On monday I will know whether I have celiac disease.

Foods for that feel?

[Anonymous No.15010614]

fathead pizza dough (i like to put nutritional yeast in mine but that could be contaminated with gluten)
chicken tendies with pork rinds for crust
rice noodles/pho
franz gluten free bread tastes decent, and toasts up pretty nicely. kind of a small loaf though, canyon bakehouse has a decent loaf, too.
peanut butter sandies made with almond flour
mashed potatoes and gravy with cornstarch as a thickener
chicken tendies with parmesan cheese as the coating
tacos with 100% corn tortillas
udi's pizza when you're lazy and dont want to cook
honestly since hipsters and hypochondriacs latched onto gluten free, it's gotten so much better. it's not at all the end of the world like it used to be.

make sure to stay away from coffee and other gluten cross-reactors though, they can set back your progress and make you think something was contaminated with gluten when it actually wasn't.

if your blood comes back clean for celiac's but gluten is still an issue for you, make sure to screen for non-celiacs' gluten intolerance (especially if you have family with celiacs) because the only evidence will be damage to your intestines instead of an IG response in your blood.

Thanks a lot mate. This is a helpful list.
I am most worried about not having beer again.
I am scheduled for a colonoscopy when the results come back negative. I hope they find out what is wrong with me because I am tired of shitting my brains out every day

I got celiac disease AMA. Do me a favor and get a nice big ol' pizza hut order with wings and stuffed crust sausage and pepperoni pizza. Get some alfredo too. BTW Glutenberg is a half decent gf beer, although kinda expensive. Redbridge is pisswater though. Also, don't worry, you'll learn to appreciate hard liquor more.

Isn't pizza loaded with gluten?

What were your issues before you got diagnosed?

there are gluten free beers out there, and there's always hard cider. :) have you heard of the low FODMAP elimination diet? it's something that's helped me a lot. i was diagnosed with ibs after my celiacs test came back negative, and the doctor i was seeing at the time recommended it to me, along with finely milled acacia fiber. gluten is actually one of the big FODMAPs, and if your guts get too fucked up it leads to lactose intolerance eventually (which can be reversed by not eating trigger foods)
if you're full of gas seemingly all the time, have had your intestines shred themselves/ulcerate after meals, or find that certain foods can go through you almost undigested or in a disturbingly short amount of time (i can eat 3 ounces of apple and be shitting it out 30 minutes later. this is not normal), you should consider cross referencing your identified trigger foods with a FODMAPs list.

oh! for the holiday season you'll probably want pie. gluten free graham crackers are my go-to for pie crust. you can also use gluten free oreo-type cookies as a pie crust.
chestnuts and roasted sweet potato cubes with sausage and apple make really excellent stuffing for thanksgiving. watch out for any broths you use, sometimes they have gluten in them for some stupid reason.

I haven't heard of the FODMAP elimination diet. I don't even know what FODMAP is.

I don't really have trigger foods or anything like that. I just have diarrhea all the time. And I have been living like that for over ten years. Doctors didn't take me serious enough and just this year I forced them to actually run tests and stuff.
I am usually also not too filled with gas.

They gave me two vials that I have to fill with crap and send it to the laboratory to rule out other stuff as well.

When I drink water early in the morning it comes back out 10 minutes later. Just pure brown water shit.

FODMAPs are specific types of short chain carbohydrates that some people have trouble digesting, causing them to instead ferment inside your intestines and give the person IBS type gastric distress. gluten is one of them, lactose is another really common one. fructans, which are present in foods like onions or garlic, are also pretty common trigger foods. fructose, which is in loads of fruits like bananas and apples. sorbitol, which is also present in apples but also found in beans. mannitol, which is present in foods like mushrooms, and various oligo-saccharides which are in foods like beans and nuts.
when you've been living with IBS for so long it can be really hard to identify trigger foods off the bat, since you've adjusted to life and your body has adjusted to just shitting everything out as liquid. regardless of whether or not your doctors are able to give you a conclusive diagnosis, you should really look into elimination diets as a potential treatment since it's a digestive issue. specific carbohydrate, low FODMAP, autoimmune protocol, low histamine diet, pretty much any medically oriented elimination diet is a good place to start because it'll allow your guts to get back to some semblance of normal over the course of a few months, and then you can start testing food groups out.
if you aren't already food journalling in some capacity, you really should be. even if you aren't writing down symptoms, just having a list of the foods you regularly eat will help you identify things you can eliminate for a few weeks to see if your symptoms improve at all, even if you don't go whole hog on a medical diet.

i, too, shat liquid for over 5 years. sometimes, it was green. occasionally, it had shreds of intestinal wall in it. now, i just don't eat foods with fructans or mannitol and i'm pretty much good to go.

I have looked up a list of the foods one should avoid and which ones are good to eat.
That's an incredible list of stuff I don't want to miss.

I'd rather keep shitting my brains out lol

[Anonymous No.15010719]

>>15010712
i mean the nice part is that if it's not celiacs and it is just regular IBS, you can still probably eat all of those foods once you've figured out which ones make you shit your brains out, and which ones you need to be careful with so you can maintain solid healthy poops.

honestly if your ass is a chocolate waterfall you're probably mad constipated and could do with some fiber, as well. finely ground acacia or psyllium are great options, but you should probably stay away from inulin or flax.

It's probably gonna be the last time you can eat it, so go nuts. Plus you're supposed to keep eating gluten until after the colonoscopy. The reaction gets worse as your body heals, so it's better to do it now.

I had extreme stomach pain, I couldn't digest fat and it would float in the toilet, I would only be able to sleep until 4am, I lost like 30 lbs, my hands and feet would periodically get super numb, I would get shakes for 15 at a time. I had extreme anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts (celiac does brain damage I guess). It's gotten much better since I started a gluten free diet, but I'm still not back to normal. Also I recently got lyme disease from a fucking tick so now I'm double fucked.

Brew your own. Either with gluten free LME, sorghum LME or just regular beer with alph/beta amylase, clarity ferm and all that good stuff. If you do it right even wheat beers and imperial stouts go below 20 ppm gluten without affecting the taste.

[Anonymous No.15011559]

>>15011542
20ppm is a convenient number for manufacturers and will likely still get people with celiac sick. In Europe the legal limit is 5ppm

I'm waiting for results right now too... I had my upper endoscopy on the 2nd.
I'm really gonna need help. I haven't got a chance on my own. I'm a picky eater, I don't know how to cook. And I'm used to eating out for more than half my meals in a week.

This is the first I've heard about "cross-reactors", and after researching it, this list is absolutely fucking absurd.
How the hell can I live like this? Just wheat already sounds bad enough.

I need guidance for my whole diet. Not to find the 3 overpriced GF dining locations in my region for an occasional night out.

And my doctor told me to not use cookware or cutlery that had been used with gluten, vast majority of the locations on this site just have an optional gluten-free menu, they're not running gluten-free facilities.

>I don't know how to cook.
you gon learn soon boy

Seriously though it's time to suck it up and become a good cook because you're stuck with your own cooking now. Forever.
For a start get a rice cooker and learn how to pan fry stuff like chicken breast, pork chops and so on. Just focus on dead simple recipes for a while and get the basics down, it's not that bad, lots of people do this even without a disease and it's cheaper and healthier

>>15011789
That's overly alarmist even most caliacs don't have trouble with those things. Oats maybe are the most common but they also tend to have CC

Rough deal. There was a girl I knew all through school who had celiac, nut allergies, shellfish, and a bunch of others I can't recall. Basically she could only eat certain meats and veggies. She had IBS too. She still did well in school and managed her way around it.

[Anonymous No.15013297]

>>15013008
Yeah but the ones with good reviews are basically the only ones you can go to. Sounds like you need to schedule a visit with a nutritionist. Meat and potatoes is easy, so is rice and corn. Use those for your starches. King Arthur makes a good gluten free flour. You can pretty much make anything gf. Udis makes hamburger buns that are half decent, against the grain makes good frozen pizza. Just experiment with things and see what you like. You're gonna have to learn how to cook though.

Little Northern Bakehouse gluten free bread is the best gluten free bread I've had if it's available in your area
Schar baguettes are great for garlic bread - just follow the package directions
Van's gluten free crackers and frozen waffles are great

Uh... what else...

when making pasta, make just enough to serve with that meal. leftover gluten free pasta tends to disintegrate. if you have to have it leftover, heat it up slowly.

oh yeah
you can still drink hard liquor derived from grains since the distillation process removes virtually all of the gluten

there are beers out there that have been brewed to have reduced gluten per ppm (e.g. New Belgium's Glutiny, Omission, Glutenberg), however I find they make me feel sick if I have more than one or two

Find Me Gluten Free app is best for finding gluten free eating locations
it's not 100% accurate since it has a small userbase but it's more trustworthy than google or yelp reviews - if someone with celiac gets sick, they'll tell you
it's also easy to contact the admins to add a new restaurant if you're willing to take a risk

Yes, cookware and utensils will retain gluten, and can contaminate your food. Stainless steel and glass don't retain it, but most every thing else does. I hope its not celiacs, good luck.

[Anonymous No.15015058]

>>15011789
like >>15013102 said, i'm being a bit over-dramatic. some people will have trouble with foods that are gluten cross-reactors for the first few months of gluten free eating, but after that it really doesn't happen. a lot of the foods on the list are either chemically similar or are prone to cross contamination anyways (like oats)
