Gluten Free And Feeling Better!

Hello all! just wanted to update here. I have been gluten free since October, and I have to say I feel 70% better! I still have issues, but not as bad. I still have "arthritis" although I was hoping that would be better, and I am pre-diabetic, but nothing that exercise and diet wont help. The toughest part is finding the gluten free foods, but its getting better. I have been referred to a wonderful GI doc, and even though the soonest they can see me for endo and colonoscopies is the middle of March, I told them Im not going to eat gluten, and they completely understand. In fact, they just want to make sure there is nothing else going on with me as well, but so far, Im doing so much better eating gluten free, that if I never get a difinitive diagnosis, it doesnt matter. A positive diet result is good enough for me! I just hope I continue to get healthier, this has been my new years resolution!

I hope things continue to improve. It took over six months for my arthritis to go into remission so I hope soon it does the same for you. If you can get your doctor to refer you to a physical therapist sometimes they can speed things up a bit and get you moving better. It is hard to motivate to move when it hurts to do so and they can help.

      I ate a hotdog bun on accident today and I haven’t ate bread in years

      By trents · Posted

      If it was me, within 2-3 hours I would be throwing up violently with excruciating abdominal cramps for 2-3 hours. When this phase was done I would go into the diarrhea phase for several hours. But every celiac is different in how they respond to getting "glutened".

      Gluten free wheat flour????

      By CJF · Posted

      I was recently browsing a local grocery store's for gluten free flour and they had a King Arthur bread flour that was made with wheat!!!! Can anyone on this site tell me more about this??  Is it really gluten-free? Safe for Celiac sufferers??? I'd love to make bread again that actually tastes like real bread.

      Typical Diagnosis Route

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For the celiac disease blood tests it needs to be 6-8 weeks eating lots of gluten daily, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy. Keep in mind that a diagnosis can also bring higher life insurance and private health insurance costs, so an official diagnosis can have some negative sides too. Another example is that many jobs now ask if you have a "disability" and celiac disease is included on their list of disabilities. Just some things to weigh out before proceeding.😉
