How much did it cost? I'd love to have professional help but am already in the financial slums as it is.

You can go to the Catholic Family Services Centers around the country, they provide very reduced fee therapy, for low income. I know someone interning there who also does an eating disorders group. You do not have to be Catholic or religious to use their services.

I got sessions for free. I live in Tampa near USF. USF has a Psychology department which offers Ph.ds. They have a program that you have to apply for. If you have low income, you can get free counseling by someone who is nearly finished with their Ph.d.

You might want to look around your local to see what is available either free or on a "sliding scale".

May I put you in touch with a friend of mine? She's been dealing with an ED for a long time, is a recovered anorexic, and regularly speaks about eating disorders. She even had an article in Marie Clare. May I ask her permission and then pm you her email?

Sure!

By the way, I don't know if I should still go gluten-free/df/cf/pf/sf or not anymore. I don't know whether my pain this week was from massive binging or not.

Could you describe the kind of pain you're talking about? And have you experienced this particular pain with binging before?

Well I had more gluten today, in reasonable amounts, just to make sure.

Symptoms:

Very VERY tender stomach. Painful to the touch.

Extremely bloated.

Irritable.

Dizziness and terrible cough (as soon as I took a bite).

It was also hard to breath for a moment today.

Lethargy. I almost got in a wreck the other day because after eating a treat from Whole Foods I was immediately about to fall asleep behind the wheel.

These are not the symptoms of binging.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      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.
