Surviving​ ​a​ ​Gluten​ ​Free​ ​Diet Being​ ​an​ ​IBDer​ ​most​ ​of​ ​my​ ​life,​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​biggest​ ​things​ ​people​ ​would​ ​say​ ​to​ ​me​ ​is,​ ​“I​ ​bet​ ​there​ ​is​ ​a lot​ ​of​ ​things​ ​you​ ​can’t​ ​eat”.​ ​ ​Growing​ ​up​ ​I​ ​would​ ​tell​ ​them​ ​that​ ​I​ ​can​ ​eat​ ​anything​ ​I​ ​want.​ ​ ​I​ ​wasn’t limited​ ​to​ ​anything​ ​and​ ​nothing​ ​seemed​ ​to​ ​affect​ ​my​ ​Crohn’s.​ ​ ​Well,​ ​that​ ​is​ ​what​ ​I​ ​thought.​ ​ ​Of course,​ ​I​ ​was​ ​ignorant. 22​ ​years​ ​into​ ​my​ ​disease,​ ​I​ ​was​ ​to​ ​really​ ​learn​ ​the​ ​role​ ​of​ ​nutrition​ ​with​ ​IBD.​ ​ ​I​ ​went​ ​into​ ​the​ ​worst flare​ ​of​ ​my​ ​life,​ ​going​ ​to​ ​the​ ​bathroom​ ​30​ ​times​ ​a​ ​day.​ ​ ​I​ ​suffered​ ​from​ ​pain,​ ​nausea​ ​and​ ​depression. Nothing​ ​I​ ​did​ ​helped​ ​me.​ ​ ​I​ ​thought​ ​I​ ​was​ ​going​ ​to​ ​need​ ​surgery.​ ​ ​So,​ ​I​ ​did​ ​research​ ​online​ ​and​ ​found that​ ​many​ ​people​ ​were​ ​using​ ​different​ ​diets​ ​to​ ​help​ ​control​ ​their​ ​disease.​ ​ ​Some​ ​used​ ​the​ ​Specific Carbohydrate​ ​Diet​ ​(SCD).​ ​ ​Some​ ​used​ ​a​ ​low​ ​residue​ ​diet.​ ​ ​Others​ ​turned​ ​to​ ​juicing.​ ​ ​I​ ​knew​ ​I​ ​had​ ​to change​ ​something​ ​in​ ​my​ ​life​ ​to​ ​get​ ​back​ ​to​ ​normal​ ​but​ ​most​ ​of​ ​these​ ​diets​ ​were​ ​too​ ​restrictive​ ​for​ ​me. Then​ ​I​ ​found​ ​out​ ​about​ ​the​ ​Gluten​ ​Free​ ​diet. Gluten​ ​is​ ​a​ ​protein​ ​complex​ ​found​ ​in​ ​wheat,​ ​barley,​ ​rye​ ​and​ ​a​ ​couple​ ​of​ ​other​ ​grains.​ ​ ​Normally​ ​a gluten​ ​free​ ​diet​ ​is​ ​used​ ​for​ ​people​ ​with​ ​Celiac​ ​Disease.​ ​ ​However​ ​more​ ​and​ ​more​ ​IBDers​ ​are​ ​going gluten​ ​free.​ ​ ​My​ ​thinking​ ​was​ ​by​ ​taking​ ​away​ ​the​ ​gluten,​ ​my​ ​guts​ ​won’t​ ​work​ ​as​ ​hard​ ​and​ ​this​ ​should calm​ ​them​ ​down.

As​ ​I​ ​mentioned,​ ​many​ ​of​ ​the​ ​other​ ​diets​ ​were​ ​restrictive.​ ​ ​There​ ​were​ ​a​ ​lot​ ​of​ ​food​ ​items​ ​you​ ​couldn’t eat.​ ​ ​With​ ​a​ ​gluten​ ​free​ ​diet,​ ​there​ ​are​ ​items​ ​you​ ​can’t​ ​eat​ ​but​ ​there​ ​are​ ​substitutes.​ ​ ​You​ ​can’t​ ​eat wheat​ ​pasta​ ​but​ ​there​ ​is​ ​pasta​ ​made​ ​from​ ​corn,​ ​or​ ​quinoa,​ ​or​ ​rice.​ ​ ​There​ ​are​ ​flours​ ​made​ ​up​ ​of​ ​other

https://sites.google.com/site/crohnsdiseaseusa/ grains​ ​which​ ​are​ ​then​ ​used​ ​to​ ​make​ ​items​ ​that​ ​normally​ ​need​ ​wheat​ ​like​ ​bagels​ ​or​ ​pizza​ ​or​ ​pretzels. So,​ ​although​ ​I​ ​can’t​ ​eat​ ​a​ ​normal​ ​bagel,​ ​I​ ​can​ ​still​ ​have​ ​bagels…​ ​just​ ​gluten​ ​free​ ​ones. Gluten​ ​Free​ ​diets​ ​are​ ​becoming​ ​very​ ​popular.​ ​ ​Many​ ​companies​ ​are​ ​now​ ​making​ ​alternative​ ​gluten free​ ​versions​ ​for​ ​their​ ​items.​ ​Barilla​ ​pasta​ ​now​ ​makes​ ​a​ ​gluten​ ​free​ ​version​ ​as​ ​an​ ​example.​ ​ ​Also, many​ ​restaurants​ ​are​ ​now​ ​creating​ ​gluten​ ​free​ ​menus​ ​and​ ​offering​ ​a​ ​gluten​ ​free​ ​option​ ​to​ ​their normal​ ​menus. So,​ ​after​ ​doing​ ​some​ ​research​ ​and​ ​seeing​ ​that​ ​there​ ​were​ ​a​ ​lot​ ​of​ ​options​ ​open​ ​to​ ​me,​ ​I​ ​went​ ​gluten free.​ ​ ​At​ ​first​ ​it​ ​was​ ​hard​ ​because​ ​I​ ​had​ ​to​ ​find​ ​products​ ​I​ ​liked.​ ​ ​I​ ​had​ ​to​ ​experiment​ ​with​ ​different types​ ​of​ ​pastas​ ​to​ ​find​ ​one​ ​that​ ​I​ ​liked.​ ​ ​Same​ ​as​ ​the​ ​breads.​ ​ ​Over​ ​time,​ ​I​ ​would​ ​find​ ​my​ ​groove​ ​and have​ ​specific​ ​go​ ​to​ ​items. So,​ ​when​ ​all​ ​is​ ​said​ ​and​ ​done,​ ​you​ ​are​ ​probably​ ​wondering​ ​was​ ​it​ ​worth​ ​it?​ ​ ​Well,​ ​after​ ​being​ ​gluten free​ ​for​ ​about​ ​a​ ​month,​ ​my​ ​bowel​ ​movements​ ​reduced​ ​in​ ​number.​ ​ ​My​ ​pain​ ​started​ ​going​ ​away.​ ​ ​After a​ ​couple​ ​of​ ​months,​ ​I​ ​felt​ ​like​ ​I​ ​was​ ​pretty​ ​much​ ​in​ ​remission.​ ​ ​I​ ​have​ ​now​ ​been​ ​gluten​ ​free​ ​for​ ​a​ ​little over​ ​2​ ​years​ ​and​ ​have​ ​pretty​ ​much​ ​been​ ​in​ ​remission​ ​for​ ​most​ ​of​ ​that​ ​time.​ ​ ​I​ ​still​ ​have​ ​some​ ​active colitis​ ​but​ ​it​ ​doesn’t​ ​manifest​ ​itself. When​ ​I​ ​first​ ​started​ ​going​ ​gluten​ ​free,​ ​I​ ​made​ ​a​ ​video​ ​talking​ ​about​ ​it,​ ​which​ ​you​ ​can​ ​see​ ​below.​ ​It​ ​is basic​ ​and​ ​I​ ​really​ ​should​ ​update​ ​it.​ ​ ​If​ ​you​ ​have​ ​any​ ​questions​ ​about​ ​the​ ​diet,​ ​feel​ ​free​ ​to​ ​ask.​ ​ ​Also,​ ​a Google​ ​search​ ​will​ ​give​ ​you​ ​numerous​ ​sites​ ​to​ ​check​ ​out. To​ ​me,​ ​I​ ​feel​ ​like​ ​going​ ​gluten​ ​free​ ​saved​ ​my​ ​life.​ ​ ​My​ ​original​ ​thought​ ​was​ ​to​ ​do​ ​it​ ​short​ ​term​ ​and slowly​ ​bring​ ​gluten​ ​back​ ​into​ ​my​ ​life.​ ​ ​After​ ​2​ ​years,​ ​I​ ​do​ ​miss​ ​gluten​ ​products,​ ​but​ ​I​ ​have​ ​no​ ​desire​ ​to end​ ​my​ ​journey​ ​with​ ​being​ ​gluten​ ​free.
