I have celiac disease and I just want to share some information that you might find helpful. 1. Please be very careful seeing a functional medicine doctor, it can be a lot of stress for something that isnt rooted in science. 2. There is no gluten allergy, you can be gluten intolerant, celiac, or have a wheat allergy but there is on true gluten allergy. 3. You cannot eat gluten free for 30+ days and then do your testing as you may have a false negative, so its important to begin eating gluten again. 4. Celiac disease requires an intestinal biopsy to be diagnosed, do not believe/trust any medical professional who tries to diagnose you with celiac disease from blood work. I hope you find this helpful, I dont want this to come across in a negative way, but I also dont want you to have to live a life without gluten if its not for sure something you need to avoid (being celiac is REALLY hard, being gluten free isnt too bad)
@rachkataryna1222 the blood test checks for intolerance, if it's positive and really high, then they send you for a biopsy to check if it's celiac. In your case if you werent eating gf you may have had a false negative, or it's just something that doesn't agree with you even if it's not a true intolerance
@wrenfan ya I totally hear where you are coming from, especially since you went through so much unnecessary suffering. However times are different now and I find people are being told they are celiac without actually being confirmed. And if they aren't, it's a lot of suffering (such as not being able to go to certain restaurants, extra stress etc) that could be avoided.
I always feel better when I scale back on gluten. I still include it in my diet, but not much. Because...there are some items that have gluten that I love and there is no replacement...in my opinion. HA HA HA!! Honestly I have none or to very minimal of my symptoms now that I just limit gluten.
Love this Kayla, I relate to the rash! Having Hashimotos Thyroiditis, I'm gluten, dairy & goitrogen intolerant. Gluten inflames my entire body & changes my mood, though soy is my true kryptonite. Having clarity on food sensitivity is a game changer, so best of luck with the testing ❤
Nice! Hope this helps to heal your gut ❤I did a mistake once doing a month gluten free and then testing for celiac antibodies ( apparently one needs to add gluten to produce them if there is an issue). Doing it right this time having bread and pizza and will test again. Good luck to all of us with "hot girl stomach issues"!😊
I have celiacs disease, fully diagnosed, I was super sick before, but would have never guessed it was the gluten. It has been life changing, I am fully diagnosed by a professional. Note I had to eat it prior to the testing to see actual proof but I think they would have seen the damage either way because it was so bad in the first place. Glad you didn't bash the gluten free diet for my sake 😅😂. One thing negative about fads, is people then don't take it seriously, one thing positive about fads it pushes companies to produce more gluten free options.
Loved the video! This felt like one of the OG videos that attracted me to your content originally. I love the way you affirm and love yourself. You're the best, Kayla 😘
Tip, most gluten free pizza's cost sooooo...much. And are disappointing. A simple way to have a great gluten free pizza. Biquick has a gluten free crust recipe that is sooo...good. I add onion powder, and garlic powder and top the way you like. Yummy😉💞
I love this video! I completely agree that some things may work for you, some things won’t. I’ve been told that I need to go to the gym and count my carbs but it just doesn’t work for me. I’m like you and I’ll just eat when I’m hungry and stop when I’m full. I like to pick out different exercises for different days because I easily get bored. One day I might jump rope and then resistance bands the next. I’ve also been on a health journey when it comes to naturally dealing with my migraines. I completely stopped drinking alcohol because the migraines that it causes just isn’t worth it. Some people don’t get that but to me it just makes sense. Thank you for showing the GF options! My NP said that I may need to do a food allergen test later on if my migraines done improve with vitamins. Apparently gluten can cause some people migraines so we’ll see.
At the end I felt like you looked brighter! Like you really did feel better!! Your always beautiful!! I need to watch again to get the butternut squash recipe! The food all looked yummy!! 💖💖
I've been gluten free for 8 years. I used to have chronic migraines. I decided to quit gluten for 30 days on a whim just to see how I felt. I didn't get one single migraine. Once I had gluten again I got an instant migraine. So 8 years no gluten and 8 years no migraines. For the taste test did you actually use legit gluten free Oreos or did you use a gluten free cookie that are like Oreos? I can't taste any kind of difference they taste just how I remember them tasting.
Congrats on your 8 years gluten free!! I need to find some support groups for that because I'm a newbie on that journey and I realize there's a learning curve to it. After suffering with heartburn and bloating, etc. I decide to stop eating bread on a hunch that was the culprit and I was right! Needless to say, I ran into some great videos on TH-cam and found this excellent book, by William Davis called, "Wheat Belly!" That really woke me up to the reality of this culprit of my digestive woes.
It makes perfect sense to get a symptom (migraines) try to eliminate something and based on that result continue to avoid the offending substance. Although I was officially diagnosed almost 20 years ago, in addition to having the classic symptoms (GI) it was only after going and staying GF that I also never again had a migraine headache. Had I known before my diagnosis that was all I had to do to never get another one I would have gone GF immediately and never looked back. Congrats to you for your discovery and continued success.
I became vegetarian maybe 4 years ago and about two months in I noticed my gut was generally so much happier. I’m sure I’d get similar results and less bloating cutting out gluten, but at some point personal joy and taste outweighs dietary changes like that haha. Gluten is the line for me
I agree, I can’t have dairy, I have IBS, and SIBO. I know for a fact I am gluten intolerant what a mess at my age. I do feel so much better, I meet with my GI doctor middle of October. You look good stay with the gluten free healthy eating. Those string bean are to die for❤
I was gluten free for a while but discovered that it’s actually wheat I’m intolerant to. I also looked at other intolerances I had, and they all fall under the fodmap group, so I now eat low fodmap. It’s frustrating when eating out because whilst most supermarket gf products are by default wheat free, there is a bakery near me run by someone coeliac that uses deglutanised wheat flour, that delivers to a lot of the cafes and restaurants locally, and for me I may as well eat the normal stuff because it contains wheat and makes me just as ill. You might be feeling better because like me you’re eating less wheat by default, so it might be worth looking at that. The indicator is that I’m ok when I eat barley and other gluten containing foods, but I’m not ok with oats, garlic and lactose. All on the fodmap list.
Thank you for sharing 🥰miss you making these types of videos and trying and committing to them for a month but I know how hard it must be to record then edit them. 💞 great job I appreciate you so much for doing it❤
I'm gluten intolerant, so no gluten for me. I also control my migraines and another health problem with my diet...or maybe I should say the foods I eat. Why because I am allergic to many medications or they just plain do not work for me. I live in a small town, that likes to call itself a city 😊. And because of that and the fact that I don't drive...and the stores don't carry a lot of gluten free foods. It can be hard to find gluten free and it's costs so much. So that your lucky stars if you don't have to be gluten free. 😊💟💟
Hi Kayla- Thank you for making this video! I watched it right after you posted it and I decided I’m going to challenge myself to go gluten free for October and see how I feel. I started today -one day early and I feel good! I have noticed that I have more stomach and bowel distress when i have foods with gluten. I really love sourdough bread but I’m willing to give it up for 1 month. Did you find a good gluten free bread? I do like low carb wraps but I haven’t tried the gluten free tortillas. I read some mixed reviews On the Target app. It would be fun for you to do a 10,000 steps a day for a month challenge. I’m noticing more results when I get at least 10,000 steps a day.
Did you use a certain recipe for the turkey and zucchini patties? Or the butternut squash mac n cheese? They looking amazing! 🤩 Always love your content Kayla!
I kind of winged (wung?) both! If I develop a solid recipe I will share! I’m so bad at that I just throw random things in a bowl and hope for the best lol
You should check out the flavor enhancers and preservatives in that sauce you used on the salad it could of been 635 or 627, 631, yeast protein or hydrolysed vegetable protein or msg 621 and some have a E in front of them, they can cause a rash or hives.
I have celiac and get violently sick if I have any gluten. I am very careful about reading labels and cross contamination but I'm still bloated and I've gained a lot of weight. It's very depressing and expensive. I've started intermittent fasting to see if that helps. My thought process was maybe I'm just having trouble digesting like gastroparesis so I stop eating after 6pm to give my body enough time to digest before I go to bed and it did seem to help at first but not so much now.
You're right. It is a good idea to see if a person is sensitive to gluten before cutting it out. I found out that since having my gallbladder removed, I have more food sensitivities and intolerances. Gluten is one of them. I hope you continue to feel better.
@saka543 It took me a while to figure it out, but I would say it was a few months. I have a dairy allergy and a sensitivity to eggs before surgery. After surgery, my body is sensitive to gluten, soy, and fat. I can eat certain types with minor reactions and others I have to completely avoid unless I was to look 9 months pregnant, throw up, and/or have diarrhoea. I couldn't eat any kind of fat for the first year and a half. Now I can eat some fat from seeds, and light oil, but I can't eat peanut nuts at all. I recently found out I am sensitive to almonds and pistachios nuts. I haven't had my gallbladder for almost 10 years now.
Well Done, not many people would challenge themselves to go as far as you have! Non Celiac Gluten sensitivity (NCGS) is a huge problem with no definitive diagnosis like Celiac, so to cut out your favourite foods, extremely well done! Hope your still with it as the list of issues this causes is very very long as you get older. Edit, can i ask if you are still GF? cheers
How did u do it. Can u suggest a cookbook or any books to read. I was just told to do sugar free, grain free, gluten free and dairy free. I have no idea where to start. Thank you for any help
I have celiac disease and get the gnarliest rash if I eat gluten. Also feels like someone is stabbing my stomach lol. Luckily gf alternatives are really good these days.
LOVE your channel so much! I love your personality in your videos! Thank you so much for doing these 30 day challenges! They are so helpful. Sometimes after watching a video you made about a certain diet or routine I find myself trying it out as well. I've tried the jump rope challenge and running challenge. I am thinking about trying to go gluten free. My mom always said that I might be allergic but I never saw any symptoms so I didn't take action. Overall, amazing content and a great perspective on things. Sending lots of love! 🥰🤩😍
You said at the beggining that pasta made you feel bad and bloated so i think you may be intolerant and thats why you felt better, because theres no scientific fact thats says that a gluten free diet its better. Of course im not a doctor :) Im glad you feel better 🩵🩵🩵

I just had a celiac test and it was negative but I always feel yucky after I eat it. Could I just be intolerant?
Oh also it was blood work 😅
@rachkataryna1222 the blood test checks for intolerance, if it's positive and really high, then they send you for a biopsy to check if it's celiac. In your case if you werent eating gf you may have had a false negative, or it's just something that doesn't agree with you even if it's not a true intolerance
@wrenfan not quite sure what you mean? You were properly diagnosed but wish you had just been told to go GF sooner?
@wrenfan ya I totally hear where you are coming from, especially since you went through so much unnecessary suffering. However times are different now and I find people are being told they are celiac without actually being confirmed. And if they aren't, it's a lot of suffering (such as not being able to go to certain restaurants, extra stress etc) that could be avoided.
I always feel better when I scale back on gluten. I still include it in my diet, but not much. Because...there are some items that have gluten that I love and there is no replacement...in my opinion. HA HA HA!! Honestly I have none or to very minimal of my symptoms now that I just limit gluten.
I know multiple people from the US who are gluten sensitive there and not here in Europe (depending on processing level).
This! I’m in the US and my whole family is sensitive to gluten. When I visited Ireland, I had zero issues!
Because here in America they spray our foods
And when gluten intolerant Americans travel abroad to Europe they can eat the gluten foods without problems.... 🧐
Love this Kayla, I relate to the rash! Having Hashimotos Thyroiditis, I'm gluten, dairy & goitrogen intolerant. Gluten inflames my entire body & changes my mood, though soy is my true kryptonite. Having clarity on food sensitivity is a game changer, so best of luck with the testing ❤
I have Hashimotos and gluten intolerance as well! It makes me not able to leave the br and makes me so tired and achy feeling
Nice! Hope this helps to heal your gut ❤I did a mistake once doing a month gluten free and then testing for celiac antibodies ( apparently one needs to add gluten to produce them if there is an issue).

Sorry about your car accident! So glad you are ok!

Some folks are having luck with all meat diets. Perhaps an idea of you don't figure it out.
My pet bird started chirping when he heard that toy at 3:36😂
I also LOVE the green cabinets
Those breakfast sandwiches looked so yummy, I gotta give em a try
Thank you for this video. It was so helpful.
You're right. It is a good idea to see if a person is sensitive to gluten before cutting it out.
I found out that since having my gallbladder removed, I have more food sensitivities and intolerances. Gluten is one of them.
I hope you continue to feel better.
I had my gallbladder removed too. How long did it take for sensitivities and intolerances to appear after the surgery?

Going Gluten, Grain, and processed sugar FREE did wonders 😋
How did u do it. Can u suggest a cookbook or any books to read. I was just told to do sugar free, grain free, gluten free and dairy free. I have no idea where to start. Thank you for any help
omg im totally going to make that dressing!!!
Did you avoid rice? I thought that was gluten-free but you used the hearts a palm riced version...
I love the made good products and simple mills. First time trying no Gluten. I have psoriasis elbows only.
I cannot find most of the stuff you found.We don't have really good stores where i am.
You know all natural rice is gluten free, white brown, wild. Processed you may need to check. Lovely to see you 😊
I have celiac disease and get the gnarliest rash if I eat gluten. Also feels like someone is stabbing my stomach lol. Luckily gf alternatives are really good these days.
Where did you get your bowls from?
I super appreciate that you did the challenge for a full month - it gives us a more well rounded review! Thanks!
they make gluten free Oreos from the Oreo brand now!
I like your diet video's😉🌷
I think it might be the peach thats giving you that rash! I also got it a few weeks ago
Omgg i literally love you i cant believe you live un north carolinaaa
Fantastic video
they say rice and corn is not gluten free im so confused
Sounds like you have a gluten sensitivity. Great experiment to find out if you possibly have a gluten sensitivity or allergy👍😊
3:04 where is your sweatshirt from?
It’s just a Hanes crewneck! Got it at Walmart lol.
@@kayla.nelson looks great what color is that? Can you find it on Amazon?

This may be a big ask but I’m interested in the carnivore diet. I don’t know if it’s nutritionally safe but I keep seeing Tik Toks about it

Did I just spot a hickey on you 🙈?
It’s a birthmark in a very unfortunate place lol

Im glad you feel better 🩵🩵🩵
Yes! I mention at the end of the video my doctor thinks I may have an intolerance or an allergy to gluten. We shall see!
