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.

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem.

But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
