Please don't be affraid.

I've only been here for almost two months, the help, and support that found here is enormous. Everyone is very humble and ready to help. From an advice to a prayer we are here for you. We all know what struggles and concerns one can have at the beginning.

Here you will make friends that will last forever.

So I encourage you to come out, here we all are like the three musketeers. "One for all, and all for one"

Take care.

Good for you. We have enough with gluten. I told the doctor I am not taking anymore the librax, I like my hyperactivity.

Okay Pedro, how did you find us? You start

Pedro, well said

I think we all "lurked" for some point...I know I did!!!!! Even after I joined, it took me awhile to get going.

Happy that you have joined us...and hope that others will as a result of this post.

Okay

I found this site on a day that I was sooooooo tired and so sick and without any hope of solving any of my digestive issues. I was ready to belive it was all in my head. I google for support groups and this came out. It was destiny. You guys open my vision you gave me hope, I found thru one the postings about EnteroLabs, and the rest is history. Thru your experiences I've been able to share my story and educate inform many people about Celiac and gluten allergies.

You all are a blessing!!!!!!!!!!

I did plenty of lurking here.

The first post is the hardest. the rest comes very easy, because you feel at home immediately here.

I don't even remember how I found this site...I just know that it's been such a blessing to me. I lurked for a long time, and then when I finally got up the nerve, it seemed like every time I posted I killed the topic! I still spend a fair amount of time lurking, but I really try to share my experiences, thoughts and recipes, etc. Anything to make it easier for others who are new or struggling or confused. It's been such a lifesaver to be able to hop on here whenever I want and pretty much be able to find whatever I need here. I've said it before and will say it again--I've learned soooooo much more from the people here than from almost every doctor I've been to.

It can also be a great soursce of entertainment at 2:00 in the morning when I can't sleep!

Guess I'd consider myself a double lurker, too.

I was handed a list of foods my cousin could no longer eat, she didnt know why.

My doctor didnt offer any answers he sent me away with more pills that didn't fix anything.

I took "the list" to the local dietician who did a bit more research, I think she may have actually looked at it, she said that "most" of the things on my "list" contained gluten, but she didnt know if that meant anything.....

I did a search for "gluten" and ended up here after a bit, lurked for a while.... signed up..... lurked more...learned more...... researched more.....

Confronted my Dr numerous times, came away with more pills that didnt work......

Finally said screw the dr's and diagnosed myself.

2 months later feeling better, not 100% but a dang site better getting better daily even tho I dont always notice the daily changes.

The day I found this site really turned my life around. I've only been gluten free for the last 3 months so still have so much to learn as I feel my way along, day by day. I'm afraid I am guilty of lurking still, much of the time.

There are so very many knowledgeable people here to learn from and I do learn constantly. It is a life long journey and it begins with small steps. Each day something new pops up and I go hmmmm Never would have thought of that.

Thank you for being here and sharing your experiences and encouragement.

Why is lurking so bad?

Lurking is not so bad, it's just a kind invitation to join us.

I didn't lurk on here too long. I first found the site after looking up itchy rashes. I thought maybe I had DH. Then I had a biopsy that came back spongiotic dermatitis. I found the natural cure for it was a gluten free diet and it led me here.
