Hi...just want some input on multivitamin supplements for women(I'm 41).  Diagnosed with Celiac the Fall of 2011...doing a lot better(whoohoo), but still having fatigue. 

 

Also, I notice some multivitamins have "wheat grass"...I'm getting mixed input on whether or not it is ok.  My first reaction is "no" to anything with the word "wheat"...anyone know?

 

Thanks...

 

I just picked up Core Daily-1 by Country Life

I am a little over a year post-diagnosis. Last year at this time I was too sick to care about the holidays. The tempting food wasn't remotely tempting...I wasn't attending parties...I was surviving on scrambled eggs, bananas & homeade chicken soup.

This year I am trying to keep a thankful heart because I AM so thankful to be feeling better...not back to 100%, but better. However, I go through these periods of feeling overwhelmed by the fact that this is FOREVER!! I am reminded of that every time I go to a bridal shower, holiday gathering, out for dinner, etc. When I listen to everyone ooh & ahh over the food (that I can't eat),I have to check my own attitude. Somebody tell me it gets easier to have a good attitude!

So, some of you that have lived with Celiac or gluten-intolerance, could you give some ideas on handling holiday & party issues. What are some things you do when you are staying with relatives? Any fun ideas to make Christmas parties fun even though you can't eat 90% of what is served. I always offer to bring g.free goodies to share, but just wondering what some of you do to keep a positive attitude in the midst of such a lifestyle change?

Just curious if anyone out there has tried juicing raw veggies to help with healing the gut from Celiac? If so, let me know your thoughts, how long before you noticed some improvement, which veggies seemed to help the most, etc.

I am almost a year since being diagnosed with Celiac...was at dr last week as I still have some pretty significant left side pain...most of my other issues have resolved going gluten-free. Still having inflammation & a few other issues...thought I would give juicing a try.

Thanks for your input...

I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease last Fall...been gluten free since then. It seems like if I do get glutened, my reactions are getting worse. Is this typical...have I gotten even more sensitive? Any one else experience this?

Also, would any of you share what your body experiences when you get glutened? I am so strict with my diet that I can not even pinpoint where I would be getting gluten from, but I have had a couple really rough nights....severe stomach pain(more like intestinal pain because it's right in my middle section), then the diahrea hits, then the next day I have a "hung over" feeling with brain fog.

I don't know when what I experience is related to Celiac disease or something else not even related.

Thanks!

Does anyone deal with left side pain/pressure/bloated feeling? I am 9 months post-diagnosis & have had so many tests done. I am feeling so much better, but I still deal with this left side pain. It feels like there is something under my left ribs pushing up. I have gallbladder issues...HIDA scan showed it functioning at only 15%, but my doctor at Mayo wants to give that time to heal due to the small intestine damage. Maybe it is all related? All I know is it's driving me crazy & it often keeps me up for a few hours in the night. I am on probiotics & digestive enzymes.

Has anyone else dealt with this?

Thanks...
