My gluten free journey and feeling so much better FINALLY!
Disclaimer: this video is not created to body shame anyone. I'm not a medical professional. Please consult a doctor prior to dietary changes.
Gluten sensitivity and gluten intolerance are often misunderstood. After trying various diets, I still had my struggles (weight-gain, pain after eating, etc.) that were unknown as of early 2020. This video walks through my discovery of sticking to a gluten-free diet for a minimum of 60-days (and it can be even longer for some folks) in order to see the difference.

New video just released! Journey after 3 years: kzhead.info/sun/hdyaoZGQhZyLoHk/bejne.html
I'm 37 and I used to need a nap in the middle of the day, everyday. I've been gluten free for 1 week and this has totally changed. I noticed a difference after just 2 days.
Wow..seriously?? Thnx for sharing
Gosh I really have to try this
I've just gone wheat-free and noticed a difference after only a few days. A week or so in and my chronic severe joint pain has largely disappeared.
Wow it’s soooo good to hear!
Day 2 for me , I am looking forward to results!
@@katiea.244 Good luck Katie!
Thank you! :)
Me too….i have Graves and feel way better since getting rid of gluten.
I'm only on day 4 of being gluten free and the biggest difference I've already noticed is my focus and mind, I'm able to focus on tasks and not get distracted as much and I feel more active and way less in my thoughts! It's a great feeling, fantastic video!
I am SHOCKED at how much energy I have today..no coffee..no monster energy…2 more aerobic miles than YESTERDAY!!! And I am only beginning my second week of no gluten. It’s Shocking.
Even though it feels like a major sacrifice I went gluten free about 2 months ago and my joints stopped hurting, frozen shoulder improved, sinuses, GERD, fatigue, dry eyes, and bloating IBS completely stopped.
That's incredible, what a difference it makes!
WOW okay… thinking I should make the jump considering I have most of these.
Great to know. How long did it take for you to notice changes ? I've started a gluten free diet one week ago, because of gerd and mucus in the throat. It improved a bit during the first three days, but since two days it came back. Not in a hard way but still a little bit. So I'm a bit confused and I just want to know if it's a normal thing to have little relapses
I’m starting it today.i have all of those
I watched this video. Maybe it's just how the wheat here is made in North America and not gluten related. Could be the pesticides they put in it, GMO, or other reasons. The reason I mention this is because this issue seems way more common in North America, but yet gluten is in wheat in other countries as well.
Celiac is only considered if your antibody levels are greater than 10. However, any result above zero is an antibody response! And Celiac tests can vary. My doctor has found that she often needs to do repeat tests on those she suspects of having Celiac, before they finally get a positive result.
My lower back and neck were slowly getting stiffer and difficult to move too! My doctor wrote it off to age. I refused to accept this. I'm quite the athlete and felt something was wrong. Nobody believed me because of how fit and athletic I look. After going mostly GF, one day I noticed I could move again. It was a true miracle. I read any grain including rice, can trigger a gluten sensitivity response. This is becoming a huge endeavour.
I’m hoping I have these same results. I am basically unable to get out of bed 2-3 days a week from fatigue, stomach upset, I can barely breathe through my nose, headaches, etc. Wish me luck, I’m starting today.
How’s it going so far? I’ve been in denial for years now. And I’m cutting things out slowly now.
@@user-ajp-4891how did it go
how are you doing?
Same problem with me.just found these videos about gluten.
Same, dude
Thank you so much for this video!!!!! I am on a no gluten diet for a week and a half now and starting to get used to the lifestyle change now😁
Thank you so much for sharing your story. This video was very helpful and informative. You gave me hope. Thank you❤️
Your video really resonates with me. I have had similar symptoms and recently realized I am gluten and dairy sensitive. Very helpful. Thank you 🙏
I feel like i spend all my time on the lap top researching all the shit that is wrong with me. And im beginning to wonder what if its all because of gluten. All the arrows are pointing this way. If it is then I have spent a good portion of my life dodging issues that were basically gluten issues. I was raised on cheap gluten. My mom basically dosed me daily with flour tortillas and cheese cause it was cheap and she didn’t know any better. It’s not her fault. I’m beginning to think that is why she had so many issues as well. But not the same ones I had. She was more anxiety, paranoia, addictions. Mine were more autoimmune, shyness, and brain fog. What if,,…. And i mean what if.. all the problems or many of them, of society today are somehow related to gluten issues. The drug addictions, personality disorders, basic confusions of who we are, are related to this very pervasive ingredient. I mean are we all really inherently f’d up as humans. How could we all have gone so wrong. I’d like to think there is something to blame. We are products of nature, nature is supposed to be divinely wise, yet here we are, f’d up as all can be. Riddle me that.
Thanks for sharing. A lot to the food I consumed as a child, including gluten, is no longer what it used to be. It’s a complicated issue and glad we both found solutions, at least for now ❤️
@pickles have you tested for celiac? ..I have and quite lost on all of this..any help or info u have to offer i would greatly appreciate! ..I know what it's like to have to research for your own answers😒 also if u don't mind me saying amalgam fillings (or heavy metal toxicity, which can be caused by many other things) causes quite alot of autoimmune issues!
Nature is wise . It’s man who polluted and modified the grains .
Amen
Hi Fei! So glad to know that you’ve succeeded in improving your health! You look amazing always, and even more radiant now! ❤️ I’m 33, and I’m starting to take more care of my health too. Thanks for sharing! 🌹Best wishes!
It took me so many years to get to this point... so liberating!!
My experience mirrors this. Slender when young. Gradual weight gain that could be controlled with exercise in 20s. Then a MASSIVE weight gain in 30s along the onset of chronic diarrhoea.. Coincidentally at that point I'd got a house and was eating a LOT more wheat. Fast forward to 42. Exercising regularly, eating healthy and down to 1 meal a day and a snack. Became anaemic and didn't lose a pound despite cycling over 300 miles per month. Become fatigued, got a serious infection that required hospital. Broad range antibiotics destroyed my gut biome. After the course the chronic diarrhoea and bloating became untenable. Stopped eating and just had rice noodles and vege for a week. All my symptoms stopped and I felt a million times better. I'm early on in my journey (3 weeks) but I feel amazing
That's an incredible journey! I can relate - so frustrated with my body, and going off gluten is a lifesaver. Have you tried at any gluten blockers or gluten cutter pills? They work for me on and off. So I'm eliminating gluten
@@FeisworldMedia I didn't realise they were a thing. Tbh I am going to a really posh 8 course dinner type restaurant soon where they don't do gluten free. I might try some then and see what happens. However, I'd rather not take something to stop something from happening as I believe all drugs cause another thing.
Thanks for sharing, great story and am glad you took the challenge head on and had great results! This stuff is so Toxic to majority of population but so many are unaware. Just a heads up, Gluten does not always cause digestive issues or symptoms. I am fortunate to have been diagnosed with Coeliac Disease and have never had issue with my stomach or digestive system. I have had more behavioral issues almost ADD and no weight gain since high school 30years ago. If people reading this have any Autoimmune diseases (list is huge), behavioral traits, Autism, adhd, add, Dementia/ Alzheimer etc PLEASE get tested for Celiac Disease, but if negative then test yourself for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS). I am so lucky (strange i know) i have Celiac because it was a clean cut diagnosis, i feel for people with NCGS because trying to get someone to cut Gluten out of their diet for 60days is a MAMMOTH task, but WELL WELL worth it. Good luck
What a fantastic, informative video about an important subject! Thank you.
So glad this is helpful! I seriously thought nobody would watch 😂
Thank you for this .
Gluten Free for the last 18 days still have a few minor issues going on but overall I ma 90% better in just that amount of time.
Wow so good to hear!!
Thanks for this video. 👍
SO SUPERB Fei :) try fruit with JUST fruit next --- you will go to the next level -- as in only eat fruit 4 to 5 hrs after eating anything else [ other than fruit / raw vegi's ] --best eat in the morning first thing ... then wait 30 mins before eating anything no fruit [ no raw vegi ] ... You will SKY ROCKET then :). And once you get to eating 60% raw foods you will sky rocket again and again -- yahoo :). Keep creating great content -- thank you
Physician here. There is NO specific test for nonceliac wheat sensitivity. It is what is known as a diagnosis of exclusion, i.e., after celiac disease is excluded and then the patient’s symptoms improve or resolve after going gluten free. So first celiac disease must be excluded. This requires a small bowel biopsy by endoscopy and adjunctive blood tests. The biopsy is the pivotal test not the blood tests. Going gluten free before the blood tests is a problem because it can cause a false negative blood test in someone who has celiac disease. This is why you must see a competent gastroenterologist BEFORE going gluten free. It is estimated that ~470 million people worldwide have one of several wheat related illnesses: eosinophilic esophagitis, celiac disease, nonceliac wheat sensitivity, wheat anaphylaxis, and wheat ataxia.
Ty for that, flour mother. Helped a lot! :)
Great video, Fei. It is a bit of a departure. A good one. I have my own food-based issues that manifest themselves in medical conditions. Over time, things are getting better. It just takes action and time.
Def a one off video. I’d like to create an unexpected video once a month moving forward :)
@@FeisworldMedia Have to keep the viewers off-balance. I like it!
@@rrhorner79 yup i create 8-9 vids a month. Gotta give them a surprise. 🥰 moreover share a piece of my life
@@FeisworldMedia You are a massive content creator. It's great to be that open. I'm not sure if I could be. Not sure there is enough content.
@@rrhorner79 yes there is and will be! I do have to sit down every time for deep work to happen. Trust me it’s a muscle you build. Everyone’s got it.
I diagnosed my son with a gluten sensitivity and was wondering what he could eat but you are so right. There are plenty of gluten free foods and I have access to them here in the boondocks. I think I might even join him. 2 menus are a bit of a PITA but I was going to do it mostly because the gluten free stuff is SO expensive.
I am gluten sensitive and Corn rice and diary have the same structure molecules as gluten and it gives me the same reaction when I eat bread or pasta, I recommend you to check Dr. Peter Osborne on KZhead on this topic
I’ve been gluten free for 60 days to reduce the itching from eczema and it has helped a great deal. It helped even more when I stopped using my toothpaste and gummy multi vitamins that I was shocked to learn had gluten. I’m not 100% yet but feeling so much better.
With Coeliac Disease and Dermatitis and Herpetiformis rash it took 2 years on a strict gluten free diet before I lost the last extremely itchy rash. My weight went from 50kg to 85 kg. But my gluten free diet must always be very strict. I am not on any medication for being Coeliac. Just a strict gluten free diet.
Thanks for this video. I’m just starting gluten/wheat free. Day 2. I’m also in the Northeast (MA) & an older “millennial” lol
Me to! On day 2 from the Northeast (MA) only I'm a baby boomer. How did your battle go? Did you have digestive probs and did they resolve?
@@szymo1123I’ve had digestive issues most of my life. I was actually starting to feel better at the time and ended up falling off the wheat wagon lol but I’m back at it, week 4!
So what are you eating. I can't hv rice wheat and grains.
Thanks for talking about this; hope you are well.❤️ For those of you watching searching for information: please don't go gluten free without getting tested for Celiac - they have to confirm with endoscopy & biopsy not just blood test. Once you go GF you really can't get tested as testing currently it requires gluten consumption to be accurate. I'm gluten intolerant and a National Celiac Foundation State Advocate. There are serious related conditions for this disease including cancer and it's so important that you have the right information about your health to do proper follow up screening and care. My Celiac diagnosis was missed and I would not survive a gluten challenge. Best I can do is advise others. 80% of Celiacs are undiagnosed.❤️
Hi there, I completely agree. I had the blood test only and came back negative. I'm pretty sure I'm one of those 80% people. Really glad to go gluten free, otherwise my gut will be in serious trouble. I also understand the correlation between celiac and cancer. Thank you!
Hi! I know this video is 2 years old so you might not see this, but I am starting gluten-free to see if it is the cause of some of my health issues. I love asian food. Is there a way to access the recipes your mom creates other than IG? is there a pdf for purchase anywhere?
how is it going
Yes I do post her food on Instagram under @mamachinesefood - she’s very freestyle so detailed recipe and measurement.
3:04 omg what is that song I’ve been looking for it for years
Great video. Do you ever post Any Chinese receipes on you tube as I don't have Instagram xxx
Good idea, I do only post on IG for recipe for now under @mamachinesefood ❤️
I hope you read this The fact that you don’t digest legumes and beans too means your actual issue could be FRUCTAN intolerance. Which is in gluten and beans , legumes etc . Fodmap ibs is far more common than you think
did anyone get a gluten withdrawal? I am on week three-ish without gluten and suddenly am having panic attacks, shortness of breath, and a sensitivity to caffeine
One more comment: Rice does not contain gluten. It is safe for celiac patients and those with wheat related conditions. Oats are naturally gluten free. However, because some companies process oats in a facility where wheat is processed if you are wheat sensitive then you should choose certified gluten free oats. Do not go gluten free without seeing your physician and a competent gastroenterologist who performs small bowel biopsy via endoscopy. Otherwise you are guessing and going gluten free can have consequences and may require consultation with a nutritionist depending on your level of knowledge.
Do you also avoid dairy? Just wondering. You look good.
Thanks for sharing
i see result in 4 days difference in face physiognomy
I took me years to find out I’m gluten intolerant because I am also sorbitol intolerant. I had a full array of symptoms the doctors couldn’t find the reason to until a lab worker accidentally gave me a sorbitol test although I was meant to test for something else. Only a year in to gluten free dieting do I realize the full extent of harm this was causing.
Thank you.
Celiacs Disease is separate from Gluten Sensitivity, also known as Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or NCGS. And there’s no test for NCGS. I wish I’d known this when I was diagnosed with MS. It would’ve saved me in so many ways. Also, drs kind of don’t recognize NCGS. It’s so disheartening.
I got a blood test for NCGS. Tested positive for that. Is there a quest diagnostics in your area? They can test you for that! Just have your doctor send in the order ❤
Which test is that please mention the name.
I just got some test results that confirmed that i am gluten, milk , soy and egg intolerance plus i have a leaky gut, all of this is producing on top of bloating , pain, headaches and not being able to eat, hight glucose that produces heavy pain and bleeding while in my period. It feels like my life is over, I cannot eat, go out, do anything or even work from the stomach pain. they told me the damage is too much to be healed up so I am looking at a constant life of pain and doctors appointments just for not being diagnose on time. Falling in to a depression and requisitioning my whole life.
Seek medical care with a holistic doctor. Watch KZhead videos of doctors like Mark Hyman, Peter Osborne, Bobby Price, Eric Berg. Their content has helped me tremendously with various health issues.
Did you eat other carbs as rice, potatoes, legumes, etc while you were avoiding gluten? Or you go gluten free and low carb too?
Def eating rice, I love cassava. I struggle with legume and chickpeas. That’s too bad since they are healthy. Btw I just updated a brand new video today on gluten free
Where are your recipes feom your Instagram? So many beautiful dishes on there with no recipe link
Hi! Sorry, yes @mamachinesefood has my moms cooking but she’s freestyle. Lots of steaming and easy stir fries. We usually add salt and gluten free soy sauce to taste after. What do you cook?
❤❤❤❤
Is you watch any changing in your stool ?? If yes what are those ? Thanks,
Im Gluten intolerant. How much do i need to worry about Cross-contamination? Not actually eating gluten but food thats been around gluten
Thanks for asking! I notice everyone’s different. For me it’s not so bad if it’s “processed in the same facility” etc. but i wouldn’t eat dumpling soup with dumplings inside if that makes sense. I do wonder how careful I need to be now it’s been a year. I haven’t tried risking it yet 😅
@@FeisworldMedia i think my best bet is to just avoid it like the plague. Experimented last weekend went heavy on gluten and this week has been hell on earth. Fatigue, rash, bloating. Have fainted twice. Thats all the motivation i need not to go back to gluten again
@@jvstin9959 it literally took me ten years to fully realize this. Going off gluten for 30 days at a time for years and didn’t help. I honestly don’t even miss it. The rash and skin issues bothered me so much. Miserable. Glad to report it’s a non issue now. I do have nightmares like eating pizza by accident. Hah
@@FeisworldMedia Yup. Makes me wonder too how many people actually suffer with food intolerances but shrug it off as normal. People have zero idea how many levels above feeling “fine” there are. I was the exact same, like the walking dead. Unfortunately i’v had no luck persuading anyone to get an intolerance test. Get looked at like im a twisted psycho. Sometimes you got to be cruel to be kind and let them find out the hard way.. Appreciate the response, have dropped a sub💪🏼
@@jvstin9959 very true. Not an easy way to live life. Too bad the general info can only help us so far.
gluten has been linked to nerve damage. which makes sense the sciatica like stuff was around with gluten and then went when you went gluten zero.
So your sciatica pain gone ?? After gluten free???
I went from chronic heartburn to no heartburn after 2 weeks of gluten free
my blood test for celiac disease came back positive 😢
You aren’t alone. I know it’s tough. It does get easier.
Don’t eat rice if you want to stay away from gluten
Anyone get mental symptoms and joint pain from food allergies etc ?
I did, joint pain - particular back pain, random occurrences of sciatica
I had a lot of back pain I my left side to the point it would wake me up during the night. Its horrendous. Also neck pain. Would be one side one day and the next it would be the other side. I just had a positive test for coeliac a week ago and my endoscopy is going to take a few months to come through. Iv been totally gluten free for 3 days and back pain and neck pain is subsiding. Il be back on the gluten again in a few weeks once it's closer to my appointment. Just glad I think iv finally got to the bottom of the pain after 9 excruciating months!. Good luck on your journey x
Everything ruins my stomach they never said have I celiac even fruit and milk what do u do with milk when you go gluten free
Good video! I am Celiac and went 67 years without a diagnosis! Did you know that over 80% of people who have gluten sensitivity go undiagnosed??? What a medical failure in my opinion that you and I suffered for so long because they didn't do genetic testing!! However, all grains contain forms of gluten. Rice contains Orzenin and Corn contains Zein. Look it up. God bless!
All gluten should be banned.
Hi guys, what's your favorite gluten-free food? I'd love to know and explore. Thanks in advance!
The sweet potato noodles and glass noodles that you mentioned are great! Trader Joe’s and Sprouts Market both sell some nice gluten-free breads.
@@MusicLiberates wow I had no idea about the bread. Must check them out!!
@@FeisworldMedia - some of those GF breads are made from brown rice flour and tapioca starch.
@@MusicLiberates wonderful. My fav is Asian rice cake in soup
Thank you for this video I’m stating my journey this month! I literally went through the same thing as you and even the same weight as you!
Thanks. I am going to go GF now. ❤
Rice is not gluten free.
Too much talking for the message. Try to go to straight to the point.
