Ok I am going on 6 months Gluten Free :) I do have to report I am feeling so much better!! Yes I have the problem of my face swelling a bit sometimes but I will get that checked out. But I have truly gotten some energy back! I think that was more the Corn Intolerance , after I quit eating HFCS everything started to get better! I have some fog clearing and everything!! Now If I can get the energy to clean my house before xmas !! That would be amazing! I do want to thank everyone here for all their help. I couldn't do it with out any of you! Alot of knowledge from you folks! It took alot of guess work out of the equation for me! Just to be able to sit down and have a meal and not have to excuse my self is wonderful!! I'd say you have nooo idea but sadly most of you do have every idea! So Thank you everyone!! From the bottom of my heart!! almost 6 months!! I guess I should put the Corn intolerance in my signature also!

Yeaaa, Congratulations!

I can't wait to have more energy, too. Some days I think I have a bit more but most days it's like I've been hit by a mack truck.

Anyway, keep up the great work  :D

Happy Anniversary, and many more  healthful ones to you .  Lately, I just start some housekeeping project, I delve in deep.  Suddenly I realize that I have somewhere I need to be, or a meal to make.  The time just flies while absorbed in something.

You know looking back at where I was , I am grateful!! I am so grateful! I have got a DX for my problem and do I have a few more problems? Yes I do! but I am in no way shape and form in the place I was in! So I am very grateful I have found my problem and not suffered like some have for sooo many years. I feel for so many of you! I will figure out what my other problems are and be even more grateful!!!! Jeeze some of you suffer with so many intolerances !! I hope I can just learn from you all!!

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight.  My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she suggested it.

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.
