was Googling about it, and apparently it can be inflammatory because of the method of manufacturing, not just whether or not it has wheat in it.  I DO NOT eat anything with maltodextrin in it, either, even if labeled gluten free.  It can be made from wheat or corn, apparently, but you can't always tell.  Gets me every time, and also now becoming aware of the modified food starch.  I am getting worse the older I get. I am 64 now -- this gluten reaction started in me when I was 57 or so.  Started slowly, but after starting to track my food intake... became painfully obvious.  I always loved bread, all kinds.  I could eat anything.  Not anymore.  Wheat thins gave me a blow-out.  Didn't want to believe it.  Tried again...OMG.  Serious blow-out while I was out walking at a park--people all over the place.  I didn't know until I went in the restroom.  OMG.  Wheat thins have wheat, obviously, and also barley malt syrup or flour or something.  A double WHAMMY.  Then I knew.  No more gluten!  And it's so challenging to do that.  Also, I probably have microscopic colitis.  No more NSAIDS, muscle relaxants, Celebrex (celecoxib), SSRI's, caramel color, maltodextrin, modified food starch, vitamins with that whitener chemical, and many other pills.  Doctors always said to increase fiber intake!  Take Metamucil!  OMG it has maltodextrin in it.  Back before I knew to avoid it.  Take anything your "provider" says with a grain of salt.  You know your body better than anyone else.

      After looking at Google images, the spleen is on the upper left abdomen, too!  An organ, part of the lymphatic system for immune function.  A filter.  Wonder how this relates to gluten sensitivity?

      Hey, mistake in my post,  pancreas TAIL is on the left side.  Head is middle back of belly,

      Hello, everyone, This upper left side pain is interesting to me.  I have this same pain almost all the time.  Started 2009 when I got diverticulitis for the first time.  Then had left ovarian cyst removed and a diagnosis of endometriosis all over inside.  Been attempting gluten-free since 2018.  It's not perfect, but still have that left sided pain.  Like up under the rib cage.  I believe the pancreas head is on that side, so I often wonder if I have a tumor or something there.  But it could also be an endometriosis adhesion in my belly.  I never got scraped.
