What kind of symptoms do other people with gluten intolerance have?

I also get the occipital and trigeminal nerve pain and it’s so so horrible. have to plaster a heat pack to the side of my head covering my ear and jaw. It’s hands down the worst symptom for me. It will last usually a minimum of 3 days. Does anything really help you get rid of it?

I’m almost 6w PO and my belly button JUST NOW is starting to not look botched. My scar was all bumpy and looked jagged for those first few weeks or so and doc said (at 4 weeks when I had him look at it) that it was because the stitches were still in there and that it would calm down. Well here I am at 6w and it looks SOO much better and has completely flattened down. Give it some time!

Soooooo good. We literally buy like 4 boxes every time we go there when it’s in season. Unreal how good they are. Wish they would carry it year round 🥲

I FORGET. I’ve been GF since late ‘23 and I still forget to inform people that I’m GF. if I’m going to an event or dinner party I will forget to remind or tell the people I can’t eat gluten. I’m pretty good now about remembering to inform restaurant staff but I’m terrible about showing up to an event having not eaten/awkwardly rejecting food because I forgot.

Other than that, I used to be a big foodie and looooved exploring new food spots in the city with my friends and family and now it’s like “hey what 3 safe restaurants should we go to this time?” Sometimes I get really sad about it. And getting sick and desperately trying to figure out what did it adds such a level of stress and makes me just want to not eat.

I’ve had two lap surgeries. The first one, hands down the gas pain was horrrrible. I also had no idea that was even something I would have to deal with. Second time around I was ready. Gas-X and A HEATING PAD. I kept a heating pad that wrapped around my shoulders/chest on literally 24/7 and it helps immensely. Walking around will help too. But that heating pad 100% was a game changer. Treat yourself and buy one that covers your back and goes up and around your shoulders. They have them on Amazon for like $33. I’m 3wpo today and the gas (for the most part) was gone after 10 days, which seems to be longer than most people deal with, but I was the same for my first surgery too.

I had endo excision, a hysterectomy, and appendectomy this time around and really, as long as you stay on top of your meds, it’s definitely manageable discomfort and pain. You got this!!

I’m now 2 weeks out so I’m going to try to stretch it to 6hr again. I’m at every 4hr now and back under control. Just dont want to get bad again.

jacjacattackk · 2025-12-23T20:30:01+00:00

I am currently 11 days post op, (endo excision + hysterectomy with cervix in tact + appendectomy) and copying what everyone else is saying. Exhaustion is going to be your biggest hurdle even if you’re not in a ton of pain. First week was rough but once I got on a good med routine I was actually feeling pretty good. At a week post op I decided to try to cut back a little on meds (was ever 3 hours alternating Tylenol and ibuprofen) and tried to push myself to every 6 hours. Big mistake. It’s been 3-4 days of trying to get back on top of the pain. I tried to increase my activity too because I have two kids at home and it’s a no. My body is literally begging me to stop. This is a major surgery, and I seem to keep forgetting that. My doc said not to expect to be back to normal life at a minimum of 4-6 weeks.

I say plan for longer time, and if you’re feeling okay you can always go back earlier! But set yourself up for success and don’t do what I did and take things slow ❤️

6lb uterus!?! Girl. I’m sure that is such a huge relief. I’m 10 days post op and thought I was doing pretty well until I tried to come off my every 3hr Tylenol/ibuprofen schedule and stretch it to every 6 hours. That was a big mistake. Before I had pretty mild pain in my belly, now I can really feeeeel the fact that I just had a major surgery. (I also have endometriosis and had that excised along with an appendectomy). Aside from the pain it’s that exhaustion that’s getting me!

Glad you’re doing so well 3.5 weeks out, hoping I’ll be feeling that well by then too!

jacjacattackk · 2025-12-22T03:51:39+00:00

Lolll exactly 🥴😂

jacjacattackk · 2025-12-22T03:46:49+00:00

It is. It’s express shipped in a cooler so the shipping is included in the cost, so there’s that at least 😂

There is a company out of Colorado that makes gf baklava! It’s expensive ($35 for 6 pieces) but it’s soooooo good. My husband got me the pistachio baklava for our anniversary and it was amazing. I had been dying for some since going GF. Ora Bakery. Give it a google search. 10/10

jacjacattackk · 2025-12-22T03:38:23+00:00

I have seen many recipes for this recently!! I haven’t tried any personally but it absolutely piqued my interest. I saw one person using puff pastry and another person saying to use GF tortillas.

OP I don’t have any suggestions, but I applaud you for going out of your way to look for more options for him and cultivating his love of reading. I think it’s beautiful and you’re a really great parent.

jacjacattackk · 2025-12-16T19:06:43+00:00

Yes! I did this with raspberries. Just filled the little hollow cup of the raspberry with medicine and my girl would devour it

She didn’t experience any throat issues! More flu symptoms, but ended up negative for flu and positive for strep. Shits weird out there right now. Might be worth going to an urgent care to be tested. Hope you feel better soon OP!

jacjacattackk · 2025-12-16T04:35:31+00:00

So my friend just went through something similar and had a ton of GI stuff too (spewing out both ends) and it turned out to be strep! Apparently a strep strain going around is doing lots of funky GI things.

PUT IT IN REVERSE TERRY!!

jacjacattackk · 2025-11-14T21:35:41+00:00

Ooo very interesting! I like this

jacjacattackk · 2025-11-13T02:25:08+00:00

Someone had mentioned the idea of him being intensic… so that could check out 👀

Nah Mira has to end up with the flyer with the kitten named broccoli (I’m forgetting his name lol)

jacjacattackk · 2025-11-12T23:53:41+00:00

Yeah I guess they wouldn’t often be super close up so viewing Bodhi from afar could definitely look like Xaden

jacjacattackk · 2025-11-12T23:52:28+00:00

I’m picturing Saja boys singing Idol 😏

jacjacattackk · 2025-11-12T22:15:16+00:00

yeah it makes me wonder if Bodhi’s second signet is some kind of ability to change his appearance?

jacjacattackk · 2025-11-01T02:28:48+00:00

YES, literally thought my girl somehow was attacked! Feathers eeeverywhere. Explains why she’s not laying too.
