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.

YUP :D:P

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

Smunkeemom Enthusiast

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! ;)

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thank you for sharing all of this, Knitty Kitty! I did just want someone to share some commonality with. I did not know This one Deficiency was a thing and that it's common for Celiac Disease. It makes sense since this is a disorder that causes malabsorption. I will have to keep this in mind for my next appointments. You also just spurred me on to make that Dietician appointment. There's a lot of information online but I do need to see a professional. There is too much to juggle on my own with this condition.<3
