HOW GOING GLUTEN FREE CHANGED MY LIFE! my journey + what I learned 

Comment below if you guys want to see a “Gluten Free What I Eat in a Day” video! 🤚🏼

I had such a similar experience!! going to the dr multiple times, being tested for everything and having them tell me i was fine when i wasn’t, i’ve only recently been two months into my gluten-free journey and it has already changed my life miraculously! after years and years of struggling! loved your video! 💕

You’re lucky you were able to figure this out fairly quickly. I thought it was Celiac or nothing. So when I was told 9 years ago I was not Celiac I just kept getting different tests over the years, seriously fearing I had cancer at some points. Finally I started reading into gluten intolerance and reluctantly gave up gluten 8 months ago and it’s a world of difference! BUT, so expensive!!! That is my biggest gripe. If I didn’t feel so much better, I would go back bc it costs so much more and it is hard to eat with other people. Especially holidays.

I’m 5 days into trying to be gluten free, since my doctor told me to try that and see if it helps. It’s been a really horrible few months trying to figure out what it was or could be. I’ve felt really depressed and anxious about it not getting better recently and not being able to explain to my loved one how I felt. Your video has given 1. Light at the end of the tunnel that it gets better and 2. A way to explain to my family and friends how I’m feeling. Thank you so much for sharing your experience, and giving people a place to know other people have gone through it, and it just takes time. ❤️

You are so right about being excited and thankful for the foods you CAN eat and enjoy!

So sorry for your loss, I firmly believe we see our loved ones again in some form otherwise none of this would make any sense. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

Thanks so much for sharing. I connected with you. I had problems for years and got tested from everything under the sun except Gluten. After test, this past fall I started the gluten free journey. Benefits are so amazing my mind is crystal clear and I have so much energy.

I'm 38 and was finally diagnosed with Celiac disease last August. I can't have gluten, milk, soy, etc. I have other food allergies as well. I'm so thankful that I was able to finally get some answers. I have osteoarthritis and major joint issues as a result. My teeth have also been affected by this awful disease. It is very stressful trying to make sure you aren't ingesting gluten. I'm so glad that the headaches are better, the diarrhea isn't as often and the horrible stomach pains have also gotten better. I'm glad you were able to get answers.

Your make-up is GORGEOUS and you have beautiful skin.

I searched for this video because earlier today I came to this realization. I had felt so ill for a couple of years. I used to be so much kore energetic and feel like I could do things like work out and do cleaning on the same week, let alone same day. I could make art AND have some social time. But, I went through some tough traumatic times after highschool, maintained through college but increased drastic escalation of ptsd symptoms, anxiety, and was diagnosed finally with clinical depression, and fairly late ADHD diagnosis- so Ive been convinced that this was nothing more then a mind over matter thing. idk how many times I said to myself 'why is my entire body feeling this way but its also in my head' not being able to explain to people what im experiencing but "I just CANT" heaviness, tingly, unable to keep a rrain of thought, and just terrible pain in all my limbs and into my hips and shoulders. but like tolerable enough, I get through days, forget about it sometimes... ive been feeling better receny mentally with the right antidepressant, regular ADD treatment,and a great therapist... but my pain has just made it increasingly more difficult for me to move around and as its always been - so so fatigued and exhausted. I started feeling periodically faint and heavy brain fog, new skin hair nail problems made me get to my limit like THIS ISNT NORMAL. I thought maybe its Lyme. you could see similarities here. I got bloodwork done for several diseased RA, Lyme and other tickborne illness, thyroid. The results came a happy phonecall saying "Good news, its all negative!" It did not feel like good news at the time. I wanted answers- Ive been searching to feel like myself for YEARS. I want to work out, have sex, decorate my house, go to yoga, and not be an irriable sadsack. I think this is it. Or if its not all of it, it is exasturbating other small issues. I know that elimination gluten has helped so many people with painful conditions and mental illness, so, I just cut it out for the last week and did have some success. I felt pretty okay, which is huge, such relief. Until today at my pizzabar shift, I was really hungry. I ate a slice. I feel so shit right now. But a simple precautionary dietary shift proved to be a successful experiment. I didn't know how rough my baseline has been, everyones' lives have been tough the last 3 years. I think this is it.

Thank you for the encouraging words❤🙏 I am 1,5 week in and getting really used to this life style change!

thank you so much for this video. i am currently empiercing the EXACT same symptoms you've listed here. been consuming so much gluten unintentionally. avoided it for an entire day and instantly felt a lot better. so i'm going to stick to this forever and hopefully i get back to feeling normal again!

this was SO HELPFUL! thank you thank you thank you

Wow, ALL of the visits, bloodwork, etc to the doctor is MY STORY too.... I'm 3 days in a gluten free lifestyle change and I'm really hoping it works. I've been feeling the exact same time of sick that you've explained FOR YEARSSSS!!

I have been fighting with the same symptoms for the last 5 years and now realise that I am gluten intolerant. The icky feeling and the constant pain and nausea is just so debilitating. Didn't know that it took so long to clear from the system. I will keep going. It is expensive especially where I am from. I am from Antigua, a 108 sq miles island in the middle of the Caribbean

Today’s day 1 of gluten free for me. I’m excited. I can already see a difference in gastrointestinal issues.

Hi Jaime, I lost my mom to cancer too and I totally undesrtand taking your health more serious

I think it’s interesting that when people know you are changing your diet to improve your health, they inevitably try to convince you to regress to the old habits that made you feel like you needed to change your diet in the first place.

Thank you for this video! Very helpful! Have not been tested yet, but I've kept a food diary for a few months and noticed I was always lethargic and tired after eating foods with gluten - taking it out for a week or two and noting any changes

Great video, I'm a few days into gluten free life and had literally the same symptoms/issues as you aside from the nausea...even down to the doctor telling me nothing is wrong!

You didn’t leave not one topic out that i would be concerned about in this video. I’m definitely subscribing 😂 so detailed and convincing

I've spent most of of life with most of these common symptoms. Everytime I went to my doctor and told him he brushed it off. I started eliminating gassy foods myself and it helped but not to much. Finally he gave me a good tolerance test and my body can't tolerate wheat and peanuts. I'm shocked, never thought it would be wheat. Now I'm trying to change what I eat. Your videos are definitely helping me find new foods.

This was such a great video. Thank you for sharing. Just subbed😊

Thanks so much for the amazing video. You have really inspired me . I've been gluten free 3 days

Im crying watching this video!!!! I lost my dad last January to covid. In June i became really chronically ill. Vomiting everyday. I just got tested for celiac today. I know in my heart this is what is it. Ive been to so many doctors asking for EVERY blood test but no one has done gluten!!! I keep being prescribed anti depressants like what! Hoping i find answers soooo glad ur doing better!!!

Hi! Thank you so much for this video! I can relate to a lot of your symptoms. I’m tired literally every day and I have horrible brain fog. I have anxiety every day and sometimes I feel depressed. The doctors said everything was pretty normal except my iron being a bit low. This is my third day being gluten free. I REALLY hope it works. I have already seen improvement in my digestion, hopefully it clears my other symptoms.

This sounds exactly like me. I am tired all the time!! Literally last weekend I got 10hrs of sleep and was still exhausted in the middle of the day, even tho all I did was relax. I am also always constantly bloated and have stomach problems.

I just found out I am gluten intolerant . This is the beginning of my new lifestyle. Thank you for this :)

I also had a very similar experience. I could eat gluten for much of my life but then I switched my diet away from gluten just to have more vegetables and legumes and after a few years I could not tolerate gluten. It made me feel so sick and awful. I don't know if I am gluten-intolerant or have celiac disease, but either way, I must totally avoid gluten to be healthy. Nice to hear that I am not the only one with this experience.

Early Comment! Hey Girl! Watching now :) x

Thank you for this information 😊

hi - I had gnawing stomach pain, reflux, oesophagus pain , stomach pressure and discomfort.... maybe functional dyspepsia rather than celiac .... I have stopped gluten and already feeling the benefits.... good luck to all feeling better 🌼🌷🌸 edit: great video - really helpful

I felt like you were telling my story. I have had so many medical bills over the years and they all come back fine. It’s so confusing. Day 2 gluten free. I tried this awhile back for a few weeks, but I’m going to go until mid June.

I can totally relate to this! I lost my mom to breast cancer and 2 of her sisters have had breast cancer too. It has given me severe health anxiety and I feel like every ailment is undiagnosed cancer. But my doctors won’t take me seriously and check me for anything other than just breast cancer. I just went sugar, dairy, and gluten free starting last Wednesday so I’m really hoping to see some results.

So glad I found your channel and this video. Just last week i discovered that I am off the chart gluten intolerant. After years and years of stomach issues and other problems finally a possible answer. You are right, there are so many options now, unfortunately I also tested intolerant to 20 other items--including eggs, beef, pork, tomatoes...and the list continues. So many GF breaded items contain eggs. I will figure it all out but boy didn't plan on this. The dr. feels these items could be contributing to my leaky gut. We will do 6 weeks eliminating all the items (still fighting the coffee LOL) and see where I am at. She told me I will need to be GF for the remainder of my life--unless I enjoy feeling like sh*t, Looking forward to going back and watching all your GF videos (and others). Thanks for encouraging me on this journey.

❤️ thank you

I’m going through this now! I’ve had issues with diarrhea for 4 years. Ugh. It’s to the point where almost everything I eat makes me sick within an hour. I’ve had 3 separate celiac blood panels run (all negative), food allergy tests run (also negative), a colonoscopy and endoscopy and all they could tell me was it must be IBS. I also have 3 other autoimmune conditions, and it’s a common condition with one of them. So I got sick of being sick with no help from doctors, so I sent in a food sensitivities test posted online and it came back to avoid gluten, dairy, apples, corn, mushrooms, several kinds of fish, nuts, oils, seeds, etc. I found this out May 7, 2022 and have been trying extremely hard to stick to it tor the last 9 weeks. I can already tell when I avoid those items, I do not get sick. When I either know I ate something, or possibly did, I do get sick. It’s a definite learning curve especially with all the things I need to avoid, but it will be worth it in the long run to feel much better!

Thank you. Brilliant video

Im 24 and i haven’t live a day without stomach pain, I get sick often and I don’t have energy, I’ve live like this my whole life. Idk if I have gluten intolerance but I started a gluten free diet today, I hope it works because every time I go to the doctors they say I’m fine but I don’t have energy, can’t eat without feeling bad. Also I have spent 12 hours without eating at work because if I do eat I would feel horrible and I have to leave because I wasn’t eating and I felt so fatigued that I couldn’t even take a shower when I got home. I hope this works, if it does my life would literally change. 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

I have similar symptoms and the doctors keep saying there’s nothing wrong. Along with that I also have keratosis pilaris. I’m going to try to go gluten free and hopefully figure out what’s happening.

I actually was diagnosed with celiac when I was 7 or 8 I believed changed my diet for awhile and went back to eating gluten foods and everything. Of course there were times where I'd feel bad but just kept eating it. I got through middle and high school just fine. Once I reached college it just took a huge toll on me. Idk why or how but I just started eating less and less slowly and started seeing my weight slowly declining. I became underweight and I just learned to accept it but now I'm tired of just accepting it. So I went to the doctor almost a week ago and told them about it and had mentioned I was diagnosed with celiac disease as a kid. They did some bloodwork on me because the doctor mentioned it could be a problem with my thyroid for my weight loss and low energy and weak appetite as well. I'm thinking of going on a gluten free diet to see if it'll help my situation

I'm Wheat , Gluten and Lactose free and with a noticeable improvement in overall health and well-being...😊

Great Video! Did you stay away from Dairy while you went Gluten-Free when you started? I've started my journey 3 weeks ago and seeing results. I just had a setback with too much dairy so I think I'll be going Dairy Free for a while.

This happened to me exactly the same when I lost my mum xx

Been gf since nov 2020 no more bloat, migraines, diarrhea, anxiety, panic attacks, joint pain.

I'm new. Found out I'm allergic to wheat 4 months ago. Still learning. It's hard but I keep pushing

omg i had no idea it took 3 months!! Im literally 4 days in hahaha

I also feel that same way, I see wheat and I don't care to have it. I see it an my enemy. But I do know people who have to gluten free and hang on to so much anger

Good morning, pretty Jamie. so glad to talk with you! This is Sami working for stylish glasses company! I like your videos so much! We wish to collaborate with you! May I know is it possible for us to collaborate with you ?

That's mad as well as the Mum thing I have just ordered some sourdough bread which is gluten free this is also my favourite bread but I'm happy I can get gluten-free sourdough bread happy days

great! is it fine to have sourdough bread once a week on weekend as delicacy

I have a felling that I have a gluten intolerance just because after I eat bread and pasta mainly that I have overwhelming amounts of anxiety and I have headaches every day and my symptoms are never all the same

I’m wheat sensitive by my allergy test. So should I eliminate the wheat gluten all together.

After how long did you start seeing the difference?

Lost my mom from leukemia around the same time too

Recently, I just found out that I had a sensitivity to gluten with blood tests that my doctor performed for me. I knew something was wrong and I told her that I would have diarrhea and bad nausea after eating certain things. At first, I thought it was eggs because I didn't feel bad after eating a McChicken from McDonald's. But after eating that McChicken, I would have constipation for a few days to a week then suddenly I would have diarrhea. I requested a food allergy test from my doctor and she's so good with me, she got that test scheduled for me with my regular thyroid panel blood test. We went over the results and so I cut out gluten and bread altogether and have been feeling much better. There have been a couple times where I had diarrhea and that's when I ingested some flour and the second time I felt so much nausea I thought I was going to throw up and some slight diarrhea..I thought I didn't really eat anything with gluten but I think Jimmy Dean's breakfast sausage has some sort of cross contamination, but idk exactly. Anyway, next thing my doctor will do is give me a celiac test. Also, I'm happy to have found you and listened to your story. I agree that people look down on others for going gluten free. My grandma does especially. And honestly I'm scared to even let her know about it..

I can relate

Did you lose hair after going gluten dree diet?

Did you have an intolerance to dairy also?

How long did it take for the tiredness to go away for you?

Did you ever feel dizziness or lightheaded?

Hi Jamie is Landon on my gaming channel. Haha. Nice video

Did you have kp when you were eating gluten?

Thank you for this video. I am so grateful 🙏 you are truly amazing Jaime 👏. may be you should change your name to the above. Thanks again,

Hii

I’m so sorry for the loss of your mother 🫶🏽😭 I lost my dad about a year ago and it’s been the worst. Would love to hear more about your grief journey 💜💜💜

I thought sourdough bread was very low in gluten?

Did you see weight loss with the transition?

👍

no pause, just radio blah blah, didn't get a word.
