Need some advice

August 25, 2006

Ok. I've been on the diet for seven days now. All I've been able to eat are

meat, eggs, cheese, and grape jello. I'm not really tolerating the grape

jello, but I don't know what else to do for carbs. I have tried the more

so-called tolerable foods, such as, applesauce, green beans, and zucchini

(sp?). All were cooked very well and pureed. My stomach is absolutely not

accepting these foods (gastroparesis), but my intestines (and my mood!!!)

really really like them. In other words, once the food is out of my stomach,

I'm fine. It just takes forever for it to leave! So....I think I've come to

the conclusion that the gp and the celiac are two entirely different

diseases. I've known for a long time that what my intestines are crying out

for, my stomach is totally rejecting. They want entirely two different

things. I can either be sick because I'm eating sugar, or I can be sick in a

different way because I'm eating things my stomach cannot tolerate. You get

the point.

I'm doing sort of a last ditch cry for help here. Does anyone have ANY idea

what could be the problem? The area of my stomach that is so picky is just

at the top of the stomach, where the esophagus meets the stomach. I

literally feel like someone punched me there when I eat the above mentioned

foods. And my back muscles compensate, and therefore I feel like I " m

carrying 200 pounds, and my whole body is sore from doing it. I will tell

you that I had a huge ulcer in that area before they discovered I had

celiac. I don't know if the two are related, but I am thinking not. ??

I know the vagus nerve is there. Could the ulcer have damaged that, and

caused the gp?

Any thoughts? I'm about ready to need to stop the diet. I can't survive on

meat and jello....and this stomach ache. I love the foods and want to do

this so badly, but maybe now is just not the time.....

Celiac, 34, day seven on SCD, started Diflucan and Olive leaf extract, none

of which has made any difference...
