Wheat intolerance
Do any of you have a wheat intolerance or celiac disease that have had RNY? I have found that wheat causes joint inflammation for me, so I have cut it out of my diet. Just wondering if anyone has done the same thing with surgery. I have not had my surgery as of yet. I have my sleep study next Thursday night and then will get scheduled for surgery, so likely it will be in November.
I had some regain and severe RH ..that started app 2 years from RNY. This year I decided I need to remove most startch carbs from my diet: any grains, starchy veggies... even fruits. Once I did that - my RH (reactive hypoglycemia) is under control. You can live and live well post op RNY with no wheat or any gluten. Heck - even most starches... and sugary foods.

I have a wheat allergy, unfortunately I'm not 100% great at avoiding wheat. I certainly could, it wouldn't be too hard with the post-surgical plan (in fact, probably it's easier after surgery). I keep meaning to, but it's ah-maze-ing what kinds of foods contain wheat that you would never imagine.
