Fasting

hi guys,

has anyone ever tried fasting to get a really haywire system under control? I've just felt terrible all week, keep doing really dumb things with cc (the peanut butter jar, a frying pan, a really dumb choice to eat a salad w/friend at Panara). and i keep finding the only way to stay brain fog free in the morning is to --not eat. bad i know, but i have to do it sometimes to get some work done (i write freelance stories). i was thinking of drinking only vegetable juice for a few days and seeing how that goes, because everytime i eat anything i get dizzy. except cofee. have you guys ever tried anything similar?

at first i was so much better gluten-free, but now i'm feeling bad again.

thanks,

Sara

Hi Sara,

I've never tried fasting, but I feel the same way you do. Right now the last thing I want to do is eat anything. I had been doing seemingly well on the gluten-free diet, but lately I've been so miserable. I can't seem to eat anything without feeling sick. Yesterday I had the worst day since I've been diagnosed (~2.5 years ago). I'd be interested to see if anyone has any input on fasting to kind of clear out the system and let it settle down.

Also, what others have suggested to me elsewhere here is to try an elimination diet, like the "caveman" or Paleo diet. I just ordered the Paleo Diet book this morning. Basically, you eat fruits, veggies, meats, seafood... no grains, legumes, dairy, soy, processed sugars, starchy/root veggies. I'm going to give it a try.

Good luck

Fasting is a part of my life.

Whenever I know I am going somewhere, the day before I have to fast. That way, there is nothing left in my system. Unfortunately, it doesn't do alot of good when you have a totally empty stomach and feel like you are going to pass out, but at least I can go out and actually make it to the bathroom in time. Usually, I only have about a 10 second window to get to the bathroom, but at least when I fast for 24 hours before, the "explosive nature" of my diarrhea settles down enough for me to go out temporarily for an outing.....

Hi, when i start feeling bad i fast for 2-3 days and only drink fruit juice and eat jello...and on the third day i'm like a brand new woman again:) Also, i see a holistic doctor from nigeria and he has helped me more than any GI doctor has!! He currently has me doing a detoxifing kit (no drugs...just all natural supplements that your GI tract/system needs...like the good bacteria)

I can never not eat for more than a couple of hours or i get really sick, not sure why but it just makes me feel absolutely horrible and i cant stand it, i try not to eat when i get gluten but then i usually pass out so that is not a choice.

it works for some people but not for others...

      I did a gluten challenge. I ate bread yesterday. I immediately felt horrid. Depressed, fearful, angry.  I also had the weirdest night terrors and "day terrors" (delusions). They were do awful, that I am still terrified. How do gluten impact your dreams?

      Thanks so much for replying!  No I haven't been limiting gluten prior to this test, I didn't know the Dr even tested for it until I got my results. These were the only celiac related pathology that was tested for. I am seeing my Dr on Monday so hopefully she can shed some more light!

      New here as well lots of things learning I’ve discovered lots of foods have sneaky gluten so be mindful how is it going?? I have issues when I do cocktails 🍸 I don’t know if it is gluten free or not but get horrible side effects and so many others ooh well we are all learning how to cope with this….

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.
