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.

      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...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      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-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      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
