Hi peeps...

Right been on gluten-free 1 weeks and 3 days since biopsy since I feel better in myself bit more positive etc..

BUT..

When I wake up i never feel like I wake up properly I was getting fatigue before gluten-free but IO had so many symptoms may be I didnt notice it then i dont know..or may be its withdrawal from other diet or just that theres not enough fibre in our gluten-free diet so we end up toxic from the big C...

FATIGUE:

I wake up tiered..with red eyes and as teh day goes on it gets worse but my whole body feels like its got led weights on and I cant think..couldnt even do the alaphabet last week in my new job which isnt good at all..

BLOAT:

Also I still have bloating nothing like it was but still bloated but I am still haveing to do candida diet so could it be the candida? Or do you think the new diet has made us constipated which is why we bloat still? or takes time for bloat to go as we heal? Or maybe its to do with Thyroid as I have read you can get bloated

DIZZY:

Yesturday I had really bad dizzy spells all day and just couldnt function it was awful..and my eyes were so blood shot all day..I did go to the gym the night before may be that contributes to the fatigue a bit but I used to train for competitions and i am doing nothing now compared to what I used to as I am fatigued all the time. (I do 25 mins cardio 3 times a week and some light weights to keep my fitness at a reasonable level until I a m fully recovered)..

DRY HAIR & BREAKING cold etc...

Doctor has just sent of blood work for thyroid test so may be thats why I am getting fatigue as I think Iam easting plenty..

I have rice with fish for breaky

Rice with salad fish at lunch

Meat or fish with loads of veg in the evening

Linseed

Vit B's

Minerals

Candiclear

2 litred of water a day

I was constipated the other day took mil par (hope that was okay dont know) and after going to th loo fely a little bit more enegergised the next day so may being toxic doesnt help..

The main thing that getting me down is my bloat and fatigue...I dont care if I have to live on baked beans for life just want to be normal...

Hello Mandy and Welcome!

If you have only been gluten free for 10 days, give it some more time. It can take up two years for the body to fully heal, depending on the extent of the damage. It takes me 10 days to recover from an accidental glutening. There is also a withdrawal/adjustment period-the time varies for everyone.

You also mentioned constipation a couple of times and lack of fiber. The gluten free diet actually allows for an extremely high fiber diet. Instead of rice, try fruit and vegetables-they have the fiber nature intended for us to eat. Rice is great, but even if you are eating brown, a 1/2 cup only has 3 grams of fiber. I log all of my food to make sure that I don't overeat (because I am ALWAYS hungry and to make sure I have enough fiber and carbs, as I am also an athlete) Also, make sure your supplements and personal care products are gluten free.

I discovered after I went gluten free, that there are several things I cannot tolerate and they cause me to bloat up and retain water. Mainly cassien and soy. It feels like it is constant trial and error.

The dry breaking hair, cold could be thyroid, but could be from malabsorption. I tend to lose a lot of hair when I am glutened.

I take from your post that you are from across the big pond. Is the fish for breakfast like what I think of as fish-tilapia, salmon etc? If so, wow you are better than me. I can only tolerate traditional breakfast food for breakfast ;) Eggs, banana's gluten free pancakes

Again, Welcome.

Kat.

      But isn't it easier to just take a D3 supplement? Is the D light somehow a superior source? Links?

      So the way it should be used is to take it before possible gluten exposure, so right before a meal at a restaurant take 1-2 capsules. Unfortunately taking it 1 hour or more after an exposure is too late.

      Do I really need to get a biopsy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, and thank you for sharing your detailed experience. It sounds like you’ve been through a lot over the past several months, and it’s understandable to feel frustrated after navigating unclear diagnoses and conflicting advice. Since you’ve found relief with a gluten- and corn-free diet, it might be worth continuing that approach for now, especially given your current commitments to culinary classes. You could consider working with a knowledgeable dietitian or a gastroenterologist who specializes in food intolerances and celiac disease to explore potential intolerances or other conditions without immediately reintroducing gluten. If confirming celiac disease is important for your long-term health management, you could plan for an endoscopy during a less busy period, ensuring you follow the gluten challenge protocol beforehand. In the meantime, prioritizing your well-being and avoiding known triggers seems like a practical step. Always advocate for yourself with doctors, and seek second opinions if needed—your health concerns are valid. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Do I really need to get a biopsy?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ryangf! If you don't have celiac disease you could still have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). They share many of the same symptoms but NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Some experts feel NCGS can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis of NCGS is arrived at by first ruling out celiac disease by formal testing. At the end of the day the antidote for both is the same, namely, life-long abstinence from gluten. Yes, corn is a common cross-reactor with gluten for some celiacs. So are oats, soy, eggs and dairy.  I have concern with your possible exposure to wheat flour dust during your culinary training. It gets in the air, you breathe it in, it gets trapped in the mucous of your mouth and airway and winds up in your gut. If you decide to go forward wit the "gluten challenge" for formal celiac disease testing, aim for the daily consumption of 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for four weeks leading up to the day of either the blood draw or the endoscopy/biopsy.

      Less than 10 parts per billion issues

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I just want to mention that with gluten we're talking about ppm, or "parts per million," and not parts per billion.  Sticking to whole foods and home cooking is the safest way to go, without necessarily replacing all gluten products you might normally eat with gluten-free ones. If you do eat gluten replacements, for example gluten-free bagels or breads, it's probably best to take @trents advice and seek out certified gluten-free brands.
