Miserable ;(

Increasingly over the last month or so my symptoms have returned worse than ever; D, cramps,gas,bloating etc. It actually seems worse than before diagnosis and going gluten-free. I am miserable. I have been gluten-free since august. I am exploring all possibilities for this; cc, other intolerances, possibly other issues. Possibly a ss? I am so tired of feeling like this! I try to have a good outlook and press on- but this is starting to get to me! I have decided that I am going back to my original gluten-free diet of rice, chicken, bananas and almond butter; the foods I had started with when I first went gluten-free and started to feel better and see how that goes. Thanks for letting me vent, I am just so uncomfortable and frustrated!

Your body may be de-toxing, or you may be sensitive& getting gluten from utensils,dining out or a product around your house....For instance pet food ???? scratched plastics,scratched pots & pans ...

Mamaw, unfortunately it may be all of the above :( (Except the dining out) We are on a very tight budget here and it has taken me since august to get just some basic commercial gluten-free products. I guess I will go back to rice (rice cooker has remained gluten-free) and cooking my food in tin foil (no cc). Then instead of expanding my pantry, work on getting the pets gluten-free and some new tupperware for food @ work. Possibly ask for new pots and pans from santa ;) Do you think I NEED to get rid of my cast iron? I can probably count on one hand the # of times over the last 10 or so years it was used for anything glutenny. Do you think scrubbing and re-seasoning would work?

There does seem to be a lot of us that get sad/angry/depressed around the three month mark. Just seems like it is taking forever with only small if any improvement :(

I had to go back to basics. Meat, veg, fruit. Added ONE ingredient at a time and only one a day or every few days if I was having troubles. Makes it so so so much easier to find what works and what doesn't. Seems my body is quite happy now without all the chemicals/additives. I really hope this works for you too.

Make sure you find something to keep you calm ( i know.. sounds impossible). Read, walk, play with your pet, put on your favourite music. And get on here to vent or get more advice because without this place I would have been in the mental ward!

Processed gluten-free stuff doesn't sit well with us. Staying away from it is for the best. We reseasoned our cast iron successfully, and got used stainless steel pots.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
