Hungry Hope Newbie

I'll be turning 40 soon and I've always had tummy issues as long as I can remember. After a lifetime of mysterious medical symptoms (joint pain that's not arthritis, unexplained back and neck pain, terrible GI problems, foggy mind, forgetfulness, terrible fatigue....) I finally found information online about Celiac disease. I went straight to a specialist who took me off of gluten and dairy. I tested negative for Celiac but I believe it to be a false result because my symptoms match so exact to what others suffer with, plus many members of my family have the same problems. I believe my grandmother died from complications related to it. (early 1990s))

Since being gluten/dairy free I'm about 80% better. I'm still getting the hang of it. I'm glad I found this message board!!! Reading the posts here have been sooo helpful! <3

I am extremely intolerant to gluten and still tested negative for Celiac disease. If removing gluten is making you better, please stick to it. I've been strictly gluten/dairy/soy free for 16 months and it's bettered my life in so many ways.

Thanks Kwylee and Tira :-) I wish I'd known about a gluten free diet years ago. Being so sick all of those years affected my life in major ways.

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.
