Too Little Or Too Much

I was doing well and then like a man aka dork, I started cheating a bit. Pretty much back on track but I have an interesting issue. In the distant past i was diagnosed with GERD and hiatal hernia. I started taking Zantac or a PPI but both seem to make it worse. I have read that the symptoms for low and high acid are the same. My brain it making me wonder if I am reducing already low acid. Have no GB. I am 37 so kinda in the middle of the typical low/high. On the plus side I have lost 20 pounds eating better over the last 4 months.

I notice that very fatty foods get me bad and make me nauseous.

Bile is used by your stomach to break down fats and oils. It is stored in your gall bladder and injected into your stomach whenever you eat alot of greasy foods to break the food down. When your gall bladder is removed, the little tube that connects the liver to the gall bladder and fills it with bile is connected to your stomach directly. Instead of getting a big goosh of bile whenever you eat something greasy, you instead get a constant drip drip drip of bile. This will make you nauseous when you don't eat, and it is easily overloaded when you pig out on something greasy, giving you nausea, indigestion and diarhea. I know. I had my gall bladder out several years ago, and I am still sick from pigging out on cheese and spicy nacho doritos last night. The best thing to do when you have no gall bladder is eat several small meals a day instead of one big one, and go easy on the greasy.

Bile from your gallbladder also neutralizes stomach acid, so if you have gallstones or a blocked duct it can give you massive heartburn and you will feel really sick after eating grease. Does it hurt when you push down on your right side? About three inches to the right of your bellybutton?

Also you can buy saliva test at health food stores to see your ph, then you will know if you have to much acid or not enough.....

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

      By trents · Posted

      Gluten-like cross reactions to other foods are from the proteins that make them up. Dextrose is the sugar component found in corn.

      I just found out a few days ago that some salt like table salt contains dextrose that’s derived from corn. I’ve been thinking about getting rid of using table salt and just using my own kosher or Himalayan salt, but tbh I’m reluctant to do it. I’ve cut out a lot of things and I don’t really want to cut out anything else that I’m not sure will effect me…in a super small amount that it might be added to salts to stabilize the iodine. I don’t want to be further alienated when I have to go to a restaurant with my friends. Also most of the items at my house that have salt in it canned food etc. are some of the few quick things I can eat- because I’m not the one paying for the food in my household and i can only ask for so much. I’m not in a place financially where I can get a lot of my specialized items- although my family tries their best to get items I Can actually stand. I get I can bring a my own salt with me at a restaurant and ask for no seasoning but it feels like a lot to me- cause I already check for cross contamination and ask if the food has like a high volume of corn in it like cornstarch etc. I’ve also heard most dextrose is not derived from the Zein (corn gluten) portion of it- so it might be safe- but idk if that’s true. I just wanna know if anyone actually responded to it negatively.

      I’m so confused…

      For my first couple of years after discovering my celiac disease I also had to avoid cow's milk/casein and eggs, as well as other things, but could tolerate duck eggs and sheep and goat's milk products. I'm not sure if you've tried those, but it could be worth testing them out.

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing?   Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement?   The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1.   Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue.   My gas and bloating resolved rather quickly when I took Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing) and Magnesium Glycinate in addition to my B 50 Complex (all twice a day plus the following...).   I found Magnesium L-Threonate or Magnesium Taurate are better when taken with a form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl dusulfide) because all of these cross the blood brain barrier easily, which corrects the loss of appetite, fatigue and anxiety.    Like @Celiacandme said, keeping a food/mood/poo'd journal is a big help in finding problematic foods, and for making sure your diet is not carbohydrate heavy.  If you're eating a lot if processed gluten free facsimile foods, be aware they do not have vitamins and minerals added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  For every 1000 kcal of carbohydrates, we need an extra 500 mg of thiamine to turn them into energy and not store them as fat.   Let us know how you're doing!

      Testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, if you had symptoms when eating gluten ruling out celiac disease won't necessarily mean you'll be able to eat gluten again, although it might mean that you may be able to be less strict with your gluten-free diet.
