During my celiac, my weight constantly went down. I am 5'8'' and hit a low of 78 lbs. We were all so, so scared, and it got to the point that I couldn't walk anymore.

Anyway, we found out I was eating Bob's carob powder (almost daily I would have a hot carob drink) and that is not from his gluten free facility.

As soon as I had it out of my diet... and clearly out of my system, it seems like things have FINALLY started healing.

I am at 92lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IN THREE WEEKS!!!!!!!

I am VERY excited, and they were going to hospitalize me tomorrow, and I might not have to go. I am so excited about this fourteen pounds that I can't even think.

Yay!

YAAAAYYY!!! I bet you have a very good argument for not going to the hospital. Promise the dr. that if your weight ever goes down just by even one pound, you'll let him know, and keep in contact with his office every day about your weight, maybe you won't have to be admitted. Besides, who ever got healthy on hospital food? :P

Congratulations!!

I'm glad I read your post. I bought the carob powder and wanted to have it for christmas night. I did notice it didnt have the gluten-free label so I was confused as to why its not made on the gluten-free line. Isnt carob naturally gluten-free? Why would they package it with the non-gluten-free stuff? Anyway, at the last minute I decided not to try it. After reading this it looks like I made the right decision (for once). :)

I'm SO glad you didn't eat it! I've got sick off of the cornmeal, too - unfortunately, I didn't know about all that gluten-free labelling stuff with those products until it was too late.

      Ibuprofen

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      By Colleen H · Posted

      I think I found a huge culprit for severe reactions to create worsening of my c symptoms. Do people with celiac have sensitivity and /or have opposite reaction to certain medications Where can I find a list ?  I'm new here I'm.wondering why I am getting worse when I take certain medicine...the burning feet.  Rebound muscle pain so intense  How many people get opposite effects or have a horrible attack after these meds

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      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. 🙏🏻❤️

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Juliane · Posted

      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…
