Has anyone else experienced that pleasure?  
I have suffered from celiac disease for 30 years and I have sufffered from fibromyalgia for 20 years  which was finally diagnosed properly by my PCP.  My daughter diagnosed my celiac disease 5 years ago.  She is in the health care profession, along with one of my sons, who is a doctor (BS, MBA, MD/PHD).  My daughter has celiac disease, also.  However, my fibromyalgia has continued to worsen.  To be fair, I have multple health issues, one of which is degenerative arthritis in both knees, both hips and both thumbs, which contribute to my continued pain. 
Eliminating gluten from my diet has changed my life for the better. I do not EVER eat anything that has not been prepared by either myself or my daughter: no fast foods for us, since we have multiple allergies, also.  <br/><br/>

So, I went back to eating it...in force, you might say and have gotten considerably worse.  From what I know, I may have had it all my life, definitely since I was 16, slim and had a gallbladder attack.  I cannot eat nightshades, horrid arthritis from them.  I won't eat animals.  Now, this.  Oh, and my reactive hypoglycemia...gastritis...chronic fatigue...complex regional pain syndrome from a fall that damaged a nerve and the list goes on.  A lot of it relates back to celiac disease.  I've had Fibromyalgia about 20 years, though I was diagnosed about 8 to 10 years ago.  Oh, and the osteoarthritis in my neck (not the same as my other arthritis, oh joy) is getting to the point of screaming pain and I have to wear a collar at times.  I'm degenerating also and my poor husband is a mess along with me because of it.  He can't stand to see me suffer.  Thank you for your input.<br/><br/>

I have done well on the diet however I have slipped a few times just out of habit.  I am finding that foods are really expensive and very difficult to find in our area.  I also would like to find out if I could use the tax deduction for the foods since I have been diagnosed with the two syndromes that I do believe are connected to Gluten.  I also found out today that problems with your blood, such as low iron and etc. are/can be related to Celiac.  I have a difficult time keeping platelet levels up as well as Ferritin (iron deposits in your body).  I can't afford the testing for celiac so I am doing the next best thing.<br/><br/>

Some Celiacs have no symptoms at all.  Some research has found that the lesions in the small intestine (Leaky Guy Syndrome) allows fungus and bacteria to pass into new systems of the body, including the Central Nervous System.  The resulting infections manifest themselves as a wide variety of problems, mild to severe (including Multiple Sclerosis, osteoporosis, depression, numbness, etc).  So, the low seratonin levels that lead to fibromyalgia may very well be a result of an infection that began in the CNS.  Its always important to realize that a symptom of an illness could actually be a symptom of a symptom of an illness.<br/><br/>

My brother is gluten intolerant.  I have learned to make dishes gluten free so he can join in with something different, now I find  it is almost impossible to find dishes gluten and sugar free.  I did find a great rub for ribs that were such a hit on a fishing trip. I am getting requests/invites. <br/><br/>

I love to weight train and decided to try an eat clean diet.  In doing this my fibro seemed to be getting better.  Then one day after weeks of eating all natural foods (nothing processed) I ate something with gluten in it and had a terrible flare up.  My doctor suggested to test for Celiacs.  I'm waiting for my results but am feeling it may be the answer to years of suffering.<br/><br/>

I was diagnosed 3 years ago but I think I had it for about 8 years, right after the first child. These last months I am having MUCH MORE bowel trouble, i am even afraid to go out. I am undergoing some tests for ceoliac and doc said that 99% I am coeliac positive. What came first: the hen or the egg??<br/><br/>
