I just celebrated my 10yr anniversary this week and wanted to share with some of you who may be new to this crazy world were living in. It's not the end, when I found out I had Celiac I was 19 yrs old and thought my life was over how could I not eat and drink what my friends ate and drank. There was denial ( Or cheating) I found out very fast this was not the way i wanted to feel the rest of my life. I'm not very good at writing down my feelings so I will keep this short. My friends have been great in helping me cope with this disease and my only hope is that you all have the same. I'm 10 yrs in and I haven't givin up hope that one day food will no longer run my life, and if that day never comes.........then so be it I happy just to be able to share this.

p.s NO GRAIN NO PAIN ;)

Hi Jon, and welcome to our board. I've been gluten-free for ten months now, and wonder what it will be like in ten years. It's still hard, especially with all my other intolerances. I am glad you're doing well!

Congratulations! I'm 8 months in and still feeling like garbage. My denial wasn't bad enough to include cheating!!

I wish I would have known what was wrong with me at 19 instead of 36. It would have saved me a lot of grief and agony.

Jon, Thanks for posting this. I am 4 years into the diet and the changes have been incredible. I hope you will stick around you could give a lot of encouragement to some of the newbies that are struggling and feeling like there is no end to the changes and the misery. Welcome to the boards. My DS will be living in the Rochester area after he finishes his studies in December, he is an older student so close to your age, maybe you can clue us in on 'celiac freindly' places and things that he can do. He is a big time motor head and pool player and often is at a loss when he moves someplace new. We live a hour away and he had been going to Hennrietta to shoot billiards but hasn't found much else he can do. He has been gluten-free for 3 years and CC worries keep him kind of isolated at times.

Jon-Happy to have you on board and congratulations on your ten years! That is amazing and I'm sure you will provide much needed encouragement to all. I was dx two years ago at age 23---my first thoughts were, No midnight pizza!!!!!!!!!

And yet, we have both managed to survive. :D

      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...

      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
