How long before I feel better? I've been gluten-free since the day I found out and I've got this burning rash, nerve pain and eye pain. My eyelashes have been falling out lately.. Skin feels overall inflamed.

its hard to say, cause everyone has different amounts of damage. some on here say it took months to feel better.

ive gone gluten free several times before i finally did it for good this july... it's always taken me about 3-4 weeks to feel like i had a fairly normal digestive tract.

its been @11 weeks for me-> my digestion is pretty ok as long as i dont overdo lactose, fructose, or fructans. still have a small patch of DH. and still little tired/anxious... but im suspecting a hypothyroid.

hang in there, just takes time.. and you may also have to pinpoint additional food intolerances... or vitamin deficiencies.

idk about that... this is my first patch of DH ( i think) and im 38. before this i only had severe excema, psoraisis, dandruff, and a couple of unidentified things- all left when gluten free.

except this DH, BUT- i think people on here say that it DOES go away

It goes away.

But if you get glutened, it might flare up again.

Aka, a motivational symptom.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      Gluten Sensitivity

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?

      Gluten Sensitivity

      I spent my first 50 years eating wheat products every single day with no ill affects. Being a 6’2” Italian you can imagine what my diet was like and believe me I had an appetite that wouldn’t quit. In the 90’s once I discovered the wheat was my problem I avoided it and no longer had IBS. I seriously doubt I have celiac but I appreciate your input a...

      Gluten Sensitivity

      I would say two things and then I'm done. Many celiacs have been misdiagnosed for years with IBS. Testing for celiac disease requires regular and significant consumption of gluten for weeks/months in order to be valid.

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      Can the rest of your household eat the food with gluten instead of getting rid of it? Can you create one shelf, or partial shelf, for your new food in the pantry, in the fridge and in the cabinets as a start? My husband is not gluten free so we each have a cabinet, and separate shelves in the fridge. If we have to share space the gluten free foods...

I’ve been eating things I’ve longed for for decades and have never felt better.

My husband is not gluten free so we each have a cabinet, and separate shelves in the fridge. If we have to share space the gluten free foods go on the upper shelves so crumbs with gluten can’t fall onto them. Good luck!
