Hi everyone,

I've just been diagnosed with celiac and feel completely overwhelmed, so I'm glad to see this board.

I'd like to know how long it took folks to start feeling better after beginning a gluten-free diet?? Thanks!

Welcome! Theres a lot of great people here with tons of support. I think everyone is different in how long it takes to feel better. I have been gluten-free since January. I no longer have to run to the bathroom. I hope you feel better soon :)

I have been gluten free since Oct 2005. It took a while to be able to digest even the simpliest of foods. I think everyone is different. The one thing that this board helped me get thru and remind me time after time, is that it does get better. It may take some time.. but you will feel better.

Welcome! Any questions you may have, just post them here and they will be answered. The people here are great!

Hi and welcome to you too! It is very overwhelming at first, and this messageboard can help answer a lot of your questions.

I started feeling better after a couple of months on the gluten-free diet. I'd say by a year, I will be completely healed, and feeling like I did before my Celiac diagnosis.

Welcome to the board. I have been gluten-free since Nov 28,2005 and without this board I don't know how I would have ever survived. We are like one extended family, so like a family sometimes we debate things and have different opinions. However, we all basically get along and you can learn more here than anywhere else. There are no stupid questions here. Everyone has different lengths of time it takes them to get better. So although some things changed within the first week for me there are still things that are not all super duper. I certainly know when I have been glutened and I can tell within five minutes.

It becomes like a natural part of life for you and you will learn there is so much we can still hanve and good replacements for the stuff we can't have. Email me if you need any help at all.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.
