Gluten intolerance/allergies?



Recommended Posts

Anyone who has had gluten allergies or intolerance have the sleeve? I am almost 4 weeks out. Have had gluten allergy for 5 years. Since the surgery I have mostly avoided gluten but when I did get gluten my body didn't have the same reactions as prior to surgery. Anyone else out there have similar experience?

I was diagnosed with Celiac's almost 4 years ago. That diagnosis made lots of things make sense to me. I've had lots of practice eating gluten free. It's not so bad.

Without getting into a lot of details regarding my own experiences with gluten. I think this happens because your body has not had gluten in a long time and is able to process a little now, but most-likely it will show signs of it's dislike of gluten the more you eat.

Been gf for 3 years and stayed that way since my sleeve surgery. Just don't want to risk it. I'm used to it anyhow.

I have celiac so it's absolutely essential that I avoid gluten in its entirety. I have several food allergies as well but none developed post sleeve, they were all pre existing.

The gluten free diet plays nicely with good nutrition post-op. Personally I think we have an advantage over those who are tempted by Cookies, Pasta, pizza, bread etc because we simply can't eat them. You just have to watch for hidden sources of gluten, like soy sauce, anything with modified corn starch as an ingredient, etc.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
