I am actually feeling so much better then i have ever felt in a long time. Yes i have my bad days when i miss up and get cc, but for the most part i feel awesome. Even today my mom was telling me it is so nice that i go out and do things as a family. I never noticed how i had been staying away from functions due to not knowing what was wrong with me. But now in the last 3 weeks, we have gone to 4 functions and i have not had to leave, or gotten sick or anything.

Its funny you have no idea how bad you are until you are feeing better. I just thought i was normail from having 4 kids in 5 years, and that is why i was tired. But not no more.

I am so glad i found out i was celiac and know how to get better. I know it wont be long til i am feeling like i did in college, i think that is when i felt my best lol.

I just wanted to let everyone know that is just starting on this journey that things will get better and it is so worth giving up gluten filled foods. I had to give up gluten, casein, beans and soy to feel as good as I do, but it is so worth it.

Paula,

Congratulations to you! It's great you are seeing such a huge change. I am about one year in and, although it still is up and down for me, I feel so much better, too. I have had to be gluten, soy, corn, legume and mostly dairy-free, though. I hope you continue feeling better!

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
