Update: (can’t edit my posts on my phone for some reason) anyhow started eating and that’s when things started going downhill. Feeling tired and had low blood pressure. So far I’ve eaten:

eggs, more coffee (this time with sugar and cream), avocado, an apple (shortly after this is when things began to go downhill), also hat oats and Greek yogurt

Update: So felt good overall today except for that brief dizzy spell earlier after I ate the apple. Continues without any vitamins or supplements and felt quite incredible at times while feeling a bit bad at others. Very strange. I can only guess but I did eat some beer lover today (a natural multivitamin) so maybe that helped me. Face still red but not as bad as yesterday. Will continue tomorrow without supplier or vitamins to see if the good feeling continues

Update: Very exciting time today. First off, I was up drinking coffee till 1:30am this morning and got up to go to work at 5:30am and felt AMAZING all day!

slight drowsiness but nothing crazy, and overall I have this feeling of improving health. I also noticed some increased strength. 
 

SO my theory is that my intestines may FINALLY be healing but also that perhaps those vitamins were doing more harm than good. No other explanation 🏧

The reaction after the apple makes me think of food allergies. Have you been evaluated for allergies? It's even possible to be allergic to wheat, which immunologically isn't the same as being gluten intolerant, though treatment for both involves avoiding wheat.

For carbs (thinking of your original post) have you thought of gluten free pasta? Pasta dishes can be quite rich in calories, but maybe not as healthy as what you normally have. 

With food allergies, some people tolerate what they are allergic to if it's  cooked. So people may react to raw apples but not necessarily to apple pie.

I’ve never been tested for allergies but I seem to react negatively to almost everything. These brief moments of feeling amazing are anomalous tho.

for carbs I tried rice pasta before but not a fan. Nothing makes me feel as good as bread or pizza it’s weird

Thanks I’ll have to try. I’m just dying here and I’m eating so much food it’s ridiculous. Has anyone tried those pills I see advertised on here that supposedly destroy the gluten in your stomach?

Update: Interesting occurrences today.

 

I had my normal breakfast (Sweet potatoes, Black Beans, Beef, Eggs, Coffee) also took a Fenugreek supplement.

everything was normal and I was feeling like sh!t.

 

at lunch I had to get fast food. I got a burger (wrapped in lettuce so no bun). It had: Beef patty, Tomato, Mayo, ketchup, mustard, bacon, cheese. Also had fries and coffee with it. 
 

began to feel much better and stronger throughout the afternoon.

so my thinking as of now is that my normal food is making me ill in some way so I’m gonna try and eat more like the fast food (healthy grocery store options) and see how I feel. I just have no ideas but the facts are facts and despite what “should be”, my body is obviously telling me what it prefers.

Update: Felt REALLY good today. Didn’t use any supplements, vitamins, nor coffee.

breakfast: Sweet potatoes, black beans, grass fed beef (is this the X factor?)

snacks throughout day: 3 gluten free sandwiches with coconut oil, peanut butter, and whey protein

Lunch: Mars bar, Sweet potatoes, black beans, grass fed beef.

so yeah, interesting day. I’m noticing I didn’t eat eggs today like normal and the beef was grass fed unlike normal so maybe those two changes contributed.

Update: Felt amazing today. Like my mind was waking up beyond Simple survival

I went to my grandmas for Easter and had food there I don’t normally have so I assume that may be part of it.

I ate marshmallow ambrosia fruit cup salad thingy (don’t know the real name), tomatoes, Turkey, cashews, popcorn, peppermint and cranberries

Could it be eggs you're sensitive to?

It could be but I didn’t have eggs today either and generally felt like all the food I was eating literally did nothing for me.

 

in fact, I was gonna make a post about that. Here’s the deal: it feels like I’m eating food and I get no effect whatsoever. I still feel hungry and I don’t feel energy or anything. It’s like I haven’t eaten at all yet I chow down big meals sometimes. Today I ate all the “good” foods: potatoes, pork, coconut oil, cottage cheese, sauerkraut, black beans, coffee, butter, cream, kefir, arugula, probiotics, potato chips, peanut butter and gluten free bread

Update: Felt like absolute garbage today. Woke up with no energy. Felt like I was gonna fall asleep at the wheel driving into work. No energy at work. Ate all my food I packed for lunch on my first break. Bought fast food (lettuce wrapped burger, fries and coffee) for lunch which seemed to help a little. Slowly got better throughout the day. I think sugar is the only thing propping up my energy at this point. Almost like my body doesn’t get energy from normal food. Except bread definitely gives me energy like I’ve mentioned before but I’m nearly 2 months without gluten now. Feel like I’m dying some days like today.

Update: more of the same. Eating super healthy is such bs because obviously it isn’t helping. 
I’ve started eating a Mara bar at work. I don’t know what else to do. It’s not healthy but I’m sure I will die if I don’t find a way to get energy.

 

here’s what I ate today minus the mars bar, I just want to show y’all how much food and how healthy I am eating:

Breakfast: Black beans, Sweet potatoes, pork loin, coconut oil, Milk and whey protein with half a cup coffee to drink.

 

linch: white potatoes, black beans, pork loin, coconut oil

Snack throughout day: 3 (yes, 3) gluten free sandwiches that have peanut butter, coconut oil, and whey protein powder on them. My food tracker says it’s 600 calories and 30g protein EACH!

 

so yeah, don’t know how I’m always tired and drained for energy. I eat nothing but “healthy” food and the only way I ever have energy is if I eat sugar or bread like back in the old days (pizza was a super good for me) so yeah, fight me, but my body is not responding to this “healthy” crap

For the lovers of peanuts and caramel, Snickers are thankfully gluten-free. Snickers are manufactured by Mars but please note that Mars Bars are not gluten-free

Update: Been taking Glycine and Vitamin B Complex and today felt SO tired and brain fog I was astounded and worried. My physical strength and stamina for my job was uncompromised tho so that was an interesting divergence.

Hi guys, hope you’re all doing well.

I’m 34 and am starting to feel like I can’t eat anything. Tried giving up gluten but I need carbs. I weigh 155lbs and am 6 feet tall. I don’t do anything but sit around and eat as much as I can but it seems like it’s never enough. Something doesn’t add up there. I eat really healthy (beef/pork, coconut oil, olive oil, oatmeal, beans, Greek yogurt, pineapple juice). 
 

problem is, too much oatmeal and I get hella constipated. Also I’m worried I will end up getting too much potassium what with all the beans and oatmeal.

any tips? I’ve never been diagnosed for celiac but I got off gluten years ago and I felt great so I’m assuming that is the answer. Problem is I’m always hungry now and oatmeal is giving me constipation so I need a better carb. I also want to avoid rice if at all possible. Thanks for the help :)

Thanks for posting, I make great chicken, just chicken legs and wrap each piece in a strip of bacon and bake also add salt and pepper, no cooking skill needed. 350 for about 45 minutes I do not know what that might be on oven temp if you are in the UK, It would be the same as  the oven temp to bake a cake. Also there are gluten-free rice based cake mixes, too bad are you irritated by rice? Hope the chicken wrapped in bacon helps.

Chicken is JUST chicken, there is no soy in a chicken leg or bacon. Best to you, I was not talking "nuggets".

And they feed cows wheat, yet it does not result in gluten in the cow's meat. Neither does feeding soy meal to chickens result in soy compounds in the chicken meat. That is a misconception. "You are what you eat" but you you don't turn into what you eat.

      It will not undo all of the healing.  If it did, diagnosis of celiac disease would be much easier!  To have enough damage to see on an endoscopy requires several weeks of gluten ingestion.

      HI, I am new to this and am still in 'repair' mode, which I know will take time. But I'm wondering if anyone knows what happens if you ingest gluten after you have made a lot of progress in repairing your villi. Does anyone know if you just have a short-term issue? Or does an accidental ingestion of gluten derail all the work you've done and set you back to square one? Thanks.

      Hydrolyzed wheat is wheat protein that has been broken down into smaller components through a chemical or enzymatic process called hydrolysis. This ingredient can be found in various products, including cosmetics, personal care items, and some food products. For people with celiac disease, hydrolyzed wheat is generally not safe to consume because it still contains gluten proteins, even in its broken-down form. Though hydrolysis reduces the size of these proteins, it doesn’t fully remove the components that trigger an autoimmune response in people with celiac disease. In food products, hydrolyzed wheat protein still poses a risk and should be avoided. With regard to the McDonald's French fries, the total amount of hydrolyzed wheat in the flavoring is small, and the amount that ends up in an order of fries is even smaller, and likely below 20ppm. McDonald’s states that the fries are gluten-free by ingredient and free from cross-contact with gluten-containing foods in their dedicated fryers. Third-party tests and statements by McDonald's confirm gluten levels are below the FDA threshold for gluten-free labeling (20 parts per million or less). So, while McDonald’s USA fries may be gluten-free based on testing, some people with celiac disease still approach them cautiously due to the past concerns and individual sensitivities.

      Here is an excerpt from this article: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC82695:   Studies have shown that various peptidases of fungal, plant, animal, or bacterial origin are able to hydrolyze gluten into harmless peptides. According to SDS‐PAGE pattern, proteolytic enzymes hydrolyze gliadins (Heredia‐Sandoval et al., 2016; Scherf et al., 2018; Socha et al., 2019; Wei et al., 2018, 2020). Bacterial peptidase (Krishnareddy & Green, 2017), fungal peptidase (Koning et al., 2005), and prolyl endopeptidases (PEPs) (Amador et al., 2019; Janssen et al., 2015; Kerpes et al., 2016; Mamo & Assefa, 2018) thoroughly degrade gliadin fractions to decrease gluten concentration and influence celiac disease. Aspergillus niger derived PEP (AN‐PEP) were assessed in clinical cases for their impact on modifying immune responses to gluten in celiac patients (Lähdeaho et al., 2014). Guerdrum and Bamforth (2012) reported that PEP addition in brewing technology decreased the prolamin and all of the identified immunopathogenic gluten epitopes in beer production (Akeroyd et al., 2016). On the contrary, many of the recent investigations which employed enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), mass spectrometry, and Western blot analysis reported that PEP did not thoroughly destroy the whole gluten proteins (Allred et al., 2017; Colgrave et al., 2017; Fiedler et al., 2018; Panda et al., 2015), which indicates that beers treated with PEP are not safe for celiac disease patients. Anecdotally, this excerpt supports what we hear from the celiac community on this forum with regard to "gluten free" hydrolyzed wheat products and that is that some still react to them while many don't.

      There aren't good studies that have been done on celiac disease remission, and I'm going from a distant memory of an older post here, but the longest remission that Dr. Stefano Guandalini from the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center has witnessed was ~10 years, then the symptoms of celiac disease and the damage came back. The real issue though, is that you still could increase your risk of various related diseases and disorders by eating gluten, but again, celiac disease remission has not been studies enough to know what health risks you might face.
