Certain Foods Upset You While Others Dont?

Hi! I've recently started a gluten free diet (day 6) and it seems that certain foods that are gluten free, still upset me and I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what I can and cannot eat. I had green beans the other day for dinner and wound up within 20 mins of eating with HORRIBLE pains and bloating and so I called the drs. office the next morning and spoke with a nurse and she said beans of all kinds are a big NO unless they are garbanzo beans. Is this true or is it just possible that I have a reaction to other foods besides gluten.

Also, I tried eating dairy again, since I always thought that that was the problem, until I tried the gluten free diet and wanted to see how I felt. I can eat cheese, but I tried eggs this morning and I was a mess again. Does this happen alot to others? Where certain dairy products are ok, but others arent?

Thanks for all your help!!

Six days is a relatively short time to feel a change. It took a long time for the damage to be done, so too, it will take some time to heal.

It took me about six months to learn the diet, make sure that there were no mistakes and to learn to read labels. At that point, I started to feel better. It took the Brain Fog about a year and a half to subside and still not 100%.

I would recommend that you stick to simple foods for the time being. Meats, Seafood, Rice, Potatoes, Steamed Veggies and Fruits. Stay about from processed foods for a while.

Don't forget to check you cosmetics, lipsticks, lotions, shampoos....anything that can get into your mouth.

I am sure you will feel better soon. We've all been there.

Yep, hang in there. I had some seemingly random reactions too. You'll get through them.

Thanks for the advice! I definately will. I know its only been a couple days, but I already feel better knowing that I'm taking the right steps to help myself.

I've been gluten free for two weeks. I noticed a real change after 4 or 5 days but have had 2 days that were bad after eating dairy. Dairy was not a real problem before but I guess it is now. So that is normal? New things pop up randomly?

Hi Erica:

Personally I think it's a good idea to not reintroduce foods until your gut has had some time to heal.

My integrative med doc recommended I stay on the fruits/veggies/poultry/fish diet for 3 months, and then try to introduce one type of food a week, beginning with nuts/seeds, then legumes, then other proteins, etc.

I've been gluten free now for a month and have to say I've seen dramatic results. It's hard, tho!! One good thing about this stringent diet I'm on is that I've lost weight. :D

I figure I'm learning good eating habits and will most likely need to refrain from indulging in certain foods for the rest of my life. It's all good.

Take care and I wish you much success on your wellness journey!

A lot of people recommend a rotation diet where you don't eat the same thing for more than two days in a row. I didn't do this strictly, but I did try to pay attention and not, for example, eat rice every day for two weeks.

Some people have a difficult time with some foods - it's a matter of finding out what your body likes and doesn't like. I have no idea why the nurse would have given you a blanket statement of no beans. Is there another condition that you're dealing with? No matter what, though, if it doesn't agree with you, don't eat it. (On something like green beans, though, you have to ask if that was the *only* thing that could have made you sick - was there oil on the beans? seasoning? where were they cooked/cut? etc...)

As for dairy, many people find it hard to tolerate dairy. Eggs, though, are not dairy - you may separately have an issue with them, but as they don't come from mammary glads, they're not dairy. If eggs bother you, then those too should be avoided. If cheese doesn't bother you, but - for instance - milk does, it may well be a lactose problem, which is not uncommon in celiacs with a fair amount of intestinal damage. That may come back with time.

As others have said, it can be tough to know what's going to work well with your digestive system as you heal - you may discover other food intolerances, and may find that things that once bother you no longer do. There aren't any hard and fast rules, just a lot of coming to know your system.

Funny you should say that about beans because that's what I have discovered too. Beans, peas, citrus fruit, and dairy still send me running with the big "d". I was starting to doubt that gluten is the problem and had almost convinced myself that I had a legume, citrus, and dairy intolerance instead! I don't have my test results back yet so I am playing these lovely head games....

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      @glucel, I agree with @trents.  You can still do the AIP diet while taking aspirin.   I'm one of those very sensitive to pharmaceuticals and have gotten side affects from simple aspirin.  Cardiac conduction abnormalities and atrial arrhythmias associated with salicylate toxicity https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3952006/ Another part of the problem is that those drugs, aspirin and warfarin, as well as others, can cause nutritional deficiencies.  Pharmaceuticals can affect the absorption and the excretion of essential vitamins, (especially the eight B vitamins) and minerals.   Potential Drug–Nutrient Interactions of 45 Vitamins, Minerals, Trace Elements, and Associated Dietary Compounds with Acetylsalicylic Acid and Warfarin—A Review of the Literature https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11013948/   Aspirin causes a higher rate of excretion of Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Thiamine deficiency can cause tachycardia, bradycardia, and other heart problems.  Other vitamins and minerals, like magnesium, are affected, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes.  Without sufficient Thiamine and magnesium and other essential nutrients our health can deteriorate over time.  The clinical symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are subtle, can easily be contributed to other causes, and go undiagnosed because few doctors recognize Thiamine deficiency disorders. Thiamine deficiency disorders: a clinical perspective https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/ Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals.  Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals can boost absorption.   Our bodies cannot make vitamins and minerals.  We must get them from our diet.  The Gluten free diet can be low in Thiamine and the other B vitamins.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts. You would be better off supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals than taking herbal remedies.  Turmeric is known to lower blood pressure.  If you already have low blood pressure, taking turmeric would lower it further. Curcumin/turmeric supplementation could improve blood pressure and endothelial function: A grade-assessed systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38220376/ I've taken Benfotiamine for ten years without any side effects, just better health.

      Muscle atrophy in legs

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Polymyositis is a rare autoimmune disease that makes your immune system attack your muscles. Any autoimmune disease is associated with low vitamin D.   Even as a kid I had weak legs.  Now I feel the burn just walking to the mailbox. A case-control study found that patients with polymyositis (PM) had higher lactate levels at rest and after exercise, indicating impaired muscle oxidative efficiency. The study also found that an aerobic training program reduced lactate levels and improved muscle performance.

      Micronutrient Inadequacies in the US Population "A US national survey, NHANES 2007-2010, which surveyed 16,444 individuals four years and older, reported a high prevalence of inadequacies for multiple micronutrients (see Table 1). Specifically, 94.3% of the US population do not meet the daily requirement for vitamin D, 88.5% for vitamin E, 52.2% for magnesium, 44.1% for calcium, 43.0% for vitamin A, and 38.9% for vitamin C. For the nutrients in which a requirement has not been set, 100% of the population had intakes lower than the AI for potassium, 91.7% for choline, and 66.9% for vitamin K. The prevalence of inadequacies was low for all of the B vitamins and several minerals, including copper, iron, phosphorus, selenium, sodium, and zinc (see Table 1). Moreover, more than 97% of the population had excessive intakes of sodium, defined as daily intakes greater than the age-specific UL" My Supplements: Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg  (Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) levels in the body decrease steadily with age, reaching 10–20% of young adult levels by age 70.

      The paleo diet is based on the idea that the human body evolved to consume a balanced ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, and that the modern diet is out of balance. A healthy ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is 1:1–4:1, while the modern diet is closer to 20:1–40:1. The paleo diet aims to restore this balance.

      Best thing you can do for them! First-degree family members (parents, siblings, children), who have the same genotype as the family member with celiac disease, have up to a 40% risk of developing celiac disease. Make sure you and they get enough vitamin D and iodine in their diet.   Iodine deficiency is a significant cause of mental developmental problems in children, including implications on reproductive functions and lowering of IQ levels in school-aged children. Vitamin D deficiency is common in the United States, affecting up to 42% of the population.
