I do not have celiac, but I had a lot of inflammatory responses to wheat. Reflux, hypothyroid, joint pains... Any time I eat wheat the reflux comes back right away and within a few days the joint pain starts.. I don't have to be super careful about trace amounts of gluten like someone who is celiac, I mean , I'm sure I get traces of gluten here and there and I don't react to it, but something like half a tortilla, or a few bites of Pasta and I'm paying for it BIG TIME.

The sleeve has helped me stick with eating wheat free. YAY I've actually been so compliant with avoiding wheat that I no longer require synthroid as my body is now satisfied with the amount of hormone my thyroid gland can produce! (please not that 99.99% of people will NOT see this type of improvement because for MOST, the thyroid gland has been damaged and it can NEVER heal no matter what, I got SO LUCKY because my thyroid gland was still perfectly healthy) I also am free of about 80% of the joint pain I experienced previously.. Yes I still have aches and pains in my knees after working all day, but it's pretty mild and doesn't stop me from working out.

I am almost 5 months out and I have Celiac. Before surgery I could handle a bite of wheat/gluten, postop is a different story!!! I feel awesome and hope to meet my goal (-100lbs) by Thanksgiving!

Happy to swap recipes or ideas with you!!

I could never eat a bite of gluten as it made me sicker then sick and wasn't worth the consequences! I've been gluten free for 15 years!

When were you sleeved and what phase of the diet are you in? What recipes or ideas are you looking for?

I was sleeved June 3rd. I eat everything but steak and no bread, not even gluten free. It just doesn't sit well. I was diagnosed with Celiac 3 years ago.

Good Morning,

I have celiac's disease and was sleeved 10/22. I am with you GlutenFreeSingleMom; I can't have ANY gluten or I am soooo sick. It is not worth it. I don't even eat out at restaurants because I have gotten sick from cross contamination. I have only been diagnosed for 11 months.

I have found some aspects of the sleeve plan has been easier for me because I already had my food funerals last year. But of course I am only 11 days out.

Bonnie

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
