I have been to this site thousands of times and not realized there was a message board. I found out about my gluten intollerance about 5 years ago and have struggled with my love of food verus feeling sick constantly. I am so glad you all are here to support and share.

My mom just found out she has the same problem and it seems like every one meet knows at least one person with this.

I look forward to meeting you all!

Welcome Sarah - we're glad you found the board! I'm a newbie to the diet and after my biopsy I asked my Mother to get tested. She says she will (been looking for what's wrong for over two years to no avail) but she recently had a beach vacation and she also has a cruise coming up in the summer so I'm looking for that to be her next excuse as to wait to get tested. How did you get your Mother to get tested, if you don't mind my asking?

I am new too, and this is an awesome website. I am really excited to be able to chat withg people who understand. I have great friends, but unless yo go through it, you just don't understand. My son has been gluten-free for 4.5 years now. It seeems even hard to find a doctor who can really help. So, I am excited to be able to relate with people who can really relate. Thank You!

thank you for your warm welcome!

How did you get your Mother to get tested, if you don't mind my asking?

My mom is a smart woman and knew from all I had been through that it was very likely that she had the same problem. She did it all on her own and is doing much better. She had gotten to an extrememe point before getting tested but the tests - as with me- weren't really conclusive. She started the diet and started feeling a lot better pretty quickly.

Thats awesome that your mom has gone Gluten Free. My mom also has, after inconclusive tests, and is miraculously feeling better. I think she's still fighting a little bit, but she's doing really well and has jumped right into gluten free baking, which is nice :)

Welcome to the forum, it can be an odd place sometimes, but its helpful and fun and uplifting as well.

Sarah, Welcome! I am somewhat new too, but I have been SO encouraged here!

--Elonwy--ODD is GOOD isn't it? Better than BORING, right?!!! Where else, besides maybe a nursing home, can you hear so many discussions on POOP?

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      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…

      Nausea

      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...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      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...

      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

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.
