On Saturday I will be completely gluten free (with 2 cases of accidental glutening) for 3 full weeks. I was self-diagnosed after I graduated college this year, but stopped by to see some of my old professors who had to work over the summer. All of the people I saw remarked about how healthy I looked, even to my Band Director noting that my HAIR of all things looked healthier.

Sometimes it's hard to see just how much change happens until you run into people you haven't seen in a long time. I'm really glad I did.

I am glad you are making such good progress. It really makes the adjustment to the gluten free lifestyle so worth it doesn't it.

Congrats!!

Isn't just an amazing change!!!

I remember when I was consuming massive amounts of poison to get tested. I went to a local celiac group meeting and introduced myself to the woman that runs it. She remarked on how tired I looked and how deep the circles under my eyes were.

Now, three months later, she's pleased to see how much energy I have and how I have really just gotten so much more healthy. It makes the struggle all worthwhile to have you life back - and you hair too!!

Happiness indeed!!!

YAY!!!!

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Fighting for a name

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.
