What Are We Looking Forward To?

Hi everyone,

I was really inspired by the positive post here about the benefits of going gluten free! I thought it might be nice for us to share the health and social benefits we are looking forward to as our intestines heal/the symptoms of gluten intolerance fade away! Something to help us persevere with our diets when the times get tough! :)

I'm really grateful that some of my symptoms are clearing up now (I found a sneaky cause of accidental glutening!), which is a relief because it has been 8 months since my celiac diagnosis and I was getting rather frustrated and negative about my lack of improvement!

I'm looking forward to:

*No more abdominal pain (although it has improved significantly)

*Not having (ahem) "all or nothing" BM's!

*Having energy

*The "brain fog" clearing up

*No more need for naps

*Not feeling lightheaded and "weak"

*Having enough energy to get back into proper exercise!

-Armae :)

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      fortunately you don't need to understand anything that doesn't directly affect you.  🤗 you earlier assumed I was deficient in nutrients and minerals due to celiac malabsorption but...... now it doesn't matter? because why? it might mess up your deficiency argument?  if you don't know the difference between having actual celiac disease and NCGS....!!!! correct me if I'm wrong but actual celiac disease causes actual physical damage to your body and increases your risk of certain cancers... just as a start. I have an identical twin sister- IF I have celiac disease, chances are she may too. I have a daughter and other first degree relatives... you also get ADA protections with an actual celiac diagnosis.  but again, not your decision to make  nor to understand. but to suggest that there is no valid reason to find out for sure is incomprehensible on a board dedicated to celiac disease. if you ask me but you didn't so- nevermind.   don't worry though, another member has declared that in her expert opinion based on who knows what- that I don't have celiac!!!  but instead I am "full of beans" and probably killing myself for eating such scary things, I don't know.   if you think you can diagnose me off one single biomarker and a hunch of some sort...based on your history and some research study that you think is relevant- um, well, Glad to meet you, Dr McCoy aka Bones. 🫠 I did not know this was a place where strangers want to play doctor  I am hoping to hear from other members who are not so quick to make judgements and... stuff, let's just leave it at that... perhaps there aren't any.  time will tell I guess

      I don't understand why you are continuing to persue a differencial diagnosis of celiac disease vs. NCGS.  Once you stop eating gluten, those symtoms will go away.  One less thing to worry about.  You improve without gluten so you proved the point.  Why beat yourself up?  Without gluten you can focus on the symptoms that remain and maybe over time, with the right nutrition for you, full recovery.  But it takes time to undo a livetime of poisoning. I'd still like to know your vitamin D. Feel free to ignore me.
