Hi,

i wondered if anyone could help me, ive been on a gluten free diet since the end of january now. ive noticed some changes im feeling alot more enegetic and im actually experiencing the feeling of hunger!! which i havent had for months! im also putting on weight, i had been told i was quite under weight so i guess its a good thing. i also havent had periods for over a year which im thinking could be related? just recently ive broken out in lots of spots and my eyes are extremly puffy could this mean that my body is starting to heal? and get the nutrients it needs or is that a bit early?

also im being reffered to hospital for tests for celiac but i have been gluten free for couple of months so would that mean the test would come back negative?

hope ive made sense! would be really gratefull for your advise thankyou all!

Holly if your already gluten free that will impact the tests and they are not all that reliable anyway. The fact that you are feeling better is really a good indication that the diet is needed. Have you eliminated gluten from your toiletries and cosmetics and other sources of CC? Once our bodies are starting to heal even tiny amounts can set off the antibody reaction, this is a good thing and our bodies way fo telling us how toxic it is. It can be hard at first to ferret out all the potential gluten sources and it takes time for the body to heal. The spots (do they itch?) and the puffy eyes could be an indication that there is gluten in your eye makeup or lotions etc. and your body is letting you know it sneaked in. Be sure to check all your OTC meds and scripts also, something doctors don't always think to tell us.

      Blood results

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.
