gluten-free now for a whole year!! i had been diagnosed for months before and didn't tell a soul (denial) until i was sooo sick i couldn't avoid either taking ACTION or starving to death. i walked around for days crying and terrified, thinking: how in the world can i manage this - I CAN'T! IT'S TOO MUCH!! then my husband found me this wonderful website and all you beautiful celiacs. i couldn't have been this far down the road to recovery without you all - THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!!!! thanx for listening to me rant and whine - i hope to be as helpful to other people as you have been for me, especially in the beginning when it seems so overwhelming (i remember clearly standing in the grocery store, thinking: I CAN'T EAT *ANYTHING* then i left without buying anything.....) i am on this site every day, reading and hopefully learning better ways to cope with everyday things i used to take for granted. you guys understand like nobody else. i feel ten years younger although i am still healing, things are getting better. 'good' days are more frequent than 'bad' days now :) sooo: thank you for helping me take my life back. it suuuure feels fiiiiine :D

HERE'S to YOU: "the best club i never wanted to join" <stole that from somebody on here lol

much love, (and hugs, b/c we need them!)

It is so nice to age backwards :D

Great to hear you are feeling better. The gluten free lifestyle does take some getting used to but it is so worth it in the end.

Happy Anniversary

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Do keep in mind that most gluten free flours are not enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like gluten containing flours are required to do.

      Hi, @Rebeccaj, Those Villa that get damaged by eating gluten are the same villi that absorb nutrients from our food. Damaged villa can't absorb nutrients, vitamins and minerals well. If we don't get sufficient nutrients, our body can't function properly. We can get brain fog, pins and needles or neuropathy, feeling off balance, and even worsening...

      Do discuss this recent article with your doctors.  Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is important to intestinal health.  Thiamine deficiency can occur in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption.  Supplementing with a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and Vitamin D can help symptoms.   Thiamine deficiency aggravates experimental colitis in mice by promoting glycolytic reprogramming in macrophages https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39890689/#:~:text=Our mechanistic study revealed that,necessary to protect against colitis. "Conclusion and implications: Our study provides evidence linking thiamine deficiency with proinflammatory macrophage activation and colitis aggravation, suggesting that monitoring thiamine status and adjusting thiamine intake is necessary to protect against colitis."

      Do keep in mind that most gluten free flours are not enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like gluten containing flours are required to do.   Consuming a diet high in carbohydrates without sufficient B vitamins to digest and process them into energy can lead to High Calorie Malnutrition and weight gain. Deficiency symptoms of B vitamins resemble gastrointestinal symptoms when after eating gluten.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a form of Thiamine deficiency.   Do talk to your doctors about supplementing with essential nutrients while on the gluten free diet, especially if you're consuming processed foods.

      Hi, @Rebeccaj, Those Villa that get damaged by eating gluten are the same villi that absorb nutrients from our food.  Damaged villa can't absorb nutrients, vitamins and minerals well.  If we don't get sufficient nutrients, our body can't function properly.  We can get brain fog, pins and needles or neuropathy, feeling off balance, and even worsening digestive symptoms. Talk to your doctor or dietician about taking vitamin and mineral supplements while healing.  The gluten free diet can be low in nutrients, especially if you eat gluten free facsimile processed foods.  Gluten containing breads have vitamins added to them to replace those lost in processing.  Gluten free facsimile foods usually are not enriched nor fortified with vitamins.   Taking a B Complex, Benfotiamine, Vitamin D, and magnesium help the digestive tract heal, lowers histamine, and regulates the immune system.
