I can't believe I've beenn gluten-free for 1 year!!!! The first couple months were a little tough but it quickly got easier.

Thanks to everyone here, I'm not sure what I would have done without everyone's knowledge and help.

Congratulations Jillian, I'm making you our expert on time (for today) since you're at exactly one year: Do you feel entirely better by now? If so, when did you?

I actually started to feel better right away. I was really sick by the time I was diagnosed though. I was pretty much nauseaus for about 9 years and right before I was diagnosed it was to the point that I'd be pulling over on the side of the Cross Bronx Expwy. to uncontrollably puke after eating. I had total villoscophy. The doctor said it was one of the worst cases he's seen. So that said, anything made me feel better than the way I was feeling.

But not everyone feels better immediately. In fact I think most people don't. So don't monitor your progress by others. Everyone is different. And thanks!!!

Oh and fyi... Mama's is closed for renovation. Very sad about my anniversary dinner.

Congratulations! A year doesn't always sound like a long time, but it is. It's a long road and a lot of hard work so good for you :)

      @nanny marley, Have you been taking any vitamins or mineral supplements besides Vitamin D? What are you eating?  Do you eat processed gluten free foods?   You said your symptoms included fatigue, body hair loss, low vitamin d,  Restless Leg Syndrome, Raynaud's Syndrome, contact dermatitis, rhinitis, body aches, TMJ, heart palpitations, sleep issues, vomiting,  dizziness, frequent bowel movements. There's eight B vitamins and Vitamin C that are water soluble.  When one has diarrhea for extended periods of time, those water soluble essential vitamins are flushed out of the body easily, and there's little time to absorb any more water soluble vitamins or fat soluble vitamins from food moving through that fast.   It's easy to become vitamin deficient with diarrhea.   Deficiency in Vitamin B1, Thiamine, can result in Gastrointestinal BeriBeri which can also cause diarrhea, fatigue, and abdominal pain.  Deficiency in Vitamin B3, Niacin, can cause diarrhea as well as skin rashes, and sleep issues.  Deficiency in Vitamin B12, Cobalamine, can cause diarrhea and Restless Leg Syndrome.  Deficiency in Vitamin C can cause diarrhea and skin rashes. Thiamine deficiency can also cause heart palpitations, sleep issues, and vomiting.  Have you had your thyroid checked?  Hypothyroidism can cause body hair loss, as can iron deficiency.   I've experienced serious nutritional deficiencies which my doctors did not recognize as such and blamed me for making stuff up.  I've experienced these nutritional deficiencies.  I earned a degree in Microbiology after studying nutrition because I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.  Vitamins are special organic compounds that our bodies cannot make, so we must get them from food or supplements.  Without these vitamins, our bodies cannot function well. Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with vitamins and minerals that are lacking on the gluten free diet.  Blood tests for deficiencies in the B vitamins are not accurate.  Taking a B Complex and looking for health improvement is best.   I've got serious vision problems and would really appreciate punctuation.  Thanks P.S.  I take a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12 and Pyridoxine B6 for back pain from crushed vertebrae.  I understand back pain.  These vitamins together relieve pain.

      Ii wasn't asked about that she just said if you can't tk the gluten diet have colonoscopy to check for cancer has my van had it and because I'd had naproxen for stomach ulcers but I stopped that a  while back but I've been very ill this week with the back issues so I can't have the colonoscopy too someone said ask for the virtual one it's much easier for people who have body issues too but I'm not sure I can request that if she doesn't think I need that she was basically saying IBS because Ive suffered since age 25 but that's Wen the back started too and I'm sure high calprotein isn't with IBS I've been low in iron Wen I was jounger and I'm always low in vitamin d I take my own supplement for that now there is definitely something going off its been too long a drawn out problem with added symptoms so I i will keep investigating

      King Arthur Gluten-free bread flour contains wheat starch, but has had the gluten removed. According to the FDA, it meets the FDA's gluten-free standard of less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten. Has anyone here tried to bake bread from this? If yes, did you have a reaction? Thank you in advance for your time and attention.
