Today marks 3 weeks since going gluten free. Overall I feel a world better!!! At first, I was sleeping really good (like the first week and a half), but for the last week and a half or so, I've had horrible insomnia. Now, I am a chronic insomniac anyway, but I was rather enjoying that week and a half of restful sleep
Not sure if it's a gluten thing or not, and hoping the constant waking up/not being able to sleep, doesn't continue on as regular of a basis as of late.
With that said, ov
So I went to my follow up appointment with my doctor today, 2 weeks since going gluten free. After HE said to go gluten free and it will help a great deal. So I go in, all excited, that in 2 weeks time my health has improved drastically (I was also put on Savella for fibromyalgia, and taken off my other fibromyalgia medication.)
Anyway, I love my doctor, he's the only one who has ever listening to me - really listened - and he's overall good with a great bedside manner. Anyways, so I'm exc

My fibromyalgia pain has gone from constant pain to, seriously, being decreased by over half (granted, I am also on a new fibro medication, but whatever it is is working, so I'm not going to question it!) I have noticed my focus has been slightly better, although it
Well, 7 days down... a whole week gluten free... and I'm feeling hopeful. Good sign, considering I really thought I'd be down in the dumps over this (thank you to this forum and the book 'Living Gluten Free for Dummies by Danna Korn for the push in the hopeful direction!)
We are making our very first grocery store trip this Friday, since my diagnosis. Surprisingly, I'm kind of excited.
I think the prospect of feeling better (which I am already starting to feel MUCH better) is contribut
I am getting a sleep study done tonight. My Oncologist referred me for one. I have had chronic insomnia since I was 15 years old. I am now 34. My sleep is awkward, and I go through phases where I literally can't sleep at all (despite being on sleep medication prescribed by my psychiatrist), or I will sleep too much. I also have very little energy. My partner, who works in the medical field, believes I have sleep apnea. I'm interested to finally be having a sleep study done because this wacky
Here it is, July 2014. I have been going through the run around since 2009 with possible celiac and/or gluten intolerance diagnosis. Over the years, I have not gotten a solid answer; and in the meantime other health issues had taken front seat to my possible gluten problems.
July 3, 2014: Diagnosis received.
So far so good with being gluten free. Today will be day #4.
