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!

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...

      The Happy Tart review

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Ibuprofen

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
