Off Gluten 2 Weeks!

I am STILL waiting on my blood-test results for the celiac panel. The labs came back on Wed of this past week. I have been calling daily, and they are on the Doctors desk for review. I still have not heard from him. I have a feeling it was negative because (I assume) he would have called otherwise? I will try again on Monday...

I have been off gluten for about 2 weeks now. The gas pain and bloating that occurred almost every evening has stopped! My mood is feeling better, I lost a few pounds, and my skin looks great!

I was wondering if the reynauds/sjrogrens symptoms will subside or slow down as well? Has anyone seen changes with these autoimmune issues by removing gluten? The reynauds started last year and seems to be getting progressively worse (especially with the cold weather settling in).

Also...I am still working on the thyroid stuff...I requested my test results for hashimatos, and will post them on here once I get them.

I don't think him not calling means its negative. It means the people at the office are lazy :P lol, don't know about sjrogens and gluten free but I do think most find it to improve off gluten. Thyroids are nasty things. Luck with that one too!

P.S. adorable kid in your profile pic. gotta love that curly hair B)

thank you! That is my 2 year old :) I can't bring myself to cut his curls! Thyroids are nasty-I haven't even began to figure that one out yet. I'm taking it one day at a time, and learning a ton!

Kathy,

Yes, many people see a remission/improvement in many other autoimmune conditions. My alleged Hashimito's before DX? --well, I do not even have it-- and I took meds for 2 years for no good reason. :angry: That was my experience, though. My thyroid is perfectly fine.

Look under the forum for RELATED Disorders or use the Search Forum up at the top of the screen and you will see that MANY people have posted about Raynaud's and Sjrogen's and Hashi's. Posting these questions under the topic "Off gluten 2 weeks" may not get you any answers as no one knows you are asking about these things in particular.

Okay? okay! ;)

Best wishes, IH

I was lost the first month or so, but people helped me :) and so, I wanted to point you in the right direction as well.

How you entitle your post --and in the right section---will get you the most responses!

If I can help you in any other way, I will. If I do not know the answer, I may know who will. These folks are the best! :)

I was going to say cute little boy, but my sisters little girl is always called a little boy so I thought I would tread on the side of caution. I wouldn't cut the hair either. Too cute! My little niece has curly hair but it is so thin and it doesn't grow much (shes 3 and it isn't even an inch long). I'd say a good time to cut it is when he starts running into the walls because he can't see :P Or when he can't walk because he trips on his hair. Either-or.

      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...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      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

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      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 have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.
