Dear Listmates,

Well, here I am again.  Do I need appologize for being at your door
again?  I surely hope not as I think in my heart that this is the reason
that the list exists!  Well, I am baffled by something and need your wise
imput into my life again.  I am that 50 year old that found out in Dec that
I am celiac.  Everything has much improved since going gluten free but for
my digestive abilities.  Here is where I need great wisdom.  I have been
told that I have a leaky gut.  Sounds logical indeed, as I can only eat a
few food and can not tollerate much more.  The confusing thing to me is
that the foods that I can eat seem to me to be the hardest to digest and I
don't seem to have any trouble with them at all.  Here is what I can
eat:  red meat i.e. steak, hamburgers etc., turkey and brown rice
cakes.  Sometimes I can have cooked green beans only if I eat them with my
meat.  Yup, that's it, those are the only things I can eat.  I was eating
white rice but it congests me every time I try to eat it so I have cut it
out.  Don't ask me why I can still eat the brown rice cakes I don't
understand that either.  Now, the only other thing I can eat is even more
crazy, its Wendy's chili!  Yup, that's what I said chili!  Now, how come if
my whole problem is that my gut is leaky can I eat those things hard to
digest like steak and chili?  Why is it that I can not have fruits or
vegetables or any type of sugars?  5 or 10 minutes after eating them my
stomach sours and I get a bad stomach ache.  If its only been a small
amount an ascedphilus seems to help, otherwise it is off to the
bathroom.  Yes, it is all gluten free, I am pretty sure of it.  Even what
comes from our own garden does the same thing.  My body can only have
proteins and I don't know why.  Anyone have even the slightest
help?  Thanks again and have I told you today that I am so glad that this
list is here!!!   Nancy from Texas
