Gluten Free Diet 2nd Time Around

So about three weeks ago i went back on the Gluten-Free diet. I know it has only been a very short time- but the last time i did i almost instantly felt better. Within a week i was waking up refreshed- D went away in days!! This time- i dont have the d's as often, but definitely worse than last time- my face did clear up which gets really bad with gluten im constantly exhausted and cannot wake up in the morning to save my life- (I am aware of the withdrawal issues, and its possible but at least last time b4 the withdrawal i felt AWESOME!!) I am very careful to avoid cross contamination and know what i can and cannot eat so i dont think im getting glutened- Not to mention for some reason- I will be starving one minute, and by the time i make something to eat and take a bite im not hungry anymore- So im not really eating much anyway! Which i guess could be a reason for being so tired- Anyone else have a reaction to the diet like this on their 2nd go around.. or 1st for that matter- its hard to stick to something when you dont really see results- especially if they once produced life changing ones!!

I imagine you have damaged your intestines further, and so they may take longer to heal. Why did you go back to eating gluten if it was working for you?

Well, long story short I went through some family issues and somehow got back onto drinking beer- and it just kind of spiraled out of control after that- I am so mad that I did- Guess it will help knowing that I made it worse- lol- wont go back to gluten again for sure!!!

I would tend to agree with kitgordon. I don't have any real knowledge base here, but my suspicion is that you just need more time to let the additional damage heal. You also have motivation to stay gluten free knowing that it will likely be harder the 3rd time around. It took me a long long time to feel better. Keep it up and look through all your food, products, and cooking supplies again incase something is slipping in. I'm assuming you've cut dairy already. (Hint, hint)

      Abscesses on legs

      By Liquid lunch · Posted

      I don’t think it matters much, there’s another type of cordyceps but I’m not sure if there’s a lot of difference, the one I’m using is cordyceps sinensis from maesyffin in wales, sinensis is the one with a long history of medicinal use in china. I think the alcohol (vodka) in the tincture helps with uptake vs taking capsules. And yes, changing my diet helped but it’s almost impossible to maintain as I can’t eat any lectins or sugar which is almost everything. Low lectin is about the best to hope for, they’re in everything. I can eat teff, millet, hemp seeds, blueberries, strawberries, blackcurrants, yogurt, cheese, walnuts, pistachios, macadamia, broccoli, sweet potato, carrots, beetroot, olives, rocket, avocado, chlorella/spirulina, and fish. That’s about it. I keep quail and make their food myself because lectins get into the commercial pellet fed chickens eggs. It took me years of adding one thing at a time with three weeks of pain every time I got it wrong to figure this out but there’s a finger prick blood test available now that will tell you which foods are triggering your autoimmune system, they test for 200+ different proteins and measure igg and ige antibodies. Good luck, I hope the mushrooms help but best to address the cause of the problem I think and have the igg and ige antibody test.

      Just a heads up, if your butt sores go away on a gluten free diet, you would need to go back to eating gluten for a period of weeks or months if you want to get formally tested for celiac disease. Otherwise, the testing will be invalidated.

      Has anyone struggled with high blood pressure?

      https://www.drugs.com/inactive/sodium-starch-glycolate-128.html https://celiac.org/gluten-free-living/gluten-in-medicine-vitamins-and-supplements/ Santina, are you a super sensitive celiac? If there is gluten in the starch used in this med it would be a very small amount since gluten is the protein component of wheat, not the starchy part. You can never completely separate the two but the starch should have only a trace of gluten I would think. It is also possible that you reacting to the active component of the medication itself.

      What is NCGS? I don't know anything for certain yet; I am simply in the beginning stages of trying to uncover the root cause of a skin issue.

      It wasn't generic. I guess with that ingredient they use corn rice or wheat as a binder. Thats where gluten comes in. Like anything else hidden gluten!
