I'm so excited! I rode my bike twenty miles today! The last time I did this I was in bed for a week! I am amazed at the amount of stamina that I have had since going gluten free in February. I just had to tell people who would get it Thanks for letting me brag for a few minutes. Tara

That's fantastic! I miss being in shape like that.

It is 110 degrees where I live (Central CA) and we really can't even go outside today - - there are warnings and admonitions against all outdoor activity - dangerous air quality. Ugh, the heat hangs over us like a sticky, oppressive blanket. AND - - the power was out for three hours last night - biggest nightmare!

Point of all this is, I'm jealous that you live in an area where y ou can even GO outside! :angry:

Good for you. I did 30 miles yesterday and 25 today. The weather was absolutely perfect. 80 degrees and low humidity. Makes up for the six inches of rain last week.

Congrats!! That's great! :D Feeling like you can do the things again that you love is a great feeling... My energy has improved and I can work out now each week...but still have a ways to go before I hit anything "long-distance" again...

110 degrees is way too hot for me! Sorry you don't have the chance to be outside. It is like that here in Michigan in the winter, where it is just too cold to exercise outside. The humidity is quite high here as I live near Saginaw Bay. In the winter the humidity cuts right through my jacket and singes my nose hairs!

Good for you. I did 30 miles yesterday and 25 today. The weather was absolutely perfect. 80 degrees and low humidity. Makes up for the six inches of rain last week.

I also live in Michigan. It has been awesome weather!

I have had problems recently, but I think that it may be related to wine or oj. How has it been for you?

You should all race bikes! It's fun. And then we could make a Celiac.com team!

SkinnyMinny, I know what you mean! Last bike I had was a standard, with foot brakes and spider bars. That was in 79, so I don't know how far I'll be able to go on my new one! I went to my local bike shop and talked the guys there. They were very helpful about what I needed, and ordered one for me. Now I am waiting for it to arrive so I can start riding.

      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.
