Still Feeling Awful! :(

I've been gluten free for two days, and I'm still feeling AWFUL! I don't know what to do. I'm sitting here right now (just ate) with a racing heartbeat, and nausea/stomach problems. Here's what I've eaten so far today:

For breakfast:

Tiny half of jimmy dean sausage

1 egg

Some hashbrowns

peanut butter Envirokids Bar (Gluten free)

Orange Juicebox

Mixed fruuit juice

(everything was gluten free as far as I know)

For Lunch:

steak and red peppers

grape juice and starburst

(also gluten-free as far as I know)

Is normal to still feel icky after the first few day? I was told you should feel at least a difference the first few days, but I almost feel worse!

I am sorry you are still feeling ill. I am new at this too. For me, I am very sugar sensitive and that much fruit juice would definitely make me very nauseated and jittery. Maybe try something without so much sugar. Is gatoraide gluten-free? I drink alot of sparkling waters flavored with lemon or lime.

I hope you feel better soon!

You'll feel ill for quite a while after going on the gluten-free diet....it doesn't just go away overnight, so yes, it is normal

Thanks for your replies! I'll skip the juice for a few days (I think I'll stick to sparkling water!). I can't see how you couldn't feel just a little weird when first going gluten-free. That's a pretty big change after eating gluten for so many years. I'll just keep at it! :)

I could tell a difference after going gluten-free within about 3 days, I wasn't 100% better but noticed the abdominal pain was gone. Hang in there, sounds like you are doing great!

HappyCat22,

In the beginning I had problems with any thing greasy or other wise

high in fat. Even now I couldn't handle hashbrowns, eggs, or juice.

My stomach is healing and I also have acid reflux. I try to follow

the IBS guidelines, ie start the day with soluble foods, applesauce,

bananas and rice cereal. I always start my meals with a soluble

fiber food, potatoes, rice etc. and gradually eat protein which

is lo in fat, tuna, salmon, white chicken, and drink water. I have

been doing this for 6 mos. and it works for me. The racing

heart usually meant that my acid reflux was not liking what I just

ate. I also take a fiber pill before I eat. Never start the day without

soluble fiber. :rolleyes:

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By Bebygirl01 · Posted

      Perhaps you would still like to answer the questions I posed on this topic, because that is all I asked. I am curious to know the answers to those questions, I do not care about the background of Dr. Osborne as I am more aware of the situation than you are, and he is also one of the best known authors out there on Celiac disease. But did you even bother to read the three Research Papers I posted by NIH? You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant and not yet reacting to all glutens aka grains, but I AM one of those who react to ALL the glutens, and again, that is one of the two questions I originally posted on this matter. NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing. I started with the failed FDA explanation of what Gluten Free is and I stayed sick and got even sicker. It wasn't until I came across NIH's papers and went off all grains that I realized that in fact, I am Celiac and reacting to all the glutens. IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. Those who are just getting started with learning about grains etc., can take it easy by just being "grain free' and eating a lot of meat, vegetables, etc. or whole foods as God has intended, without buying so called gluten free garbage out there that is making them sick and the whole reason they are not better. I tried the stupid gluten free garbage and it didn't work, and that will make anyone want to give up, it is better to teach the entire truth and let the patient decide, rather than give them misinformation and lies.

      Celiac pain relief

      By Karmmacalling · Posted

      I was born with celiac disease im 20 years old. And I've been gluten free my whole life. Yes my diet is 100 percent gluten free and no i don't eat at restaurants at all. I got glutened by a chips that was marked as gluten free but it wasn't the company said the packaging was old and the recipe was new.

      Welcome to the forum, the biggest source of cross-contamination would be eating our in restaurants--even ones that have a gluten-free menu. If your son was just recently diagnosed I'd recommend trying not to eat out during his healing period, which could last up to a year or more, depending on how much villi damage he had.
