1 Year Post Dx, Improving Slowly. Next Step?

Hi, I have been gluten-free for just over a year, and am really starting to see a few improvements.  My nails are getting stronger.  I have a horizontal ridge across them, and you can feel the difference in the thickness of them.  My hair is starting to grow back.  I have a fair bit of regrowth especially in the frount, which was looking very thin at diagnosis, it is mostly grey, but hair is hair, and I will gladly take what is given.  My brain fog is getting better.  I still can't think of the words that I want at times, but these times are getting less.  My mood is a lot brighter overall, but I still have bouts of depression when I get CC.

 

I still have pain in my muscles and joints and pins and needles all over, but this is slowly improving.  I still trip and fall over and still walk into things like door frames.  My headaches are better, and my sinus infections are a lot less frequent. 

 

Diet wise, I am still on suppliments, multivits/mins, probiotics, calcium/vit D, fish oil and glaucosimine.  I find that I just can't eat eggs, they make me feel sick just looking at them.  I also feel ill at the sight of chicken.  I have cravings for other meat though.  I remain lactose intolerant and have also reacted badly to codex wheat when I reintroduced that.  I went on a juice fast for about 3 weeks, and after the first 3-4 days felt really well and full of energy.  My skin really improved too.

 

I was thinking about going grain free, like paeleo, but without the cream and butter.  Has anyone tried this, or have any suggestions as to how I can keep on improving my health.  I know that I may still be healing, and maybe need to give it more time, but I would like to help nature along a bit if I can.

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific? 
    • mishyj
      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
