You may also have to start eating differently, more protein and more good FATS to provide the longer lasting fuel you need.

Plus a multivitamin and mineral, gluten free, of course.

I've been eating gluten free for 9mths now and it's still improving. The last month I have really noticed how much more energy I have and remembering.. it's been many years since I've felt this good.. I was sick for about 6 years before starting the diet so this is a relief. Be encouraged. :D

Thanks, that is very good to hear. Nice to have that to look forward to. It's easy to get down at times. All the studying, being afraid to eat anything, trying to be a dectective at all times, it just wears on a person that's already WORN. LOL

I hear ya, when I think about how exhausted I was for years.. no motivation, and depressed because I knew this was not me... I could cry thinking about back then. I am so thankful that it has changed.. and I have no idea how much I will improve from this point. It will definitely get better.

Ya know.. you are putting some heavy demands on your body so it's having to cope with that too. Give yourself time.... and like Takala said.. maybe some extra nutrients and supplements.

Take care

Remember, too, that even though you are no longer causing damage to the villi in your intestines, it will take a long time for them to completely heal and begin absorbing the nutrients effectively. For some people, I understand, it can take up to a year or two.

I'm feeling lots better today, more rested and peaceful. Is it normal to have ups and downs? I would imagine that if a peron manages this exactly right, including proper rest that there really shouldn't be many downs, but a sow trend up instead. It's nice to hear from the more experienced, thanks again.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - Many new celiacs report that they can go gluten-free, with the exception of giving up beer. That seems to be a bridge too far from many celiacs, and may be why nearly 20% cheat on their diets:

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For those with celiac disease we know that there is a huge range in sensitivity, for example we've had many members here who report that even smelling wheat bread cooking in a bakery, for example a bakery in a supermarket, triggers an immediate gluten reaction that can last days or longer. Is there science to back this up--not that I've seen. Does this mean that it can't happen? Since it does seem to happen to some people, I can't say that there isn't something real happening to these folks.  Similarly there seems to be celiacs who can drink even regular beers, many of which have detectable gluten at under 20ppm, without issues, and many drink gluten reduced beers made from barley on a daily basis without issues, and without elevated antibodies or damaged villi. I also know that some celiacs report getting very sick from a single sip of gluten reduced beer. To be on the safe side it's probably best to stick with a naturally gluten-free beer, however, many of them lack the real beer taste, thus, some celiacs cheat on their diets and just drink regular beer. In this case I think having a choice is important, and drinking a gluten reduced option would be better than regular beer.

      Actually, gluten intolerance and celiac disease are not the same. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, while gluten intolerance is a broader term that can include Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS). NCGS involves gluten-related symptoms without the autoimmune or allergic response seen in celiac disease. The terms are often used inconsistently, which can cause confusion.

      Could this be Celiac disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Given the nefarious nature of celiac disease and how it strips nutrients from your body, I believe we've seen virtually every type of abdominal pain here described as a symptom. In my case it was mostly in my lower right quadrant. While gluten intolerance or celiac disease primarily affects the digestive system, it can sometimes cause referred pain in areas like the left upper quadrant or back due to inflammation or irritation in the gut. However, left-sided pain and elevated lipase levels could also indicate other conditions, such as pancreatic issues, which should be evaluated by a healthcare professional. Gluten itself is not typically known to directly irritate the pancreas, but if you suspect a connection, it’s worth discussing with your doctor. They may recommend further testing, such as imaging or additional blood work, to rule out other causes. Others in gluten-sensitive communities have occasionally reported similar symptoms, but individual experiences can vary widely. Keeping a detailed food and symptom diary might help identify patterns.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I was also surprised to learn that Morton Iodized Salt contains: "Salt, Calcium Silicate (an anticaking agent), Dextrose, potassium iodide." Their non-iodized version contains only salt. https://www.mortonsalt.com/home-category/culinary-salts/
