and it is gone. for 3 days running! this is, like, the eight thousanth painful/uncomfortable/annoying/freaky thing that has gone away. i didn't even know i had it! and neck pain has been soooo much better. it's amazing what you can learn to live with as 'normal' :( also, 'baby hair' growing back on my head (you know, that little layer of new hair...! ) also, got a cold and my BODY fought it OFF instead of having it turn into pneumonia. i am so scared to be hopeful if anybody can relate to that. could this be my new deal??????? feeling awesome??????? not freezing to death in 60 degree weather? what??

i feel like i am shedding layers of sludge. i am afraid this is too good to be real?

I'm happy for you that you are feeling well. It truely is wonderful to wake up one morning and say "wow I feel good."

Yea it's for real. Amazing how many things improve that we would never think of as connected. Glad to hear you are healing well.

I didn't know how sick I was until I got better. It is amazing what we can think of as normal.

Those are my sentiments exactly. And the perma-headache... I had that, too. It was the first thing that went away and I thought, WOW! There's hope that I might actually feel better one day.

:) Love your post.

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat.  In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue.   A wedge pillow will really help with this - or raising the top bed legs with bricks.

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired.  I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years,  I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.
