Hello, all! I've been reading your posts for a couple of days and now I thought I'd introduce myself. Some friends from a WebMD board told me how wonderful you all were, so I thought I'd find out for myself.

My name is Toni (on WebMD it's Ann.....long story! LOL). Anyway, I'm 33 and have had over the years:

asthma

chronic sinus infections

Reynaud's Syndrome

Nerve pain (presumably from my bad back)

Migraines

panic attacks/anxiety

chronic acid reflux

chronic diarrhea

bloating/gas

Restless Leg Syndrome

arthritis (the one that finally sent me over the edge!)

I went to the dr and went through a series of tests (blood test and endoscopy biopsy came up negative) I went lactose free, and when that didn't work I went MILK free. And, when that didn't work and I found out I have arthritis, I decided to FINALLY listen to some very nice people who said CELIAC, CELIAC, CELIAC!!! lol

I am doing a gluten-free trial on my own, as my GP thinks it's impossible to have celiac because its so rare, and my gastro dr thinks it's not possible either because the blood test was negative. Well, that may be, but I'm SICK AND TIRED of being SICK AND TIRED so I went ahead with the diet anyway because I can' imagine at this point what else could be going on with me.

What I'm hoping to get from all of you is some support, and some answers to those stupid questions everyone asks in the beginning.

A little more personal background on me: I'm married 13 years, and have 3 wonderful boys. Our 12 y.o. has Asperger's and is selectively mute. Our 9 y.o. has OCD and Tourette's (and I'm not ruling out celiac, as I do recall some antibody showing up on his bloodwork that had us scared about juvenile arthritis or some other auto-immune disease and he has chronic diarrhea as well), and our 2 y.o. has verbal apraxia and SID and is being potty trained FINALLY! We all live in NJ with our dog, Mandy, and our cat, Koocha.

I hope to get to know all of you!!

Hi Toni--welcome! :)

You've come to the right place for advice/support with the gluten-free diet.

Read over the old posts--there's a ton of information here. Anything you can't find an answer to, feel free to ask!

Anyway, at least you know that something you said got through to SOMEone, right? LOL

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight.  My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she suggested it.

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
