Hi, I am new here but I have alot of questions. First of all I was dignosed with celiac about 2 months ago, once I went off gluten all of my symtoms stoped in 2 days. But now I have a problem all of my symtoms seem to be coming back, I have not changed anything I am extremly gluten free, I have all my meals made at a place called gluten free meals and that is all I eat. I don't know if I developed a new allergy or what is going on but I do not feel well and haven't for 2 weeks. Can anyone help????

have you checked your medications and personal care products? things like shampoos, lotions, even makeup all have to be gluten-free

also, many newly dx'ed celiacs have a problem with dairy initially. You may need to eliminate dairy for a while until your system begins to heal.

I have a newbie survival kit that I can e-mail to you if you want it... just e-mail me at nisla@comcast.net and in the subject put "request newbie survival kit"

jumping on this question thing....what is whey flour and can we eat it? I guess I don't understand what it is and it's not listed as something we can't eat.

OH and found my first box that said GLUTEN free...Wal-mart Brand mashed potato flakes! :lol:

I just found some of WalMart brand stuff that said gluten free on it too and you should have seen me! I just about embarrassed myself! I was sooo happy! People started looking at me funny when I yelled out "LOOK IT SAYS GLUTEN FREE!!!!!! I CAN EAT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!" :lol: I made myself laugh at that one! LOL. One question I have too is how do you know when shampoos, lotions, etc have gluten? I don't know what ingredients are gluten infested. Do you know how I can find out without calling all the manufacturers?

Don't worry I get all excited and bounce around and dance when I see things are gluten-free.

I just realized something, it was horselover's name. I will never be able to kiss horses velvety lips again.

horselover,

This also happened to me. Felt great and that felt bad. I think what happens is that we get more sensitive to VERY tiny amounts of gluten and at first our bodies are just happy to be rid of the majority of it. Just go over what you are eating and be sure that nothing is being contaminated by gluten. Also check your lipsticks and if you are touching any gluten throughout the day. Also what you drink, etc. Hopes this helps. Also like someone said it could be dairy, but usually as you heal for six months or so you can reintroduce it to your diet. Hope you start feeling better.

Call the manufacturers. Garnier Fructis is ok. Unilever (Suave, salon selctives, dove....) will list things, but some don't. Garnier sent me a list of chemical agents that can have gluten in them and most of them don't look glutenous. Softsoap, lubriderm, and baby magic are ok. My daughter had severe reactions to a curel lotion I was using. You can also get the Delphi list. It has a lot of saft stuff on there. If you don't, PM me and I'll try to find my electronic copy. Someone here was kind enought to send it to me.

horselover - I thought I was doing so good on the diet at first and then I started learning more and found htings I was eating had gluten in them. I takes a while to get it down pat. I don't know if this is happening to you, but it did to me. What kind of horses are you into? My dad used to train show horses, saddlebreds mostly. I miss them so much! My last horse passed 3 years ago.

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
