What, Oh What, Am I Doing Wrong?

[Mabc]

Hi all,

After being gluten-free for about a month,

I think I may have been glutened a week ago because I had to go out of town and eat at a restaurant. I tried really hard to pick non-G food. I developed really bad hemorrhoids, what seemed to me to be mild C, and having a hard time getting over those. It is taking so long that I'm wondering if I'm missing something in my diet.

Bread was a big staple for me before and now I've switched to corn. I'm eating veggies and fruits and nuts and mostly non-processed foods (oh, and I eat dairy too). Is it possible I need more fiber? Or does it take this long to get over being glutened? I quit taking vitamins because I don't know if mine are gluten free - could that affect it? Overall I'm feeling much better but this seems to be my body telling me I'm doing something wrong. Any advice would really help.

A lot of people are sensitive to corn and dairy. You could try getting off them for a couple weeks, then challenge to see if you are sensitive.

I agree

dairy does give me C (which aggrivates my hemmorhoids).

your body could still be adjusting to the change. but finding gluten-free vitamins would be good (many are), since your body is used to them.
