Some General Advice Having Started Diet

Hi, having recently been diagnosed and started a 100% gluten free diet how long did it take people to start seeing a reduction in the morning and evening tiredness? The stomach symptoms appear to go relatively quickly. Does anybody else suffer from itching of the skin? Thanks for taking the time to look at the post

Hi Simon--welcome to the board!

Everyone's reactions vary, but I began to feel less fatigue after about 4 months gluten-free. But, after almost a year, I still get tired easily, and of course more so when glutened or when I eat something I'm intolerant to. I also get the skin itching--no rash--just itchy skin. In addition to being gluten-free, I switched my laundry detergent--I use Purex Free & Clear. I make sure my shampoo, conditioner, soap and lotion are gluten-free and SLS free as well. This has helped me. Best of luck with everything! :)

I probably didn't start to feel better from the fatigue for at least a year. I still get fatigued really easily and get itchy skin... I'm probably also intolerant to dairy, but I'm not willing to give that up yet! LOL!

On average, the intestinal healing takes about two years, but symptoms vary, depending on how gluten-free you are and how often you are accidentally exposed to gluten. Even after 3 years I still get accidental glutenings and I am very careful... just do the best you can.

healing times vary greatly. I was feeling a fair amount better within a few weeks, myself, but there's nothing for it but to see how quickly (or slowly) you feel better, unfortunately.

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      I have been using a little bit of Lubriderm when I wash my hands because it’s the lotion offered at a place I frequent once a week. Assuming it was gluten-free I bought a bottle. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting gluten EVERY night. I use a little of the lotion in the morning on my neck, with no reaction, but at night, I use it on my arms and legs and face and get gluten gut pretty bad. After eight nights of having to have diphenhydramine injections for severe gluten, I googled “is Lubriderm gluten-free” and it led me to this forum. I am going to go back to olive oil as I have been gut sick sooooooo bad with a huge gut and pain eight days in a row now. Sick of feeling sick.

      These look great!  I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By ShariW · Posted

      When I had to go gluten-free, the rest of my family still ate gluten. They still eat regular bread products and crackers, but there are no other gluten-containing foods in the house. I bought a separate toaster that is only used for gluten-free products, and thoroughly cleaned all cookware, dishes and surfaces. We do have to be very careful with cross-contact, for instance when someone else is making a sandwich with wheat bread. Then I went through my cupboards and pantry, I set aside everything else with gluten and gave it away - flour and baking mixes, pasta, etc. So when I cook any recipe that calls for flour (perhaps for thickening) or bread crumbs like Panko, I only use gluten-free. My...
