Gluten poisoning

by Kate
(Australia)

I have been gluten free for 7 years.

I started to feel ill when I was about 13, I got terrible food posioning in Indonesia and was bed ridden for two weeks. After this I started to realise I pushed certain foods away. I would crave things but they made me unwell.

Australia was not coeliac friendly back then, and I was diagnosed whilst backpacking in London after a terrible posioning. I am still working it out, and I am very hyper sensitive to gluten yeast and have an anaphalactic dairy allergy to caesin.

I became annorexic during school as I always felt sick when I ate, I became bulemic as I knew if food hit the lower part of my guts I would be sick for 3 days.

My body is rooted now. I have been diagnosed recently with leacky gut, which explains my malabsorbtion and auto immune symptoms.

Since following a basic leacky gut diet I feel so much better, but still I get
poisoned, mainly with dairy though, not gluten. Its paranoia, but warrented paranoia.

I would encourage other sufferers to not dismiss alternative medicine. Acupuncture
and a naturopath saved my life. I have spent thousands of dollars following GP and specialists wild goose chases.

Your guts are the source of all problems, you need to fix them. Its amazing how much of life you miss out on with this disease. I want the last 8 years of my life back!

I am still occasionally bulemic and you know what, it has nothing to do with weight, but rather averting the pain that may come from in proper diet. I am still looking for a cure or easy way out, I just don't understand how you can eat something for 15 years and suddenly it can destroy you.
