Hey to ALL who wrote me back. I have not totally learned how to use this site yet, and I couldn't figure out how to reply back to individual messages. I just wanted to say that I REALLY APPRECIATE all of the positive support I got. It made me feel so much better about my diagnosis. I still think it's going to be hard - but I have a much more positive outlook now. Thanks again. Roxie

Good job.

Believe me, we all understand how frustrating this journey is. One day at a time. You will feel well and be well sooner than you think. And you will have gifts to offer others...

Welcome to the board. It does get easier. Its hard on everyone at first. My hardest part to deal with was the loss of convenience. After my initial diagnosis we found that my daughter has gluten intolerance through enterolab. We thought she was a fine healthy little girl but after going gluten free by default due to me, alot of things like whining and temper tantrums went away. She occasionally would get a few bumps on her butt and we never knew what they were but now it only happens if she is accidentally glutened.

I always bring food with us now everywhere we go. Find some good lunch coolers (lands end has some nice ones). I also keep cake mix and a few ingredients for frosting on hand for parties so its quick to whip one up.

When I figured out what my intolerances were all my back aches that I had for over 22 years, they started when I was 13, have almost completely gone. I do have degenerative disc disease but on most days you wouldnt know it about me anymore. I hope you get as great of a blessing with that as I have.

      Blood results

      By trents · Posted

      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.
