I've had over 10 years of illness... back and forth to every kind of doctor there is to see if someone could help me.  I had no way of linking all of my health issues to "one condition" such as Celiac.  ....Finally a diagnosis...  I've been gluten free for a year now and today, i feel sad.... Probably because I am in physical pain.  Will I ever feel like me again?  I've shrunk in height (which explains the horrible bone, joint, foot pain), and now I am experiencing back pain along with it.  I am in physical therapy -- I am only 37 years old and I weigh 138 lbs.  I feel like my body will never be the same.  My foot pain came back -- some days are worse than others.  I am assuming this nerve pain is permanent considering it is not improving anymore than "what is".. although I'll admit that it feels 10x worse when I eat gluten accidentally.  I am a generally happy person, however, this bodily pain has put a damper on my social/active life.  I used to love soccer and now I think to myself, "Oh Gosh, how bad am I going to feel the next morning after a soccer game?" ..or "What if I sprain my ankle again?" ....there is often times a loss of feeling in my feet (or the opposite which is stabbing, burning pain).  Anyone else experience this type of thing?  Words of encouragement out there?  Thanks, guys!  Melissa.  

I've had foot pain for years, but over the past few years it had progressively gotten worse until I was finally diagnosed by my local doctor with Celiac Disease. Once following the strict gluten free diet, I found it was also helping the mysterious foot pain and slow ankle sprains healing in my feet. Am I the only one to notice/have this?

I was diagnosed with Celiac on 9 September 2010. I've had Hypoglycemia (as a result of Pancreatitis) about 6 years ago. I'm strictly following the Hypoglycemia/Celiac Diet yet my body is still going crazy. I can't seem to control my blood sugar at all and I dont know why?? My body is up and down, hormonal, and on a psychological rollercoaster these days for some reason. What am I doing wrong? Any diet ideas? Personal stories? Insomnia has kicked in because my sugar levels are not balanced. Melissa
