Hi Melissa,

Some of us are more sensitive than others. I, myself, have an ulcer and IBS in addition to Celiac. The people in your support group who don't have symptoms are very lucky. I can't answer your question about how long it takes before our symptoms go away because I was only diagnosed last May and have the added medical issues. I just wanted to make sure there was an answer to your post so you'd know you're not alone. I know that someone with more experience and more answers will post a response soon. Just know I'm here if you need to vent.

I am brand new to this, but I am shocked about how intense my reactions are. A few months ago I didn't feel well at all, but I was getting through my days eating gluten and not ever connecting the dots of what was making me feel so bad.

Yesterday I got glutened after being gluten free for only 4 months and my head was spinning with all the things that were happening to me just from "trace" amounts of gluten. It was overwhelming and truly scarey.

Sometimes when I read through the forums I get nervous thinking that other intolerances are sure to follow. It feels like everyone has more than just one thing they have to watch. As far as I know I only have gluten and an allergy to pineapple to beware of. I hope it stays like that forever, but I am wary that Celiac Disease is just the doorway to other things I don't want.

Sorry to be a downer, but it's my very real concern.

Back at you girlfriend. we WILL get through this together. And we're lucky enough to have a whole community to support us. BTW, I just moved from NJ. If you feel like it PM me where you live. I'll be going back to visit this summer. Perhaps we could meet. Patti (jerseyangel), that goes for you, too!
