When Do Symptoms Subside?

Hello all. I'm a newbie, diagnosed in May with celiac disease after the blood tests and biopsy. My diagnosis came after 4 years of lots of issues (which I'm sure you hear all the time) but what finally got me to demand an answer was the horrific reflux and vomiting I started to experience about 6 months ago. Last month during a doctor visit he told me that once I go gluten-free my symptoms should subside pretty drastically within a month. Well, I spent the morning puking and running to the bathroom. I guess I'm just looking for some reassurance that it will, indeed, get better eventually.

Are you getting gluten from anywhere non-food? Medicines, cosmetics, old pans or cutting boards? Gluten is insidious and can hide anywhere, for a long time.

Brand-new here too. I discovered that along with gluten, I was also intolerant to soy (at least for the time being anyway). I'd definitely double-check for the gluten, but keep in mind there may be another intolerance or two that's bugging you.

Hope your tummy gets happy as quickly as possible!

I was in pain and had issues for almost a year. It wasn't until I gave up corn and soy that I had a pain free day. Gluten can be everywhere in a shared household. I was CC myself in the beginning a lot. You need your own toaster and strainer, cutting board etc. It's a lot to wrapped your mind around in the beginning, but with time, it does get better! Read and read here you will learn a lot to help you. Keep a food diary also to help you figure out if other foods bother you. Everyone is different, it depends on how much damage you have. It will get better!!! It takes time, be patient with yourself and know you're learning how to be gluten-free. Right now I would focus on any CC in your home. Make sure your food is on a top shelf. Baggies to hold food in fridge is good. Seperate condiments etc. Probiotics and vitamins as well! Hang in there!!

I've been gluten-free for 2 1/2 weeks. I'm glad you asked the question. I still feel pretty lousy and wasn't given any sort of time frame to feel better. I felt awful after eating last night and wondered if it was normal.

I'd like to add...yesterday my son grabbed the can opener to open his spaghettios. He asked if I had gotten a seperate can opener for myself..and I hadn't thought of that! Be sure you have seperate everything.

It could be cc or another food allergy or intolerence. I had to stop dairy cause of the lactose.

      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
