Hi I found out through enterolabs that I need to cut out gluten and casien so for a week I have, except my magnesium I was taking still was not gluten-free, so I got gluten-free mag. and this is my third day being totaly gluten-free and no casien. Today I feel terrible heartburn no "D" but going to the bathroom today 5 times! Still am very bloated and my muscles feel achy and knotted just feel crappy. Is this normal to feel this bad?

hi, yup its normal it took me about 3 months to feel good again. as well your body is going through a sort of withdrawl, from the gluten and casien, but no worries stick with it and you will feel better.

GOOD LUCK!

If you only quit the vitamins with the gluten 3 days ago you are still experiencing the effects. Be sure to check everything else that use on or in your body. It does take some time to heal but it took us a lot of time to get as sick as we needed to be to be diagnosed. Hang in there it will get better.

Yes this is pretty normal.

When I was diagnosed I had to ingest lots of gluten for about 4 weeks before the endoscopy and I was a total zombie for the 4 weeks plus about another 4 weeks after that.

You are feeling sick because your body is trying to heal itself.

If you want to speed up your recovery you need to really take care of yourself. This includes not ingesting anything unless you are positive that it is gluten free (I cut out anything processed unless it was labeled as gluten free). Also try getting a good gluten free multivitamin and a gluten free echinacea tablet (echinacea boosts the immune system, I find that it helps me recover from just about anything)

Remember that everyone heals at a different rate, some people start to feel better in a matter of days, for others it can take much longer.

I hope you start to feel better soon!

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
