Hi Steph,

 

Welcome!  Would you care to share your story?  How were you diagnosed?  What are you doing for it?  Is it an easy transition?  Are you making improvements yet?  How long were you sick?

 

My story.  I had symptoms 30 years.  The worst symptoms were mind fog and extreme fatigue.  I have been gluten free 2 years.  I am making improvements having some energy.  My mind is clear and working!  I hope to hear such from you soon!

Hello and welcome. I'm new here too - about 2 weeks. Worst symptoms for me is stomach problems, and fatigue. Have you been at this long? I'm still trying to figure it all out!

Hello,

Thanks for writing! Very new to this... Yes stomach problems and fatigue!! Then oddly when I was fasting, I felt so much better... It then occurred to me as I started to eat again that it was the gluten... Sure enough within an hour of gluten, I'd feel it...

I feel happier too! Is that weird? Could it be related?

Welcome Steph!

 

If you haven't been tested for Celiac Disease, you should do so as soon as possible.  Ingesting gluten is essential to give the celiac antibody tests their best chance for accuracy....no need to overdo it -- a slice of glutenous bread per day until the testing process is complete is plenty.

 

Let us know if you have any questions :)

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?

      I can eat wheat products safely and without discomfort when traveling to Mexico, Outer Mongolia, and Japan. I feel that US wheat, barley, and rye are grown from genetically-modified seeds that have had something unhealthy done to them, that causes a bad reaction in many of us.

      I think all barley and barley malt  have gluten. I would avoid it. The only gluten-free beer I've tried that tastes good is by Holidaily, a Colorado brewery. Their Fat Randy's IPA is great, except that it's almost impossible to find and grocers won't order it (they're at the mercy of their "food distributors," who seem to hate Holidaily). If you can find any Holidaily, try it--it's great. Never mind Spain -;)
