My father had it… I’m showing many of the symptoms…
what is it? the inability to digest gluten… found in many grains like wheat, barley, etc…
Man am I going to have to change my diet like theres no tomarrow… no more pizza, fast food sandwhiches, bagels, apofaasdpfasdf I ate soooooo much bread shit that I never thought about… almost every meal I ate had some form of grain tied into it… healthy or not…
You can have some grains tho… like rice and corn and such… ate a gluten free frozen pizza last night… really wasnt too bad… pretty good actually… but its smaller than a tony’s and its fucking $7/pizza… also picked up some corn based pasta… and corn based tortilla chips… eating the right way now is going to cost a fortune…
oh yeah… and reading food labels sucks… theres sooo much shit in a can of soup these days…
edit: main reason why I’m asking if anyone has it or knows somebody that has it… wtf do you eat?
It sounds like you lose a lot of important vitamins and minerals too, I hope you’re taking a vitamin pill like Centrum or something. That can really help sometimes. I know how much it sucks to have to change your diet though, i’m hypoglycemic and it sucks. Pretty much I digest my food faster so I have to eat more throughout the day, but if I don’t eat I pretty much crash (I get fatigued, I shake, feel naucious etc.) but stick with the diet, it’s for the best
I wonder if this is WTF my problem is? I have times where I experience ass-splosions and can’t correlate them to a particular food, though I know that if I eat subs it tends to happen more. I always thought it was from the lettuce, but now I’m not so sure.
Many people in my family have been experiencing digestive problems over the last couple of years. I chalked it up to IBS, but again, it is pure speculation. My parents have both been through all the horrible tests and never really got any conclusive results. I ain’t taking those tests unless I can be sure that they’ll actually figure something out from them.
I gotta wonder if there isn’t something going on in the environment around here that is the root cause of it all.
Go see the dr… I know they can do a blood test for this one…
but yeah I hear you on WTF is the problem… You have pizza and hot wings and then an assplosion and of course youre not going to think it was the damn bread of all things…
but yeah she gets by, she was a vegetarian before it deveolped and well now, shes vegan and wont tough anything with eggs/milk or anything like that in it anyways.
my last girlfriend had it. bottom line, It sucks. You cant eat anything that even touches a gluten based product (i.e. flour, nuts, grains…pretty much the basis for 90% of the food we ingest)
If you go out to eat dinner, the food you ARE able to eat, can’t touch a gluten based product,…even a crumb…SERIOUSLY, A CRUMB will make you sick. So if you get a salad just because that’s the onlything on the menu you can eat…if it had croutons already mixed in it…the staff pulled them out because you told them you couldn’t eat it. YOU’LL GET SICK IF THERE IS A SINGLE CROUTON CRUMB in you salad.
basically the celia in you small intestine starts to get matted down (kind like walking on grass for a long time) The longer you continue to ingest gluten…the worse the celia in your intestines get. And the more responsive you are to gluten. Over a longer period of time you’ll get sicker with less gluten. The health issue beyond feeling like shit is the celia don’t function and you can’t absorb the nutrients from your food. People who have this disease tend to be quite thin.
People who think there’s a world of things out there that are “gluten Free”… couldn’t be more wrong.
remember these things that are on the DO NOT CONSUME LIST:
-beer
-pizza
-bread and other grain alcohols (exception is potatoe based alcohol…like some vodkas)
-nuts (and nut based products)
-cereal
-crackers
-spices/seasonings
-EVEN DRIED FRUIT… dried fruit usually has flour on it to keep the fruits from sticking to eachother… so no dried fruit for you either
that being said…anything made with FLOUR is on this list
tons of stuff
Wegmanns has a “GLUTEN FREE” aisle and the food isn’t all that bad…but it’s $$$. There’s a nutrition store next to Denny’s on Sheridan/NFB that carries a lot of GLUTEN FREE stuff as well.
The only thing positive about this disease (if its a companion)…is it makes for a cheap date when you go out… and keeps her thin.
i hear she loves the pizza
