I had such a similar experience!! going to the dr multiple times, being tested for everything and having them tell me i was fine when i wasn’t, i’ve only recently been two months into my gluten-free journey and it has already changed my life miraculously! after years and years of struggling! loved your video! 💕
Isn't it the most frustrating thing?! I'm so glad you're on the other side of it! Your life is gonna be changed for the better 💗 Thank you so much! & thanks for watching :)
I'm 38 and was finally diagnosed with Celiac disease last August. I can't have gluten, milk, soy, etc. I have other food allergies as well. I'm so thankful that I was able to finally get some answers. I have osteoarthritis and major joint issues as a result. My teeth have also been affected by this awful disease. It is very stressful trying to make sure you aren't ingesting gluten. I'm so glad that the headaches are better, the diarrhea isn't as often and the horrible stomach pains have also gotten better. I'm glad you were able to get answers.
I’m 5 days into trying to be gluten free, since my doctor told me to try that and see if it helps. It’s been a really horrible few months trying to figure out what it was or could be. I’ve felt really depressed and anxious about it not getting better recently and not being able to explain to my loved one how I felt. Your video has given 1. Light at the end of the tunnel that it gets better and 2. A way to explain to my family and friends how I’m feeling. Thank you so much for sharing your experience, and giving people a place to know other people have gone through it, and it just takes time. ❤️
Sounds very similar to my story. It can be so isolating and exhausting. I hope you begin to find relief. I am so glad this video brought you some peace ❤️ You're gonna be feeling amazing!
You’re lucky you were able to figure this out fairly quickly. I thought it was Celiac or nothing. So when I was told 9 years ago I was not Celiac I just kept getting different tests over the years, seriously fearing I had cancer at some points. Finally I started reading into gluten intolerance and reluctantly gave up gluten 8 months ago and it’s a world of difference! BUT, so expensive!!! That is my biggest gripe. If I didn’t feel so much better, I would go back bc it costs so much more and it is hard to eat with other people. Especially holidays.
I went through the exact thing! I 100% believed I had some type of undiagnosed cancer. It's an absolutely terrifying and isolating feeling. THAT'S AMAZING! Good for you!! It definitely is more expensive when it comes to GF bread, flour, pasta, etc. Eating out with people has gotten way easier over the years. So many restaurants have GF options. Even if they don't have a bread substitute or pizza crust, etc. It gets MUCH easier making modifications. You'll know what to look for on menus and at the store. My first year was extremely difficult, I felt like I couldn't eat anything. But I promise you, you will get the hang of it!
I searched for this video because earlier today I came to this realization. I had felt so ill for a couple of years. I used to be so much kore energetic and feel like I could do things like work out and do cleaning on the same week, let alone same day. I could make art AND have some social time. But, I went through some tough traumatic times after highschool, maintained through college but increased drastic escalation of ptsd symptoms, anxiety, and was diagnosed finally with clinical depression, and fairly late ADHD diagnosis- so Ive been convinced that this was nothing more then a mind over matter thing. idk how many times I said to myself 'why is my entire body feeling this way but its also in my head' not being able to explain to people what im experiencing but "I just CANT" heaviness, tingly, unable to keep a rrain of thought, and just terrible pain in all my limbs and into my hips and shoulders. but like tolerable enough, I get through days, forget about it sometimes... ive been feeling better receny mentally with the right antidepressant, regular ADD treatment,and a great therapist... but my pain has just made it increasingly more difficult for me to move around and as its always been - so so fatigued and exhausted. I started feeling periodically faint and heavy brain fog, new skin hair nail problems made me get to my limit like THIS ISNT NORMAL. I thought maybe its Lyme. you could see similarities here. I got bloodwork done for several diseased RA, Lyme and other tickborne illness, thyroid. The results came a happy phonecall saying "Good news, its all negative!" It did not feel like good news at the time. I wanted answers- Ive been searching to feel like myself for YEARS. I want to work out, have sex, decorate my house, go to yoga, and not be an irriable sadsack. I think this is it. Or if its not all of it, it is exasturbating other small issues. I know that elimination gluten has helped so many people with painful conditions and mental illness, so, I just cut it out for the last week and did have some success. I felt pretty okay, which is huge, such relief. Until today at my pizzabar shift, I was really hungry. I ate a slice. I feel so shit right now. But a simple precautionary dietary shift proved to be a successful experiment. I didn't know how rough my baseline has been, everyones' lives have been tough the last 3 years. I think this is it.
While you wouldn't want to get bad news, no news is almost worse! It's like, okay cool all the tests are negative- so what's wrong with me?! I'm so sorry you have gone through such a difficult time. I truly believe what we put into our bodies effects not just our physical health but so much of our mental health. I have often heard people say our "second brain" is located in our gut, which is pretty interesting when you think about it. My diet has completely changed my life so I hope the same can happen for you and you find some relief very soon. xx
Thanks so much for sharing. I connected with you. I had problems for years and got tested from everything under the sun except Gluten. After test, this past fall I started the gluten free journey. Benefits are so amazing my mind is crystal clear and I have so much energy.
I have been fighting with the same symptoms for the last 5 years and now realise that I am gluten intolerant. The icky feeling and the constant pain and nausea is just so debilitating. Didn't know that it took so long to clear from the system. I will keep going. It is expensive especially where I am from. I am from Antigua, a 108 sq miles island in the middle of the Caribbean
I hope you find relief soon!! I know it seems like a lot but remember that you can still eat all meat, veggies, fruit & rice. Gluten free bread and pastas can get to be a lot so I usually enjoy them in moderation. it adds up for sure. But it's becoming more accessible so hopefully the prices get more reasonable. xx
So sorry for your loss, I firmly believe we see our loved ones again in some form otherwise none of this would make any sense. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
@@TrulyJamie it already has. After day 1 my stool went back to normal. It had been abnormal for sooo long. I’m so grateful. There will be no chest days. There is no point. It’s not worth it and there are so many other options. So grateful for you authentic message.
@@LevelUpWithMe1111 it’s so true! It’s simply not worth it, congrats for taking the step to better your life! 💛 Thank you for watching I’m glad you found the vid ☺️
I also had a very similar experience. I could eat gluten for much of my life but then I switched my diet away from gluten just to have more vegetables and legumes and after a few years I could not tolerate gluten. It made me feel so sick and awful. I don't know if I am gluten-intolerant or have celiac disease, but either way, I must totally avoid gluten to be healthy. Nice to hear that I am not the only one with this experience.
So many of us are in the same boat! In reality, we are lucky to have figured out what bothers us :) I feel terrible for those struggling to find what's affecting their health, it's a dark place to be.
I had a similar experience i think its because you changed your diet. I stop eating wheat for a year and a bit when i tried to go back it gave me a whole load of problems. They say if its not broken dnt try fix it
I think it’s interesting that when people know you are changing your diet to improve your health, they inevitably try to convince you to regress to the old habits that made you feel like you needed to change your diet in the first place.
I've spent most of of life with most of these common symptoms. Everytime I went to my doctor and told him he brushed it off. I started eliminating gassy foods myself and it helped but not to much. Finally he gave me a good tolerance test and my body can't tolerate wheat and peanuts. I'm shocked, never thought it would be wheat. Now I'm trying to change what I eat. Your videos are definitely helping me find new foods.
Sadly it seems most doctors don't take food intolerances very seriously. Unless you have Celiac disease or a severe allergy they don't even consider it a factor. Your lucky to have discovered what your issue is, I hope you start to feel amazing! :)
Wow, ALL of the visits, bloodwork, etc to the doctor is MY STORY too.... I'm 3 days in a gluten free lifestyle change and I'm really hoping it works. I've been feeling the exact same time of sick that you've explained FOR YEARSSSS!!
Your life will be CHANGED! You have to give it time. I can’t tell you how many times I tried to go gluten free and gave it up because I was feeling the exact same and I thought it wasn’t working. It takes a while to start to feel normal but it’s soo worth it to stick with it!
@@TrulyJamie thank you for that reminder! I did it once for a month! Going to keep at it. I’m already dairy free, so fingers crossed & prayers up that this will be a breeze(ish) haha. Thank you though!!
Im crying watching this video!!!! I lost my dad last January to covid. In June i became really chronically ill. Vomiting everyday. I just got tested for celiac today. I know in my heart this is what is it. Ive been to so many doctors asking for EVERY blood test but no one has done gluten!!! I keep being prescribed anti depressants like what! Hoping i find answers soooo glad ur doing better!!!
I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss. There's no pain like losing a parent. I pray you can find relief soon and hopefully this diet is the start of something amazing for you. 💛
@@TrulyJamie thank you so much! Im so, so deeply sorry for your loss too! Horrible. Because of the timing every doctor was like oh youre just grieving itll get better here take this pill youre depressed like NOOOO im not. Ugh! Thank you!!!
thank you so much for this video. i am currently empiercing the EXACT same symptoms you've listed here. been consuming so much gluten unintentionally. avoided it for an entire day and instantly felt a lot better. so i'm going to stick to this forever and hopefully i get back to feeling normal again!
Im 24 and i haven’t live a day without stomach pain, I get sick often and I don’t have energy, I’ve live like this my whole life. Idk if I have gluten intolerance but I started a gluten free diet today, I hope it works because every time I go to the doctors they say I’m fine but I don’t have energy, can’t eat without feeling bad. Also I have spent 12 hours without eating at work because if I do eat I would feel horrible and I have to leave because I wasn’t eating and I felt so fatigued that I couldn’t even take a shower when I got home. I hope this works, if it does my life would literally change. 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
I’m going through this now! I’ve had issues with diarrhea for 4 years. Ugh. It’s to the point where almost everything I eat makes me sick within an hour. I’ve had 3 separate celiac blood panels run (all negative), food allergy tests run (also negative), a colonoscopy and endoscopy and all they could tell me was it must be IBS. I also have 3 other autoimmune conditions, and it’s a common condition with one of them. So I got sick of being sick with no help from doctors, so I sent in a food sensitivities test posted online and it came back to avoid gluten, dairy, apples, corn, mushrooms, several kinds of fish, nuts, oils, seeds, etc. I found this out May 7, 2022 and have been trying extremely hard to stick to it tor the last 9 weeks. I can already tell when I avoid those items, I do not get sick. When I either know I ate something, or possibly did, I do get sick. It’s a definite learning curve especially with all the things I need to avoid, but it will be worth it in the long run to feel much better!
So similar to my story!! I swear my actual doctors barely helped me. If you aren't celiac they don't even acknowledge that you could possibly still have an intolerance. I had to take matters into my own hands just like you did. I hope you begin to find even more relief! ❤️
@@TrulyJamie Thank you! When I first mentioned my “online test” my Dr of over 30 years got mad at me for trusting a test I found on the internet. I wanted to say “you and 2 other doctors and the tests you’ve done for the last FOUR years hasn’t helped me!” But I didn’t say what I wanted to!
This sounds exactly like me. I am tired all the time!! Literally last weekend I got 10hrs of sleep and was still exhausted in the middle of the day, even tho all I did was relax. I am also always constantly bloated and have stomach problems.
hi - I had gnawing stomach pain, reflux, oesophagus pain , stomach pressure and discomfort.... maybe functional dyspepsia rather than celiac .... I have stopped gluten and already feeling the benefits.... good luck to all feeling better 🌼🌷🌸 edit: great video - really helpful
I actually was diagnosed with celiac when I was 7 or 8 I believed changed my diet for awhile and went back to eating gluten foods and everything. Of course there were times where I'd feel bad but just kept eating it. I got through middle and high school just fine. Once I reached college it just took a huge toll on me. Idk why or how but I just started eating less and less slowly and started seeing my weight slowly declining. I became underweight and I just learned to accept it but now I'm tired of just accepting it. So I went to the doctor almost a week ago and told them about it and had mentioned I was diagnosed with celiac disease as a kid. They did some bloodwork on me because the doctor mentioned it could be a problem with my thyroid for my weight loss and low energy and weak appetite as well. I'm thinking of going on a gluten free diet to see if it'll help my situation
You definitely should do it! Celiac can cause many health issues as you're finding out if you don't acclimate to a certain diet. I promise it will become second nature and so normal for your life to be gluten free once you adapt :) I wish you the very best! Feel better soon
I felt like you were telling my story. I have had so many medical bills over the years and they all come back fine. It’s so confusing. Day 2 gluten free. I tried this awhile back for a few weeks, but I’m going to go until mid June.
Just thought I'd let you know since you were trying this again that some people who are intolerant to wheat are also intolerant to grains in general. Just something to think about in case giving up wheat wasn't enough for you.
So glad I found your channel and this video. Just last week i discovered that I am off the chart gluten intolerant. After years and years of stomach issues and other problems finally a possible answer. You are right, there are so many options now, unfortunately I also tested intolerant to 20 other items--including eggs, beef, pork, tomatoes...and the list continues. So many GF breaded items contain eggs. I will figure it all out but boy didn't plan on this. The dr. feels these items could be contributing to my leaky gut. We will do 6 weeks eliminating all the items (still fighting the coffee LOL) and see where I am at. She told me I will need to be GF for the remainder of my life--unless I enjoy feeling like sh*t, Looking forward to going back and watching all your GF videos (and others). Thanks for encouraging me on this journey.
Oh wow! I know its all extremely intimidating, especially along with all of your other intolerances, I can't even imagine. But I promise you once you start feeling better it will all be sooo worth it. I didn't even realize just had terrible I felt until I started feeling normal Good luck
@@jthomas8346 there is. Celias disease, wheat allergy and gluten intolerance all three are horrible, celiac disease is when gluten ruins the intestines and can cause cancer. Wheat allergy is a food allergy and be deadly, gluten intolerance is painful but doesn't cause a severe reaction like celiac or allergy
Great video, I'm a few days into gluten free life and had literally the same symptoms/issues as you aside from the nausea...even down to the doctor telling me nothing is wrong!
Thank you for this video! Very helpful! Have not been tested yet, but I've kept a food diary for a few months and noticed I was always lethargic and tired after eating foods with gluten - taking it out for a week or two and noting any changes
I can totally relate to this! I lost my mom to breast cancer and 2 of her sisters have had breast cancer too. It has given me severe health anxiety and I feel like every ailment is undiagnosed cancer. But my doctors won’t take me seriously and check me for anything other than just breast cancer. I just went sugar, dairy, and gluten free starting last Wednesday so I’m really hoping to see some results.
I completely understand. It’s so hard.. You convince yourself that you’re next. Such a difficult way to live your life. I would leave doctors appts thing they FOR SURE missed something and have definitely believed I had multiple types of undiagnosed cancer. I hope you can find some relief soon and work your way out of that head space 🙏🏼 one thing that worked for me was to stop googling symptoms. It had sent me down a spiral every single time that led to nothing but fear and anxiety. It really helps to stay away from that.
Hi! Thank you so much for this video! I can relate to a lot of your symptoms. I’m tired literally every day and I have horrible brain fog. I have anxiety every day and sometimes I feel depressed. The doctors said everything was pretty normal except my iron being a bit low. This is my third day being gluten free. I REALLY hope it works. I have already seen improvement in my digestion, hopefully it clears my other symptoms.
Recently, I just found out that I had a sensitivity to gluten with blood tests that my doctor performed for me. I knew something was wrong and I told her that I would have diarrhea and bad nausea after eating certain things. At first, I thought it was eggs because I didn't feel bad after eating a McChicken from McDonald's. But after eating that McChicken, I would have constipation for a few days to a week then suddenly I would have diarrhea. I requested a food allergy test from my doctor and she's so good with me, she got that test scheduled for me with my regular thyroid panel blood test. We went over the results and so I cut out gluten and bread altogether and have been feeling much better. There have been a couple times where I had diarrhea and that's when I ingested some flour and the second time I felt so much nausea I thought I was going to throw up and some slight diarrhea..I thought I didn't really eat anything with gluten but I think Jimmy Dean's breakfast sausage has some sort of cross contamination, but idk exactly. Anyway, next thing my doctor will do is give me a celiac test. Also, I'm happy to have found you and listened to your story. I agree that people look down on others for going gluten free. My grandma does especially. And honestly I'm scared to even let her know about it..
I'm so sorry to hear you have had such a rough go. It can be so isolating... I hope you are able to find relief soon My advice would be so word it more about having a "wheat allergy" or a "gluten intolerance" I think it helps people understand more that it's a medical choice and not just a personal one. Hope that helps, I wish you well
You guys forgot to mention the itchiness that comes from gluten intolerance. My scalp was itchy for years, i thought it was my shampoo. Stopped eating gluten, soy, and grains and the itching completely stopped
Great Video! Did you stay away from Dairy while you went Gluten-Free when you started? I've started my journey 3 weeks ago and seeing results. I just had a setback with too much dairy so I think I'll be going Dairy Free for a while.
I did at first but realized that wasn’t my issue so I put all my focus on going gluten free! You may have a sensitivity to dairy as well Thanks for watching 💛
I read that people with gluten intolerance can SEEM to be lactose intolerant because the gluten is actually damaging your stomach and stomach acids and making you struggle to process lactose so often people who go gluten free can discover they process dairy better ☺️☺️☺️☺️
I’m so sorry for the loss of your mother 🫶🏽😭 I lost my dad about a year ago and it’s been the worst. Would love to hear more about your grief journey 💜💜💜
I have similar symptoms and the doctors keep saying there’s nothing wrong. Along with that I also have keratosis pilaris. I’m going to try to go gluten free and hopefully figure out what’s happening.
I also feel that same way, I see wheat and I don't care to have it. I see it an my enemy. But I do know people who have to gluten free and hang on to so much anger
That is totally dependent on how your body handles it and how severe/moderate your gluten sensitivity is. I have heard that sourdough is the best bread to have. I personally never eat any gluten, not even on occasion because it will bother me for a very long time and just isn't worth it.
I have a felling that I have a gluten intolerance just because after I eat bread and pasta mainly that I have overwhelming amounts of anxiety and I have headaches every day and my symptoms are never all the same
That's mad as well as the Mum thing I have just ordered some sourdough bread which is gluten free this is also my favourite bread but I'm happy I can get gluten-free sourdough bread happy days
@@kaylinburchette575 it definitely takes time! You should stick with it for a bit. It changed my life! Which you could assume based on the video title 😂
You gotta do what you think is best but I would suggest it! I think if it’s just a mild sensitivity right now the chances of it getting worse in the future is a possibility. Also wheat gluten is the most common gluten. Wheat flour is in most products that are in many gluten containing products. Barely & rye are less common ingredients
No I don’t.. i find that it may bother me a bit if i have too much just because it’s so heavy and my stomach is sensitive but not to the point where I can’t have it here and there
Good morning, pretty Jamie. so glad to talk with you! This is Sami working for stylish glasses company! I like your videos so much! We wish to collaborate with you! May I know is it possible for us to collaborate with you ?
When you’re gluten intolerant you can’t have any but of gluten. You’re not even supposed to eat foods made it factories with non gluten free foods because of cross contamination. If you’re someone who just tries to avoid it here & there but you still eat it occasionally, sourdough is great. But not if you’re allergic
Yes, that's something I forgot to answer. I lost almost 20 lbs. It was drastic at first but my body started to get used to the diet and my weight remained the same. I also think I lost a lot of weight because I was mainly eating really clean- I didn't have a ton of GF bread and stuff like that. Was mainly eating protiens and veggies.

I think it’s interesting that when people know you are changing your diet to improve your health, they inevitably try to convince you to regress to the old habits that made you feel like you needed to change your diet in the first place.
AMEN! I have been saying this. Nobody judges the person who eats mcdonalds everyday, but someone who improves their health gets teased. It's ludicrous
I've spent most of of life with most of these common symptoms. Everytime I went to my doctor and told him he brushed it off. I started eliminating gassy foods myself and it helped but not to much. Finally he gave me a good tolerance test and my body can't tolerate wheat and peanuts. I'm shocked, never thought it would be wheat. Now I'm trying to change what I eat. Your videos are definitely helping me find new foods.
Sadly it seems most doctors don't take food intolerances very seriously. Unless you have Celiac disease or a severe allergy they don't even consider it a factor. Your lucky to have discovered what your issue is, I hope you start to feel amazing! :)
Wow, ALL of the visits, bloodwork, etc to the doctor is MY STORY too.... I'm 3 days in a gluten free lifestyle change and I'm really hoping it works. I've been feeling the exact same time of sick that you've explained FOR YEARSSSS!!
Your life will be CHANGED! You have to give it time. I can’t tell you how many times I tried to go gluten free and gave it up because I was feeling the exact same and I thought it wasn’t working. It takes a while to start to feel normal but it’s soo worth it to stick with it!
@@TrulyJamie thank you for that reminder! I did it once for a month! Going to keep at it. I’m already dairy free, so fingers crossed & prayers up that this will be a breeze(ish) haha. Thank you though!!
Thank you for the encouraging words❤🙏 I am 1,5 week in and getting really used to this life style change!
It's gonna be soo worth it!! Thank you so much for watching :)
Im crying watching this video!!!! I lost my dad last January to covid. In June i became really chronically ill. Vomiting everyday. I just got tested for celiac today. I know in my heart this is what is it. Ive been to so many doctors asking for EVERY blood test but no one has done gluten!!! I keep being prescribed anti depressants like what! Hoping i find answers soooo glad ur doing better!!!
I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss. There's no pain like losing a parent. I pray you can find relief soon and hopefully this diet is the start of something amazing for you. 💛
@@TrulyJamie thank you so much! Im so, so deeply sorry for your loss too! Horrible. Because of the timing every doctor was like oh youre just grieving itll get better here take this pill youre depressed like NOOOO im not. Ugh! Thank you!!!
Your make-up is GORGEOUS and you have beautiful skin.
Aw thank you so so much!! x
thank you so much for this video. i am currently empiercing the EXACT same symptoms you've listed here. been consuming so much gluten unintentionally. avoided it for an entire day and instantly felt a lot better. so i'm going to stick to this forever and hopefully i get back to feeling normal again!
I am so glad you found this video! It can be so incredibly isolating to deal with undiagnosed health issues. I pray you're on your way to relief!!
Hey, are you still gluten free? Curious to see how you’re feeling!!
Im 24 and i haven’t live a day without stomach pain, I get sick often and I don’t have energy, I’ve live like this my whole life. Idk if I have gluten intolerance but I started a gluten free diet today, I hope it works because every time I go to the doctors they say I’m fine but I don’t have energy, can’t eat without feeling bad. Also I have spent 12 hours without eating at work because if I do eat I would feel horrible and I have to leave because I wasn’t eating and I felt so fatigued that I couldn’t even take a shower when I got home.
I hope this works, if it does my life would literally change.
🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
Sorry for my English, it is my second language
I'm so sorry you're going through this! It can be so isolating. I wish you the best and hope you are able to find relief very soon. Xx
I’m going through this now! I’ve had issues with diarrhea for 4 years. Ugh. It’s to the point where almost everything I eat makes me sick within an hour. I’ve had 3 separate celiac blood panels run (all negative), food allergy tests run (also negative), a colonoscopy and endoscopy and all they could tell me was it must be IBS. I also have 3 other autoimmune conditions, and it’s a common condition with one of them. So I got sick of being sick with no help from doctors, so I sent in a food sensitivities test posted online and it came back to avoid gluten, dairy, apples, corn, mushrooms, several kinds of fish, nuts, oils, seeds, etc. I found this out May 7, 2022 and have been trying extremely hard to stick to it tor the last 9 weeks. I can already tell when I avoid those items, I do not get sick. When I either know I ate something, or possibly did, I do get sick. It’s a definite learning curve especially with all the things I need to avoid, but it will be worth it in the long run to feel much better!
So similar to my story!! I swear my actual doctors barely helped me. If you aren't celiac they don't even acknowledge that you could possibly still have an intolerance. I had to take matters into my own hands just like you did. I hope you begin to find even more relief! ❤️
@@TrulyJamie Thank you! When I first mentioned my “online test” my Dr of over 30 years got mad at me for trusting a test I found on the internet. I wanted to say “you and 2 other doctors and the tests you’ve done for the last FOUR years hasn’t helped me!” But I didn’t say what I wanted to!
This sounds exactly like me. I am tired all the time!! Literally last weekend I got 10hrs of sleep and was still exhausted in the middle of the day, even tho all I did was relax. I am also always constantly bloated and have stomach problems.
Urgh that is the worst! I'd say extreme fatigue was my #1 symptom.
@@TrulyJamie yea it absolutely sucks. I took a food sensitivity/intolerance test so hopefully it can point me in the right direction
hi - I had gnawing stomach pain, reflux, oesophagus pain , stomach pressure and discomfort.... maybe functional dyspepsia rather than celiac .... I have stopped gluten and already feeling the benefits.... good luck to all feeling better 🌼🌷🌸
edit: great video - really helpful
That is soo amazing!! Congratulations 👏🏼💛
Nice! How long to feel better? Did you Still consume dairy?
I actually was diagnosed with celiac when I was 7 or 8 I believed changed my diet for awhile and went back to eating gluten foods and everything. Of course there were times where I'd feel bad but just kept eating it. I got through middle and high school just fine. Once I reached college it just took a huge toll on me. Idk why or how but I just started eating less and less slowly and started seeing my weight slowly declining. I became underweight and I just learned to accept it but now I'm tired of just accepting it. So I went to the doctor almost a week ago and told them about it and had mentioned I was diagnosed with celiac disease as a kid. They did some bloodwork on me because the doctor mentioned it could be a problem with my thyroid for my weight loss and low energy and weak appetite as well. I'm thinking of going on a gluten free diet to see if it'll help my situation
You definitely should do it! Celiac can cause many health issues as you're finding out if you don't acclimate to a certain diet. I promise it will become second nature and so normal for your life to be gluten free once you adapt :) I wish you the very best! Feel better soon
I felt like you were telling my story. I have had so many medical bills over the years and they all come back fine. It’s so confusing. Day 2 gluten free. I tried this awhile back for a few weeks, but I’m going to go until mid June.
Urgh, I totally relate. And the worst part is that it feels SO isolating. Hope you get some relief!! 🙏🏼💛
Just thought I'd let you know since you were trying this again that some people who are intolerant to wheat are also intolerant to grains in general. Just something to think about in case giving up wheat wasn't enough for you.
Been gf since nov 2020 no more bloat, migraines, diarrhea, anxiety, panic attacks, joint pain.
So amazing to hear!!
You didn’t leave not one topic out that i would be concerned about in this video. I’m definitely subscribing 😂 so detailed and convincing
I'm so glad! Thank you
So glad I found your channel and this video. Just last week i discovered that I am off the chart gluten intolerant. After years and years of stomach issues and other problems finally a possible answer. You are right, there are so many options now, unfortunately I also tested intolerant to 20 other items--including eggs, beef, pork, tomatoes...and the list continues. So many GF breaded items contain eggs. I will figure it all out but boy didn't plan on this. The dr. feels these items could be contributing to my leaky gut. We will do 6 weeks eliminating all the items (still fighting the coffee LOL) and see where I am at. She told me I will need to be GF for the remainder of my life--unless I enjoy feeling like sh*t, Looking forward to going back and watching all your GF videos (and others). Thanks for encouraging me on this journey.
Oh wow! I know its all extremely intimidating, especially along with all of your other intolerances, I can't even imagine. But I promise you once you start feeling better it will all be sooo worth it. I didn't even realize just had terrible I felt until I started feeling normal
Good luck
I'm new. Found out I'm allergic to wheat 4 months ago. Still learning. It's hard but I keep pushing
It will be sooo worth it 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I was watching a video and i heard gluten intolerance is different to wheat allergy be careful wheat allergy is worse than gluten intolerance
@@jthomas8346 there is. Celias disease, wheat allergy and gluten intolerance all three are horrible, celiac disease is when gluten ruins the intestines and can cause cancer. Wheat allergy is a food allergy and be deadly, gluten intolerance is painful but doesn't cause a severe reaction like celiac or allergy
Hi Jaime, I lost my mom to cancer too and I totally undesrtand taking your health more serious
I’m sorry about your mom. It’s definitely the way it affected me the most!
I just found out I am gluten intolerant . This is the beginning of my new lifestyle. Thank you for this :)
Best of luck to you!!! 💛👏🏼
Great video, I'm a few days into gluten free life and had literally the same symptoms/issues as you aside from the nausea...even down to the doctor telling me nothing is wrong!
It can be soo frustrating!! I hope you find some relief.
Thank you for this video! Very helpful! Have not been tested yet, but I've kept a food diary for a few months and noticed I was always lethargic and tired after eating foods with gluten - taking it out for a week or two and noting any changes
I hope you can begin to see a difference in your health!
I can totally relate to this! I lost my mom to breast cancer and 2 of her sisters have had breast cancer too. It has given me severe health anxiety and I feel like every ailment is undiagnosed cancer. But my doctors won’t take me seriously and check me for anything other than just breast cancer.
I just went sugar, dairy, and gluten free starting last Wednesday so I’m really hoping to see some results.
I completely understand. It’s so hard.. You convince yourself that you’re next. Such a difficult way to live your life. I would leave doctors appts thing they FOR SURE missed something and have definitely believed I had multiple types of undiagnosed cancer. I hope you can find some relief soon and work your way out of that head space 🙏🏼 one thing that worked for me was to stop googling symptoms. It had sent me down a spiral every single time that led to nothing but fear and anxiety. It really helps to stay away from that.
Hi! Thank you so much for this video! I can relate to a lot of your symptoms. I’m tired literally every day and I have horrible brain fog. I have anxiety every day and sometimes I feel depressed. The doctors said everything was pretty normal except my iron being a bit low. This is my third day being gluten free. I REALLY hope it works. I have already seen improvement in my digestion, hopefully it clears my other symptoms.
I promise you it will get better! Just stick with it for a while and feel the benefits keep coming. I wish you the best!!
Thank you! I’m a little over a week in and I already feel a little better 😃
this was SO HELPFUL! thank you thank you thank you
Thank you so much! Good luck xx
I'm Wheat , Gluten and Lactose free and with a noticeable improvement in overall health and well-being...😊
So glad!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It is very inspirational and has helped me as I am beginning the
GF journey!
Aww I am so glad! thank you so much!!
Recently, I just found out that I had a sensitivity to gluten with blood tests that my doctor performed for me. I knew something was wrong and I told her that I would have diarrhea and bad nausea after eating certain things. At first, I thought it was eggs because I didn't feel bad after eating a McChicken from McDonald's. But after eating that McChicken, I would have constipation for a few days to a week then suddenly I would have diarrhea. I requested a food allergy test from my doctor and she's so good with me, she got that test scheduled for me with my regular thyroid panel blood test. We went over the results and so I cut out gluten and bread altogether and have been feeling much better. There have been a couple times where I had diarrhea and that's when I ingested some flour and the second time I felt so much nausea I thought I was going to throw up and some slight diarrhea..I thought I didn't really eat anything with gluten but I think Jimmy Dean's breakfast sausage has some sort of cross contamination, but idk exactly. Anyway, next thing my doctor will do is give me a celiac test. Also, I'm happy to have found you and listened to your story. I agree that people look down on others for going gluten free. My grandma does especially. And honestly I'm scared to even let her know about it..
I'm so sorry to hear you have had such a rough go. It can be so isolating... I hope you are able to find relief soon
My advice would be so word it more about having a "wheat allergy" or a "gluten intolerance" I think it helps people understand more that it's a medical choice and not just a personal one. Hope that helps, I wish you well
@@TrulyJamie thank you so much!
Thanks so much for the amazing video. You have really inspired me . I've been gluten free 3 days
Thank you for watching!! 🤍
omg i had no idea it took 3 months!! Im literally 4 days in hahaha
Yes stick with it girl!! It's worth it!
For sum ppl it tooks only 2 days to see the result..i guess its different for ppl to ppl
Thank you for this information 😊
This was such a great video. Thank you for sharing. Just subbed😊
Thank you so much :)
Thank you. Brilliant video
You guys forgot to mention the itchiness that comes from gluten intolerance. My scalp was itchy for years, i thought it was my shampoo. Stopped eating gluten, soy, and grains and the itching completely stopped
Great Video! Did you stay away from Dairy while you went Gluten-Free when you started? I've started my journey 3 weeks ago and seeing results. I just had a setback with too much dairy so I think I'll be going Dairy Free for a while.
I did at first but realized that wasn’t my issue so I put all my focus on going gluten free! You may have a sensitivity to dairy as well
Thanks for watching 💛
I read that people with gluten intolerance can SEEM to be lactose intolerant because the gluten is actually damaging your stomach and stomach acids and making you struggle to process lactose so often people who go gluten free can discover they process dairy better ☺️☺️☺️☺️
I’m so sorry for the loss of your mother 🫶🏽😭 I lost my dad about a year ago and it’s been the worst. Would love to hear more about your grief journey 💜💜💜
Urgh, I am so sorry. Losing a parent is one of the worst heartbreaks. Sending you so much love
Early Comment! Hey Girl! Watching now :) x
Thanks so much boo 😘
I have similar symptoms and the doctors keep saying there’s nothing wrong. Along with that I also have keratosis pilaris. I’m going to try to go gluten free and hopefully figure out what’s happening.
Sounds like you're dealing with the same thing I did! You definitely should try it- it changed my life.
I also feel that same way, I see wheat and I don't care to have it. I see it an my enemy. But I do know people who have to gluten free and hang on to so much anger
Completely agree 👏🏼 I think it’s definitely natural to feel that way at first but once you get your health back, it is so worth it!
@@TrulyJamie yes it is definitely worth it
great! is it fine to have sourdough bread once a week on weekend as delicacy
That is totally dependent on how your body handles it and how severe/moderate your gluten sensitivity is. I have heard that sourdough is the best bread to have. I personally never eat any gluten, not even on occasion because it will bother me for a very long time and just isn't worth it.
❤️ thank you
I have a felling that I have a gluten intolerance just because after I eat bread and pasta mainly that I have overwhelming amounts of anxiety and I have headaches every day and my symptoms are never all the same
Or almost all the symptoms of a gluten intolerance
It's very common! I hope you find some relief soon. xx
@@TrulyJamie thanks I just found out I’m lactose intolerant and most likely gluten intolerant too but thank you 😊
That's mad as well as the Mum thing I have just ordered some sourdough bread which is gluten free this is also my favourite bread but I'm happy I can get gluten-free sourdough bread happy days
I hope you love it!!
After how long did you start seeing the difference?
about 3-4 months.. but you slowly start to feel better & better throughout the process!
How long did it take for the tiredness to go away for you?
A few months!
@@TrulyJamie Okay, I'll just be patient 😄
@@kaylinburchette575 it definitely takes time. I would stick with it for a bit. It changed my life!
@@kaylinburchette575 it definitely takes time! You should stick with it for a bit. It changed my life! Which you could assume based on the video title 😂
This happened to me exactly the same when I lost my mum xx
I'm so sorry. It's incredibly difficult
I’m wheat sensitive by my allergy test. So should I eliminate the wheat gluten all together.
You gotta do what you think is best but I would suggest it! I think if it’s just a mild sensitivity right now the chances of it getting worse in the future is a possibility. Also wheat gluten is the most common gluten. Wheat flour is in most products that are in many gluten containing products. Barely & rye are less common ingredients
Did you lose hair after going gluten dree diet?
That didn't happen to me personally but I don't think that's something uncommon when making a big switch in your diet.
I can relate
Did you have an intolerance to dairy also?
No I don’t.. i find that it may bother me a bit if i have too much just because it’s so heavy and my stomach is sensitive but not to the point where I can’t have it here and there
Thank you for this video.
I am so grateful 🙏 you are truly amazing Jaime 👏.
may be you should change your name to the above.
Thanks again,
Aww thank you so much :) thanks for watching!
Hi Jamie is Landon on my gaming channel. Haha. Nice video
Did you ever feel dizziness or lightheaded?
Yes all the time
Good morning, pretty Jamie. so glad to talk with you! This is Sami working for stylish glasses company! I like your videos so much! We wish to collaborate with you! May I know is it possible for us to collaborate with you ?
Did you have kp when you were eating gluten?
Yep!!
Had it my entire life until i went gluten free. It still comes and goes but it has cleared up drastically
@@TrulyJamie THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is my sign to go gluten free!
👍
Hii
Hi ❤️
Lost my mom from leukemia around the same time too
💔 I’m so sorry!
I thought sourdough bread was very low in gluten?
When you’re gluten intolerant you can’t have any but of gluten. You’re not even supposed to eat foods made it factories with non gluten free foods because of cross contamination.
If you’re someone who just tries to avoid it here & there but you still eat it occasionally, sourdough is great. But not if you’re allergic
Did you see weight loss with the transition?
Yes, that's something I forgot to answer. I lost almost 20 lbs. It was drastic at first but my body started to get used to the diet and my weight remained the same. I also think I lost a lot of weight because I was mainly eating really clean- I didn't have a ton of GF bread and stuff like that. Was mainly eating protiens and veggies.
get raw milk, i can drink it!!
no pause, just radio blah blah, didn't get a word.
