Trying Meat Again

I have been gluten free since 05/17/08. Meat made me really sick at first (the big D and pain), so I stuck to turkey, fish and chicken. I am craving beef, but I am afraid to try it. Even a little piece might make me sick. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how long did you wait to try it again? How long did it take before your body could tolerate it, if ever?

I didnt eat beef for 7 years. Like you meat killed my stomach and gave me D. Then a Chinese doctor told me I needed to eat red meat after looking at my tongue. I went straight away to the store and bought a steak, ate it that night and felt GREAT! I've been eating it ever since. :)

I have gastroparesis and not celiac, but I too could not eat beef. Unless it was ground beef. That didn't cause a problem so long as I chewed it well.

I tried eating Horme Roast Beef Au Jus and I would throw it up every time. But I let some time go by. I haven't thrown up in a very long time. Tried it again. Just a few bites, finely minced. And it stayed down.

I find meat difficult too, especially beef and pork. I am ok with turkey, chicken and fish, but the heavier meats just sit in my stomach going nowhere.

Many of us suffer with low stomach acid. I have started taking Betaine HCI with pepsin with each meal and it is helping.

When my digestion first collapsed and I went gluten-free, I could hardly cope with many foods at all, and meat was definitely a no-no, but now, having been on the SCD for the last 6 months, my digestion is definitely better. I am still working on it, but I can now eat a lot more foods than I could back then.

Food combining can help if you have difficulty, too. Not eating carbs and protein at the same meal prevents the problem of carbs sitting fermenting whilst they wait their turn at digestion. Apparently protein is pre-digested in the stomach and carbs in the duodenum. As the protein needs acid for digestion and the carbs alkaline, the carbs have to wait until the protein has finished breakdown until they are emptied into the duodenum and can be processed. So eating carbs at one meal and protein at another makes it easier on the digestion.

      Gluten migranes at night

      I'll ask the same question that knitty kitty asked? On what basis did your Dr arrive at the conclusion that you have gluten intolerance? But let's be clear about terminology because the terms "gluten intolerance" and "gluten sensitivity" are typically used interchangeably out there in the wild and both are used indiscriminately to speak of two different...

      Gluten migranes at night

      Interesting....my Dr says since migranes are my only symptom she says I have gluten intolerance. I have stopped eating gluten. However, it seems to sneak in from time to time. Example: I ate canned mushrooms! Never thought canned mushrooms could have gluten, but they did. I had a migrane for 3 nights straight. Or I eat out, I think I am getting gluten free...

      Gluten migranes at night

      What medicine did they give you for migraines? Does it help much? I also suffer from migraines and am on one med for prevention and another for relief after onset. Many times, my headaches start during the night when I'm sleeping but not always. Have you cut back on gluten consumption of late? As knitty kitty explained, you must have been eating generous...

      Night time migranes

      Welcome to the forum, @Debado, Migraines at night can be caused by high levels of histamine. Histamine Intolerance can cause physical symptoms like migraines. Foods contain histamine. Our bodies make histamine, an important neurotransmitter. Our bodies naturally produce more histamine at night as part of our circadian rhythm, our sleep-wake cycles...

      Night time migranes

      Welcome to the forum, @Debado, Migraines at night can be caused by high levels of histamine.  Histamine Intolerance can cause physical symptoms like migraines. Foods contain histamine.  Our bodies make histamine, an important neurotransmitter.  Our bodies naturally produce more histamine at night as part of our circadian rhythm, our sleep-wake cycles.   Some foods like gluten and nuts contain high histamine themselves or trigger our bodies to produce more histamine.  A low histamine diet is helpful, cutting out high histamine foods and histamine-release triggering foods.   Our bodies can breakdown a certain amount of histamine, but sometimes our bodies cannot keep up with the amount of histamine needing to be broken down, and can be overwhelmed by the amount of histamine resulting in Histamine Intolerance and health problems like migraines.   Vitamins C, B12, Pyridoxine B6 and thiamin B1 help lower histamine levels.  Our bodies use these vitamins to make an enzyme DOA (diamond oxidase) that breaks down histamine.  DAO from beef or pork kidney is an over-the-counter supplement that can be taken.   Riboflavin B2 is very helpful for relieving migraines.   Have you been diagnosed with Celiac Disease or suspect you have it?   Happy Holidays!

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @ABP2025, Have you thought about having a DNA test to check for known Celiac genes?    I do hope you will make sure that you are getting sufficient gluten to provoke an autoimmune response strong enough that the antibodies can be measured in the blood.  See article below. Celiac disease affects the absorption of nutrients,  including vitamins and minerals.  Your symptoms may be associated with thiamine deficiency.   Migraines and peripheral neuropathy, phimosis (yes, even this), and white spots on the brain are seen in thiamine deficiency.  Celiac disease disrupts the absorption of all the essential nutrients, but thiamine can be quickly depleted, in as little as three days.  Thiamine deficiency can occur even if blood tests show normal levels.  Thiamine deficiency can affect antibody production.

      Night time migranes

      Anybody ever heard of getting a migrane from gluten and coconut oil ONLY at night?   If I consume gluten or coconut oil, even in the morning,  I will get a migrane. But not until half way thru the night. I don't get this. Why at night? Why not right after I eat?

      Early on,  DQ2 and DQ8 were the primary genes that have been connected to the potential to develop celiac genes but more recent genetic research suggests there may be more.
