Thank you so much to everyone on here that listen to me whine yesterday. Now I feel like a big dope. I dont know what happend to me yesterday. I was tired and hungry and freaked out. My husband came home early to take me to Whole foods. I got some bread that was like eating poison. Even the ducks wont eat it!!!!!TRUE STORY!!!!! Any way I got rice checks and m&ms and Edys ice cream. I think to day is looking better. Did any one on here ever hire a nutritionist? Or is that a waste of money. I dont have money to waste but have an appointment with one but wondering if I really need it. It is $125.00 an hour. Just want some opinions on that. I look forward to having a much better day and hope all of you do too.

And a special thanks to mommagoose

There is an edit function! Thank goodness... so you can go back for 48 hours I think if you need to correct some spelling errors.

Stay away from the 10 ton bread. You remember what regular bread tastes like, don't try the gluten-free versions for a while. Or better yet, just bake your own. It's much better!!!

Don't feel like a dope, we've all been there. It's a process. We'll understand when no one else will.

Val,

I am so please that you are feeling better. You have found a support system no better, than here.

I would make sure that you have your blood work done, routinely as you travel through the diet. Some of your numbers were mighty low. I don't often recommend a nutritionist (I never went to one) but in your case, it might be a good choice. It will help you get on track with good foods. ;)

Another great book is Dangerous Grains, by Dr. Peter Green.

Buy the Triumph Grocery Guide and make this site your new best friend. Everything will look up from then on. :D

Hugs, Lisa

Hey friend,

's o.k. I did a lot of that too. It's kinda like being blindsided and vunerable, and having some self determination taken away. It's scary to begin with.

But look at you today, already taking steps in making choices.

You're going to be o.k.

Educate yourself, that's the key.

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
