I don't understand something...One of my symptoms is water retention in my thighs and stomach. When I first when gluten/egg/dairy free, I lost all the water (boy that was heaven!). Then, all of a sudden, it's back. I noticed this happening a couple of times.I eat the same things as I did during the "no water" period, so why would it come back?

Has anybody ever had symptoms come and go for no apparant reason?

you didnt change anything else to your diet??? i have digestion problems with excess fructose- so if i eat a pear- i will swell & bloat up and have pain, etc...

also, when i finally got dx with hypothyroid- and got on meds- i de-swelled big time

Yes.

I assume it's some sort of reaction to something else, as it's not a glutening but I will puff up sometimes when I eat commercially baked gluten free goods - I thought i was tapioca but it's not, or it's random- could be xanthan gum, maybe, in my case. And if I exercise it goes down.

Can you pinpoint what you are eating that has this effect? Are you having any other glutened issues? Some of us do become more sensitive to CC after we have healed a bit so a food diary might be helpful in pinpointing what the cause is.

All gluten free products do that to me, but soy does it to me also. So it could be either one or both.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Not Sure What to Think

      By MMH13 · Posted

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.
