Feeling Much Better...finally!

Hi,

I just wanted to write a quick word about how well I've been doing recently in the aim of encouraging anyone who is new to this, or is having a hard time in general.

I have been gluten free since march, and have been in pretty bad shape with the usual run of symptoms for about two years.

Anyway, since march my energy levels have gradually been getting better.

Last week I had a really really long week with work and starting back at university, as well as having loads of wedding planning to do and having the flu. Halfway through the week, I was walking into university in the rain with a giant backpack full of book and feeling pretty sorry for myself when it dawned on me that only 6 months ago I barely had the energy to get off the couch and was sure that I was dying!!!

I am so grateful for my diagnosis - there were times that I found it really difficult finding anything I could eat and sometimes I thought I would never get better, but finally I am feeling like my old self again :D

Thanks for posting. I can be amazing how far back we can come from being as sick as we were. Physically I feel younger at 50 than I did at 20. :D Well worth the initial adjustment. Glad you are doing better. It sounds like things are very busy right now.

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
