Struggling w/ Gluten Challenge
Ginger38 replied to McNish's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I got misinformed in the beginning of my journey and even with positive TTG-IGA antibodies in my blood I was not sent to gastro for further work up or biopsy, I was just told to go gluten free bc I had intolerance to gluten but no way did I have celiac. Many years later I took myself to the gastro doc , I still have positive antibodies but lower than before... -
Generally speaking I am assuming copper levels are deficient in celiac disease… But can it cause high copper levels?

Diabetic and Celiac- what do I Eat???
Ginger38 replied to Ginger38's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
So do you eat gluten free replacement foods? My stomach just can’t seem to tolerate all the veggies and sugar free coffee creamers and sugar free replacements etc. eggs are hard on my stomach as is salad and things like that. I don’t think my intestines have healed .. I thought about baby food. I just don’t know anymore. I don’t even know what to eat for... -
I have been insulin resistant for many years. All of the sudden my insulin resistance has become terribly bad and I’m dealing with diabetes that I cannot control. I think eating gluten free replacement foods has contributed to this based on blood sugar measurements after consuming them, so I have basically backed off all breads, crackers, frozen foods etc. ...

Extreme Sleepiness, Weakness and Shakiness?
Ginger38 replied to Ginger38's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge to help others!! I must admit I have not been as dedicated as I need to be with the sugar issues. It’s just hard. I have been prediabetic / insulin resistance for years. This year I’ve had 2 A1C readings in the diabetic range for the first time. I do take metformin. I just don’t know what to eat. It was s... -
Extreme Sleepiness, Weakness and Shakiness?
Ginger38 replied to Ginger38's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I have been trying to keep a food journal. I had a spell like that today. I had eaten bacon and gluten free pizza. I didn’t eat until around lunch. I try to count carbs bc of my sugar issues and I also have central hypothyroidism, ptsd, generalized anxiety disorder, depression, SVT/tachycardia and palpitations, fibromyalgia -
Thank you.. this is helpful! Keep the tips coming

Extreme Sleepiness, Weakness and Shakiness?
Ginger38 replied to Ginger38's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
No… I’m too chicken 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ -
I have recently been having spells where I get extremely sleepy, like can’t hold my eyes open, get shaky and weak. I fall asleep and am like out cold. I have been to the doc recently and nothing was out of normal for me. I do have other medical issues. Just wondering if this could have anything to do with gluten / celiac or if anyone else has had these s...

Thank you, this is helpful Wonder if I should try eating baby foods??
-
Also I can’t eat salads anymore (or at least for the time being) they run right through me, it’s like I can’t digest them
-
Thank you so much!!! I can’t skip breakfast bc my sugar bottoms out. So I’m guessing you avoid red meat?
-
Thank you! I figured a multi vitamin was necessary?
-
Thanks. I take vitamin d and am trying to take B1 again. I also take a multi vitamin for immunity support so can you please tell me some examples of what you eat? I keep Asking that but am not having any luck getting responses.. especially breakfast if no eggs or oats and I need protein
-
Well my diet keeps getting messed up so I do think that is contributing
-
So just wondering Do You have any suggestions on a decent diet that is easier on my digestive system until my intestines heal some? I need protein bc of my sugar. I just truly don’t know what to eat. Especially for breakfast… As far as nightshades, that’s interesting bc tomato based foods and spices/peppers etc have been causing me some bloating pain ...
-
I eat a lot of dairy (cheeses and milk) and eggs because of my sugar issues. I do eat gluten-free oatmeal sometimes and I love corn. What are nightshades? I just don’t know what the heck to eat that’s not terrible for sugar and I can digest that doesn’t cause diarrhea. Broth and any idea what else? So every time I have any amount of glute...
-
Yeah I keep screwing up so I feel like I keep starting over and that’s probably a large part of the issue. I forget how long true healing and resolution of issues can take. Thanks for the info. I will look into those amino acids. I am trying to keep a food log, but during the healing process are there foods that are better to eat and easier to d...

My stomach hates me …. And I’m so sick of dealing with all these gastrointestinal issues .. especially the embarrassing ones. I got divorced 5 yeas ago and am in a new relationship … these issues have really caused me major insecurities to the point I just try not to eat or at times have eaten very little and taken Imodium and I know that’s not good. ...

I cannot find any gluten free sunflower seeds. I like mine out of the shell and salted. Anyone out there know of any?
-
Thank you!!
-
Do you toast them or do anything special ? Thanks. I looked at those but I have only been able to find them to purchase online in bulk and as a struggling single mom I just don’t usually have the extra money to buy things in bulk… that’s been a huge issue for me with the gluten free diet

I MISS hotdog and hamburger buns…. I have learned to eat burgers without a bun pretty easily but I like sloppy joes and pizza burgers and other things that really need a hamburger bun. And I love hot dogs on a bun. The only gluten-free buns around my area are frozen UDIs brand, which frozen works good so I don’t waste them and can use as needed. They are...

I’m struggling with this diet… I keep screwing up and not double checking foods and labels or ingredients when eating out and such. So anyway I just ate something that I now realize had gluten in It 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️is there anything I can do ?? Do digestive enzymes help?? I’m nervous about what lies ahead. I had been trying so hard and screwed up again
