Now I've Done It

Hello Everyone

I'm new here, but I've been reading posts for about a month.

Here's my story- I've had digestive issues ALL of my life and I'm 54. A few months ago I went on the South Beach diet, and they miraculously disappeared! I cheated, and started feeling sick again. I just happened to read a blog written by someone with Celiac, and it sounded very much like me. Since then I've been doing a lot of reading.

I have an appointment with my doctor at the end of this month, where I will ask to be tested. I've been sure to eat gluten everyday. Yesterday I WAY over did it, and I've been sick as a dog since. I feel like I'm burned from my lips all the way to the other end( without being graphic).

Up until now, I haven't had many episodes of diarreah, just terrible bloating, gas, and abdominal pain. I made up for it in a big way today!!

Make sure to atleast eat the equiv of 4 slices of bread a day.

How long have you been not eating gluten...normally when you do a gluten challenge, it's for longer than a month.

I also wanted to know for sure and did the testing.

I hope you find your answers.

I've been back on gluten since the beginning of December. I'll try gluten again tomorrow, but NOT today.

THat's good(well not so good feeling I'm sure but atleast you have a better chance at having a "true" test)

Good Luck with your testing!

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      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.
