How long did it take you to get your energy back and for the deadly fatigue to go away!!???

How long did it take you to see even slight improvements on a gluten-free diet?

How long did it take you to be able to go back to your previous activities that you were involved in prior to being sick?

Is just over two weeks too short of time to really see improvements?

To your last question OH YEAH.

Took me over two months to feel better, but the acid poops stopped within a couple of weeks, but the D continues, even today after 6 months. Although it comes back when I feel that I have been glutened.

I took B-12 shots once a week for about a month and they really helped with the energy level.

We are all in this for the long haul. I don't expect to be physically and emotionally adjusted for at least a year.

At six months, I am now in a new stage. I feel very fragile, a little withdrawn, introspective and seriously in need of a self-pep-talk. I think we all go through stages. Take your time, be patient on press on. You will have up times and down times. In the beginning your are so busy learning and riseing up to the challenge. I still enjoy the grocery store as it is a challenge for me. There are a many bumps in the road. That is the real challenge.

I think that I am talking to myself. ....Hope this was helpful and not too down. I kinda feel that way today.

Keep on keeping on, that's the only way to go. :)

I didn't start to feel close to 100% better until about 1 year on the gluten-free diet. I was having major energy problems up until then.

I started to notice some improvement after 6 months on the diet.

How long did it take you to be able to go back to your previous activities that you were involved in prior to being sick?
I took about 2 weeks off of soccer when my energy levels were near zero. Other than that, I kept working on my master's degree throughout the whole thing and never really took any time off (maybe a day or two here and there). I probably should have though.

It's been 10 months for me and I am just now saying that I am feeling better. I am still not feeling 100% but hopefully will eventually. It was awhile before I had more good days than bad. Hang in there. It is a slow process. Be patient and stick to the diet. It might take awhile but you will feel better. :) Fatigue was one of my main symptoms. Give your body time yo heal! Your energy will come back.

      According to research, consuming gluten can potentially trigger sudden mood swings and increased irritability in children, particularly those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, making them more likely to have tantrums or display behavioral issues; this is because gluten can trigger an immune response in the body, potentially impacting brain function and neurotransmitter levels.  When my son was diagnosed in 1976 when he was weaned his doctor told us that at 5 years old his kindergarden teacher would beg us to put him on Ritalin.  And so it did happen.  My son was on Ritalin though high school.  In the morning he was a devil who could not put on his socks. Half an hour after the morning dose he was an angel wanting to help mom get ready.  Talk about Jekyll and Hyde! Dr Danel Amen could be a good resource for you.

      Yes, it certainly can! My daughter has a reaction from just playing with Playdough. She doesn't get GI symptoms at first, just psychological mostly. It can get really bad. It's like night/day behavior. My daughter is eight, but started showing signs around 6.

      The easiest way to remember the difference between the cholesterol types is HDL;   H=healthy equals healthy (omega 3, 7, limit 6 & 9 MCFA'S =Medium Chain Fatty Acids. 3= coconut oil, 7= sunflower oil, avocado. The higher your HDL the healthier you are & less likely to experience strokes, clogged arteries Etc. You can even use cold expeller pressed coconut oil on your skin and that is the best kind of coconut oil to eat as well. You want your HDL much higher than your LDL, it will help you stay healthy.   LDL;    L=Lousy. Meat fats, processed fats.  The higher your LDL is the more likely you will have strokes, clogged artery is, heart disease, fatty liver.   Then there's lipids... they are the culprit to be blamed for many heart attacks and things like that they are very small round particles that transport fats. You can have a low overall cholesterol reading and most of it be healthy cholesterol and have a ton of lipids and there's nothing you can do to change the lipid count. High number of lipids is very dangerous.   I'm going on statins is extremely dangerous if you ask me it's just completely my opinion, because I have seen so many of my elderly friends bleed to death internally because of the statins. I mean you wouldn't take all the oil and grease out of your car or a motorcycle and then try to drive it that way would you? You see that's what statins do they remove all of your bodies fats and it doesn't matter whether it's healthy fats or a lousy fats. It removes all of them and then your body can't function properly. You have to have fats to keep your skin supple and to stay warm. Your body also needs fats to digest & process certain nutrients, amino acids & vitamins.   Your brain is composed of fat so is that something you really want to remove with a pill every morning and night?   The thing about statins is that they also make the blood vessels and capillaries permeable. So this is how my friends who were on cardiac medication for a long time and statins ended up bleeding internally to death.   If you want to make sure that your heart is healthy, take odorless garlic at night and magnesium, vitamin K & calcium.

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.
