:( Just not doing well. I guess I should have stayed on this forum and let you guys help me and lean on the support. I just always felt like you would think I was a stupid old woman. I have done someting wrong all along and started getting well and then not. It has been one step forward two steps back it seems. Really it has probably been two forward and one back but it doesnt feel like that. There have been a couple of you that helped me so much right at first and I love you so much for it. You are the best people and it is like everyone on her becomes on big family. This is the place to be if we all want to get well. Thankyou all. Barb

Barb,

I'm new, so I'll accept your thanks only in the broad sense of being part of the board. I find the folks here have helped me as well. There are so many hidden sources of gluten - and there are so many symptoms and setbacks - it's nice to hear from real live human beings who know so much more and so much more intimately than doctors.

I'm sorry you're not feeling well. I know that in the two months since I've gone gluten-free, I've gotten certain symptoms back (that I had lost when I quit wheat two years ago), some new ones, and many others have gone. But it is like playing chess - sometimes you give up a man - hopefully you end up taking the table in the end. That's a silly analogy, sorry.

One thing this Celiac definitely does - it forces you to really pay attention to your body - what works for you, what doesn't work for you. It takes a lot of experimentation. I think it takes a lot of letting go of what conventional wisdom has long told us. Often those "milk does a body good" or "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" have less than altruistic beginnings.

Anyway, stick with it. Hope you feel better. It seems that most folks suggest first quitting dairy, soy, and corn, to see if it is secondary food intolerances. I'm glad you're back, and I'm sure you're not a stupid old woman.

I'm sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well, I often feel that I am taking two steps forward and sliding back one or sometimes that I'm taking one step forward and two steps back. :(

Please don't put yourself down for struggling with this.

Don't be too hard on yourself. There is a wealth of knowledge to learn and it's available on this board. Keep you chin up and go through whether you are accidentally getting glutened...if not then maybe check out other allergies like dairy and soy.

:D Hello, join the crowd, I have not been here long either but I sure have learned a lot from these buddies here on the forum. I too have thought smooth sailing just to have a back set most recently from eating wrong kind of choclate, just got too brave; had not been eating it at all. Was mainly eating the basics of meat, vegs, fruit, nuts and some alternate cereals, just recently a bit of baking 2 times a week. Some can't handle any grains for cereal or baking, may come on me too but not yet. I lost 25lbs over 3 mos. but am now gaing a bit back but my strength level seems to lag more than I want, it is summer and so much to do/ garden & flowers & etc such as walk around town. We just have to learn from others posts and go at our own level & you never get to old to learn. do not think any one is older than i am, will have my 78th BD 9/17/06 and we will celebrate our 60th anniversary 7/13/06. Hubby has helped me so much last 6 months, but I need to get better so I can do same for him not too far away from now. Just hang in there & let us know any specifics we can help you with?!? :(:blink:;) evie

You know, Barb, lacking knowledge and being stupid are two entirely different things. If you don't know something, and you ask questions so you can learn how to handle this complex cf diet to get well, I personally would think you are very SMART! Because having somebody else share their knowledge is the best and easiest way to learn.

So, ask away, learn, and remember: There is no such thing as a stupid question!

DItto the above...no one will think you are stupid...Celiac can be a bewildering disease and we only learn by reading and asking questions.....stick around.

Are you quite sure you've removed all gluten? Have you developed - that you can tell - other food intolerances? Might you have a dairy intolerance? I remember someone here recorded her entire food intake for people to analyze - maybe you could do that?

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...

      The Happy Tart review

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Ibuprofen

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
