Hi. I don't know if I'm imagining this; but I have always had frequent urination thing: up to 5 times in an hour... I just realized that that has all about stopped. Anyone else? Share your weird-good-side effect :)

Yes, I've noticed that same thing with the urination frequency. Besides getting well from acid reflux, diarrhea and constipation both every day--having to go up to 15 times per day for several years...loud stomach noises and pains, etc.

Now my stomach is very quiet and calm...very smooth and painless digestion. I used to have bad gas and passing the gas felt like passing razor blades through my a$$. Lots of uncomfortable pains and stuff. Now it seems my entire whatever you wanna call it...a$$h*l@, has disappeared from my body. I just don't go around noticing it anymore, if that makes sense. I think it used to just feel like a big wound all the time.

Also, I feel my chest is more clear (although I never would've called it a symptom this time a year ago, but now I just feel my breathing is better) and I don't have to clear my throat all the time like I used to.

I haven't had a cold yet since going gluten free. Of course, it's only been a year, but I'm waiting to see if my next cold goes into my chest as bad as they always have--I'm thinking there might be some improvement with that, since my breathing just feels better now anyway.

I can tell which lever in my car opens the gas cap and which one opens the trunk without having to stare at the little pictures for a long time and try to figure it out.

I used to get very congested in my throat after eating certain foods too.... CRAZY!

My urination frequency reduced too. Mine was never as bad as 5x an hour; it was more like once an our. But I'm still not normal ---- yet!

Yes my frequency of urinating went down too, and I don't need to get up in the middle of the night either. Good symptom not to have on cold nights.

Another thing I realised yesterday that during holidays I now no longer need a nanny nap in the afternoon.

Another exciting side effect for me is that I am becoming a health nut, like I always wanted to be, but never knew how to.

my breasts have become fuller :rolleyes: I think gluten may have been messing with my hormones

Also dark circles under the eyes are better, and my skin is ultra clear.

That's a good one and I can relate. The dark circles are going away and all my friends are telling me how much better I look. Ah...no one mentioned anything when I apparently looked like crap. <_<

That's so interesting. I too have noticed fuller breasts (easy to notice when you hardly had any) and improved dark circles.

Other than the commonly noticed improved GI tract, I also have noticed no longer being covered in bruises and no more itchy rashes. I went gluten free 2 months ago.

      Welcome to the forum, @Tlbaked13! Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease? It is well-known that celiac disease can result in peripheral neuropathy but so can diabetes.

      Lactic acid bacteria start to develop as soon as flour and water are mixed, so I assumed that in a yeast dough with long proofing time there could be some effect of fermentation and gluten break down.

      I am COMPLETELY new to this celiac disease however I have had the same feelings and then some with my feet for years now and been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy myself but they blamed and attempted to treat due from my type 1 diabetes and none of the treatment has helped at all so far so possible from celiac disease? Just sharing MY thoughts on this I've had zero confirmation

      I've not heard of the DNA test I will definitely look into that. And I did not know that the neuropathy was symptoms of vitamin deficiency. I have been trying to get on a good vitamin regimen. Thank you!

      My GI Doctor took blood work and said my Iron levels were actually high. But they took my blood a couple weeks after my infusion so I'm thinking that's why they were showing so high, but they knew I had the infusions. The infusions did help greatly but I am also on an Iron pill that I can instantly notice if I have not taken it for a few days.  Yes, I have read up on that! Thank you so much! I sure that will be fun! Hahaha
