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!)

Good for you! You have done extremely well. I bet in retrospect a year does not seem very long! Be proud of this gigantic accomplishment. Revel in it. :D

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

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.
