I Can't Believe This!

Hey everyone,

I am so thrilled at how I've felt today. My head felt clear and I've had energy all day. Only felt a little funny after eating a mini Almond Joy. I am so hoping that this will last. Only been gluten free since Wednesday, but did so right after my colonoscopy/endoscopy. Also started taking a multivitamin and calcium/magnesium supplement and juicing with fresh veggies and fruit every day.

Is this normal? Anyone else have this reaction after going gluten-free?

Yes, I have also eliminated casein (dairy) and, oh yeah, alcohol. I notice that it takes a couple of days to get the casein and gluten out of my system, alcohol takes a week and a half. I have been juicing to: 1/2 a dozen ice cubes, banana, assorted fruits and whammo ready to go!

I had a similar experience with feeling much better after going gluten-free. I have been so for about 3 weeks and have some continuing symptoms of bloating/indigestion/reaction to fats - something that makes the gut feel very full and painful. Big appetite and pleasuer from eating again vs. always feling bad about eating...I am waiting for my blood tests to see about anti-body confirmation. I understand that the degree of damage to the gut can affect the recovery rate and that some people experience continuing symptoms....? I have insomnia issues and do not feel 100%, although the difference in how I feel is very rncouraging. How does one find out what one needs in terms of diet practices, vitamins, etc. that may aid the recovery? I have fatty liver and need to lose weight. The improvement in mood, irritability, and inflammatory symptoms in joints is very encouraging. I hope that it is not just a "placebo effect" and that it is all in my mind.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
