No one has noticed more than my husband!! He keeps saying, "Who are you and what did you do with my wife?!!" I think it has something to do with not being fatigued and in a fog bank all the time.

Don't know about me yet. Just recently gluten free and with the baby and not starting my cycle yet, that makes a difference. I used to respond via where I was in my cycle so I'll be curious to see whether that is the same or not. Time will tell.

Yes and no, mostly no. I was still feeling pretty crappy even 4 months in, and now I'm on a challenge...so...ask me in a year? :unsure:

Not to say that it's bad!!! It's great, so maybe there's not much room for improvement :P

mine wasn't ever anything but wonderful. :P however, after cuddles have improved due to my lack of sharp tummy pains. :D I can be super happy about that. B)

Gluten free hasn't changed anything. My sex life got fantastic when I got out of my bad marriage and met my wonderful boyfriend a year and a half ago.

no change. but there are other medical issues I deal with in that realm (vulvar vestibulitis).

Mine depends on how my stomach is feeling. I'm up and down on the gluten free thing so on the good days my sex life is good. On the other days it's stay away my stomach is the size of a 5 month pregnant women. I'm glad those are few and fare between.

Let you know after empy nest plays out....but looking for no surprises. I hate surprises. :ph34r:

Sigh -- I know it would be better if I weren't in the aftermath of a breakup. Okay, enough self-pity for one day!

I grant you a little bit more, but only if you also have a gluten free snack with it, like....... some........ice cream.

Edit:

Nevermind -- Ice cream sounds like a good idea.......

Actually, I've discovered the wonders of semi-professional massage -- don't know why I hadn't come up with this one earlier -- I happen to live in a town with a world-class massage school, so there are lots of students running around looking to give free massage so they can meet their pre-licensing quotas.

And, I'm abusing the attentions of a male friend with whom I have absolutely no sexual chemistry -- having established that we are _never_ going to hook up (I was a lot more diplomatic in my discussion of this with him), I feel free to cuddle on the couch and watch movies with him.

My body is ridiculously ready to go out and play again -- I've developed another layer of voluptuousness (a word I would never have used to describe mysef before) over the last few months. However, I know I'm absolutely not not not healed emotionally enough from my breakup yet to even consider sex with another person -- not to mention the fact that I have no idea in my head how one might go about finding said person.

you can have fun though, go to the movies, learn to play a sport. volunteer somewhere. getting out of the house and being around people will help you heal emotionally and you won't be sitting around thinking about "you know what"

just my unprofessional advice though...LOL

I still think ice cream is a good idea (of course I really am craving that right now........mmmm......chocolate....)

carriecraig Enthusiast

Yes, absolutely. My husband and I have been together for over 10 years, married for 3, and it's like we are in the beginning of our relationship all over again. It's fantastic! ;)

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?

      Okay went online to check green mountain k cups .It was said that the regular coffees are fine but they couldn’t guarantee cross contamination.with the flavors. im trying to figure out since I eliminated the suyrup so far so good. I’m hoping. thanks it feels good to listen to other people there views.
    • Teaganwhowantsanexpltion
      Thank you I will i have been on a strict gluten free diet ever since I got diagnosed but sometimes places lie about there food so there r some things that do get contaminated which causes me to throw up on end for several hours until I can't hold myself up anymore
